Your Titans/Jags Thursday Night Open Thread

A far less cynical commenter than I pointed out to me that this game isn’t exactly “eye poison”. Let’s take a look at this half-full game with some rose-coloured glasses, shall we?

Ten @ Jax: The Jags are 2-2 at home and with a win will tie the Luck-less Colts for first place in the AFC South. Bortles is tied for the league lead in game-winning drives. All three victories were the result of him marching his team down the field in the waning minutes for the last score. Not too shabby. Fantasy-wise the Jags feature the highest-scoring WR duo. Robinson made a bit of a splash last year but the real revelation is Hurns. He was the guy I made fun of in a snarky post at the beginning of the season. Well, he’s scored a TD in 7 straight, averages 17 yards a catch and caused me to place my tail between my legs when I picked him up off the waiver wire a few weeks ago. QB Mariota (do we have a nickname for this guy yet-I think he’ll be around for a dozen years or so) has thrown for 4 TD’s and no intercepts twice. He’s in a bad, interim-coach situation and hasn’t completely shit the bed which bodes well for his future but not his early development.

Phil, they’re pretending this is an NFL game; how much more fucking deception do you want?

King Hippo

Holy shit, we might can has touchdown?

Maybe, but probably not.

We were found unworthy.

Haha. That’s what you get for having hope.

For the duration of this game, you can remove the word “color.”

At least we haven’t shown a young Traci Lords film.

Horatio Cornblower

Traci Elizabeth Lords (born Nora Louise Kuzma on May 7, 1968) is an American actress, singer, model, writer, producer and director. Born in Steubenville, Ohio, she first became known for her underage appearances in pornographic movies. Initially accepting a job as a nude model at the age of 15, she then became a movie actress. “After being featured in the September 1984 issue of Penthouse magazine, Lords appeared in dozens of illegal videos between 1984 and 1986, and became one of the most sought-after pornography actresses of the era. During May 1986, when authorities discovered she had been underage while making all but one of her pornographic movies, distributors were ordered to remove all her material to avoid the risk of prosecution for trafficking in child pornography. The withdrawal of her movies cost millions of dollars and her case became the biggest scandal to affect the pornographic movie industry.”

Wikipedia, so take it FWIW

My TV has frozen. Even my Cable Box doesn’t want to see the 2nd half.

Did Jeeem just say “two suck up field goals?”

He said “this game sucks and all of you should go to bed.”

My favorite part of that article is finding out the Japanese have a specific word for bar food.

Doktor Zymm

When I was in the Baltic they had separate sections on the menu for both beer snacks and liquor snacks. They have the best bar snack in the world. They take good rye bread, cut it into strips, roll it in garlic, and then melt cheese on there. I was in Vilnius for 10 days, I ate that stuff every day. If I lived there I would be dead within 5 years.

entropy

That sounds like a lovely way to go, though.

Doktor Zymm

There was also fantastic local beer and brandy, and a surprising amount of good local music. Plus everything was super cheap. It’s on my list of potential retirement locations.

I have yet to automate my home to the point where a tiny robot butler brings me beers from the fridge. It’s good to have goals.

Instead of referring to games with this score as “defensive struggles,” can we rename them “remedial offense studies?” It seems more honest, somehow.

Right now Satan is recording this game just in case it goes into overtime so he can show it on a loop in hell for the next few millennia.

I’ve decided that I should start playing “Bustin’ Loose” every time there’s a fumble, as that’s clearly what the ball is thinking in such a moment.

For “various reasons?” How “various” is “he fucking sucked?”

Oh the many ways a QB fails

Half the distance to the goal? Okay, 49 yard penalty it is.

...

My dream NFL game is one that ends on a series of no fewer than ten half the distance to the goal penalties.
