It’s Here! It’s Here! Your Very First DFO Playoff Game Open Thread

A cynic (myself) might say that this game doesn’t look very good but we’re in “PLAYOFF MODE” now. LOSER GOES HOME…JUST LIKE THE WINNER! Okay, I’m sure you know what I mean because we all type English here. We’ve endured some weird crap over the course of the season and now it’s win or you’re gone time.

KC @ HOU: Does anyone remember the 1-5 Chiefs? They were without not only hope but also J.C. and were looking at the likes of Spencer “Who?” Ware and Charcandrick “Huh?” West to right the ship running game-wise. And umm, WOW! they did it. That actually happened. The even more surprising occurrence was the transformation of QB Smith from a “Spaghetti-Armed Game Manager” into a “Spaghetti-Armed Slight Difference-Maker”! Wonders will simply not cease to exist no matter how much I want them to… This has to be HC Reid’s best coaching job, don’t you think? Speaking of thinking, methinks the only way for the Texans to get out of this with a win is for their two most dominant players to go nuts, right? If DE Watt collapses his side of the line on an on-going basis and WR Hopkins catches 12+ balls things have a chance of going Houston’s way. If either becomes a non-factor the odds of a W drop to very close to nil. DE Clowney was held out of practice, was in on Thursday and was out again on Friday. He and his willingness to play hard on every down are listed as questionable.

Wait. Seriously. “The slot”?

On jezebel?

Apparently, they’re not doing “phrasing” anymore.

Nobody remembers the Articles of Confederation, do they?

It never ceases to amaze me how many of these people were the same “if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear” crowd of the early 2000s.

...

This sort of proposal is funny, because it’s so obviously naked self-interest and not principle of any sort.

I recall very clearly in 2002 Rush Limbaugh on AFN, because ugh, saying we need to, “trust the government. They know what they’re doing.”

Is this the officiating crew that was ranked 4th somehow after blowing 2 Monday night games (Beckham catch and “giving himself up” and not noticing a clock ran in another game) or the 10th ranked that somehow got a pity game. I know it is one or the other.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Not being sarcastic, I just know I read it was one of the two and the other was mentioned in what I read so I forget

As a person born in Mexico, I’m somewhat ashamed of my addiction to Taco Bell. On the bright side, I’ve eaten shop much of it using the Taco Bell mobile app that I’ve got a $25 credit at the Taco Bell store.

needless to say, this beats my codeine idea if’n you can gets it.

How are short term loan places legal???? Just has a commercial up here for one where the APR is 187.9%, that is absolute robbery.

Doktor Zymm

There are usury laws some places, but they are poorly enforced and have tons of loopholes.

I think Arizona is the one where half the state’s legislature owns part of payday loan companies.

I secretly injected Hoyer with the MMR vaccine before the game. He’s autistic now.

Does he paint or sculpt?

That’s what happens when you put hormones in dairy.

1. Defensive struggle or q{ offensive nightmare?

I’ll let you decide.

But the answer’s q{

WCS

Andy Reid’s bold strategy of dominating the first half, only to completely piss the sheets in the fourth quarter is right on track.

litre_cola

Throws challenge flag.
/then calls timeout to dispute your logic

In the middle of moving stuff all day and taking a stop at the old neighborhood joint. Got a small pour of the dogfish head higher math. So tasty.

Hey, you know what would be great? If they could go 2 goddamn minutes without mentioning JJ Watt

JJ Watt would like you to know that this is a team sport, although JJ Watt is the best player on his team.

Lily seems like a fun girl til she got that ATT retail job

Yeah but now she’s riiiiich.

Finally, Vince Wilfork’s drram of a butter-soaked football is a reality

King Hippo

This totally has the potential to be the worst, competitive-on-the-scoreboard with no weather impact playoff game ever

entropy

I can’t to see he “first half possession result” graph. Returned kick, punt, INT, INT, fumble, INT, punt, missed FG, death on field….

Romonobyl

Evening all,
Every now and then life hands us decisions, very often with world-changing outcomes. Today is no exception. Should I watch this game on CBS or ESPN?

Doktor Zymm

Do you say Tomayto or Tomahto?

King Hippo

I have never met anyone that said the latter, but if I did, I would definitely murder them with a spork

ballsofsteelandfury

How is that possible?

litre_cola

Yeah, i thought it was 1 show only.

Romonobyl

It’s also being shown on ESPN, but it’s the exact same broadcast and announcers. TRICKERY!!

ballsofsteelandfury

Where are you?

On my couch.

Sound off with good music playing. Then it doesn’t mater

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I don’t have the option, but if it is both “A teams” I would lean ABC, much more fun to make fun of. Less hatred, more pity masked in mockery

Spur

You can take the QB out of Cleveland but you can’t take the Cleveland out of the QB.

Hi Boulder Colorado!

I’m flying above you at 36000 feet at 450 knots in a Delta 757! I’m not actually flying, a real pilot is, but I’m in a window seat!

Can you see me waving? That’s me waving! I’m comfortably hammered (feeling fine but still possess good manners). I’m going to ask if they’ll let me fly the plane for a bit! I hope they do, that would be swell!

/falls sound asleep

Doktor Zymm

You should try to get a pair of those honorary pilot wings they give to little kids!

ThePirateSloth

You ever been in a turkish prison?

Brick Meathook

They offered chicken or fish for lunch on this flight. I had the lasagna.

Sill Bimmons

Be prepared to help land the plane later.

Romonobyl

I haven’t seen that many knots since the last time Whoopie Goldberg had her hair did.

Who ordered the Thursday Night Football game?

Doktor Zymm

That’s what….like…the 15th, 16th turnover?

More that a grocery store bakery.

/I will show myself out.

I was looking forward to this game to see good D’s play each other. I didn’t expect both teams to start year 1 Kyle Orton at QB

My roommate says we’re all a little disturbed for having a crush on Lily, but she emphatically states the she saw Lily first and we all need to back the fuck off.

If they ever make a movie about Alfred Blue, I hope it’s titled “A Blue Film”

Playoff game is on and Disney music is playing on tv. I’m in hell.

Actually, now that you mention it, doesn’t JJ Watt kind of remind you of the super-vain Disney princes?

That deep down wants to be a pretty little princess

Damn you Frau Dok. You made me order Chinese. Shredded pork with Garlic sausce combo and Wonton Soup.

I guess they can’t rule unwatchable ball because that would apply to 95% of Hoyer’s passes.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Great minds think alike, have a gin and tonic on Mr. Cole.

King Hippo

This game DOES scream out for all teh gin

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That was supposed to be “uncatchable” but apparently my autocorrect thought I was talking about the game.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

The one he threw to Berry was catchable

Spur

That was uncatchable.

Also, not PI anyways

How is that any different from Hoyer’s other throws?
