Your “WHAT TIME IS IT?!?!” Thursday Night Football Open Thread

YEEEAAAHHHHH BOOOYYYEEEEE! I AM SO FREAKIN’ PUMPED FOR THIS GAME! (it’s midnight somewhere, right?) And I don’t even have a dog in this fight. I imagine Bronc/Panthers fans have spent the day peeling themselves from various ceilings much to the consternation of their co-workers/loved ones/friends. I liken this feeling to when I was younger and anticipated playing in a championship baseball or basketball game-giddy and excited and revelling in the anticipation itself.

Sure there’s a shit-ton of detritus that surrounds the sport and there’s no need for me to go on about it here. We tackle that shit on an on-going basis the same way that a certain coach from Kansas City tackles the “All You Can Eat And Rub On Your Face Innards Special” at The Offal House. There’s…Just…Something…About…This…Game. Whatever it may be, it is my master tonight. TO THE GAME!

Panthers/Broncos: There’s tons of hand-wringing out there in Denver fandom about this Siemian fella. The qb’s CV is thinner than the audience at an “Anne Coulter Appreciation Night”. He’s got all of three quarters of exhibition play under his not-onion belt. No one seems to know anything solid about his arm strength but he is said to be a fan of the slant route but crap, what qb in the league isn’t? Kubiak, a big fan of the Northwestern grad, and the coaching staff will do their best to keep Trevor (Trevor? Who names their kid Trevor?) out of 3rd and long spots because that talented Panther lb crew will be jumping those slant routes looking for an easy pick-six. In useless stat news, Denver has won 15 of their last 16 home openers.

Possessor of 16 career sacks, dt Kawaan Short is only 121.5 short of the record at his position. My money says he doesn’t get it tonight. Cam has a paltry 11.1 QBR vs. Denver in two meetings and Von Miller aims to drive that rating down even lower. In related news, Michael Oher’s ears are burning. Wr’s Funchess and Benjamin have to be the biggest pair in the league, right? No, I don’t acknowledge the existence of one year wonder Ted Ginn Jr., thanks for not asking. Both teams are relatively injury-free right now although I just learned that wr Bennie Fowler is out. Thing is, I don’t know which team he plays for.

And there you have it-one of the most comprehensive, salient, insightful game intros that you’ve ever just read. Of course you’re welcome! NOW LET’S TEAR THIS PLACE UP!*

 

*in an orderly, respectful manner

GAH FUCK THIS PRESEASON THAT COUNTS SHIT

Brocky

Are you guys legitimately confused on the lack of flags on cam?

Sill Bimmons

Nope.

Goodell’s got a hit out on him.

Old School Zero

No. It’s where the NFL blends racism with narrative.

Duchess

It’s actually reverse racism cuz the refs dont think white QB can take a hit or something #makeamericagudagain

John Difool

Not really he’s the fucking Golden Child ” I-I-I-I-I Want The Knife”

Gratliff

Yeah, my team had Donovan McNabb and Mike Vick. I think roughing the passer penalties are some liberal pipedream.

jjfozz

Thanks NBC, for reminding us that Elway didn’t come to Baltimore.

Go die in a fucking fire, you horsefaced cunt.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

RAAAARRR PHUBT, PHUBT!

entropy

That fuckin killed me

Unsurprised

Barbaro, no!

Unsurprised

That is to say, Barbaro was the last horse killed in Baltimore.

Duchess

Hey we need a song for the background… how about “Your Sex is on Fire?” perfect

Spur

Your ACL is on fire!

Smithchez

Oh yeah, Al? You think a helmet to the back of the knee might have had something to do with that?

entropy

Wow. He didn’t go low or anything

Redshirt

Oh, come on. How is that not a flag on Cam?!

Spur

Why is Cam’s running so flat?

Unsurprised

Carrying all that water

So how late after the pass was Cam hit THAT time?

John Elway evolved from Justin Bieber?

Sorry, it’s like a reflex.

“Hey Bob that’s not what we meant when I said get a shot of the moon”

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Well this is great, for my flex player this week I picked “Any caucasoid fullback”

...

“Any caucasoid fullback” is a great fantasy team name.

fleshwound_NPG

Whitest 30-yard TD run ever

Like a boot stuck in mud.

Spur

Mike Allstott has been replaced as the greatest white fullback according to ESPN.

MikeWallaceAndGromit

They’re dramatizing one of the worst environmental disasters of our time? Wonder if they’ll feature BP never fucking paying up.

hippofant

All that stuff actually just happens in the first 5 minutes of the movie. Then next 3 hours are just cleanup and boring-ass legal bullshit as BP refuses to pay anything.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

LOLNOPE It’s all about the gritty workers who got all gritty to save the Gulf! ‘Murica!

Unsurprised

So it’s 100% made up bullshit.

Superhero movies are more realistic.

Spur

Will Mark Wahlberg see his wife and daughter again?

Unsurprised

God willing, no.

entropy

Deepwater Horizon: The Movie, because Halliburton needs an apologist!

jjfozz

Call me sentimental, but that shot of that kid on the sideline after scoring that TD was money.

Sill Bimmons

DID YOU SEE THOSE TWO HANDS ON THE BALL THATS THE MOAST GRINDSCRAPTASTICAL THING YOULL EVAR SEE

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Somebody has to have him in the insanity league

YES A FLAG AFTER EVERY TOUCHDOWN

30+ yard FB dive TD run, fuck your fantasy teams, cunt nuggets.

FIRST GRITDOWN OF THE YEAR

Beerguyrob

KUUUUUUUUHNNNNNNN!!!

MikeWallaceAndGromit

WHO?!-DOWN!

entropy

So has the NFL decided that Siemian is their new golden boy? They’re already at Favre levels of fellatio.

Smithchez

With Brady suspended, if the fellatio doesn’t get distributed around the league, Collinsworth and Nantz will explode.

Spur

Gritty Run

litre_cola

That helps no one.

Sill Bimmons

ALL THE GRIT

Senor Weaselo

Kept on looking for Patch Adams in that doctor commercial.

Fuck Notre Dame

Beerguyrob

This is always a correct answer.

fleshwound_NPG

Okay, what kind of turnover will the Donks do next

Smuckers

Holy shit! This darn thang let me log in again! Hiya folks! Hope nobody got the aids in the offseason!

Redshirt

Let’s not be too harsh on the new QB. Its a new Operating System. Its going to have some bugs.

“Who the fuck bought Quarterback Vista?!?”

Shogun Marcus

No one. Let’s never speak of it again.

Duchess

So Budlight just said they are the ones who moved the Rams to LA… Thats just wrong on so many reasons.

herodotus450

Well, the Rams used to be in St. Louis, and Budweiser used to be a St. Louis company, the exodus of which could be interpreted as a harbinger of wealth leaving the city.

John Difool

AB was tired of being the second shittiest thing in St. Louis

Senor Weaselo

Remove the Stone of Shame! Attach the Stone of Triumph!

It’s nice to see the Broncos have evolved from a fetushead to a full-blown Siemian.
