Your “Is The NFL Even Trying?” Arizona/San Fran Thursday Night Open Thread

Hey folks! Gather round-I’ve got an admission to make. I’m going to watch this game. I can’t help it. I was born this way. I didn’t *choose* to be a fan of the NFL. Sure there are other options like preseason hockey, preseason basketball, NASCAR, college football and hell, if yer desperate enough, playoff baseball. But me? I am who I am. TO THE GAME!

Cards/Niners-Two 1-3 teams are trying to save their season but there can be only one because ties don’t exist in the NFL, right Donovan? That poor guy will never live that down in my addled brain-space. JOHNSON! HYDE! GABBERT! STANTON! CATANZARO! DAWSON! The star’s names just roll off the exclamation marks, don’t they? The Niners are now down starting cb Ward, dl Buckner and now inside lb Bowman who has shredded his Achilles. This is a D that ranks dead last, worst, not-best at stopping the run. Given that perennial backup qb Stanton is up to bat(?), I’m thinking that hat-hungry hc Arians lets loose the Star That Is David (Johnson) [fantasy owners everywhere fall to their knees and wail] This seems like a not-brainer. Although Stanton does love him the deep ball. When he plays wr Floyd ends up with more targets than the most obvious guy. #SitFitz is what I’m trying to say. Cards, this is your game to lose-don’t do that.

A word to our fellow commentists that may be in the line of Hurricane Matthew fire. Stay safe. That is all.

Now, TALK TO ME (and others), PEOPLE!

The alternate universe I most want to live in is the one where Carson Palmer has never had a single injury.

How are Kevin White’s legs in this universe?

Is it Boltman?

Stay neutrally charged.

Sill Bimmons

Thanks, Lincoln.

It’s always nice to be reminded that there are people with larger closets than a two-bedroom apartment.

Fronkenshteen

Good. Now they can’t make Kap go in and fuck up that beautiful afro with his helmet. He looks like the conga player in Santana.

Yuuuup. Terrible and awkward.

Lothar of the Hill People

I wanna see Kaepernick in a SF golf visor. That would be fucking epic.

Sill Bimmons

New game: How many visors can you stick into Kaep’s fro?

how the fuck is this a reply. this fucking game is messing with my head

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

So I just spent the last half-hour on the phone with my sister; how many punts did I miss?

Sharkbait

All of them.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

6, I am 100% serious

Sharkbait

Ice Eagles beating the Ice Giants 4-2. Still better than this game.

...

Same score in the Dirt Browns vs. Dirt Pats game.

...

I will never like TBS’s baseball coverage.

Lothar of the Hill People

CBS is the retread network now. First Hawaii 5-0, now MacGyver. What’s next? That’s 70’s show?

Brocky

and now, for the latest installment in our series chronicling the interactions of God, our lord and savior, and his ongoing effort to cause Brocky as much personal agony as possible through his fantasy manifestations:

Jesus: Hey Dad, this hurricane looks pretty serious, we might want to intervene here.

God: If they didn’t want so many hurricanes, they shouldn’t have messed up the ozone so bad, what’s up with Brocky.

Jesus: Dad! There’s going to be death and disease and…

God: The Only Floridian lives i care about are manatees. Brocky, status report, now.

Jesus: Fine, Brocky is eyeing the 49ers defense, which is available in all his leagues. With the cardinals struggling, and palmer missing, Brocky thinks it’ll be a sleeper performance.

God: Well we can’t have that. lets have every source possible talk up the cardinals rushing attack, and give brocky every second thought possible.

during the Thursday night game, scoreless first quarter

God: and I love it when a plan comes together. Touchdown Niners!

Jesus: Dad, it’s scoreless

God: Won’t be for long. we’re going to have a pick-six here in a second, then a fumble recorvery TD in the 4th.

Jesus: and florida?…

God: Fine, I’ll avoid the everglades, happy?

Jesus: 3 days I was dead, 3 days for this …

God: You think 3 days is bad? Try having the Red Sox not win a title in 80 years, and have no less than 1300 Bostonians curse your name every single day for it. Now, let’s go niners!

From left to right in my control room:

The CW showing IheartRadio in Vegas. This shitshow of a game. Chicago Med. Pitch.

I’m not sure what’s worse.

Shogun Marcus

Peanut butter/Butterscotch/Toffee cookies are the business.

Sill Bimmons

So much about the world is confusing.

“James Bell is a Silicon Valley billionaire who dreams of building a hospital with ultimate cutting-edge technology to treat rare and incurable diseases. He partners with a maverick surgeon, Dr. Walter Wallace, who leads the effort in clearing out the bureaucracy of medicine, and focus on forward thinking, advancing technology, and saving lives—at no cost to the patient.”

That’s the plot of Pure Genius.

Why…?

Shogun Marcus

Foar a moment I was confused with Real Genius and thought I completely missed some subtext.

Sill Bimmons

It confused teh Google at first too.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Oh god that is only the end of the first, it feels like we should be starting the 4th after we return. Eh, fuck it, I will stick with it. Maybe I could play a drinking game. Take a shot after every punt.

What a fucking dipshit for unloading on his own teammate.

Way to concuss your own teammate.

did he, like, bite Flacco’s weewee?

Sharkbait

This game blows more than hurricane Matthew

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

I’m having a hard time justifying watching this game instead of finally starting MGS V: Phantom Pain. So unless the Chipster finally has enough of these black unis and suddenly breaks out his favorite, uh, “ghost outfit,” I think I’m gonna sit this one out…

Sill Bimmons

Remember this moment in June…

King Hippo

yes, Sill is wise man. WE MUST SAVOUR EVERY GODDAMNED MOMENT.

When I put a bullet in my brain, definitely gonna be in fucking June.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

I knowwwww…

Unless this game ends in a 0-0 tie, which seems highly possible at this point, my off season self will be mad at me.

King Hippo

but then you’ve seen HISTORY!

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Eh, it has its own channel, and it’s pretty overrated.

Fronkenshteen

What do you think is wrong with Michael Floyd? He’s in a contract year, and should be popping off the screen. Now he’s getting out-snapped by Jaron Brown. Any Cards fans here with the inside dope?

Sill Bimmons

Drew Stanton.
