Your [gets down on knees] “Please Chiefs, Just This Once!” Playoff Game Open Thread

Reporter: “The stakes are pretty high here, aren’t they?”

Coach Reid: [rolls eyes] “Of course they are-three quarters of an inch at the very least!. [enters trance, talks in monotone] And the twice-baked potato must have bacon in it. The salad must have bacon. The roasted asparagus must have bacon. [emerges from reverie] Mmmmm. Uh, next question?”

Oh, there’s a game with Reid coaching and you thought you might get through the intro without a food reference? Really? Okay, Gronk is questionable. Pats fans shout in unison, THE ONLY THING QUESTIONABLE IS YOUR DESIRE! ALL HAIL SAT-, WE MEAN BELICHICK. APOLOGIES, WE MAKE THAT MISTAKE MORE OFTEN THAN WE’D LIKE TO ADMIT. I’m sure that Gronk’s new “personal assistant” is going to whip him up some sort of special milkshake with extra warthog ovaries that will enable him to play. How important is it for Brady that his fave TE plays? His QBR rating drops from 80 down to 31 without him. The Chiefs front can and must get pressure on the Pats QB-Brady’s O-line has given up 38(!) sacks this year. Speaking of questionable, WR Maclin and his high ankle sprain made the trip but he’s iffy-there’s only so much warthog parts to go around. He and TE Kelce combined for 49% of all pass targets this year. Yet Another Injury Note: WR Antonio Brown has been ruled out of this game as well as tomorrow’s tilt against Denver. KC’s O looks to be on QB Smith’s shoulders but he seems to up to the task. Since the winning streak started he’s passing downfield a bit more, has rushed for more first downs than RB West and six out of ten times his QB rating has been above 100. Perhaps this weird Chiefs mojo will continue-wouldn’t that be great?

WAS THAT A FOOTBALL MOVE?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I like how the NFL is slowly coming around to “if he’s injured, maybe it isn’t a catch”

ThePirateSloth

If it’s a catch initially, then how is it clearly an incomplete catch Dan Fouts?

Spanky Datass

Can’t spell CTE without D.A.N! … no, wait…

The Maestro

BOOOOOOOOOM

King Hippo

This game is so goddamned boring I can hardly stand it. Thank Jeebus for narcotic cough syrup.

/Jamarcus’d

theeWeeBabySeamus

Opiates are teh bestest.
(sigh)

Smithchez

That’s right, Chiefs. Show no sense of urgency. Walk slowly up to the line and waste 30 seconds between plays.

Kungjitsu

American Ultra was pretty good.

Sill Bimmons

Never saw it.

indieguy

My biggest problem with the pats isn’t the insufferable fan base the cheating or the bitchy tommy boy. It’s that they’re boring. Like they play as though winning is a forgone conclusion theirs no excitement when they play. No ‘anything can happen’ feelings.

Horatio Cornblower

To be fair them winning often is a foregone conclusion.

Like this game since last quarter for instance.

Doktor Zymm

And yet, their fan base is always nervous about them imploding.

...

It’s a weird projection from their Red Sox fandom.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

And the Patriots sucking for a few decades…

WCS

Batman vs. Superman is going to be Ishtar bad.

The Maestro

Jesse Eisenberg is unwatchable. And the hair is even worse.

Kungjitsu

Star Wars was good. Deadpool is going to be the greatest thing ever filmed. And Batman vs. Superman is going to be not Christian Bale as Batman and English dude who can’t quite get the accent right in a dark and moody downer of a movie.

Moonbatting Average

That Coen Brothers trailer was the best part of this game

Sill Bimmons

WHY ISN’T SCARJO THE TOP TALENT ATTRACTION FOR THAT FILM???

Horatio Cornblower

I had some doubts about ‘Hail Caesar’ and then I saw “Coen Brothers” and now I’m all in.

John Difool

Scarlett Johansen’s cleavage helped too.

Horatio Cornblower

it ain’t hurtin’

tundrajim

I would watch a remake of “Manos” if the Coen brothers were directing it.

The Maestro

Yes, I’m a Pats fan, but that’s illegal contact.

Horatio Cornblower

Nah, they were both going for the ball, the defender has the same right to the ball as the receiver and the defender’s head was turned towards the ball. That’s just solid defense.

At least as I understand the narrative that I hear half the time, because the honest truth is that I no longer have any fucking idea what is and what isn’t pass interference anymore.

ThePirateSloth
Doktor Zymm

I guess you’ve made it to the couch?

ThePirateSloth

Only because I CHEFED the steaks.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Taek a shit on the floor before you leave. I dare you.

Horatio Cornblower

Dan Fouts yammering about Amendola running “north-south” at the same time the replay shows Amendola cutting hard for the side line.

This week in “If David Carradine were a sports journalist…”

theeWeeBabySeamus

Deelightful.

Smithchez

The only thing better than a slow developing run play up the middle is a slow developing pass play 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage.

Sill Bimmons

I never liked the Poles.

Too much German and Baltic blood to be true Slavs.

Doktor Zymm

You and Hitler. And Stalin. Dude, lay off the Poles.

King Hippo

SLAV FIGHT!!!!!

Sill Bimmons

Nah, I’m a Cossack.

Can’t stand anyone who isn’t from the Asian steppe.

King Hippo

So you gon’ steppe to dis?

Doktor Zymm

These here are awesome horses, but I can’t take you seriously when this is what you rampage on.

To Uncle Joe’s defense, he hated Ukrainians MUCH worse. And he really kinda sorta hated everybody who wasn’t Uncle Joe.

Sill Bimmons

Yup.

Totes Ukrainian oaver hear.

