We’re almost there, another Sunday in the books. I hate this as much as you guys do, but the shitty week’s finish line is in sight.
But first we gotta get past this one tonight.
No, those aren’t my words. That’s what I would expect to be overheard in the Gigantes’ locker room right about now. Probably the front office, as well.
But take heart Giants, there’s always a chance to turn it around.
But probably not this week. Sorry guys.

NYG @ Denver – 8:30pm – NBC
Injuries and record don’t affect Giants’ confidence (Giants.com)
Well, it should.
Already behind the 8 ball with an 0-5 start, the Giants’ injuries on both sides of the ball have piled up. Among others, WRs OBJ, Dwayne Harris, Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard….all out. And the bodies they replace them with will be facing the Donks’ top ranked defensive unit. Sad Eli is sad.
They’ve also got plenty of wounded out on the defensive side of the ball. As well as as the suspension of CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (hide the furniture!!!!).
So I’m happy for the Giants that they are still able to at least lie about being so confident. That’s commitment.
The Donks’ Trevor Siemian hasn’t exactly been tearing it up thru the air so far (though he’s had his moments), but that could change tonight against the Gigantes’ patchwork depth chart. And even if it doesn’t, the Donks still should be able to run the ball, control the clock, and win this one without too much sweat.
But I think Siemian will use this opportunity as a springboard, at least for this week.

The Line : Donks -13.0, o/u 38
Take the Donks, give the points.
But don’t go anywhere near that o/u. Not this week.
Here’s your scores from earlier today if you missed them.

Ape’s “YOINK” was a perfect caption.
So I just picked up a bottle of Bookers bourbon. Holy fuck, is it delicious
I’m on my way over.
Did you ever see that pirate ship drawing from the Oregon Brewers Festival I linked to a while back?
No, I did not!
This is pretty cool.
DARKWING!

Poor O-line play? Check.
That could literally describe any team except for the P*ts

Yeah – those are tire fires.
As opposed to the river being on fire in Cleveland.
That is a piss poor People’s Elbow.

FYI, the sliding people’s elbow is the best of his career. Anything else is pedestrian at best.
Also, Matt Stafford is Mankind.
Stafford wishes he was ever that skinny.
And his cholesterol level is The Undertaker.
Well, Arizona continues it’s agenda to control its own destiny before unexplainably shitting the bed in late December, making the whole season nothing other than an exercise to blow their ability to draft a QB at the top of next year’s draft.
And since my FF team is going up in flames, I’m really just hear to say hi.
Something about Arizona snowbirds who should all fucking die.
They hate the very existence of our public school system.
So did the Jet’s score a game-changing touchdown?
“Basically almost, but you’re doing great.”
Jerry Jones is a fascist.
@Hippo please don’t take any of the nasty things I say tonight about the Broncos seriously or personally.
no worries, dude. I will be yelling at the teevee box, and I will only yell at you in a make-with-teh-jokes way, promise
I’m touched by your mutual respect for one another.
Now shut up and kiss.
Nobody was ever that polite to me during a Cowboy’s game.
/sniff…
I wish only the worst possible things on the mothers of all Cowboys fans, no disrespect.
McManus. Top notch entry man. Shitty kicker, though.
I grudgingly like this because excellent callback. No idea what is giving our kicker the yips, he was like our best footballist last season (non-Black Hipster category).
All kickers in the NFL are pretty much the same, but there’s a certain element of luck involved and they can either just have a bad run or get in their own heads and fuck up. The only real difference is range. But good last year probably equals mean reversion this year. This is Zymm theory of kickists.
Thank goodness for little mercies.
oh godfuckingdamnit
Heya
Yo
Patriots would have gotten a flag for that.
NO SHIT THEY WOULDA
Charles with one helluva block
But enough about that time Josh Charles advised Sabrina Lloyd not to take that meeting with Harvey Weinstein.
Hippo, to answer your fly-zapper question a few threads ago, this thing will nuke whatever goes it’s way. I put little pieces of ‘naner in the bottom tray to attract the fruit flies, worked like a champ.
I will buy that fucker next spring, then

This may also become a nice Kwanzaa gift for various family members
Maybe that’s what my zapper is missing. Fucking flies just cruise around avoiding it as if they understood that it means their death.
I love General Electric commercials. They are about as accurate in describing working for GE as Michael Bey films are at describing reality.
The reason why the GE shareholders love Molly so much is because her robots allowed them to lay off more than 40 workers and bumped their stock value by 0.001%.
I totally thought you were going with a different definition of Molly before reading the second half of that
Data is holding up, I think it was checking scores that used a chunk of it, cause ads
Nothing like a good shot of ManningFace. That’s the same expression Fredo always got whenever Mama got a bad head cold.
The music from this King Kong Volkswagen commercial is the same as from the ending credits of Boogie Nights.
What I’m saying is that I’m not used to hearing that song without having seen a giant prosthetic dong first.
That’s some Pavlovian shit right there
“I’m a star.” [that’s it, that’s the end.]

Do a giant prosthetic dong dance for this missus, surely that gets you out of burble? Especially is company is over.
Huh, in German it’s spelled ‘Moscau’
Correction ‘Moskau’
Yeah…I was about to say something.
These are the nights I regret not working evenings anymore. I gotta limit myself because I don’t do the hangover thing all too well these days.
mine seem to last until like 4-6pm now
It’s nice when a defensive TD changes the feel of the match and triggers ManningFace. I’m just sayin, Von and pals…
A Derby catch for Scotchy
So I’m expecting to get into deep bourble tonight.
you lost at home to the Shitty Clippers, you owe BOLTMAN! at least that much
Love the Woodstock VW nostalgia pitch for that hot 60-85 demographic.
Oh that was for the 20-somethings, and they don’t even know it.
These millennials these days want their Smart cars and their… I can’t finish that sentence, Smart cars are the bane of existence. Also that Scion iQ from across the street that parks on our block which is already enough of a pain in the ass to get parking when we’re not getting sideswiped by whoever.
Too bad they never realized that was all the courtesy of Hitler.
That’s the beauty of it being the hippie car of choice. Also serial killers, but that makes more sense.
Ted Bundy FTW!

