Your “What Night Is It Anyway?” NFC East Fiasco Open Thread

Was @ Phi: Over their last eight games the Eagles are doing the lousiness on D to an extent that is only surpassed by the Saints (of course). On t’udder side of the field Cousins is grasping for the Slurs QB throne with a 70% plus completion rating over the same period. Trouble is, them Washington folks have trouble winning when they have to take a stagecoach to a game. Folks, this is the NFC East’s homage to The Good, The Bad And The Ugly, all wrapped up in one debacle. Enjoy.

Oddly enough, the hallways in my high school were denoted by letters. There actually was a D-Hall. It’s where the computer lab and tech shop were.

“Do we have a white running back?”

Demarco More like DERPmarco Murray, amirite?

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

So as an addendum to that story, Giants and Jets games banned beer at night games a for a while and there was a scholarly article written in the 1989 Journal of Sports and Social Issues on the Great Pumpkin game as a case study of sports fan behavior.

Good times.

The guy the genius coach signed to a big deal. Paying dividends again eh Chip?

Raise your hand if you enjoyed the shot of “sad and shocked” Eagles fan.

**raises hand**

DeMarco Murray questions why he doesn’t get a lot of handoffs. Now he knows.

entropy

But… But that was a lateral.

Season’s over.

I suspect the Rosasea affected dermatoids may win this game.

You’re in my brain again.

Sweet, beautiful derp.

Oh that is hilarious.

A little too much PED on his pizza

Someone told him HGH was just like overclocking a CPU, so he didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

King Hippo

Well, that ends any thought of a potential playoff equine QB controversy. PeyPey smh

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

If true it shows how desperate he was to recover. Sounds like it is from one source and the guy’s name is “Sly”? Needs a lot of corroboration.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

BOTH of these teams are “special”!

Spanky Datass

So much short bus; Far too much time.

Doktor Zymm

Any notable derp so far this half? My groceries arrived, so I’ve been putting things in places for the last 15 minutes.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Buddy Cole Giants Stadium memories:

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198810170nyj.htm
October 17, 1988, anyone who was there will never forget the Great Pumpkin Game (it needs an oral history article on its’ 30 anniversary). My two uncles were at this Monday Night affair, and can still remember the mayhem as if it were yesterday.

So this was Mark Gastineau’s last game as a Jet as he retired midseason to take care of Brigitte Nielsen… and the Bills go up 31-7 at halftime. Then it got nasty.

Video of this game will show a blowup doll designed to look like Nielsen being passed throughout the stadium, and a gigantic pumpkin. When the latter was confiscated in the third quarter, the masses chanted “We want the pumpkin! We want the pumpkin!” and the outnumbered security guards gave it back to them. Little fires were set all around the stadium and a smoke bomb went off in the upper deck. My uncles said people were lighting promotional hats on fire and just tossing them wherever.

As they were going down to get to the car, they saw numerous dumpsters set on fire in the parking lot and a group of five teenagers running around and beating the shit out of anyone they could get their hands on, so they sprinted like hell and got out of there.

This is just awesome.

Ah the old NFL was so great

That’s an awesome story!

Damn. I feel insufficient as an NFL fan.

Remedial offense game?

I am a pen & ink guy. I absolutely LOVE this style of art. Great fucking picture.

20 minutes to go. Let’s see some prevent defense!

At least I have hockey tomorrow. The Flyers have only been a huge disappoint for half the season so far!

For those that know a touch of art history combined with shitty TV:

Brilliant!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Beautiful.

So everyone on this highway is having a heart attack?

King Hippo

The guy who took a knee and ran out the half on the opponent’s 5 yard line is going to clinch the division title tonight.

Senor Weaselo

PARITY!

King Hippo

Also, MAINSTREAMING!

Recovery Whiskey

Besting the crosseyed QB traded for by his QB coach genius with the unbeatable offense.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Boo! Watching Cousins fail is funnier.

Insurmountable lead?

Seeing the light of hope go out of Eagles fans’ eyes is like Christmas all over again.

blordinaryfagicmox

In case anyone was wondering, I had to replace my Dalton-Eifert dominant duo with Cousins-Reed, and it’s worked out pretty good. The last time I started Kirk Cousins he had 0 interceptions, but that was only because the integer variable rolled over.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
entropy

Damn that was a nice catch

Gratliff

Eagles have dropped like 4 picks and 6 sure TDs this game.

Gratliff

third down, pass short of the sticks, drink

entropy

Shit we were waiting for a reason?!

Doktor Zymm

Maybe….maybe Andy Reid was really good at challenges, years ago. Maybe, it’s being coach of the Eagles that makes people shitty at challenges!

entropy

Penalty, reaching, fifteen yards.

Senor Weaselo

Lovie challenges this.

Cooper seems to have engaged a black man in some sort of conflict and come out the worse for wear.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Buddy Cole’s Family tales:

I am, in a twist of confusion, not from Toronto but northern New Jersey. My uncle has had Jets season tickets since they moved to Giants Stadium in 1984, and my Giants fan father sometimes would get cajoled into seeing games because, eh, football.

The seats in the old place were in Section 333, somewhat like the Eagles 700 Level. I went to about 9 games from ages 7-9 during the Parcells era. Highlights of those years:
* Drunks twisting mustard packs so tightly they would explode on contact when thrown at people in the lower levels.
* There was a dude in the section named Muehlgay, who printed out sticker nameplates that everyone with the late 90s shitty jersey du jour would put over (namely Glenn Foley and Neil O’Donnell)
* The head honcho of the section was a guy named Rat King, who in addition to being Ozzy Osbourne’s limo driver, presided of Section 333 anarchy.

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals.

Pretty enjoyable book:

That whole series is pretty good!

That….actually sounds pretty fun. I kinda want to try that mustard packet thing.

Carey says it’s incomplete. That’s a completed pass, Eagles gain 42.

As per usual, call on the field rules the day,
Video is 70% useless.
