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.

When Jim Nantz said “Rush Chart”* I thought he was talking about Mark Sanchez’s “scorecard” for orientation week at Villanova.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

*I assume he said that; I turned the sound off a long time ago.

entropy

Davis was not fooled for a second.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

I assume the NFL has directed that announcers are not to call it a “pick” unless a flag is already thrown?

ballsofsteelandfury

Pretty much

jjfozz

I become super belligerent.

Huzzah…

Smithchez

Holy shit, a well designed Chan play?! Smoke ’em if you got ’em boys, it’s the endtimes.

entropy

blind squirrel finding a nut, sunshine on a dog’s ass, well designed Chan Gailey play: all things that happen occasionally, but still pretty rare.

entropy

Holy shit. They didn’t fuck it up.

Also, DECKERDOWN!!

King Hippo

Pheeel, in all seriousness (paraphrased): “you can’t let the fact that your kicker sucks affect your playcalling.”

jjfozz

Smithchez

Can’t wait to see how they fuck this up.

entropy

Chan, we need 19 yards. What would you like to do?

“Screen pass. Then run up the middle.”

Sill Bimmons

WING-T

King Hippo

It’s not like they could miss a FG from this range or anything…

Horatio Cornblower

This game will manage to screw the Jets’ play-off hopes and the Cowboys’ draft.

ballsofsteelandfury

Timely penalty

Smithchez

There’s the drive killer. Came a few plays too late but it’s like Old Faithful

Sill Bimmons

Prophecy.

Horatio Cornblower

Bingo

jjfozz

Why don’t you jst go back to doing that football thing you do?

gents, we are in lots of bourble with the wife.

Horatio Cornblower

What’s this “we” shit kemo sabe?

jjfozz

because if i’m gonna have phantom friend on the intenets, then you guys are going down with me, like in real life when my fiends get me wasted and leaem eme on the doorstep

ballsofsteelandfury

I’m with you Fozzie. Tell mrs. Fozz I’ll apologize on your behalf.

entropy

Uh oh. Gin tends to do that.

King Hippo

Gin makes you sin!

ballsofsteelandfury

Oops!

Sill Bimmons

“Bourble” is just a contraction of “bourbon trouble.”

entropy

I am so using that.

a promising drive, how will Chan stall it?

entropy

I was just going to say something like that, only with more profanity.

Sill Bimmons

Why would you need a bathroom if you were in a restaurant with a glass of water in front of you?

And what kind of restaurant doesn’t also have a bathroom?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Just saw some of her other pics, but can’t remember the name, what a beauty.

Bugg

The Lincoln MKZ will give you straight flushes.

Horatio Cornblower

I got a straight flush once.

Everyone folded to a $10 raise.

jjfozz

MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY IS WEIRD AND ECCENTRIC BUT STILL FUCKING CUDDLY!

entropy

Jazz music makes me instantly dislike whatever is on the screen.

Spur

Football is dumb, am going to play some Heroes of the Storm, Go Murky!

Sill Bimmons

christ these fucking ads

entropy

I really don’t know why I’m this angry. Should have expected the Jets to fuck this up.

ballsofsteelandfury

It’s not over. There are plenty of fuckups left for both sides.

Spur

Your Grandma was hot

This game is my own little personal hell.

Gratliff

Just about every one of those is in a pileup 3 seconds after that commercial ends.

Spur
Horatio Cornblower

That face says “13 year old on a mil carton” but those hands say “Selena: Queen of the Damned”

And both of them combine with the mouth to tell me none of them will go out with me.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Probably taken in the late 70s; try again, maybe there’s a chance.

Horatio Cornblower

Well that explains it; no one wants to date a 9 year old.

Smithchez

Unfathomable that a team would try something other than a run straight up the middle on 3rd and short.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

This game isn’t as bad as the score would have you think; there have actually been TWO touchdowns scored.

Spur

50 days away from another NY Giants / NE Patriots Super Bowl.

Horatio Cornblower

Phil has no idea who’s going to be in the Super Bowl because Phil has no idea what’s going on in the NFL this season.

litre_cola

Are these two going to make love?

Where’s Buddy?

Smithchez

Nantz always seems upset when the Jets run a successful play. Is that just me being a homer?

entropy

He was downright gleeful after the missed FG.

ballsofsteelandfury

Remember he’s a Pats fan.

Horatio Cornblower

Eh, I think Nantz just sounds like the kind of smug asshole everyone likes to think hates their team. Joke’s on you though, Jim hates everyone.

Spur

Why the hell would anyone buy a Lexus IS F over an M3 or Audi S4?! Fuck outta here Toyota.

Horatio Cornblower

Uh, I’m gonna need a level or a plumb line here…

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Here you go,

Dates or walnuts?

I used to travel to Tucson for work a lot, and when the rodeo came to town, it was bigger than the god damn Super Bowl. Our call center would have like 40% absentee rates during the week of the rodeo. Really weird how popular that shit is out there.

ballsofsteelandfury

I used to live around those parts. The love is strong.

litre_cola

I am from Calgary, Stampede shuts this place down. Everyone is so blasted for 10 days that it is assumed your office is closed that week.

entropy

We have an 11 day festival here in Bethlehem that really should shut the whole town down (this town can DRINK), but somehow people find a way to work.

litre_cola

Its honestly a city wide booze and rodeo vacation. Its wild. That and when the Ice Stampeders make the playoffs is nuts. I am not an Ice Stampeders fan but the party is crazy.

Sill Bimmons

I can’t think of a place I’d less rather be than “Billy Bob’s Honky Tonk.”

Horatio Cornblower

Jones BBQ & Foot Massage?

Sill Bimmons

I gotta think that Jerry knows good barbecue and foot masseuses.

entropy

“Gus’s Entrail Reading Emporium?”

Sill Bimmons

Not my entrails!

Gratliff

I was down in Novi, MI the other day, and found a Wendy’s that has a fireplace, real coffee cups, and all-day Breakfast. I am still unsure what to make of that.

ballsofsteelandfury

Twilight Zone episode?

The nexus of the universe.

ballsofsteelandfury

The one in the back. All day.

ballsofsteelandfury

Btw, I’m wearing a Jets green Pecan Lodge t-shirt tonight. Which will win out?

Sill Bimmons

Beer for idiots by beer for idiots.

Smithchez

I’m really looking forward to Antonio Cromartie running another kick out of the endzone only to get tackled at the 12.

entropy

You’re being kind. I see him falling down at the 9 this time out.

His Right Honorable Lord Lordship the Lordly

I’m more pissed at the likely 40 yard play that should have been only a 4 yard gain to a horribly botched tackle.

Horatio Cornblower

That’s like a yard for each kid right?
