Your “It Seems Like The Super Bowl Was Just Yesterday” Thursday Night Football Season Opener Open Thread.

I guess you’re wondering why I called this meeting. I’ll tell you why but first I think we need to give a round of applause to all the dickbags that provided summer (ie., ‘unfootball’) time content on this here football-centric blog. Y’all did yeoman’s work to keep us engaged and coming back again and again. Nicely done. And now to the matter at hand. You’re here because you love football. Or maybe you hate football in that weird way that you hate your ex. Or maybe you love to hate football. Or maybe you hate that you love football. No matter-it’s back and your jaundiced eyeballs are begging to see that sweet, sweet large man on large man action. Perhaps for just a little while we can forget about those players (too many) and their penchant for domestic abuse or the brain-addling inconsistencies of the punishments meted out against them. (Okay, Zeke gets to play the first game and then his suspension kicks in? Got it.) The garbage surrounding the game is hard to take but the game itself? I do like it and commenting with you fellow woebegone souls makes it that much better. So let’s dig in and enjoy the shit out of this. TO THE GAME!

Chiefs/Pats: Good old Alex Smith. For a guy that is only behind Russell Wilson and Tom Brady in games won over the last four years he sure gets a lot of grief for being the game manager that he is. Most of the rookie qb hype that I came across in the pre-season was centered around Mitch “Truth Biscuit” Trubisky but out Kansas City way the folks are drooling over a certain Patrick Mahomes and his big-ass arm. Apparently the Chiefs cut CJ Spiller about five hours before game time so that his contract isn’t guaranteed for the entire year. I hope I’m wrong because that seems remarkably petty. The guy is on the books for 615k, for Goodell’s sake! That leaves KC with only two rb’s for the game and the starter, rook Kareem Hunt, will be joining the illustrious company of Duce Staley, Brian Westbrook, LeSean McCoy and Jamaal Charles as players that Andy Reid has run into the ground. Freaking Brady is forty and it looks as though his arm strength is still there and he’s got a full complement of toys to play with. Recent acquisition Brandin Cooks is going to stretch the field (don’t sleep on Phil Dorsett and his 4.33 speed though) so that Gronk can work the middle of the field. The guy I’m looking to have a career year is Chris Hogan-it takes a year to wash all the Buffalo Bills stink off so I think he’s ready to make some noise. Perhaps your thinking Amendola is going to be the guy? Jokes on you-simply by mentioning his name out loud you caused him to strain a hamstring.

Well, the meeting is adjourned. Go out there and do your worst/best. If there are any new commenters out there this is probably the second best place to introduce yourselves aside from the new guys post that Seamus put up a few days ago. Have at it and I’ll see you down below.

I full expected Cris to mention wilfork retiring.

Like just flat out pretending wilfork didn’t retire two years ago

WCS

The TAWMMIES will insist on WEEI that the refs were in the tank for the Chefs because Goodell was in attendance.

Horatio Cornblower

I haven’t seen a khunt debut like this since Traci Lords’s 14th birthday!

Beastmode Ate My Baby

And if DFO wasn’t on a watch list before…

ballsofsteelandfury

banner!

Brocky

the banner is gonna be stiff competition this week!

Horatio Cornblower

Well a great performance from a Khunt will stiffen the competition if you know what I’m saying.

NATO Pats Fan

Well, possibly one of the greatest games ever. Much joy among non-Pats fans, AND we face an season-long string of KHunt jokes.

Senor Weaselo

We’re an equal-opportunity website. We have dick jokes and KHunt jokes!

Dick E. Phuck

I came

Darkest Timeline Zack Morris

Don’t see those GRITTY NEW ENGLAND FANS leaving early much – unless they’re winning big because they are SO HUMBLE DIE IN A FIRE CRIS

Smithchez

“And this place has emptied out”

Oh yeah, shoot it right into my veins

...

Like 70,000 Marky Marks!

Horatio Cornblower

Oh it ain’t empty. That parking lot is going to be jammed up for a good four hours.

Because it is fucking horrible, you see.

...

Oh wow those empty stands.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

NE with a personnel penalty? That’s…weird…

Dick E. Phuck

THESE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS, I CALL THEM PAUL SHELDON. BECAUSE THEY GOT HOBBLED BY A KHUNT.

Brocky

Took me a minute, but damn that was good

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Had to look it up, but nice.