I thought for a minute Our Equine Lord and Saviour had the same mango cap as me, but the bill of mine is navy.
I’m just about out of data, I probably won’t buy more, so I’ll cath up with you suckers on the ground later on
Enjoy.
why are we getting good Elisha?
That can’t last a whole game
Don’t worry, there’s a whole 2nd half for derps!
Well that’s why the Giants can’t score… Mike Sullivan can’t coach them and the Penguins at the same time.
I bet the penguins are mad about losing Fluery who is–
(checks wobsite for record)
just placed on IR…
a giant piece of merde?
Darkwa Duck ain’t supposed to catch passes
*looks at earlier game scores*
Football is quite odd
Odder than usual today. I could have used 2 cigarettes after RedZone today.
/sometimes hate that smoking never did nuttin’ for me
Garret Boles mumbling through that role call legit sounded like he called himself Goebbels.
He has flashbacks sometimes
A young Roger Moore single-handily defeats the entirety of Chairman Mao’s navy.
That junk doesn’t float, pal.
Well, not anymore…
Good morning! I like how Yahoo thinks there’s a 2 percent chance that Delanie Walker will score -12 or so points. Anyway, time to watch y’all watching football!
But doesn’t looking at us just make it weird?
Good morning? Kegs ‘n eggs it is, I guess.
Gonna be real interesting when the Giants win by 24.
Shut your whore mouth or I will pull for the Cubs
/will NEVAR do that
//unless they play the SAWX
///then will just kill self
loogat the triggared snowflaek
This wuz supposed to be safe space ,, mah RA told me so
I hate to praise Andy Reid…but he was right to go for the TD. The game flow changes if they take the chip shot, you can’t just assume PIT punts and they get that quick score. VERY unlikely. Plus field position is very different, etc.
I, for one, enjoyed the decision.
Me too; they would have had the lead after the touchdown. One of the few times he’s been reckless/ over aggressive.
But even if you just do a yards for yards thing – PIT’s next drive would have ended in FG range had they started from their 25 instead of their 3 (they punted from between KC’s 40-45, IIRC).
By far the most likely scenario is PIT goes up 15-6 and kicks off. At least Andy paid his money and took his shot.
Nope, the offense was getting it going and you have to go with that. KC moved the ball right down the field and scored a TD; your scenario is not as likely.
Defenses are always softer in the NFL late with a 2-score lead, too. We saw that the one time KC had it down one score.
You can’t just be addition and subtraction with it. I would have taken the FG on 2nd and 1 from the 23 for sure, probably from the 13…but from the 3 you have to try to get 7. The maths (in my view) dictate it.
but it wouldn’t be crazy to kick FG or anything, I just think Reid deserves support for making a ballsy call (that was probably mathematically correct).
oh, Von gon’ force some ManningFace, buhlee dat!
I’ll bet that thing is great for getting that itch you can never reach.
You ready FOAR THIS!!???@@
Thank you PittsBLEERG
I can’t wait for Rodgers’ injury to allow the Vikings to run through the division, and then miss a 25-yard field goal down two at the buzzer in the Divisional Round, and be able to watch Drew literally burn all of DC down as a result.

So, the NFL is cancelling the season after monday night, in tribute to Aaron Rodgers, right?
His injury is clearly worse than 9/11
I seem to have a minor scraped knuckle wound. Perhaps in my parenting angst, I punched a wall last night, in my sleep, or this morning thanks to Everton?

Jackin it on the carpet again?
nah, I wouldn’t be jackin’ it with all this football on

Houston and New York in a battle of bats and angry men. It’s like the Dallas Buyers’ Club.
Highly likely to win FF.
Against Don T.
Because he has Rodgers.
I also have jordy and montgomery.
Bleh.
so….savour your last win?
I am reminded of the words of the great clerk Dante Hicks. I’m not even supposed to be here today.
/had no ff interest prior to dfo. Goddamn ye merry gentlemen (and ladies).
it is the best and worst thing to ever happen to one
I have to make up about 28 pts on Brocky with Denver D Smash!!!! tonight, and Indy FG fest tomorrow.
I got dis.
hehehehehehe (I don’t got dis)
In a completely unrelated matter….
Fuck you Kirk Cousins and Le’Veon Bell.
And you have electricity and unlimited fresh water.
Jesus Christ, that’s a stupid asshole question from Peter King. How about, “My life isn’t a fucking morality play for you to get your condescending writer nuts off on. It’s my fucking life. I’m a football player, not Jesus Christ.”
Its really fitting to see all these “should be retired” players in Arizona today having success.
It was like watching an episode of “Golden Girls” but with more child abuse references.
With so many ex-Bengals, I half-joked it was a Bengals Recovery Halfway House.
Arizona is a bit of Oakland East or Las Vegas South lately.
Donks WOO!!!!!!!!
/getting ready early
Take a shot evert time “Manning Face” makes an appearance.

This thread is going to turn into a baseball thread so quickly, it’s not going to be funny.
But we can make it funny!
It can be somewhat funny.
