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!!!

It is only 20-6, which is frankly stunning.

Dolphins…defense?

Dolphins defense!

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Even JEEEEEM had to do a double take when the Dolphins stopped that drive with an interception.

The Maestro

The Steelers did a… bad??

JustStopDude

Coworker just called and asked for help to purchase a TV. I would normally tell someone even suggesting me take personal time for something so stupid to just piss off…except he just secured his green card so he can put down roots in the states and frankly, the dude’s English is not the best.

Turns out the last TV set he owned was a Rubin 714.

Finest Soviet Era TV TECHNOLOGIES!

So we start talking about TV’s

“JSD, if I can afford, I would very much like the color TV”

“Well um…that really isn’t an option. You can’t get a black and white TV”

“I only have a couple of thousand USD….how many months is wait period to get tv once purchased in US”

“Oh for the love of god Fil…now you have to be taking a piss”

...

I kinda want one of those.

fleshwound_NPG

in soviet TV the TV watches you

herodotus450

I see they took the TV question off the green card test smghd “make americas TVs great again”

Horatio Cornblower

Take him shopping and get him a nice Samsung 42″ HD for about $800, then tell him it’s customary in the US for him to buy you one as well.

You’ve earned it.

King Hippo

The Ben one too many forcies HARF

Afternoon football peoples. Currently posted up at a bar watching this…”game”.

Horatio Cornblower

Apparently Miami’s entire defense is expressing solidarity with Kiko Alonso by not using their hands while trying to tackle.

Sharkbait

JPP approves.

steelers crazy after all these years

Love that Jesse James still gets the HEEEEEETH chant from a smattering of Yinzer fans

Horatio Cornblower

The second half of this game seems like an excellent time to go to the gym, where I can look forward to watching of all those people whose New Year’s resolutions included getting in better shape wander around like lost sheep, or using various pieces of equipment in heretofore unexpected and potentially life-threatening ways.

I can’t wait for February, when they all disappear.

...

I go to a smaller more expensive gym, so there are fewer of those folks, but classes are all overloaded right now with a number of people I don’t recognize and it’s a bit annoying.

Horatio Cornblower

The other day I had to tell someone to turn a piece of equipment around before they snapped their neck.

The Maestro

Fucking lol that Jesse James caught that one. The Dolphins are clownfrauds in every single way.

...

They’re this year’s Bengals.

Redshirt

Hey! At least they keep it close before they fuck over their fans! Everyone forgets about foreplay.

King Hippo

I suppose this is what you get when you commit that much salcap resources to Suh and a QB who really isn’t a franchise dude.

Fronkenshteen

Westgate in Vegas already has Hou @ NE and Pitt @ KC up on the Big Board. No odds yet..

Opening line: Atl -4.5 vs Sea. O/U 51.
Sea & Under?

ballsofsteelandfury

Not so sure about the under, but definitely SEA.

Horatio Cornblower

I’d take Atlanta strictly because I’m convinced the referees will over-correct against Seattle for all the fuck-ups in their favor during the Lions game.

The NFL is awesome.

Shogun Marcus

That sounds like…A CONSPIRACY!!1!!!

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

It’s good to see Steve Smith teaching all those kids how to behave better after punching them as babies.

Brocky

Dear god the memes write themselves

King Hippo

yes, I’m sure they did a completely thorough and 100% safe job in that 3 minute evaluation of the ded QB

...

In honor of this weekend’s terrible football, I’ve selected Off Color’s Bare Bear as my beer of choice. I like it because in addition to being one of the few Finnish style beers brewed in Chicago, its label features a bear with its legs spread and crotch pixelated. The label is still less obscene than the Bears’ 2016 campaign.

“This quarterback has to come out of the game. He’s so addled he can barely communicate.”
“Doctor, you’re on the wrong sideline. It was Miami’s quarterback who got hit.”

Shogun Marcus

“What the hell is Harf?”
“Ever watch the smurfs?”

Brocky
Shogun Marcus

In his defense, Moore saw 5 open receivers on that throw.

WCS

2nd and 27? NFL BLITZ!

Redshirt

Do I have to root for the Steelers to beat the Patriots? Can’t I just root for a never ending game of overtime after overtime?

Brocky

Eh, y this point can the Steelers get any more annoying?

They are definitely the lesser of 2 evils there

Redshirt

I’d like a minute or two for rebuttal, if I may…

I also enjoy bounciness

/Roger Goodell instinctively fines James Harrison for that hit

Shogun Marcus

I’d be shocked if that didn’t happen. But Goodell has to hand deliver it to his house for it to count.

Jesus God, Matt Moore’s grandkids are gonna feel that one.

Shogun Marcus

Holy shit. I felt that.

Unsurprised

I just went through all my joke and Simpsons macros, and the unifying factor of the ones I picked out is: Futility.

Anyway, fuck this shit. I’m going to take a walk out in the sleet and snow.

Goddamnit, Steelers, save it for Alex Smith and his sideline tiptoe dancing bullshit.