Smithchez

Wow, they really had that “on the off chance the Pats lose, we need a never-count-out-Brady-and-Belichick” package ready to go, huh

Doktor Zymm

“Maybe for the Chiefs!”
Number of pundits calling for a KC undefeated year tomorrow, over-under at 0.5 GO

Eckeaux

Logic says under, the existence of Stephen A. Smith says over.

King Hippo

That’s about 250-combined yards worth of KHunt for ya

Eckeaux

“They only won two Super Bowls since then.”

And they only cheated once!

ballsofsteelandfury

that we know of!

Dunstan

grumblemumblethatyouknowaboutgrumble

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Correction: only got CAUGHT cheating once.

Old School Zero

Cris and Al stanning as hard on the Patriots as Peter Daou does to the democratic elite.

...

You’re all missing the most important thing: The Chiefs have TWO timeouts remaining.

ballsofsteelandfury

This is really the biggest surprise of the night.

Eckeaux

There’s still two minutes left. Plenty of time for Reid to use them up.

Dunstan

Uh, Cris, doesn’t every team set its lineups….?

make it snow

Wow, for the first time ever it looks like America’s heartland will triumph over the coastal elites.

Dunstan

And it’s all thanks to a man with tiny hands

Duchess

Dante Culpepper?

Horatio Cornblower

WEEI is going to be goddamn GLORIOUS tomorrow.

Spur

This might be the best win for the Chiefs since The Battle of the Wabash

Senor Weaselo

I would’ve gone with Little Bighorn, but we’ll take it!

ballsofsteelandfury

OMG, Dunstan is not the only one that is erect.

Doktor Zymm

DAMMIT JUST THE TIP NOT SAFETY DANCE

Eckeaux

By Sunday night, either the Jets or Bills (or both!) will be ahead of New England in the standings.

I’m getting so drunk on Sunday.

WCS

Jets and Bills will tie, 4-4, but, you’re still correct.

King Hippo

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

ballsofsteelandfury

Was that a BUTTSACK?

WCS

This is enjoyable.

“The Patriots are having trouble on defense because they’re missing key players. And who is Eric Berry, by the way?”

NATO Pats Fan

Wait ’till next year!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

What people are forgetting is how good Andy Reid is coming off a bye. And the offseason is like, thirty byes in a row.

Doktor Zymm

Dear four minutes of game time, please, please don’t take 30 minutes. I’m not on west coast time yet and I still have CDT shit to do tomorrow.

Senor Weaselo

Oh, it will.

Smithchez

But he wears a backwards baseball cap! And he has a beard! AND it’s New England!?!!? How is it possible that anyone could overcome that bullshit aura?!

King Hippo

Take a good long look, Murrika, for he might not be around much longer.

Sharkbait

Well Fuck.

The Maestro

this is fucked up

Sharkbait

I do not like this

Dunstan

Ok, I am now officially erect

...

Brocky

….. I miss her

Horatio Cornblower

It’s a pretty big screen shot; I bet you can hit her.

Brocky

Lol, good one.

Seriously though, never in my life had I consistently followed a pornstar’s career before, not in a stalker way, now that she’s retired….. i don’t know how to describe it

King Hippo

Kings of Leon like this post

make it snow

In Trump’s America, the Khunt penetrates YOU!

King Hippo

Wow, good thing KC didn’t have the RB depth to bench this KHunt for that fumble…

Doktor Zymm

I don’t care that I didn’t draft him, GO KHUNT!

Brocky

So I had an idea for a weekly contribution:
Last year I would periodically write a passage from the perspective of God personally intervening to fuck me over in fantasy football.

What do you think?

ballsofsteelandfury

DO IT!!

King Hippo

I’d lovingly read it!

Senor Weaselo

I wish Zombo got flagged for two straight penalties so we could have the ZOMBO COMBO!

Dunstan

Wait, the Pats are now without Amendola and Edelman? Whose jersey will they all buy now?

Brocky

It’s only a matter of time before Hogan inexplicably becomes really good

ballsofsteelandfury

Trump?

make it snow

So long as the Chiefs can hold on to win tonight, the Berry injury shouldn’t hurt them next week when they play the Milwaukee Literally Horses.

Doktor Zymm

My Dad had an Achilles injury, and he was back to 100% within 2 weeks. Granted, 100% for him involved mostly playing video games in the basement. My parents are awesome 😀

King Hippo

Hard to believe this is the same defense from the 1st quarter, eh?