King Hippo

I read Quiet Flows the Don and Bloodlands last winter/spring. Happy reading, fo sho.

Sill Bimmons

Just listen to your G-Paw who fought at Stalingrad and Kursk.

...

An ex-girlfriend of mine took a short-term job in Kiev before the country exploded into chaos and she would tell me about how there so many gorgeous women who wanted American men.

When I now think about it, I realize she was probably just fucking with me.

Sill Bimmons

Nope.

They are real and they are spectacular.

...

Oh, I don’t doubt her comments about the nation’s women.

I just think she was taunting me since she had already found a new boyfriend by that point.

King Hippo

Many scam dating sites based on that kernel of truth!

theeWeeBabySeamus

But AnastasiaDatedotCom is real though….right?
RIGHT???????

theeWeeBabySeamus

Leon Trotsky likes this +1

King Hippo

BAH! TROTSKYITES!!!!!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

LMFAO

...

I work with entirely too many Poles and the women tend to be quite hot.

Sill Bimmons

They are.

That’s why their blood is so polluted.

Horatio Cornblower

What the fuck kind of ‘Mein Kampf’ book club is going on here?

Sill Bimmons

AND SOA I REVEAL MY PLANS FOAR WOARLD DOAMINATION

...

A male Polish coworker would explain to me how in Poland the husbands would all go get hammered in town each night at the bars and the wives would have to pick them up off the streets and drag them home.

Such a proud people.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

“I work with entirely too many poles”

Which club do you work at?

Kungjitsu

I had a Polish Spanish professor in college. She was a trip. I wish she had needed a green card.

nomonkeyfun

Let’s go England, if your fighting against the.most powerful country in Europe.

Sill Bimmons

Your what?

King Hippo

Andy is relieved because now a FG is an option for him again

Sill Bimmons

Back to a four field goal game.

Sean Penn’s secret trip involves acid and the savage beating of a 16 year old hooker.

theeWeeBabySeamus

You say that as if it were a bad thing.

King Hippo

theeWeeBabySeamus

Inorite?

theeWeeBabySeamus

LaFell: WTF you talking ’bout white boy?

Kungjitsu

Sean Penn is a snitch.

King Hippo

I can’t wait to see him in stitches ,, no ofence

Horatio Cornblower

None of this would have happened if Otto were here.

Smithchez

Did we ever find out what happened to Otto?

The Maestro

Pretty sure he’s running for office in Missouri, actually.

...

Good fucking luck with that.

Sill Bimmons

Disagree.

They were shitty the whole time we knew him.

Horatio Cornblower

Don’t dick-step my narrative with your “facts” Sill; this is the NFL we’re talking about.

WCS

I’ll happily sell my $12 share of this site for a Brady pick-six.

Horatio Cornblower

SOLD!

/rubs hands together

Patience Horatio, soon all of the shares will be yours!

Sill Bimmons

You can have my shares when you pay me a buck apiece for them.

Doktor Zymm

nomonkeyfun

How would you describe that band?

Doktor Zymm

dunno. Phish, but funny?

nomonkeyfun

Screw you, Dok, unless you were fucking with me Dok.

Doktor Zymm

When am I ever NOT fucking with people?

nomonkeyfun

True enough brilliant Frau. I was going for the joke of how do you dedesribe them, “Well there Fruvous”

...

I’d settle for some Brady picks.

Sill Bimmons

“Goodnight you prince of Maine, you king of New England!”

Wait, that’s not right…

Facebook kills yet another.

Couldn’t happen to a more Murkan patriot faking USMC credentials!

There’s a loss to the gene pool.

That touchdown was merely to give us the tiniest sliver of hope so we may be crushed when the Patriots roll the Chiefs for three more touchdowns.

Sill Bimmons

Tragedy = Comedy + Andy Reid

...

Interestingly, the following is true: Comedy = Tragedy + Andy Reid.

Because Andy Reid has no value.

nomonkeyfun

I don’t understand, scarfs cheesestakk

Horatio Cornblower

“The ruling on the field is an incomplete pass. The receiver slid in the end zone before catching the pass and then failed to rise to his feet, make a ‘football move’ and then recite the annotated version of the Treaty of Utrecht.”

nomonkeyfun

But us Yanks still get to keep New Orleans.

/Ahooooooooow

Sill Bimmons

It’s the Treaty Of Brest-Litovsk, you jackass!

tundrajim

If the Chiefs are on the comeback trail, it’s just going to lead to a lot of tears.

Sill Bimmons

damn

Horatio Cornblower

Oh and needless to say, he said needlessly, this is clearly a top candidate for the tag line next week.

Sill Bimmons

welp

blackroseMD1

What…what just happened?

makeitsnowondem

I don’t even care anymore. Just keep it within the point spread, Chiefs.

Who is Jason Avant and why is he footballing in an okay fashion?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Good thing Avant answered before Todd Pinkston.

Kungjitsu

Why are the Chefs running this 1986 Bill Parcells ball control offense when they’re down by 15?

Horatio Cornblower

Because Andy Reid is a GREAT coach.

Watch, he’ll go for the FG here.

Horatio Cornblower

I’ll be a son of a bitch.

Bortleback

Andy obviously had his mouth full of ribs, so tiny hands just went for it

BrettFavresColonoscopy

No disagreement here.

ThePirateSloth

The way Dan Fouts talks up Alex Smith, you’d think Smith was the white mans Russell Wilson.

Sill Bimmons

Moar leik the white man’s Clayton Bigsby AMIRITE

blackroseMD1

Blink-182?

Yep, it’s official, I hate everything about the Pats. The sound guy just confirmed it.

WCS

They did play Maiden earlier…

Sill Bimmons

90s music is the most forgettable of the real musics.
