Your “THIS IS NOT A DRILL!-The Redux” Thursday Night Football Open Thread

Although his powers of evil are completely capable of making it happen, not even RGshithead (that’s Roger Goodell) would cancel six games.  Right? (my glass is half full btw) So here we are-cheering for football itself, our fave teams and most importantly, NO INJURIES. This is who we are, folks. This is our wheelhouse, this is our equivalent of volunteering for Habitat For Humanity. This is where we do good work. I’m a bit leery yakking about teams in too much detail because we’ve got some awesomely jizztastic team previews in the pipeline but here she goes-

Was/Atl-OBJ-molester Josh Norman makes his dee-butt for the Redacted. A general sense of hopefulness is overshadowing the eventual reality of Daniel Snyder’s overwhelming doucheness taking this team down to 6-10. It really doesn’t matter what the perpetual do-nothing Falcons do in the pre-season. You may want to cast an eye towards CJ Goodwin, a wr that has converted to cb and is turning heads. That’s the NFL’s version of Cool Story Bro.

TB/Philly-Absolute nobody Cameron Bates has stolen the TE job from Austin (The Hyphen) Jenkins. [wanking motion] This may be the last time you get to enjoy the pedestrian work of rb Mike James. Philly-wise, highly-prized qb rookie (pun alert!) Carson Wontz go missing for the majority of the 2nd half.

N.O/N.E.-The twilight of Drew Brees’ career is upon us and if several tens of thousands of fantasy players get their way, CJ Spiller will be occupying the same fate. Qb-wise Garrett Grayson will get the majority of the work later on in the game. Pats-wise-I fucking hate the team and their fans and this will never change.

Car/Bal-Apparently the Panthers did some Wawesome (that’s Wow! and Awesome! combined) things last year. Perhaps they’ll continue in that vein if Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess win the starting jobs at wr. I can’t remember which height/weight belongs to who but one is 6’4″, 225 and the other is 6’5″, 245. GOOD GOD! Baltimore, in their infinite wisdom, counters with Ryan Mallet.

Jax/Jets-It looks as though the Jags are on their way up-6th rd. rb Brandon Allen is trying to sneak on to the roster by bringing it in the 2nd half. Jalin Marshall, a draftee from Ohio State has lit it up at Jets camp. In Todd Bowles’ war room there is talk of implementing The Marshall Plan at wide receiver.

Den/Chi-Did you know that as anonymous commenters we share 98% of our DNA with Bronc qb Simian? (I spelled it wrong intentionally!) Chicago speaking, Brian Hoyer’s tendency to “not give a shit” is up 74.3% while under the tutelage of Jay Cutler.

 

LET’S GET AT IT, FOLKS-THIS IS WHERE YOU SHINE!

HOLY FUCKBALLS LOOK OUT NFL!!!

Doktor Zymm

Coaching staff and such doesn’t actually give a shit about winning preseason games, right? Or are they just stupidly competitive for no goddamn reason? Generally, if it comes down to FG or go for it, when field goal would tie close to the end of a game, they go for it. I assume this is because who wants preseason OT? NOONE.

Duchess

Correct the coaches and the players really dont want to even to play them

packman_jon

MM doesn’t give a shit about winning them. He tends to dump the benches early.

herodotus450

We’re just talking preseason there though; Matt Millen empirically didn’t give a shit about winning any game.

I love Carson Wentz college highlights. It’s like the football scene in Something About Mary.

that little soldier DON’T GIVE NO FUCKS!!!

King Hippo

wait, wounded duck off back foot into traffic? Mebbe Janine IS Brittfar after all. Someone pull down his britches real quick.

Duchess

Ladies and Gentlemen during the Olympics are the only time watching teenagers in spandex is not only encouraged but considered your patriotic duty.

Duchess

Damn no NFL network during preseason stuck watching Ravens

King Hippo

I guess now is as good a time as any to begin the “Brian Dawkins for 2017 HOF” campaign. Interestingly, no one seems to think he’s going to make it in, including me, which is a fucking travesty, because he’s one of the best safeties of all time.

Kungjitsu

It’s hard for safeties to get in. I think LeRoy Butler needs to be in.

packman_jon

Bias excluded, I completely agreed for both

Gratliff

Nooooooooo! There’s some not-bad running back that racked up 10000 yards in 12 years or something that needs to go in first.

litre_cola

Well Gratliff looks like you and I are taking a road trip to go and “Bill Cosby” Peter King and steal his vote. I mean hell, he wanted to Darren Sharper in the hall. We will just be giving him the “Harper” experience.

