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

I’m sure this has been mentioned, but Wade Phillips was the Evil Coach in the Waterboy, wasn’t he?

Do you guys think we’ll have a singificant event not have a major motion picture within five years of the event occuring?

Porky Prime

Jaden Smith as Colin Kaepernick in…The Sitdown.

jjfozz

One more bourbon and I’m going out to torch as many fucking Subway stores as I can. These commercials eat shit.

Smithchez

I’ve heard Sully is good, but I can’t wait for the sequels, “Tawmy” and “Mahky Mahk stops 9/11”

Sill Bimmons

Between Tom Hanks salary and the marketing budget the rest of Sully must have cost about $10 to make.

Porky Prime

I know it’s largely makeup but Tom Hanks as Sully aged him like 40 years overnight.

Cam is gonna vulture all of Jonathan Stewart’s TDs this year, isn’t he?

Teddy's Bridge Over Troubled Water

Oh god yes.

litre_cola

Sadly I took him in 2 important drafts this year and it is painful to cheer for him. But I hope so.

blackroseMD1

Well, on the plus side, I can just replace him in Flex with Kelvin Benjamin and hopefully get a few, I guess.

Spur

I want more cheerleader ass shots after the break.

jjfozz

Running fumble drills in the living room. Fucking hilarious.

12th Man joke during a Broncos game. Now many people in Denver just got triggered?

Recovery Whiskey

Cant be the 12th man any more, Seattle quit paying Texas A & M rent

Camdown! Celebration penalty pending…

Donks have forgotten how to count this half, apparently.

Hey kids, I had to rebuild the plugin that loads the comments for you on the fly. It went wild and was refreshing comments every second instead of ever minute, and was murderfacing the server.

IT’S JUST EXCITED FOR OUR WITTY FOOTBALL COMMENTS!

ThePirateSloth

Those wild and crazy plugins!!!

Thank you as always for your work.

“You get hit early on… and your brain slows down.”
Collinsworth making some sense there.

We’re serious about concussions so what we did was penalize the team if they kick the ball too hard on kick off.

“Oh no that was other personality, Brandon X. Brandon Marshall only cares about winning the AFC East on Sundays.”

“Are we sure he wasn’t concussed before they played the anthem durr hur hur?”

Whooo boy, my father is none too pleased about this “kneeling cowards bullshit”. Guess I’ll mark that topic down as a lost cause to discuss with him.

Ironically, the Lost Cause might be open for discussion.

Did anyone else think that the start of the shitty “This is Us” show was a dramatized Mike & Molly?

Sill Bimmons

That looks like Death.

Spur

It’s the 2nd quarter and the starters are still playing.

Teddy's Bridge Over Troubled Water

I don’t think the Broncos got the memo. Looks like they’re playing their backup.

Sill, Canadian commercials are just as bad. I am in midseason form swearing at how bad marketing people are.
