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!

Did not touch the Bear

King Hippo

My wife bought our dog a stuffed animal squeaky toy and I’m pretty sure that if I say “Honey the dog is really tearing your beaver apart” even one more time I’m gonna get divorced.

Sharkbait

Worth it?

Horatio Cornblower

Nah. She’s a keeper.

Sharkbait

How the FUCK ya doin?

Ill tell you how Im doin.
Had a job interview today to GTFO from my shithole. I’ll know tomorrow how it went.

Now for semi-decent football!

WCS

Good luck. Fuck the Patriots. This is not even semi-decent foobawl.

the Alpha and the Amoeba

Be fair, between the two teams, I’d say it averages out to semi-decent

Romonobyl

Well, hope your interview went better than this game.

Spur

Folks.

Romonobyl

Move along, nothing to see here.

Maybe if we call this game a bag of dicks enough, Aaron will take note and start playing with more gusto.

WCS

The HERP is strong with this one.

DontHair

I hate that I love this team.

Horatio Cornblower

You’d literally be better off cutting.

King Hippo

why not BOTH??

hippofant

Call timeout. Throw checkdown. Why?

Makes me wonder how much money Houston will pony up for this Glennon guy next year. Gotta keep up appearances!

Horatio Cornblower

It’s fitting that the Bears are playing this game in their color rush uniforms, because from what little I’ve seen they drew up their plays with crayons.

LemonJello

Crayons? I think they’ve been smearing their shit on the walls…

King Hippo

well shit, take the 5 yards if just gonna run a give up play

King Hippo

why is Foxy no longer festively plump? Did he get CancerAIDS w/o telling anybody? That’s hardly the NFL way…

DontHair

Drive three derp three

the Alpha and the Amoeba

Knit one, Purl two

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

My AARP commercial is being presented without sound, presumably to recreate the experience of their target audience.

LemonJello

The next one will have the sound at roughly the same as a flight of B-52s taking off.

the Alpha and the Amoeba

You underestimate the POWER of their hearing aids

King Hippo

It’s funny ’cause so many elements resonate with me!

theeWeeBabySeamus

What?

Dick E. Phuck

There’s something oddly appropriate about the AARP sponsoring a Thursday night football game.

Horatio Cornblower

The Yankees have hit 3 HRs for Sonny Gray, the pitcher they never, ever score any runs for.

He’s responded by giving up 8 runs in 4 innings.

Revenge is indeed a dish best served cold.

the Alpha and the Amoeba

So, is noone going to comment on how far the ball bounced after hitting Glennon’s thighs? They must be rock-hard from supporting his long neck!

LemonJello

“Rock hard? Tell me more.”
-A. Rodgers, Green Bay WI

theeWeeBabySeamus

My balls bounce off my thighs every night.
You don’t hear me bragging about it tho.

DontHair

The gingeraffe is a fucking unmitigated disaster. Will be drinking tonight.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I like to refer to him as “Spud”.

King Hippo

If I ever accept a Commissar role, the penalty FOAR playing, singing, or humming “Sweet Caroline” will be instant death. No trial, no defenses available.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I support this.

Col. Duke LaCross

Neil Diamond included! I saw him in concert last year, dude sang it TWICE in the same show!

the Alpha and the Amoeba

Commissar, you say?

Bears proving last week’s early game on-the-field shitting was no fluke.

Smithchez

Informal poll. Could Mike Glennon be doing more to get benched if he were actually trying (assuming he isn’t already)?

Yes or No

King Hippo

MAYBE

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That was pretty funny, but it would have been funnier if it had hit him in the groin.

WCS

And it starred George C. Scott.

Col. Duke LaCross

Fuck Mike Glennon.

Bears Fumble II: The DERPINING

Redshirt

I just looked up. Did the Center snap the ball FORWARDS?

the Alpha and the Amoeba

To be fair, he’s from Australia, and we need to respect their cultural differences.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s the Bears, so that would not be an unreasonable assumption, but no.

Romonobyl

Da fuq?

Oh, come on! What is Clinton-Dix supposed to do. Stop in mid air?!

Hit the “PAUSE” button, of course!

To clarify, my wife is nominally a Bears fan, but her interest level in football could best be described as one-point-five Cutlers.

Horatio Cornblower

That’s a lot more than Jay’s interest in football.

Romonobyl

That Kia commercial would be a lot better if it was a disheveled-looking gerbil on the run from Richard Gere.

the Alpha and the Amoeba

Thank you so much for that. I laughed harder at that than anything else I’ve seen this week.

Horatio Cornblower

Gary Sanchez is just not a good catcher of pitches.

WCS

This Bears team beat the Stillers.

King Hippo

get this man a Fox wink.

Redshirt

I think the Steelers beat the Steelers. The Bears were just there.

the Alpha and the Amoeba

More like the Still-births, AMIRITE?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The Bears have a very unsual way of wishing my wife a happy birthday.

King Hippo

Depends, is she a Biscuit Truther?

the Alpha and the Amoeba

…I’m confused, is your wife a Bears or a Packers fan?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Bears. I’m guessing they are hoping she won’t feel like her world is changing too quickly?

the Alpha and the Amoeba

Honestly, I wish the Bears were better. It’s no fun having a rival when they’re in a slump. This is what distinguishes the Bears from the Vikings. The Vikings can go die in a fire and I will piss on the ashes and laugh.

Redshirt

“Don’t pick, Green Bay,” I said. “They struggled against Cincinnati,” I said.

I stupid.

the Alpha and the Amoeba

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Shogun Marcus

Someone call the Canadian lady, there’s a giraffe being abused!

Bogdanski

Meh, it’s just not the same when it isn’t cutler.

Romonobyl

I know how you feel. Romo was incredibly frustrating at times, but holy shit was he entertaining.

Romonobyl

Well…

Brocky

If the bears go 3 and out, I’m busting open the everclear

Smithchez

What if they do that?

I can’t find the CB4 clip of Chris Rock trying to undo a bra, so here’s a terrible imgur of my favorite part of the movie.

Romonobyl

I hate that! Whoever invented the front closing bra deserves an award.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

One fun trick is convincing a girl to let you practice opening it one-handed. You get valuable practice, plus boobs.

King Hippo

DAVANTE!!!!

King Hippo

I essentially has 4 #2 WRs, so somebody gets benched every week. On Monday, it were Davante but I reconsidered.

Horatio Cornblower

Fuck it, I’ll admit it: I’m still watching baseball, and I’m going to leave the TV entirely and go take the dog for a walk.

Thursday night football just does nothing for me.

Romonobyl

And miss the rivalry?

Horatio Cornblower

The what now? I didn’t hear anything about a rivalry. Wow, so unlike the TV people to underplay something like a rivalry. You’d think someone would have said something.

Romonobyl

They said something about it, then started in about some anthem thing.