King Hippo

OK, Siemian is doing it too. Maybe it is the Bears.

aceg

Sigh…. yuuuuup. Really thought the D would take a step forward this year. Well, it’s still early.

Kungjitsu

Geno Smith sucks.

packman_jon

Seriously why did the Jets – oh.

packman_jon

Texans?

King Hippo

yeah, why hide from someone who doesn’t exist??

ThursdaySkyGoddess

I mith Mike Mayock on Thurthday Nighths.

litre_cola

I wasth justht thinking the thame thing

packman_jon

“I was thinking…wait what was I thinking about?”

Trent Green

litre_cola

Oooh some candy

Kungjitsu

Where did Mike Mayock go?

packman_jon

I just remembered Joel Stave got signed by the Vikings
BAWAHHAHAHHAHAHHAAHHAHHAHA

Gratliff

CARSON WENTZ! FALSE START! PLAN THE PARADE!

Kungjitsu

Jimmy Garapalo is already better than Tom Brady has ever been!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Nuts, Denver’s defense is still looking pretty good.

King Hippo

Todd Davis is a good replacement at MLB. Could actually be better up the middle.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Wade is a very good defensive coordinator. He really is.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

That line is going to get Cutler murdered

aceg

DOOOOOOON’T CAAAAAARE!!!! Sorry, just wanted to get that in early in the pre season.

King Hippo

That line against the Donks’ front 7 is just mean.

packman_jon

“Eh, whatever”
– Cutler

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

THERE’S the Nacho we know!

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

Huh. Interception that wasn’t Nacho’s fault. Who knew?

King Hippo

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

“I’m gonna pretend I didn’t hear that…”

King Hippo

Pats’ pre-season jackass compares Janine Garaffalo to Brittfar. For tossing a screen pass. Napalm??

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

Nuke Foxboro from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

King Hippo

It is not the Bears’ fault. The Sanchize can only be an upgrade FOAR teh 2016 Donks.

Gratliff

My memory of him as a successful Jets starter is him Doug Pedersoning the fuck out of the football for 3.9 quarters, and then hitting a 4th quarter for a prayer over and over again. Is this a faithful remembrance of the true Sanchize?

Gratliff

Yes, why IS Zach Ertz playing at the end of the first half in the first pregame? I’d like to think Doug Pederson doesn’t want him to lose an ACL for an exhibition.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

If it ain’t hurtz, it ain’t Ertz

litre_cola

Grat in all honesty what do you think our record will be this season? I foresee crosseyes getting murdered about week 4, then a couple blown games for clock management and then lil Dakota Jesus starting the last four games where he shows just enough that he is named starter next year. All in all 6- 10 this season followed by a 7 – 9

Gratliff

This year’s record will be most yards lost to sacks.

Oh that sucks, happens here in the mountains but they have blocked off the highways so it is usually the trains that get em.

King Hippo

OH AN’ HE SEXY!!!!!!

Croooow

I have to wait until 9:30 until I get my first preseason dose. Staying strong.

packman_jon

You’ve got plenty of time to start drinking

King Hippo

Sanchize in FIELD GOAL position!!! He is a force of goddamned nature, like Rex’s kale shits.

aceg

Sweet baby Jesus YESSSSSSSS!!! The wasteland that is the off-season is ovah!!

Meanwhile, in the Olympics Aly Raisman is sporting her +3 agility fur gauntlets.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Jesus, that field hasn’t been used for six months, and it STILL looks like garbage.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The Saints are gonna be shit, ain’t they?

Gratliff

If there is a fair and loving god

King Hippo

RedZone is free 4 pre-season nights, including this one. Dunno if this offer applies to maple syrup thugs or not…

litre_cola

We are different than bone thugs. I accept that. And no we do not get the free view.

King Hippo

Bunches of Funchesses!!!!

Croooow

Just read the WYTS on the Raiders. “Raider Boat” needs to happen.

Gratliff

Josh Huff fucking bowls the ball forward 10 yards, and apparently putting the ball out of bounds during a fumble is a penalty?

Gratliff

If Carson Wentz isn’t Donovan McNabb reborn, the Eagles are fucked. He’s not going to have shit to work with.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

THAT’S NOT…true…[trails off]

Gratliff

My god. I forgot about the tip drill interceptions. So many fucking tip drills.
