Your Late Afternoon NFL Football Open Thread

I’m just going to get after it-

Car/LA-Them Panthers just love the NFC West-after all, it’s the only reason they have two wins. PFF’s second-highest graded player is dt Aaron Donald. Number one is (let’s all spit on the ground at once-1, 2, 3 *pfttt!*) is Brady-the bastard. The Rams Donald has 38 qb pressures so far, can stop the run and controls the wind with his mind. If he was as self-absorbed as JJ Watt we’d be sick of him now. So say a prayer for Carolina rg Trai Turner-may he heal quickly.

NO/SF-Everything is going right for qb Brees. And left, and short, and long, and down the sideline and in the end zone. He’s at 70%, has an 18/5 TD/Int ratio and sports a snazzy 104.7 qb rating. Damn. Balancing things out on O is rb Ingram, a fumbling bumbler that has somehow not taken advantage of opposing D’s that have been back-pedaling all game long. He’s been dumped on the bench in favour of 102 yard-gathering Tim Hightower. Did you read what I just typed? TIM. HIGHTOWER. I expect that Qb Kaep will sooner rather than later step over the bar of 164 yards passing per game that Gabbert abominated. Given that rb Hyde should be back today perhaps the Niners steal a second win.

Ten/SD-I guess de Bosa was all that. The fella has 26 qb pressures in only 4 games. Should be interesting, this matchup between him and rook rt Conklin who hasn’t given up a hit on Mariota yet. (Did I read that right?) The Titans have to win the lousy AFC South to get into the playoffs because 2nd isn’t going to get a wild card spot. Meanwhile, the Bolts keep stumbling around, winning games they shouldn’t (Broncs, Falcons) and losing games they shouldn’t (Saints, Raiders).

Ind/GB-Just after all the “What’s Wrong With Aaron Rodgers?” articles came out the fella started to come good on his obvious talent. For the last two weeks he’s 1st in TD’s, 2nd in completions and 3rd in passer rating. Look for those numbers to rise due to the Colts passing D being ranked 31st overall. Opposing qb’s have a 14/2 ratio against them. A shootout, anyone? Qb Luck is facing limpers and second-teamers in the Packers secondary although cb Rollins may be back from a groiner.

TYPE AWAY, YOU SILLY BANANAS!

I remember when a drug scandal ruined a sport figure’s endorsement opportunities, i.e. Michael Phelps face-time with a bong. Then I see him do ads for Subway and video games…guess demographics overrule.

litre_cola

Well a bong ripper are far better than a pedophile hawking your sandwiches

King Hippo

Humps gonna win by defensing, Green Bat really is TOTES DED. So, Lions take that division now?

Shogun Marcus

There is no deity real or fictional that would allow it.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

New white guy in the backfield for the Packers, no need for viagra in Green Bay this week

King Hippo

Get in Lionel Hutz FG range, c’mon…

Brick Meathook

You know hell is? I’ll tell you what hell is. Hell is the parking lot of a Costco on a Sunday.

I only went to load-on 100 lbs of mega-fuel in the BrickMobile™ and I damn near strangled ten people.

I detest racism and xenophobia of any kind, but some of these stinking immigrants seem like they learned to drive on a fucking donkey around mud huts with thatched roofs and are afraid of the secret police if they show any initiative when they are more in danger of being shanked by me and goddamit I’ll make it look like it was your fault asshole now go back to that shit-hole you came from before I really get mad. This is the kind of thing I would never say because it is wrong and hurtful and I detest that.

By the way, the BrickMobile™ is fine and fully loaded:

Cause(s) of career death:
Rodgers, A: suicide from believing himself invincible.
Luck, A: willful negligent homicide by employer.

I’m just grateful it wasn’t Matthews murdering us today

King Hippo

RedZone has left it on Ram It!/Panthers for like 5 minutes straight. We apparently did something very, very bad.

litre_cola

You still touch yourself don’t you? Redzone knows.

Old School Zero

Oh goddamnit. That was predictable. BUT HAIL BLEERGH! THOSE WHO ARE BAILED OUT MAY NEVER PUNT!

blackroseMD1

Touchdown Chargers! Only took them 5 tries from the 2.

Old School Zero

Apparently the DirecTV feed is a bit behind the live game.

Shogun Marcus

SQUIRREL!!!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Play stopped in Green Bay for a squirrel on the field. Pheel and Jeem are analyzing slow mo of said squirrel. Mark this moment as the death of the NFL.

King Hippo

ugh, here comes teh vulture

litre_cola

9 weeks in and I still have no clue how to win in the Insanity league.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I see the Colts offensive line remains as effective at protection as a condom that has been chewed on by a pit bull.

litre_cola

This right here is banner quote material.

