Mid-Afternoon Week 15 Five Spot Game Thread

Stupid window crashed on me and I am typing this for a second time. Like it was even very good the first time, for fuck’s sake.

Browns at Seahawks (4:05, Fox)

Better late than never? I suppose the SeaTruthers can take up that rallying cry, after a rash of RB injuries and meh defensive work forced them to reluctantly become a passing team. And, much like at every other non-bedroom step in his prolific career, the Charmslinger has been up to the task. I have nothing new to say about the clownshow that is The Factory. Like my dead pappy used to say, “it is what it is.”

Packers at Raiders (4:05, Fox)

One franchise on its way up, the other on its way down (though Rodgers remains exceptional). A pretty fascinating matchup, I wish this had been flexed to SNF instead of the silly Bird Battle. Great shootout potential, too.

Broncos at Steelers (4:25, CBS)

Today’s featured fixture, for certain, with immense implications for the playoff race (even at 11 wins, there will be one chair too few for the Jets, Chefs, Stillers, and Donks) and for homefield. Denver absolutely has to win this week or next (home vs. Cincy) or they are royally fucked, as would then lose any and all tiebreakers. I have a really bad feeling about this one, as The Ben looks like he has been promised all the Choco Tacos he can eat of late.

Bengals at 49ers (4:25, CBS)

Don’t forget to ask about Tomsula’s sign spinning discounts! Speaking of spinners…wonder if we will see screenshots of AJ McCarron’s bae? You know Brent Musberger will be watching.

Dolphins at Chargers (4:25, CBS)

Probably will be on constant loop at Gitmo all week. DO SOMETHING, AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL!!

Reclusive, vulgar Broncos fan. Also a proud fookin' Evertonian. Likely dropped on my head repeatedly as a small child. [Insert George Carlin quote followed by thoughtful nod.]

Blast Hardcheese!

Romonobyl

Finally finished watching the GOP candidates debate. Chris Christie wants to close the borders and build a wall. That’s probably to prevent everyone from fleeing to Canada in case he gets elected.

Recovery Whiskey

Fight the terrorists by closing the Ft. Lee bridge

litre_cola

Isn’t any jobs here either right now, we do have a dreamy prime minister though.

...

Facebook’s newsfeed is becoming trollier and trollier. Today, it offered up a post about Trump that included a PFTCommenter-style reply saying that America needs a successful businessman as president because the federal government is clearly a business and that Trump is that guy. In fact, his bankruptcies were “brilliant” moves to stick it to Atlantic City and the unions.

That’s right, his idea of a good president is a man whose “brilliant” business strategy when applied to the government would crater the world’s economy.

Sill Bimmons

THE BEN might suck at life but he’s pretty good at the footballing.

Romonobyl

How many Kid Rock songs do you think he has on his iTunes?

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I am rooting against the Packers, but WTF was that call, within 5 yards both teams (WR/CB) are allowed hit each other unless I am remembering the rule wrong. The only exception I knew of is the pick rule

litre_cola

Are the Dolphin sideline staff wearing blue or is my tv fucked?

Romonobyl

Let’s do a test. Do you see anything wrong with this picture?

All right, which one of you tweeted this?

litre_cola

Probably one of our lurkers.

Denver’s really going to blow a 27 – 10 lead aren’t they

Sill Bimmons

goddammit

makeitsnowondem

Jesus, he just said “Icewaller” again.

Senor Weaselo

“Max speed of 22…”

-1 for no units, so I’m going to assume 22 m/s.

Sill Bimmons

MPH

20 m/s would be the 100 meters in 5 seconds.

...

The ghost of Al Davis just came.

Senor Weaselo

I know Sill, but I wanted to be a units stickler. If they’re going to use “next-gen stats,” they need to show their work!

Sill Bimmons

I’m nothing if not in total favor of units sticklerism.

Romonobyl

parsecs?

blordinaryfagicmox

22 radians per s

blordinaryfagicmox

Tell me more about Brock Icewaller, Phil.

“Thank you Phil I was very thirsty.”

The problem I have with that Cardinals fence commercial is the lawn is way too green to be in Arizona.

...

The trees don’t belong either, but BUY OFFICIALLY LICENSED NFL MERCHANDISE.

There are some green lawns here. That house and green lawn, however, would be in about one one of three neighborhoods in central Phoenix. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a nice white picket fence here.

Also, the background in the parking lot (not the stadium, but behind the two friends) is not accurate as Fake College Stadium is in a mall-esque parking lot in the farm fields of Glendale.

Funny – I just that that was the regional version of the commercial and everyone got it broadcast in their home market with their area team.

ThursdaySkyGoddess

The 49ers still exist.

blaxabbath

They will always exist. They are the ultimate America team: a huge corporation that brought from the dregs to the top of their industry under the leadership of a strong manager. But when that manager has one underwhelming year, the top brass gets rid of him because he won’t jerk them off. So they put a yes man in charge of the team and, even though they suck ass, at least the new coach recognizes how important ownership is and everyone at the top continues to make their millions.

Sill Bimmons

Now they need another 3 and out.

WCS

So here comes a 14-play, 80-yard touchdown drive that will use 8:34.

Did Crabtree get injured? I haven’t seen him all day. I only ask for fantasy football reasons

He’s nothing but mammal, doing like they do on discovery channel.

I haven’t seen a Malik blow up this much shit since 24 was on the air.

I bet Russell Wilson fills his swimming pool with recovery water.

You can’t drown in it. #Nanobubbles

Macklemore confirmed it

I, for one, hope he Mackels less.

BOSS TODD has the Ratt box set.

Shogun Marcus

You’re in love? Body talk? Dance? Lay it down!

Sill Bimmons

My sister had a Ratt poster and went to see Ratt/Cinderella at the Wildwood Convention Center.

Y’all just been out-Jerseyed.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

GB/Oak is turning out to be a good game. Sorry that most people are missing it.

Romonobyl

My cable has only 576 channels, so…

The CBS holiday graphics look like they were stolen from a small village in Minecraft.

Yes. Yes they are.

Mom and Pop Stafford.

Fatties find love. And cake. That’ll be money dollars CBS.

Chuck Lorre pitches consist entirely of “Some of the characters are X”, where X can be gay, fat, nerds, manwhores etc.

And then he says money dollars please, and they give them to him! Every. Time.

Kubiak’s decided it’s time to go conservative, so congrats on the win, Steelers.

WCS

BOSS TODD will have something to say about that.

Romonobyl

He’s too busy putting the lift kit in the back of his IROC.

Dips entire can of Kodiak while simultaneously smoking two packs of Marlboros….

3rd and 20, so here comes a 48-yard completion.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

For troops appreciation they picked the hottest woman they could find to give a message so people would pay attention. I mean it worked but it seemed dirty.
