Your Third Round of NFL Action Open Thread

Good golly Miss Molly, the hits, they keep on coming! The western divisions of each conference get a tussle though one might be a wee bit more relevant that t’udder. TO THE GAMES!

 

SF/ARI: Carlos Hyde has a banged up hip but is expected to play. Still, look for rook rb Matt Breida to get at least 10 touches so that he can lighten the load. If the Niners running game falters then all is for naught because the graceless inadequacy of Bobby Hoying mans the qb spot. Cards qb Palmer had himself a game last week by leaning heavily on wr Fitzgerald. The faint hope among Arizony backers is that Carson can keep it going for a period of time.

Phi/LAC: Rb’s Blount and Smallwood (RIP, Tiny Darren) were happy to see the Chiefs KHunt tear the Chargers a new a-hole in the run game to the tune of 172 yards on just 10 carries. LA’s newest embarrassment is allowing an average of 146 yards per game on the ground. The over/under on the game is 43-that’s the line on how many paying customers will bother to show their pieholes at the game.

NYG/TB: These guys have but one win to show between them but share some ugly tendencies. The Giants lost on a 61 yarder as time expired and the Bucs were doubled up by the Vikes 34-17. All Pro cb Jenkins is back among the healthy and may have to take on Mike Evans. Eli Apple matches up better size-wise but not ability-wise. We’ll see. Perhaps Evans can do the G-men another solid like he did last year and drop the ball 4/5 times. I’m not holding my breath for that to happen though.

Oak/Den: Speaking of dropped passes, the league leader is one Amari Cooper with six. There will be an extra burden on him today because it looks as though cohort Crabtree is a no-go. Say a prayer for Broncs’ right tackle Menelik Watson-he’s given up a half-dozen sacks already this year and will be staring at Khalil Mack all game long.

 

Get it done, you rascally rascals.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Why does Mrs. Allen buy so much peanut butter?

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Counter-point to Brick’s (entirely correct) opinion of BBT: The Good Place. It’s surprisingly good, and somewhat weird.

The 49ers are an absolutely atrocious franchise.

And ARI looks poised to lost to them.

King Hippo

all of a sudden, EJ Manuel is Tom fucking Brady

hippofant

No, Jared Goff is Tom fucking Brady.

King Hippo

THAT I am ok with!

Please go for two here.

Dick E. Phuck

Aaaaaand missed, fuck.

Horatio Cornblower

How are Jeremy Piven’s 15 minutes not up?

herodotus450

Maybe it’s just me (hint: it’s not me) but these games suuuuuuuuck. And I’m not even watching any of them.
/Might be me.

King Hippo

Riley Dixon, have a game!

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

I love celebrations, but my God, I have always found first down ones to be tacky.

herodotus450

Down 24 in the 4th quarter but you just made a tackle for a 2 yard loss? Let’s see that belly jiggle

Brick Meathook

Have you ever seen an episode of “Big Bang Theory?” It’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s like a computer wrote it.

(CORRECTION: It is amongst the stupidest things I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen some stupid things folks)

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

AND it is the most popular show on teh teeeveee.

herodotus450

Almost as stupid as the eponymous theory amirite #theearthis6000yearsand6daysold

Doktor Zymm

Language generation AI is pretty good now, a computer could write a much better sitcom

Beastmode Ate My Baby

/pours one out for Otto Man

Horatio Cornblower

BAZINGA!

WCS
...

It’s just a standard sitcom for mass consumption. I think it’s dumb and its portray of Sheldon is actually problematic, but it’s hardly the stupidest show I’ve ever seen.

“Why does my character title say, ‘Homo with Asperger’s?'”

Horatio Cornblower

My daughter is at the movies with friends, watching ‘It’. My wife is going out to get a red balloon to hang on the mailbox.

We should never have been allowed to have kids.

blaxabbath

Good stuff.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

It’s revenge for that “crack whore” comment, isn’t it? I went to bat for you on that one, man. I wanted that to be the banner forever.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Since when do we have a problem with crack whores around here? I swear I don’t even know who you people are anymore.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

This year, there’s a new “Worst Job in America”, displacing the old number one for the last five consecutive years – “Crack Whore”. The new number one: “Assistant Crack Whore”

King Hippo

THERE is your idea for “Dirty Jobs” Mike Rowe.

Dick E. Phuck

“That guys cum tasted like whole milk.”
– Mike Rowe

Doktor Zymm

We fancy, so we call the cocaine whores

Horatio Cornblower

I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.

King Hippo

I’d give you two the Congressional Medal of Honor if I could

blaxabbath

“I can!” -DJT

Doktor Zymm

And I seem to have left an injured player in my lineup. Oh well, this is a good thing, it’s a built-in excuse for suckitude!

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

I probably told this story already but at a Seattle Museum they have a sound booth that simulates the sound at Seabird Stadium. I had to fucking scream so my father could hear what I was saying over it.

King Hippo

I hope you were shouting “The Jews did 9/11” FOAR max authenticity

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

“THE GOVERNMENT DEMOLISHED THE KINGDOME!”

King Hippo

Black Hipster untouched to the QB? That works!

blaxabbath

THUG HIPSTER #MAGA

Dick E. Phuck

Star Linebacker for the Denver Virtue Signalers.

King Hippo

u noe it!!

herodotus450

Jesus, can we get trump to throw a tantrum about touchdowns so that teams might start scoring them instead of all these field goals?

Unsurprised

I really do hope he gets so angry tweeting he dies of a stroke on the toilet.

King Hippo

HE DOESN’T DESERVE TO DIE LIKE THE KING!!

blaxabbath

I’d prefer he end up braindead in a coma, lying in the center of the Mall, kept alive by machines while his supporters threaten Civil War if anyone pulls the plug.

