Your “Why Don’t They Call It Buddha Eve?” Second Slate of NFL Games Open Thread

So many questions, so very few answers… TO THE GAMES!

Ind/Oak-Indy is looking to save their season and Oakland’s young and powerful O is licking their chops looking at the opposing D. [record scratch noise] Qb Carr has struggled mightily since his finger got all banged up. The last two games he’s throwing about 50% and averaging a pitiful 150 yards. Another horse in the ointment is that the Colts have won their last 4 on the road. Perhaps we have a more competitive game than the respective teams’ records would suggest.

TB/NO-TB or not TB-that is the wild card question. Win out and get in-simple as that. Aside from that I can’t find anything of interest to pass on.

Ari/Sea-Seattle gets a first-round bye with a win and that likely Lions loss. Arizony shouldn’t put up much of a fight-they’re down both starting tackles, wr Floyd, (excessive cele-libation) a starting lb and both starting safeties. They do have King Hippo’s most prominent man-crush in rb Johnson though. According to our most pill-centric commenter, “David alone is worth all those guys plus a new pair of pyjamas eight days a week!”. That guy doesn’t make much sense when he’s smitten.

SF/LA-There’s no one more interested in this game than the Titans front office. You see, the Rams gifted their first rounder in 2017 to the Titans for the honour of drafting their next franchise qb, the ‘not-even-remotely-ready-for-prime-time’ Jared Goff. And we all know how that played out in a certain multiverse-under the tough but fair tutelage of HC Fisher (who credits his never having sported a mustache as the key to being the league’s winning-est winner) Goff goes on to complete a near-miraculous turnaround and lead the Rams to the playoffs and is voted Rookie of the Year. Back here in RealityWorld, Jared hasn’t even reached “diamond in the rough” status and isn’t a game-ready player. CRIKEY! Uh, I mean, KROENKE!

I’m done. Now it’s your turn. UNLEASH THE TYPING HOUNDS!

The woman on the L.A. Fox station’s post-Rams game show is really really angry for some reason. There’s just no reason to take the Rams that seriously.

...

Perhaps she has an intense desire to RAMIT!

Can anyone confirm the Bucs are out because they lost? I’m playing with ESPN’s playoff machine and I can’t get a situation where they’re a wild card.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
...

Nevermind. They need to end up tied with the Packers and ahead of the [*Redacted] s but such that they win the strength of victory tiebreaker.

Dunstan

Not sure. I think if the Bucs win next week and finish 9-7, Washington loses, and either (1) Green Bay loses to Detroit; or (2) Detroit loses both its remaining games, then the Bucs end up tied at 9-7 with either GB or DET. No head-to-head games this year, and the conference records would be identical, so I think it would come down to record against common opponents. But I don’t see that listed anywhere and am too lazy to compute it.

...

I checked common games and they both played the Bears, Falcons, and Cowboys and each went 2-2 against that group.

...

Correction: Bears, Falcons, Cowboys, and Seahawks and each went 3-2.

It would be more fair if the divisional games were weighted so a split counted as a tie. In that case, the Packers would win.

...

Correction to correction: in my weighted scenario the Bucs would advance since they split against the Falcons whereas the Packers lost.

Horatio Cornblower

Can’t confirm it but my brother-in-law, a Giants fan, was saying that the Giants needed a Bucs loss so I would assume that they’re having lost means they’re out.

Croooow

You know there’s some Niners fans going: “Well, we beat the Rams twice. Successful season!”.

Alright — I’m off to listen to the Cards postgame show and check out this thermostat biz.

blaxabbath

Seattle Paper Tigers.

Their fans can call themselves The Jungle — since they just steal their titles from other fan bases anyways.

...

Well, they are mostly unsanitary meat.

...

The Atlanta Falcons are positioned to get a bye.

This whole damned thing is rigged by Skip Bayless.

Sharkbait

Wait. The team that lost on a pick 2 can get a bye?

Dunstan

Pete Carroll agrees, though he thinks the Illuminati are involved, too.

Horatio Cornblower

if I lose to Cuntler by 1 point in the OSZ League I am going to drive to Oakland and murder Janikowski.

Anyone want to meet for drinks in Oakland?

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Bengals at Texans is the night game?! Haven’t I suffered enough today?!

Sharkbait

Bengals and who?

Unsurprised

No

blaxabbath

Pete Carroll, watching that final FG.

Wow. LOLCHOX

I uh have to go….

Well, let’s just say I won’t need anymore Viagra single packs to have an erection for the next 36 hours.

ThePirateSloth

Welp.

Fuck.

Spur

Fuck Pete Carrol!

Old School Zero

Both my mom and my brother cheered and suggested Mr. Carrol suck large donkey penises. Both of them.

blaxabbath

I like your mom & brother.

King Hippo

I’d trust Canyanero before I’d let Palmer keep throwing like that.

Spur

What the fuck happened? I was feeding my parents parrot and now it’s a tie game for Arizona and Seattle.

blaxabbath

Kickers are still part of the game.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’m out for a bit. Might say hello again later.
But just in case…..Merry Christmas, my friends.
Be Well.

blaxabbath

I’ve heard that one before.

Let me know if you see my dad at the corner store from 1986.

...

I hope the Niners lose next week so we can say they went Rams-and-14.

...

But no, I don’t hope the Cowboys win their last two so we can say they went 14-and-Giants.

I like that all these shitty teams are trying to gift the Bears a better draft pick.