Shogun Marcus

Welp. Detroit gives us a bailout, and we do this. We’re Chrysler.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Wut? No penalty for illegal substitution because the play “happened to happen”?

King Hippo

One cannot fathom just how insurmountable a 10-point lead is to Ram It!

litre_cola

That 3 hour nap was fantastic.

Old School Zero

San Diego has moved their 4th quarter collapse up to end of 2nd/early 3rd. Please adjust your Outlook calendars accordingly.

Sharkbait

Starting dinner. Be back for the late game.

King Hippo

another dumb pylon stretch

Old School Zero

Jeebus. Where did our pass rush go?

King Hippo

Rodgers really has been ass today, eh? Or is it an OL thing, for those watching in full/paying better attention?

Sharkbait

Kind of half ass paying attention. He hasn’t been given much. WRs dropped a couple long tosses that would have helped them.

Shogun Marcus

He’s holding on too long as usual. Looking for kill shots when easy damage will work.

King Hippo

BLEERGH is EVERYWHERE, my chilluns

Old School Zero

BROWNS! RAVENS! THURSDAY! PURGATORY!

Sharkbait

Why would the schedulemakers do that to us?

King Hippo

my new ad slogan:

“Oxycodone. Keep feeling the oxy. Stop feeling life.”

Col. Duke LaCross

Playing horribly in a tournament last week and my back was killing me so I popped one at the turn and birdied 5 out of the last nine holes to finish in the money. I need to play golf on drugs more often.

King Hippo

at one point, I was 96-4% favoured over DonT. Before Kaep turned into “Sweet Spot Jeebus” Kurt Warner.

Sharkbait

Fantasy is evil. I couldn’t replace my kicker and D in the second insanity league.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I’m carrying two kickers in insanity if anyone wants to make an offer.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I just got tossed from the other room for predicting the next line(s) of “Madam Secretary” episodes verbatim while my girlfriend was watching in suspense. She was clearly not entertained.

blackroseMD1

Typical Chargers. Dominate early making it look like a blowout in the making…end up only up by 5 at the half.

Old School Zero

I knew Mariota would be a threat in this game, especially with their power running game as well.

The question is, did Pagano and McCoy know this as well? DOUBTFUL.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Did they even know there was a game?

Old School Zero

They probably simmed it on Madden and called it good.

King Hippo

well, putting the shackles on Laserface sure is pissing me off from a fantasy perspective. And keeping TN in the fixture.

Old School Zero

Gahhhh

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Shogun Marcus

My thoughts on Dom, his staff, and what needs to happen:

Shogun Marcus

And that’s McCarthy following him out if it doesn’t happen.

blackroseMD1

A Chargers DB is tied for first in the NFL in interceptions. I can’t remember the last time I could say that.

Also, good to see Bosa back in there.

King Hippo

THREE fuckers defensive holding on same play. Dunno if ever seen that before.

blackroseMD1

That’s actually a pretty impressive level of fail right there.

King Hippo

49ers D is soooooo jelly of that wet toilet paper

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Just woke up from a needed nap. Presume all I missed was football like product?

Shogun Marcus

Yes. Like. As in gubmint cheese is like cheese.

The Maestro

Gentlemen. Ladies.

I believe it is high time for me to partake in pigskin and alcohols.

Hope your days have been splendid. Mine is looking up again once more.

Shogun Marcus

THIS GAME I CALL IT MY FIRST MARRIAGE. THERE’S SCORING BUT IT’S UNSATISFYING AND IT FEELS LIKE IT’S DRAGGING ON.

Old School Zero

NOT BOSA

King Hippo

wha happen?

Old School Zero

Not sure. Maybe no news is good news…

blackroseMD1

Injury God needs to fuck off and die. This is ridiculous.

American Pie Story

Bless Vinatieri, goddamnit Hodor

King Hippo

HODOR!

Shogun Marcus

Pheel: “Well you know he’s a overhand thrower.”
*blink blink…twitch blink*

Old School Zero

Goddamn. Chargers looking like the GOOD Chargers.

Old School Zero

AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THAT HAPPENED

(Except for the playing against the Titans thing)

blackroseMD1

I missed these guys. Wish they wouldn’t go on vacation every other week.

Old School Zero

Last week just looked worse than it really was–a few less flukey tipped INTs by the offense and a few more actually grabbed INTs by the defense and it’s a completely different result. The upcoming schedule is very much in our favor. I’m… reservedly hopeful.

blackroseMD1

Reservedly hopeful seems to be about right with this team.
