Your “The Fins Are Playing Their Backup QB Today? Moore’s The Pity” AFC Wild Card Playoff Open Thread

“WHAT DO WE WANT?”

“A COMPETITIVE PLAYOFF GAME!”

“WHEN DO WE WANT IT?”

“NOW!”

[whispers out of the side of his mouth] “Could you maybe just wait until the one after this?”

Mia/Pit– The Steelers opened as 10.5 faves and that has since been bumped to 12.5. Why? Well, pull up a couch and I’ll tell you my good fan. HC Gase and the entire fan base was hoping that qb Tannyfanny would be ready to go for this one but Matt Moore has been announced as the starter. In a three game stint he threw for 8 TD’s vs. 3 INT’s but half of those were against the Jets and they only count as three-pointers in league stats. Moore has a significantly stronger arm than the guy normally in front of him so he may want to air it out to wr’s Parker and Stills (who will drop it) early in order to make some space for the running game. Rb Ajayi will have to run for 200+ yards for the fourth time this year in order for the Fins to have a whisper of a chance. You see, their D ranked 29th in avg. yards given up per game at 382.6. This ‘winning’ squad also had a point differential of -17 which is indicative of a team that lost big to a half-decent team here and squeaked out games vs. lousy opposition there. Did I mention that their #1 cb Maxwell is hobbled by an ankle injury and may not play against Antonio?

If you can’t hear me over the laughter of Ben, Bell and Brown… THE STEELERS HAVE WON 7 STRAIGHT AND ARE HEADED TO K.C. NEXT WEEKEND.

[wipes hands on monitor] My work here is done. GET AT IT, KOOL KATS!!!

I’m shocked that the Steelers got away with an uncalled penalty there!

That looks fun. I would totally do that if I was a duck

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

It’s fun, then he panics a little at the end pumping the brakes (webs).

Spur

Let’s recap:
Raiders – starting QB (MVP candidate) hurt late in season
Dolphins – starting QB (known asshole) hurt late in season
Titans – starting QB hurt late in season . Ends playoff push for a dangerous team.

And the Pats get another free ride to the AFC championship game.

King Hippo

HAIL SATAN!!!

It’s still possible that Jadeveon Clowney murderdeathkills Tom Brady and ends his career. Don’t give up hope!

Unsurprised

No he won’t.

Brocky

I gave up hope on career ending injuries when Julius peppers failed to sever Andrew lucks spinal cord on his first play from scrimmage in 2012

Fronkenshteen

Do you think they’ll let us fill out March Madness brackets in the Nevada gulags, or are they gonna be dicks about it?

Petronel

Miami fans more bundled up than the Pittsburgh fans? YOU DON’T SAY.

Spur

Can we just have one competitive wild card game?

NOT IN TRUMP’S AMERICA

So, the game wasn’t on at the bar and I got them to put it on for me….just in time to watch the game winning TD in the first Q

Spur

What kind of bar doesn’t have a NFL playoff game on?

Doktor Zymm

It’s got an unlimited mimosa brunch that is popular with families and gay men.

Spur

So like a lounge

...

BUT FOOTBALL IS FAMILY!

And likely indifferent to the gays.

hippofant

Titty bar.

Unsurprised

A good one

The Maestro

I’d recommend that someone maybe try to tackle Antonio Brown here. Seems like it’d probably be a good idea. Just my opinion, though.

JustStopDude

Bill Burr’s feed is about 2 minutes offset from the TV action and its still more coherent and better than the actual broadcasters.

fleshwound_NPG

We have replaced Antonio Brown with 1989 Jerry Rice, let’s see if anyone notices

Brocky

“Brown is better!

Wait, I mean….”

Over/under on how long Pittsburgh keeps its starters in? I put it at 43:00.

I see I’m not the only one who decided to play “flog the dolphin” this morning

Shogun Marcus

That takes care of the point spread.

WCS

Teehee.

Spur

Where’s the Dolphins pass rush? Stump on some nuts Suh!

litre_cola

So this is fucking horrible, what else is on?

fleshwound_NPG

bwahahaha two dolphins fuckin trucked each other in coverage during that last 3rd down play

King Hippo

I’m glad I at least have laundry to do.

Shogun Marcus

Lady Shogun was a barista at various shops including big green. If I brought her McDonald’s instead of actual coffee I’d at best be flayed, crucified, left outside to cure, then used as jerky. At best.

Unsurprised

Damn it. I go up to rinse off some dishes and I miss the fucking game. Figures.

Fuck you Simms. Gah I would rather listen to this game in Punjab. Why the fuck can’t we get the college announcers instead of these entitled asshats????

Why???

ThursdaySkyGoddess

So you want to donate to my “Clone Gus Johnson” fund?

litre_cola

Yes. Warm up Keith Jackson while you are at it. He doesn’t need a colour guy either.

Shogun Marcus

Whoa nelly.

Spur

That wasn’t a hit to the head on a QB?

ThursdaySkyGoddess

All season long whenever they showed Adam Gase on the sidelines, I thought it was Chad Pennington.

fleshwound_NPG

Our last two hopes to make this weekend even moderately interesting…is Matt Moore and later today, Elisha.

Unsurprised

We’re fucked

litre_cola

Did Moore just play action the wrong way?

...

Doubling the Steelers’ chances of winning is the obvious consequence of starting Moore.

Spur

Come on Miami. These playoffs have been shit, step it up

Dunstan

And this is why God invented point spreads.

fleshwound_NPG

Heh, my mom’s maiden name is Fenwick.

The Maestro

Is her new last name Corsi? Or PDO?

litre_cola

Better the Pedo IMO

Of course the last footbaw weekend I have off until the Superb Owl is going to be filled with shitty games.

Fronkenshteen

Gat DAMN.

Horatio Cornblower

Welp, so much for this game.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Welp, so much for the competitive portion of the morning game.

The Maestro

GAME. OVER.

fleshwound_NPG

WELP.

Petronel

And so it begins.

“Big Ben is old school. Like he doesn’t wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle.

I’m gonna stay away from the other old school shit he does”

Ah Bill Burr…

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I thought that it meant that he’s in his thirties (old) and still reads at a third grade level (school).

King Hippo

no means HARF

Spur

That field is so shitty looking

Howdy, folks.

litre_cola

G’day how is the Arctic chill treating you?

The Maestro

Fine and dandy. -11 C is nothing. I was out at the outdoor rink yesterday at -15.

litre_cola

I am very indifferent on this one. Would like it to be close. Obviously we need our offerings for Shankhor and Bleergh but apart from that just don’t suck.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Of course the ‘Fins deffered. They don’t want to see Matt Moore play either.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

OK, I fucking laughed at that.
