Your Thursday Night AFC East Defensive Tussle Open Thread

Flannel pyjamas on? Check. Beer cracked open? Check. Scotch poured? Check. Snacks at the ready? Check. Willful forgetting of workday? Check.  Fantasy lineups checked? Check. Dog’s ears scratched? Check. Inquiry made into status of older son’s day? Check. Inquiry made into status of younger son’s day? Check. Shoo-ing away of wife? Check. Inchoate plan to miss work tomorrow slowly forming? Check. Well, it seems like everything is in order here. To the game…

Buf @ NYJ: Cliche-wise there’s a saying about puppy love being important to only the puppies involved and I think this applies here. If the Jets take this their wild-card positioning gets that much more comfy. Bills-wise, a win would be Andre The Giant-huge in that it would leap-frog them over the Jetskis for that same status. Rushing-wise the Bills need to get to 125 yards-when they reach this mark they win. Against the Jets D-Line this will be a significant accomplishment so I think the key is QB Taylor. If he can grab a few first downs with his footsies the Bills chances of winning increase greatly. D-wise which team comes out on top?-the one that wins the turnover differential. Eight of their nine combined wins correlated with getting more TO’s. Injury-wise New York’s secondary is screwed-DB’s Pryor, Skrine and Cromartie are all busted up. Bills-wise, McCoy is a “suit up and pray for the best” situation.

Why Thank You Eddie

Hey! I found something waaaay more exciting than this game! Did you know green and red make yellow? They are complimentarycolors.

Why Thank You Eddie

The fuck? Bitch told me it would be yellow. Its gray. No, wait, its brownish gray. Ok here it comes. Its green-gray. That’s ok. We’ll just add some more. Cause this has a lot of yellow, but a brown..tinge. But don’t add white. Grayed-down yellow. See the difference?

I just bought a bottle of Crown Royal Maple. Because it was on sale and this game BLOWS.

Why Thank You Eddie

Are there pancakes involved?

ballsofsteelandfury

There will be…

Doktor Zymm

I haven’t had a pancake shot in ages.

Why Thank You Eddie

Excuse me. Point of outrage. Is there a reason there is no Santa or Jesus on these uniforms?

Why Thank You Eddie

Sadly, we will not need a bigger bow. How unfortunate.

See. There is such thing as a Tromboner. Thank you Mr. Moose.

I’ve never loved the Trumpet do much.

“So how do we jazz up boring ass Thursday night games?”
“Better matchups?”
“YOU’RE FIRED!”
“How about eye searing uniforms that make the game seem likes it’s being played by mutated, murderous elves?”
“Great job! Here’s a barrel of cocaine and three Thai hookers. Give yourself a raise!”

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

So, on Rex’s Bose (official NFL headphones) headphones is a continuous loop of the squishing sound of women’s feet being lavishly oiled?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Just curious.

There’s some moaning, too.

Is it raining there now? That should really make these offenses purr.

Giving up on this one.

Sorry, scotch.

nomonkeyfun

I’m stuck with my phone tand whiskey tonight. Willl someone tell me which is the main thread. I can’t get through a Jets-Bills game without liquor and help.

Recovery Whiskey

How the hell are you fine people. By gawd these unis are like Starbucks cups mixed with Green Jello

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
Doktor Zymm

This seems like a good time to break out my good Scotch.

Recovery Whiskey

Approve.

nomonkeyfun

Is this game really worth good Whiskey? I’m punishing myself by drinking Canadian Mist.

Doktor Zymm

This will be the first time since MNF that I’m at home and conscious for more than half an hour at a stretch and I’m spending it watching X-mas on Turf. I’m damn well upping my enjoyment with the good stuff.

nomonkeyfun

Is that one of those bad movies or arre you talking about the unis?

Doktor Zymm

The unis. Though I assume that’s what the movie adaptation of this game will be called.

nomonkeyfun

It could be worse. At least it isn’t a Cornell-Dartmouth game.

