AP’s “More NFC East Action Than You Can Shake A Stick At!” Open Thread

Dal @ Was: Thursday and Sunday featured wondrous Hail Mary’s, brain-shattering upsets, fingernail-biting excitement, win-streak-extending blow-outs, a clearly inferior team beating the Giants in overtime and some other things. If you want more of that this evening, boy/girl, did you ever come to the wrong place! Quite frankly, I question your judgement. The Slurs are 5-1 at home because they get a lot of support from their obviously racist fan base. It’s called math-look it up. That being said, if the Slurs can contain the running game that would mean that a certain washed-up, turnover-prone, in-over-his-head, doesn’t-know-what-he’s-doing, never-will-be-a-starter-again, stares-at-his-first-option, win-less-at-this-point, will-fumble-at-some-point, dump-pass-loving Matt Cassell will have to be a difference-maker.

If the NFC East has a sub 500 winner I wonder if we’ll get the wall of punditry screaming how unfair it is and how we must nullify the winner and overhaul the playoffs

All the stuff they were saying in 2010 when Seattle did it.

Doktor Zymm

I don’t know, Seattle winning that game might make them a bit less vocal this time around.

Redshirt

But I want a 5-11 division champion to win four straight games so the NFL Champion would have a losing record.

hippofant

Who/What is this?

Romonobyl

I was pissed that I had to work the night ‘murica’s took the MNF stage. I just checked the score, never been so glad to be stuck at work before.
Do miss snarking with youse guys though, just too hard over the phone. Enjoy the mediocrity!

King Hippo

This game could only fucking DREAM of being mediocre

Sill Bimmons

Cheers brah.

Doktor Zymm

I actually haven’t said “FUCK DALLAS” once yet, unless you count this comment!

WHY ARENT YOU MOSTLY LIKE MINDED PEOPLE TOTALLY INFURIATED BY THE INFINITE FAILURE OF GEORGE LUCAS TO CREATE ANYTHING WATCHABLE WITHOUT SEVENTEEN LAYERS OF EDITING TO GET HIM THROUGH HIS INCONCEIVABLE IDIOCIES SUCH AS LUKE WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A ROBOT HEAD, HAN SOLO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SOME KIND OF LIZARD AND C-3PO WAS SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE A LONG ISLAND USED CAR SALESMAN IN ADDITION TO THE MAN HAVING NOTHING TO DO WITH THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK AND WHOSE ONLY CONTRIBUTION TO RETURN OF THE JEDI WAS THE FUCKING EWOKS BJKEHFBVJHSEFBVEFIVSDFVWECIEDHCV

SEE I CAN DO IT TOO!!!!

Lothar of the Hill People

Is it possible someone could win the NFC East with a 6-10 record? Or will there have to be a tie to get a 6-win NFC East champ?

Lothar of the Hill People

Yeah, I just went through and figured it out myself. As it turns out, depending on the outcome of tonight’s game, it could be impossible for the NFC East champ to finish better than 8-8.

Doktor Zymm

It’s theoretically possible to have a 4 way tie at 7-9 with all the division games split.

Sill Bimmons

It can happen, and it will happen.

I’m also thirsty.

So what Gruden likes about the [*Redacted] s offense is their inexperience?

All the customers in my bar are saying the ending of Philadelphia was more uplifting than this drivel!

Not an interception, but they aren’t going to let Cassel throw it ever, so close enough to post this :

Wait, it’s halftime and the game is tied at 3-3?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

Bet both coaches are in the lockerroom saying, “Seriously, does one of us really have to win the game?

Doktor Zymm

“Yes”

It’s kind of a miracle it’s this high scoring. Neither team was anywhere close to another scoring drive.

Sill Bimmons

I’m losing my patience with you people.

Of all the billionaires doing all of the evil shit they do only one has ruined everything simple, wondrous and magical that children of the 70s hold dear.

Lothar of the Hill People

I’m with you, Sill. That dude shit on my childhood. I can almost tolerate the Star Wars prequel abominations, but shitting all over Indy really did it for me.

The only good thing I can say that came out of the prequels was that Lucas finally gave up and sold off the franchise to someone who won’t use my childhood as toilet paper.

Old School Zero

Is this game as bad as the radio makes it sound?

Even Jim Gray and Mike Holmgren couldn’t talk positively about it during the halftime break.

Sill Bimmons

It’s worse.

It has to be worse.

Lothar of the Hill People

Just got done giving my evening class’s final.

Looking through the exams, I’m concerned. I re-wrote a question about the Monroe Doctrine (“The Monroe Doctrine…”), and because I ran out of answer options, I made option D: “Was named after James Monroe, the most badass President of all time, because he could squat 400 lbs.” I might’ve been drunk when I wrote that.

One of my students actually selected this answer as correct. He’s a kid who couldn’t afford to miss points being funny.

Recovery Whiskey

Nobody fails classes any more, right?

Lothar of the Hill People

The guy who threatened to kill me will fail, yes.

Along with 1/4 of the rest of my students.

First guy to turn in his test barely beat random chance on the multiple-choice section: he got 14 right out of 50.

Those aren’t opiates, they’re cannabinoids.

New rule: If a division champion is under .500, they are replaced by either #5 or #6 team in the NCAA Playoffs Rankings (#5 and #6 have a play-in game).

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

I remember reading the hypothetical “What if the worst NFL team played the best college team?” argument, and they came to the conclusion that the college team would get the shit kicked out of them almost every time.

King Hippo

Pretty sure this is true, as long as you delete “almost”

JustStopDude

Fucking Trivial night ended with five questions, worth five points each, consisting of 9 letter scramble, made into words….

Basically the bartender told me that I was winning too many trivial nights and they knew I was dyslexic. Fucking bullshit…I should sue under the Americans with Disability Act!!!

Resident Evils I MEAN LAWYERS?

JustStopDude

I went from 19 points in the lead to coming in forth…

BULLSHIT!!!

How would being dyslexic help in Scrabble. It makes you see the words right or something?

JustStopDude

No they picked something they knew I would fail at because the fucking ignorant hipsters were pissed that they kept failing!

I really regret the decision to leave Xenoblade Chronicles X unplayed tonight.

Horatio Cornblower

Well that 30 minutes of 3-3 football wasn’t a total waste of time. See you bitches later, it’s ‘Fargo’ time.

If I were in Detroit and had the option of ‘Faygo’ time I would probably stick with this game.

So these are the games we swore we’d miss in July

July really is such a terrible fucking month

The only month worse than July is August.

There is at least pre-season methadone and training camp reports. But not much better.

On the plus side, 11 minutes to ‘Fargo’

Nah.

My 8 yr old and I played the beta, he loved it. I read the reviews and decided against it. He’s not invested in the story line, just likes blowing shit up.

That’ll work!

My friends want me to get it, but I’m stalling because I just hated the beta. Its gameplay was poor.

I don’t play, I just watch.

So, are you excited for the new one?!

Yes.

The first Star Trek reboot was JJ Abrams’ Star Wars audition reel.

That was good enough to make me want to see what he’s done with the source material.

That was a typo, they MEANT 43.5 total yards of offense.

Or 43.5 penalties.

That is good.

Wait, it’s 3-0? I literally forgot that someone had scored. My recollection of this game is just a blur of incompetence.

Doktor Zymm

This is a kickass soundtrack, and way more fun to watch than this game so far, but damn. A good 80% of these plays would be flagged in today’s NFL, mostly illegal hits, but some excessive celebration too.
