Your Thursday Night NFC Central Showdown Open Thread

Green Bay is playing their third game in twelve days. Bears fans are calling for the neck of Mike Glennon. Which of these teams will be able to hide their godawful flaws the most effectively? For the answer to this and many other questions one must go… TO THE GAME!

 

BEARS/PACKERS: Chicago stung the “Can’t Play Away From Home” Steelers with a 23-17 loss last week using the deadly combo of an atrocious passing game and an effective series of prayers to the almighty. Green Bay won an OT thriller over the Bengals using the arm of Rodgers and the leg of Crosby. Kudos to both for coming up with the unlikely Vic. Now for the not-so-good news. The Packers O-line is banged up something fierce-three backups are on I.R. and both Bakhtiari and (stifles giggle) Bulaga are listed as doubtful. (“Look at Rodgers run for his life!”) He’s been sacked 13 times already and has 4 turnovers. Ty Montgomery’s effort in the running game hasn’t worked out very well so far. His longest run from scrimmage has been eight yards but he is leading all rb’s in YAC. Chicago is also looking for a bit of balance on O but the trouble is in the passing end of things. The Giraffe is becoming known as Humpty Dumpdown and this is reflected in rb Howard leading the team in receiving yards last week with (Oof!) 26. The Bears rushing attack is ranked eighth thanks to the good work of Howard and Tarik “She Fed Me Tea And Oranges That Came All The Way From China” Cohen. (“Take that, Berman!”) The hope among the faithful is that Truth Biscuit will get the start after the bye week but his receiving corps will still consist of a “Who’s That?” lineup of Kendall Wright, Deonte Thompson and Zach/Dion Miller/Sims. That’s a shit-ton of not-talent right there. But hey, the winner of the game will break the 94-94-6 won/lost deadlock. The “They’ve played each other a few times over the years” chestnut should manifest itself as tinnitus by the end of the game.

 

Go get ’em, word-wranglers!

I’m still around.

I have decided to alternate between Rick & Morty and Community episodes on Youtube.

I have not been handed an

So on Sunday I’ve got this pretty cool looking bag of real Italian pasta with a bowtie shape.

My #1 at work brought it for me when he traveled to Italy for 3 weeks.
It’s beautiful with a ribbon of sun dried tomatoes and a ribbon of spinach.

The Italian flag!

I’m gonna make an alfredo sauce with pancetta and mushrooms and pour that over the pasta.

Hell yes!
Spinach salad a little garlic bread maybe a pinot grigio?

Oh my.

laserguru

Hi everybody!

Did I miss anything?

I love South Park so much.

Yanno, once in a while I think that those guys complaining about the NFL getting wussified have a point, but then I see a play like what happened to Davante Adams, and I remember why they’re wrong.

...

Guh. Packers-Bears games aren’t even infuriating; they’re just depressing.

Unsurprised

So is life.

the Alpha and the Amoeba

The only thing depressing about this game was that vicious dirty hit on Davante Adams.

I mean, goddamnit Bears! You already sucked, did you have to add dirty to your resume?

laserguru

I saw at least one tooth.

Gonna be a hard road back.

Shit. To the waiver wire!

Beerguyrob

So that was a tooth? I thought it was fat rain drops from his helmet.

Wow. Ok, that was a blown call.

I wasn’t watching and I heard the two thuds, but I think the 2nd was a helmet into his leg.

True.

synapticmisfires

Ok, onside kick and it’s a 3 possession game!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Yahoo Just sent me an update that Davante Adams’s status has changed from healthy to doubtful. I think Yahoo’s medical team went to Gary Larson’s School for the Gifted

Senor Weaselo

So you’re saying there’s a chance?

Mr. Ayo

Doubtful refers to his future career.

Doktor Zymm

I’m confused, should I push, or pull?

Will probably go to a niners game cause they suck and thus cheap. Most Raiders ticks…more expensive,, and fairly conistent gametogame. Which should I do?

Senor Weaselo

Whichever you get cushy corporate comps to?

Unsurprised

This. Only go if you get to party in a box.

Mr. Ayo

PHRASING!

Highly doubt it, but if it happens y’all are invited

Dont get vaporized by sitting in the wrong part of Levis Stadium

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I read this as “Don To got vaporized sitting in the wrong part of Levi’s Stadium” and thought it was cold

Doktor Zymm

It’s only guys who get stabbed at niners games, right?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Define stabbed.
Meh never mind….I’m sure you’ll be fine.

Beerguyrob

I went to a Raiders game in December a couple of years back & had a delightful time. Just make sure to eat & drink before going, because the options at the stadium are literally ass & actual ass.

Bart to the colosseum is super easy. Can’t do it to Santa clara afaik.

He’s out of ink?

Unsurprised

As you can see, there’s a little bit left in the mons.

