Your First Of Many (Two?) Saturday Night NFL Games Open Thread

No see, it’s Thursday Night Football disguised as Other Night Football. It’s more special that way. Do you feel the specialness that’s being imposed upon you by the heads that are talking? No? I knew that you’re the sort of commentariat that wouldn’t fall for that sort of thing.

NYJ @ Dal: Here’s a sentence you don’t see very often, The Jets are clearly the better team in this game. Whoa. I don’t know what you did/are doing Todd Bowles but I do know there will be hell to pay in the next life. The record for TD’s in a season for Jets QB’s is 29-the Fitz is at 25. He’s washed almost all the Buffalo off him and is looking fine. He’s got to be the poster boy for the “that system just wasn’t right for him” Narrative. Either that or this season is a one-off and Houston doesn’t really deserve the 6th round pick that they’re getting for dumping him. This is hard to type-INJURED TONY ROMO IS THE LEAGUE MVP! The Cowboys have fallen from 7th in yds. per game to 29th. As far as points per game are concerned they’ve gone from 29.2 down to 17.7. Enjoy the game folks.

Why does commercial Peyton dress like he’s an English Lit professor?

Rob that motherfucker!

You stupid Cowboys.

Vinyl doesn’t look great.

Happy Appy scored 3 TDs in like 2 minutes.

Terrific execution all around, boys! That’s Jets football I know and–

I’m just gonna start calling old numbers for dealers Inused to know,mused if I can find something to shut off my brain. Jesus Christ.

King Hippo

You should never lose touch with your dealers ,, smgdh

entropy

I didn’t lose contact with *all* of them, man, I’m not an idiot.

Fuck off quigley

King Hippo

If the Jets lose to an NFC team, might change the tiebreaker calculus (assuming the Stillers or Chefs lose down the stretch, of course).

entropy

Jets are not looking great in the early going.

Gratliff

So the new The Muppets. I’ve watched 15 minutes of it and was shocked at how stupid it was. Who got fired for not realizing that the old Variety show format would have printed money?

If they incorporated it better, the old format could have melded with the late-night-show format. Like the better parts of Fallon.

Also, I think Muppets Tonight scared the suits off trying the unalloyed old format.

entropy

Woooooo extra point commercials kickoff commercials maybe some football? The NFL is so good to us.

Did Nantz just insinuate Pheeel is counterfeiting US currency?

His Right Honorable Lord Lordship the Lordly

Pheel was Zimbabwe’s finance minister, people forget that.

I have a $100 Trillion Zimbabwe Dollar bill. One of my favorite “quirky” acquisitions.

entropy

I understand what they’re trying to do in this Hyundai commercial with everyone singing along to the music bed jingle, but what the fuck is that song? Has any human being ever heard it before? And are we just supposed to believe multiple cars full of people are singing along to this shit?

John Difool

Yes, were supposed to believe that shit, but in a perfect world someone would’ve flown a C-135 over that traffic jam and dropped a Daisy Cutter on it.

entropy

Too much to hope for, really.

Gratliff

Dez Bryant giving up on the season in the middle of a play. Good call.

King Hippo

CasselVANIA be all like “Yeah, and you give ME shit. Motherfucker.”

King Hippo

Having a glass of kale/cucumber/zucchini/gala apple/lime juice (Hippo’s special homemade blend!) for dinner.

JUST TRY not to be all jelly. I FUCKING DARE YOU.

John Difool

In other words… you just drank a salad.

King Hippo

Yes, but WITHOUT any of the good dressing.

Though I have no idea how anyone could actually chew and swallow kale, it has to be juiced and blended to cover its essence up. Healthy, sure. But nasty. Limes be crucial, just like with alcohol.

entropy

I’m doing everything I can to hide my jealousy.

Smithchez

Oh no, the Jets slept with the Giants and contracted their inability to cover Jason Witten

Croooow

A kicker jersey? Really?

King Hippo

Golfers, man.

King Hippo

Godfuckingdamnit I love Thursday Night Footbaw when it defies the law of space and time.

entropy

As someone who doesn’t really watch or follow college foobaw, I’m excited to be watching footy that makes sense to me on a Saturday.

How the fuck you doin’ boys?

My brain is having severe difficulty accepting a meaningful Jet game in December.

entropy

it’s been a few years, right?

King Hippo

It’s only meaningful if Denver can beat the Stillers for ya tomorrow.

entropy

That will help, true, but the Jets still need the wins in their own right. It would be nice, if just once, the goddamn Jets could make the playoffs outright without all the “help” required from other teams.

King Hippo

The world owes you all the good Karma if’n you beat the Cheatriots next week, that’s for sure.