He can be our Lenin!

Unsurprised

That’s even better

Doktor Zymm

I suspect covfefe was a mini-toilet stroke so there’s a real chance this happens

Dick E. Phuck

Kill away, Mr McManus.

Doktor Zymm

Okay, looks like I won’t be watching any football. I’m gonna go get breakfast then go look at some temples and eventually hang out with a drink my the pool. I think I’ll manage.

Unsurprised

Not watching football? Are you sure you’re not just in Los Angeles?

Brick Meathook

????? WE HAVE FIVE TEAMS

Doktor Zymm

If you score a TD, but it’s in LA and there’s no one there to see it, did it ever really happen?

Brick Meathook

Are you sure that any of these games really happen?

Doktor Zymm

Nah, there’s rain forest here. Also more monkeys and an active volcano.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Sounds like LBJ talking about Hawaii.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Enjoy yoself Dok. Don’t forget about us peasants.

Doktor Zymm

Hey, someone’s gotta harvest the mangoes!

theeWeeBabySeamus

I so wish that was a euphemism.

Horatio Cornblower

You’re a true hero.

Dick E. Phuck

Apparently these professional football players on the Giants forgot how to tackle.

King Hippo

I would like to suggest to Coach Joseph that 19-7 is just fine with EJ Manuel

King Hippo

or he could doink the goddamned chipshot

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Move the posts!

King Hippo

Battle FOAR L.A. update: “YAY, visiting side!!”

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I am officially down the Brockmire rabbithole and way more entertained than by the NFL.

Horatio Cornblower

That show was fantastic. They haven’t started the 2nd season have they? I am way behind on my TeeVee watchin’

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I don’t believe so yet.

Brick Meathook

Just for fun they should send this play into Rivers, just to see how contorted his face can get:

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m going to interpret this as a diagram for scissoring to take my mind off the Raiders game.

blaxabbath

Chargers couldn’t fill a high school hockey facility either.

Unsurprised

Boobies

herodotus450

He’d be right to be confused; where are the trapezoids?

King Hippo

Romo is just shitting all over OAK. I could kiss him.

hippofant

What’s he saying? (I’m baffled with how bad Oakland’s offense has been this year.)

King Hippo

how obvs the fake punt situation is (two scores down, late Q3) then getting a taunting call after it goes nowhere “are you kidding me??” his go-to phrase

...

How bad is tonight’s SNF game going to be?

blaxabbath

God – there’s more?

Just kneel.

King Hippo

Indy wins.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

That’s the worst-case scenario. Not impossible, mind you…

King Hippo

I believe in Black HODOR! and he thrives against pressure. Always has (at NC State).

theeWeeBabySeamus

My opinion….I don’t think Indy wins, but that line is ripe.

As I’ve already mentioned in tonight’s SNF open so stop stealing my thunder Hippo!!!!!!

Gratliff

Rivers is going to have a fucking stroke

Horatio Cornblower

“I wish he’d do that around the house once and a while”
-The tattered remains of Mrs. Rivers’s uterus
/this works more often than I thought.

King Hippo

followed by a taunting call ON THE PUNTER

King Hippo

punt woopsie

Dick E. Phuck

Blount, 69 yard run. Nice.

King Hippo

2 yard completion on 3rd and 15

Gratliff

Blount running like a grown ass man today

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Figures. IWDB benched him on her FF team today.

King Hippo

/lets play clock run out

King Hippo

The EJ Manuel experience begins

WCS

Sort of akin to Kathy Bates performing ankle surgery.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Carr down, Raiders season over, OAK coach starts looking for new job.

blaxabbath

ARI needs to offer OAK Carson Palmer for a 2nd and a sixer of Joker Mad Energy Drink.

King Hippo

oh noes, we killt Derek Carr!

King Hippo

McManus right down the gooch!

WCS

UPDATE: Lil’er WCS passed the test easily. However, wifey’s blood pressure is up. It’s looking increasingly likely this will happen today.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Celebration bourbon!

King Hippo

you want her birthed on #RatbirdDestruction day, yeah?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Gon’ have to have words with both of you now I guess.
Jerks.

Doktor Zymm

On my hotel sports channels I have soccer, speed boat racing, F1 racing and I think that’s it

WCS

Where the hell are you? Azerbaijan?

King Hippo

LAND OF FIRE!!

Doktor Zymm

Bali this time

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Then get off the Art Monk-themed porn and stream, sister.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

I’d watch F1 but…ehhh, it sux these days.

WCS

I think this season has been a lot better than the last three, aka Which Mercedes Wins Today years.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Has it? I gave up on it over the last few years, although we did see enough of it to see Rosberg win.

Col. Duke LaCross

Except Ferrari keeps tripping over their own dicks. It’s been more entertaining, but those guys keep winning with the occasional Red Bull breakthrough.

Gratliff

Eli with the ol Maggie Simpson collapse per RedZone

Doktor Zymm

So, what all has happened today/yesterday or whenever it is that there was football?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

comment image

King Hippo

that comes back, 3rd down better be a run off left guard motherfucker

Horatio Cornblower

Romo is clearly having so much more fun talking about football than he ever did playing it.

Probably because it hurts a lot less.

King Hippo

ALSO PILLS

WCS

He doesn’t have to worry about THE OL’ DOUBLE J anymore, either.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Romo’s commentary is worth the price of admission.

King Hippo

Stephenson fucks us up the ass first play. PREDICTABLE

King Hippo

thought it would be sound roster management to swap McManus for Folk Implosion, with his warm weather and bye week done, grumble grumble

Dick E. Phuck

I’d say the Giants look like they’re in good position to win this game, but I know better, I’ve been here before. You can’t fool me, you assholes.

Spur

Raiders are ass and Bonks are only up by 6?
