NFC Championship Open Thread

Here we are.  Scotchy has, for some strange reason,  been locked out of Word Press,  so he can’t write up the Open Thread.

That pisses me off because:

1) I love his intros

2) I love Canada and Canadien histoire.

3) I’m literally in bed writing this on my phone and I’m just wanting to stay in bed and listen to the raindrops and watch some football.

First up,  the Falcons host the Packers in what is sure to be a high-scoring even affair.

/braces himself for 6-3 at the half and then one team rattles off 30 unanswered in the second.

Who will win? Of that I’ve no idea.  Who do i want to win? Well,  that gets a bit tricky.  This game really should be the second game so that i know who to root for.

If the Steelers were to pull off the upset and win,  I’d want the weaker opponent,  but if the weaker opponent wins and New England wins,  then we’re just handing them the trophy already.

Fuck you, Goodell for scheduling the game like this! Well,  to be fair,  FUCK YOU GOODELL is as good a way as any to end a post.  200 words on the dot.  Enjoy  game!

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

The Packers defense knows the guys in red are on the other team, right?

Brocky

there’s a trump joke in there somewhere

Shogun Marcus

But red means DON’T tackle!

Smithchez

Ah, shit. Did we use up all our “good game” luck last week?

King Hippo

TOUCHBACK is some bullshit, though.

King Hippo

they should mark it on the 1. momentum play.

the Alpha and the Amoeba

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Brocky

green bay fans are now arguing that that’s a safety.

...

I know better than to get confident, but if the Packers go full derp today will be a good day.

Brocky

I know right?

herodotus450

But his “momentum” “carried” him in “accidentally.” Somenoec call Heisenberg.

Brocky

isn’t there a rule saying if momentum takes a defender in the endzone while committing a takaway that its a touchback?

Dunstan

Are we sure that isn’t a safety?

King Hippo

GRITfumbre!!!!!!!!

Smithchez

WHITE MAN CANT CARRY

King Hippo

HANDS 2 SMALL ,, ppl forget that

Fronkenshteen

TY ded

...

I kinda wish I had started watching this game on some hallucinogens so I can pretend a bunch of a ketchup and mustard bottles have come to life and are battling across my table.

Doktor Zymm

I like it! You can also add in some mayo and white bread!

Unsurprised

But Flacco didn’t make the playoffs

...

That’s what Buck and Aikman would look like!

“THIS GUY AARON RODGERS, I CALL HIM AMTRAK…BECAUSE HE’S PULLED MORE TRAINS THAN SOUTHERN PACIFIC!”

the Alpha and the Amoeba

Yanno, my all time favorite description of Aaron Rodger’s passes is “a frozen rope”. Idk why, but it just fits so well.

King Hippo

pearl necklaces all over the field

Smithchez

Quick, somebody give me a reason to care who wins this game! I’m currently far too sober and the booze isn’t arriving for another 15 minutes.

Unsurprised
Smithchez

Barcelona? Christ, I miss one day of news and ANOTHER team moved?

ThursdaySkyGoddess

Every time they show that fucker’s face.

So, I’m sort of arbitrarily rooting for Atlanta, since all 3 of the other teams remaining have won a Super Bowl recently. PARITY.

Unsurprised

I’d hope Brett Favre gets dick cancer, but who’d notice?

Romonobyl

Anyone with Twitter.

the Alpha and the Amoeba

Don’t be a hatre

Brocky

not his wife, that’s for sure.

I wonder if that would lead to a situation where Deanna is caught sexting someone.

Doktor Zymm

Brett : “That pump I ordered is finally working!”
Medical Doctor : “No, that’s just dick cancer”

ThePirateSloth

Both The Lady Pirate and her son are working today, I have the entire house to myself. As such, there’s plenty of Rainier in the fridge, plenty of whiskey in my (still considered morning) coffee, plenty of greenery to consume, and plenty of tasty food to cook for myself.

All with no pants on. Life is good sometimes.

herodotus450
Romonobyl

So are you making a salad or using that greenery on a big hero sandwich?

Oh…

Unsurprised

I can be there by halftime

the Alpha and the Amoeba

Welp, I guess it was too much to expect that the falcons wouldn’t notice that half our D backs are just scarecrows in jerseys.

Brocky

oh you poor thing, at least you get scarecrows.

chicago has a bunch of pipe cleaners playing o line

Brocky

there’s the classic green bay reffing i’m used to

Shogun Marcus

It might help if someone told the defense you get 4 downs.
/if I hafta hear anymore “bend, don’t break” b.s.

Unsurprised

Almost as stupid as “they go low, we go high.”

Anyway, fuck politics. I’m done with that. But idiots are idiots about everything, so those overlap.

I hope Atlanta wins the Super Bowl with Sanu playing a big part and then he gets a sneaker deal and releases The Sanu Shoe and it’s popular enough for a sequel, The Sanu Shoe Two

ThePirateSloth

He can also start a trend setting haircut, The Sanu Do

Romonobyl

Don’t forget the inevitable dance craze – Do the Sanu!

Unsurprised

And just as I sent that last comment – shitty non-catch of a perfectly good throw.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I haven’t seen Falcons commit such a pair of egregious drops since the director’s cut of “Return of the King” with the downer ending.

King Hippo

fuck a duck, ATL is gonna run train on GB, huh? And I can’t even get crunk, because my annual de-humanizing “justify your existence” partner review is tomorrow.

Unsurprised

Just give them each the best blowjob ever

Unsurprised

So this is what good football looks like. I think I remember this from long ago. Like twenty years ago, maybe? My mind is hazy in my old age

Brocky

kamen rider?

...

I’m still chuckling at PFTCommenter’s “draw Muhammad” joke.

Brocky

much like trump protesters, I really wonder why now shank’lor shows up, instead you know, when it would have done some good.

Sharkbait

Praise be to Shan’kor

Unsurprised

Fuck. Is DFO slower than Sessions’s DOJ investigating civil rights violations for anyone else?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yes.

Romonobyl

I was afraid it was my new laptop machine.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

DR. MRS. DEADLY, J.D.: We should cook up those brussels sprouts – we can have them with the balsamic fig vinegar!

RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: Great idea, let’s do that!

DR. MRS. DEADLY, J.D.: [leaves]

Romonobyl

That smell won’t leave the house for days, and I don’t mean just from the cooking.

Romonobyl

Oh sure…NOW you miss you simpering imbecile!!!!

ThursdaySkyGoddess

Just in time for some Shank’hor!

King Hippo

she is yo’ baby!!!

Old School Zero

HAIL SHANK’LOR

King Hippo

to da right!! to da right!!!!

King Hippo

That was a hell of a throw, given the situation.

Also, FUCK YOU Crosby, for ruining Aaron’s effort.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

SHAN’KHOR HAS RISEN!

Doktor Zymm

THIS GAME I CALL IT THE CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOOD OF AUSTIN BECAUSE IT’S GONNA BE A SHOOTOUT