Sill Bimmons

A DFO DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF CANNOT STAND

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Pfft, I can stand fine, I’m not that drunk yet.

bourb0nblues

worlds colliding?

Doktor Zymm

Oh. I see what y’all mean about the colors now. Does the winning team of elves get to make all the teddy bears for Santa this year?

blordinaryfagicmox

I choose the other thread.

The poofball hat makes Bowles even more terrifying.

To top it all off, this thing is going to take for fucking ever at this rate.

So I assume we have two threads running in honor of Brandon Marshall?

blordinaryfagicmox

I can’t stand the thought of being in the wrong thread, so I must monitor both.

I blame scothnaut for posting the second one, but yes we are all alternating between them at the moment

Dunno why this is so mesmerising…but it surely is.

Doktor Zymm

I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to gather the mental resources to find a stream for this game, when I’ve already tried and failed to gather the mental resources to order a cheeseburger. I think I can manage enough effort to pour myself a drink. Maybe that will help. I should just walk to my corner bar where they have food, booze, and NFL Network, but I’m not repantsing.

King Hippo

Remember, liquid is a KIND of food.

When you get old, you may find that solids top agreeing with you anyways.

Crisitunity is turning one’s old people problems into solid alcoholism justifications!

Doktor Zymm

I’m a fan of combining the two, ala rum cake that is just me putting a normal piece of cake in a glass of rum.

nomonkeyfun

The radio is your friend my good fair lady. They may be as bad as the TV announcers, but you have a different pairing each week.

Doktor Zymm

That’s not a bad idea. I don’t think I’ve actually listened to the radio outside of a car….in the last some large number of years.

nomonkeyfun

I can’t reccomend radio enough. Whether it is fully terrestrial or online.
Music wise I would rec WFMU.I know OSZ spoke to them online for their probably only sports show back in the dark time. Great free form radio and all of their programs are available on the intertubes.

King Hippo

I discovered this to be a problem when I wanted to listen to the post-game after State won at U*NC in hoops last year. I no longer have a radio receiver in the house. Had to sit in my garage.

The radio broadcast usually is a fuckton better.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Is it any surprise that Ed Reed would speak in endorsement of a player whose name he thought was “Tie Rod”?

Sill Bimmons

Someday, you’ll be able to tell your grandchildren that you were there for The Great Uniform Apocalypse Of 2015.

Your retinas did not die in vain!

nomonkeyfun

The 1980’S already killed my retinas. As far I’m concerned that Santayana version of the 1950′ s should burn in hell.

nomonkeyfun

So, I will be bringing this up in the DFO Google groups tomorrow, but I’m thinking about posting the homoerotic adventures of Tony D—-, in the vein of Fanny Hill.

Thoughts?

King Hippo

We should have a “repressed homosexuality” rating, from 0 to 10, and call it the Dungy/Tebow scale.

nomonkeyfun

I’ll have any early draft of the first couple of chapters early next for the Elite commentists consideration.

Sill Bimmons

hey guys

King Hippo

HAI SILL

nomonkeyfun

Bon Jour, Senor

King Hippo

Oh, I gots me TWO DFO windows open! BUHLEE DAT!!!

nomonkeyfun

I”m a serial monogamist, at least when I can get a lady friend to show me her lady parts. Only one DFO window at a time, but I will look hard at other pages.

nomonkeyfun

How soon until Scotch gets food poisoning from his chili?

I give three more days.

King Hippo

That fine line between “wow the spices have really set in nicely” and “oh noes, I shittin’ blood”

Sill Bimmons

As long as you heat it to boiling for 10 minutes before you eat it your chili can theoretically last forever.

King Hippo

Holy shit, that’s my dinner aussi!

But mine is buffalo chili…be all jelly

I just saw the Jets jerseys and now I’m in the mood for lime.

The GT/VPI game will make you think about dissolving corpses, too.