Smithchez

While likely, that’s not entirely true if Denver experiences the aBrocaklypse or AJ McCarron turns out to be AJ McCarron. Plenty of room for bed shitting all around.

laserguru

My gambling brain told me to parlay the Jets and the under.
There may or may not be real money on this bet.

There is.

King Hippo

CasselVANIA will steal YOUR SOUL!!

/or maybe just your money

Spanky Datass

Picked up a sixer of Lagunitas Sucks; couldn’t find Brown Shugga. Tasty!

laserguru

That is truly a tasty beverage.

That thing Bill Cowher does with his hand when he talks, dancing it across the desk….. it reminds me of this.

How bad are the Ice Stillers? They are losing at home to the Ice Skyhawks.

Spanky Datass

Ice Cowboys up 1 -0 on the Ice Alouettes at the first break.

Anyway, I’m off for a bit. We have Italian family who are currently stateside. From Italy.

Enjoy!
Have fun!

Beers and bowls and Killing Joke.
I’m good with that.

They have a brand new album and are touring in January.
Oh hell yes.

King Hippo

I would like to think Mizzou for sucking as much at university hoops as it does at race relations, and allowing a Hippo to enter this RiveBrog in a rare good mood.

Senor Weaselo

Deion Sanders could probably be the defensive leader for the Cowboys tonight.

King Hippo

Especially if somebody told him there was coke in the end zone.

Spanky Datass

After Cassel’s second loss I mentioned to friends that the Dallas D/ST was going to explode on some opponent with like five take-aways, a pair of TDs and a punt/kick return TD.
Still waiting…

And I was inspired by Turkey, the land of turkey. Although not really.

Doktor Zymm

I’m currently visiting the parents and going out to eat various meals with miscellaneous friends from back home. I will be watching bits of this game while consuming Ethiopian food, despite the fact that I still haven’t fully digested my all-you-can-eat-and-drink tapas brunch, and the early dinner culminating with lemon tarts that I had with my folks. This sort of thing is why so many people end up with weight loss resolutions. I might just nibble on some injera and order a glass of wine.

entropy

Calories consumed between Thanksgiving and January 2nd don’t count. I thought everyone knew this.

ballsofsteelandfury

You can’t just nibble on injera. I mean, with all the deliciious goodness that you can use it to ingest?

I say Fuck it, eat away, and work out after.

blordinaryfagicmox

Xena is a series that is nearly indistinguishable from its porn parodies,

Senor Weaselo

Are we all here now?

Mila’s in the crapper, but yeah.

Present!

And accounted for.
Here Sir!

Gratliff

Is this where we talk about Star Wars?

King Hippo

I think there should be separate thread, in case of spoilers.

King Hippo

I mean, it won;t bother ME was just thinking out loud.

ballsofsteelandfury

Should I create one?

King Hippo

SURE!

ballsofsteelandfury

OK, I’ll publish it now.

Today’s burger had Applewood smoked bacon, sunny side up egg, swiss cheese, sautéed mushrooms and fried onion strings.
Dear lord that was fucking tasty.

ballsofsteelandfury

Did you have the alcoholic milkshake?

laserguru

Nope. I can’t drink a shake with a burger. Too damn heavy.
I did have a couple of 20 oz Blue House IPAs from my boys down the street.

If Jets run the table but don’t make the playoffs, I will flip a fucking shit.

entropy

I keep waiting for them to shit the bed, and then get reminded that even if they DON’T fuck up, and win out, they could still miss the playoffs. This is awful.

His Right Honorable Lord Lordship the Lordly

I will really flip a shit if they handle the Greatriots and still don’t make it.

King Hippo

I thought they won the tiebreakers over the Stillers??

His Right Honorable Lord Lordship the Lordly

No, if KC, PIT and Jets win out KC and Pit are in.

King Hippo

That would suck a bowl of monkey peckers, fer sure.

Denver also would lose any and all tiebreakers for division and wild card at 11-5, so the whole season depends on beating the Bungles.

entropy

I’m already pissed just thinking about it. I really don’t like how any of this is playing out.

That is way funnier than it should be.

“The Jets are clearly the better team in this game. ”

You cut so deep, Scotchy. This one’s gonna hurt if they lose.

Senor Weaselo

Kiss of death? Probably. Should we start drinking? Yes.

entropy

I had no idea I wasn’t supposed to start already. You may join me at any time, however.

ballsofsteelandfury

The fact that not having Romo has affected the Cowboys so drastically makes the Cowboys a very sad team to root for.

entropy

You can join me in rooting for the Jets tonight. I won’t mind. Plenty of room on this bandwagon.

ballsofsteelandfury

As a Steelers fan, I will watch with curious interest to see if the Jets are for real.
