Your Late Afternoon Football-Related Open Thread

KC @ SD: The Chefs have won 3 straight? [checks sked] Yup. No turnovers during that stretch either. ESPN has them winning out the rest of their games as well. Silly, huh? Well, they’ve got the Chargers twice, the Ravens, the Browns, the Bills and the Raiders twice. I’ve seen more unlikely things occur. See if you can get some odds on them winning the AFC West. Ignore the odds on them winning the AFC South. It’s a sucker’s bet. Woodhead looks like a nice play this week what with WR’s Kidney Allen and Floyd not likely to play. You just know that The Mightiest Christian Of Them All will be throwing for Jesus all game long because his D just doesn’t believe. I can’t confirm this but having just given birth, Tiffany Rivers is preggo once again.

GB @ Min: This game might be the keeper. Though the Pack have lost 3 in a row including the thrashing last week by the Lions they are still a team to be reckoned with. TB (Trophy Beard) Olivia Munn’s favourite manicurist’s play has fallen off as teams have blitzed him relentlessly. Despite weak O-line play, injuries at WR and Fatty-Fatty Fat-Fat under-performing at RB, the Rodgers is capable of winning a game all by his lonesome. Minny has the best rushing attack in the league (147 yds. per game) and the 2nd best scoring D (17.1) Bridgewater is not being asked to win games and that is paying off with handoffs to AP and safe throws to Mr. Diggs.

SF @ Sea: This was a great game two, three years ago.

Honest question. If your OC now calls the offense, and the DC as feeble as he is calls the defense, what exactly does the head coach do? I’m not familiar with this setup.

Lothar of the Hill People

If he doesn’t have a headset on, he’s not doing jack shit.

Bortleback

Looks unhappy when the OC or DC fuck shit up (and also a load of big picture game management stuff that you’re unable to worry about when you’re balls deep in play selection, reading the personnel that the other team have on the field, trying to remember their tendencies and the plays you’ve already called etc etc etc)

Old School Zero

I’m glad this is the last week of the regular season, otherwise I’d have to watch the Chargers suck this bad for a whole bunch more games.

Sill Bimmons

Um…

King Hippo

As shitty as Aaron Rodgers has been, it’s amazing they will be up 13 fucking points

Sill Bimmons

If Buffalo never gave humanity anything but the Wing it would still be too much.

People who dip buffalo wings in ranch deserve to be summarily executed. Let’s get this holy war started.

King Hippo

AGREED

Senor Weaselo

People who dip buffalo wings at all deserve to be mocked. And then summarily executed.

Sill Bimmons

BLU CHEEZ OAR DETH

Sill Bimmons

You really shouldn’t dip your wings in anything.

The bleu cheese is there for the celery.

Senor Weaselo

I just don’t like bleu cheese or ranch. But I will allow this. The upper allowance in Scovilles of the wing to change this law is 16,000,001.

Lothar of the Hill People

Buffalo wings taste like barf. Take the least-meaty part of a chicken (other than its ass), coat it with a spicy-barf sauce, and call it “food”?

Count me out.

No. Fuck this and fuck you. It’s a perfect pairing.

Senor Weaselo

All for me? You shouldn’t have!

jjfozz

The Ranch Dippers must be identified, tracked down, dipped in barbecue sauce, and fed to packs of rabid hyenas.

The Maestro

I’LL SOCK U IN THE GOB M8 SWARE ON ME MUM

Sill Bimmons

Pro tip: order your wings dry with the buffalo sauce on the side so they stay crispy.

Those who play Fantasy Football, is it worth the pain and suffering?

Old School Zero

Nah.

Sharkbait

It’s a hell of a drug.

King Hippo

No, but I will never, ever stop

Gratliff

I started Derek Carr over Matt Ryan. Mistakes are made.

bourb0nblues

It will make you care about shit games that you previously had no interest in… so… yeah, why not.

blaxabbath

Nah. If you follow the NFL enough for other reasons, you do find in FF and it’s kinda enjoyable. But it is not a reason to follow football anymore than you’d otherwise be interested in.

Sill Bimmons

The pain and suffering are fleeting.

The humiliations last forever.

Each week this year I have said I am going to quit, but the camaraderie with my buddies from across the country keeps dragging me back in.

UGH

Holy shit. He’s been in the league since 2006 and only has 4000 yards passing. BEST JOB EVER.

Sill Bimmons

wow marmalard

Dear Joe Buck,

When you die your hair, you probably shouldn’t grow out a beard without dieing it as well.

John Difool

So both his hair and beard are dying?

Spanky Datass

And just think how deep he could get into that sweet, sweet Just For Men endorsement money!

A family with 3 small children all just had simultaneous meltdowns in this airport lounge. The parents look like they want to kill themselves. But hey they are going on vacation! Yeaaahhhhh!

Redshirt

This is why I refuse to go on roadtrips with the family. Either I have to fight the urge to open a door and jump out or, if I’m driving, I keep looking for a nice, sturdy tree to wrap the car around.