Romonobyl

That pen was obviously designed in the ’70s.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

TECHNICALLY this gif is against the rules unless there is a pen exception.

Doktor Zymm

People don’t leave Lambeau cause there is no other option. “Gee, should I watch the fourth quarter of this blowout, or should I go stand in a dark corner?”

synapticmisfires

Why ISN’T Howard out of the game? Take advantage of the long week and see if his shoulder heals, rather than give him a chance to injure it worse.

Sharkbait

Garbage time fantasy points?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Is it wrong if I’m rooting against Don_T’s fantasy players tonight?

On the one hand, I want him to be OK. On the other hand, I hate losing.

Sharkbait

Nah. There’s separation between the 2. You’re good.

Mr. Ayo

We’re all rooting for Don T.
But his fantasy team can go fuck itself.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

John Fox is a genius

Sharkbait

For what NFL tickets cost, My ass will be there the entire fucking game. Regardless of score.

Unsurprised

I got sunburn in October adhering to that principle. It was still worth it.

Col. Duke LaCross

Loggains is trying to end Howard’s season at this point.

Senor Weaselo

I guess you could say Loggains wants to put Howard on the highway to the danger zone.

Yeah, it wasn’t very good, but fuck it, it’s garbage time.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I liked this game better during the lightning delay

Doktor Zymm

Okay…it’s not just me..his nickname is the Human Joystick and it’s NOT a masturbation reference?!

That sounds like someone told Jim that as a joke and he believed it.

I’d rather be called the human tripod.

Romonobyl

I’ve got nothing but respect for otters.

Dick E. Phuck

My great uncle Immanuel was a Mohel who was in the Army, and he’d be perfectly okay with the whole anthem protest thing. #Armysnipper

Unsurprised

It’s a shame he didn’t die overseas fighting for nothing.

I hope he gets killed by a drunk driver as he’s turning into his driveway tonight.

Also, congratulations on being a sniper – the Army’s biggest cowards.

Unsurprised

What I’m saying is that he’s an asshole and I hope he fucking dies because the world will be richer for it.

hippofant

So, when you’re telling people protesting racism to “be the change”… they should just become white?

Unsurprised

Or die silently.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I agree. Disrespecting Otters is shameful.

...

It’s gonna be great the Glennon is benched, writes a terrible manifesto about how younger rookies are unfairly stealing his job, and tweets under the name “Benched4Truth.”

...

I fear no one will get this joke but I stand by making it.

Senor Weaselo

The name feels familiar, but my brain still is a bit melted.

Dick E. Phuck

Trubisky’s name sounds Jewish enough, so I think it might do him some good in the long run.

Beerguyrob

Is the playbook “The Protocols of the Elder John Fox”?

Unsurprised

Speaking of which, Fired4Truth wimped out and changed his handle to his name. Probably because if he continued using it Google was going to sue his balls off.

Spur

passing the ball up 21….fuck Greenbay

synapticmisfires

I don’t think 21 is a big enough lead that you can whip out that “unwritten rule” crap from baseball.

By all means, I think Rodgers should throw for a dozen tds against us.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

No one deserves it more

Shogun Marcus

Dallas too. And New England. Stillers too. Pretty much most of the league.

Doktor Zymm

So…while we be talking about awful injuries, hope Knox is doing okay. Horrible spine injury, and even a few years later it was good and bad.

Col. Duke LaCross

That was one of the more gruesome things I’ve ever seen on a football field.

Doktor Zymm

I don’t know how the current state of long term health care is, but if you spend any time in the NFL, you should get full lifetime health. ESPECIALLY if something awful like that happens to you. It’ll be lifelong rehab, but if the NFL doesn’t support or fund that? FUCK EM.

Unsurprised

As far as I know, long-term care is “Good luck.”

What a terrible goddamned team. Only good for pissing off Yinzers.

Ugh…I wish I was working tomorrow, because I would already be in bed right now.

synapticmisfires

Did someone change Clinton-Dix’s number on that replay? They showed the pick again, but he was wearing 29 this time.

Dunstan

Who live-streams a wedding? Or, better question, who *watches* a live stream of a wedding?

Doktor Zymm

It’s been an option on Vegas drive through weddings for ages. The short answer is….they eloped and no one was invited

Dunstan

I barely pay attention to the weddings I attend. Who’s logging in to watch Elvis administer the vows? Grandma?

Bogdanski

C’mon biscuit.

Col. Duke LaCross

Again, fuck Mike Glennon.

Senor Weaselo

Giraffeception!

Senor Weaselo

It is not as good as the brand name. The plain Stop & Shop Cola’s pretty good, but the hands-down winner is America’s Choice AC Cola. Which tastes like RC. And they might not make anymore because Waldbaum’s, Pathmark, A&P, etc. closed down.

Hey, apparently Save-A-Lot acquired them! Too bad I’m not going to Minnesota any time soon.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Damn.