Sill Bimmons

Nothing in my life was more important than realizing that I hated children and didn’t want any.

litre_cola

I am there but Mrs Cola wants one all of a sudden.

Secretly get a vasectomy. We won’t think any less of you as a man.

That’s trouble.

It’s gonna be a choice between one or the other, believe me.

I think I’m going to tie yellow fabric around all my glasswear so every time I toss back a drink I’ll also be tossing a flag. HAIL BEERGH!

Does Fox actually write these shitty shows THEN go find the pop song that best matches up to the ‘plot’ or do they just sit around listening to the weekend Top 40 and go, “Hey! Here’s a song about cell phones. How about a show where a guy uses cell phones to solve murders!?”

Sill Bimmons
Doktor Zymm

‘you fuck my man and wreck my home I get my boy to rob your phone’

Thank you Mia for the fall lineup

King Hippo

Futility is picking Bradshaw out of a very shallow pool for desperation RB2, starting Funchess over Ebron (0.00) for your flex, and still getting trucked by your college drinking buddy who started the inactive Ryan Matthews.

Oh, hey. Flacco’s knee is toast. I missed a lot while carving “Gratliff was here” into a ceiling beam during the Eagles-Bucs game.

entropy

NOOOOOOO BROOKS!!!

bourb0nblues

That sequence in the movie gets me every fucking time.

Old School Zero

Rivers’ mustache makes it look like he might try to flee to Tijuana in the middle of the night.

Sill Bimmons

Who wouldn’t want to run away from 87 children?

Dunstan

Thanks for the assist. You’re the Odell Beckham to my Eli-like incompetence!

Old School Zero

I WANT ALL THE PHOTOSHOPS OF RIVERS’ MUSTACHE

IT’S ALMOST MORE HORRIFYING THAN BOLTMAN!

entropy

I thought the Chargers were moving to LA?

Doktor Zymm

I see the Chargers have signs up warning of zones with a high chance of encountering Boltman. Very reponsible of them.

Gratliff

So Pey Pey is done and Rivers is done and Brees is off and on. At what point does Dreamboat finally succumb to time?

fleshwound_NPG

When Suh commits a 58967958-yard roughing the passer penalty that gets him executed by The Rog at halftime

Dunstan

Oh, I think these days Roger would forgive it

John Difool

When it comes out Giselle slept with Charlie Sheen.

Bortleback

When the Bills, Jets or Lolphins sign Bernard Pollard you’ll know it’s on the way.

Senor Weaselo

I already pitched the screenplay, why is it not a thing yet?

King Hippo

Teddy successfully counted from A to green so he’s back in the game.

Senor Weaselo

Afternoon everyone. I see Bleergh has been summoned, hail Bleergh. Also that the Jets are in full Jets mode. Again.

bourb0nblues

ALL SHALL KNEEL BEFORE BLEERGH

Sill Bimmons

The Chargers are shockingly bad.

Old School Zero

Eh, I’ve been watching them all season. I am not shocked by this. I am, in fact, feeling like my analysis of the state of this team is being confirmed.

Sill Bimmons

Rivers licking his upper lip will haunt my dreams for eternity.

Holy shit, so many flags…….

Col. Duke LaCross

That was not even remotely catchable.

Doktor Zymm

Uncatchable pass interference?

Doktor Zymm

Panthers fan just came in. He apologized for the almighty beatdown his team put on my team. I said it was okay, I was expecting it and braced myself.

Old School Zero

That’s pretty classy for a fan of a one-loss team.

You spend all day huffing cleaning supply fumes, you come up with all teh good yuk-yuks

See, us Charlotteans are (usually) at least raised right.

King Hippo

Do we have time to commission a BLEERGH ornament or Christmas Tree/Hanukkah Bush angel?

Old School Zero

Just tie a bunch of yellow hankies on it and you’ll be spared.

Sill Bimmons

As a football god BLEERGH approves of this endorsement opportunity,

I work pretty quickly.

King Hippo

Also assuming many of us have pretty good sweatshop connections.

Holy shit. It’s not even two-hand touch at this point.

Supermarine Spitfire. Possibly the most beautiful machine ever designed and built by the hand of man:

One of the first models I ever built, along with the De Havilland Mosquito. An all-time classic.

nomonkeyfun

You gotta love a plane that was built out of wood that could outfly anything short of a jet.

The greatest prop driven combat plane of all time as I’m concerned. The only role it couldn’t perform brilliantly was heavy bomber.
It even carried more bombs than all two engined bombers of it’s time by a large margin.

CHI with no penalties today. GB with no flags.

Why does the North insist on angering BLERG?

Current yardage total in pass interference calls this year in the NFL:

King Hippo

No idea why everyone doesn’t try that play on 3rd and long.

Ah yes, the phantom O-Line offensive strategy! That oughta work!

Gratliff

Time for ESPN to bring back the Aaron Rodgers Sack Tracker.

Doktor Zymm

This bar is dead and the Seahawks are the only team to score a td so far in the late games. Tater tots or sweet potato waffle fries?

Tots!

Vikes scored one before Bridgewater died

Tots. Always tots.
