Here we are, as usual, sitting on the cusp of the next week(end) of glorious football. How’ve you been? Good? Good. I’m glad we got those inane pleasantries out the way quickly. Are you in the mood to briefly scan some silly tidbits that may/may not be relevant to the tilt that is about to fill your eyebulbs? Wonderful! Why don’t we head… TO THE GAME!
KANSAS CITY/OAKLAND: We here at Door Flies Open will never stop making light jabs at His Heavy-ness, the only man that includes an entire chocolate waterfall in his daily diet, the coach that time forgot (sorry, forgets the time), the eater of all the ribs, wings and other things on the Family Feast Plate, the one, the only Andy Reid. Say what you will about the guy but man, does he ever take care of business in the regular season. The Chiefs have a lovely little 12 game winning-streak going against all comers in the AFC West, including 5 frickin’ straight vs. the Raiders. Sure they’re coming off a loss to the Steelers but Oakland went down to the Lawnclippers last week. Sheesh! Many folks (including yours truly) thought that the Raiders would be in the thick of things this year playoff-wise but that doesn’t seem to be the case and the recent Carr crash didn’t help things at all. Statistics say that Derek would be wise to air it out to Amari because the Chiefs have given up the most number of ‘long’ plays (defined as runs of 11+ yards and passing plays of 15+) in the NFL. I wouldn’t sleep on wr Crabtree though-he’s grabbed 5 TD’s on only 25 receptions. Te Kelce has had some ringing in his ears recently (concussion) but the decibels have dropped to an acceptable level so he should bounce back from last week’s lousy game. Biggest surprise I had while prepping for this post was discovering that the Niners’ Navarro Bowman will be starting for the Raiders. Is there a student-exchange kind of thingy going on in the league now?
You know what to do.
I missed the obvious banner joke: “… now he just wants to cut all the black players.”
Fuck it all. I can’t wait to get my new charger so I can go back to doing jack shit in 1440×1080
1. Why is Lavar Ball going through Lonzo’s high…light on Sportscenter?
2. Why am I watching Sportscenter?
Because lavar is actually entertaining and no one wants to admit it?
It was him and Stephen A. yelling at each other and I decided I had had enough.
I turned the channel as soon as I saw him.
Aw man. Too funny.
I completely forgot about this game tonight.
For 2 reasons:
1. I don’t have any Oakland or kc players
2. My opponent started marshawn lynch.
So, uh… what’d I miss?
A football game, supposedly. I don’t fully believe it.
I’m doing a mewtwo raid tomorrow!
Well fuck you, I haven’t gotten shit from the places near me!
On Nov. 1 next month, go to as many raids as possible. The ex passes seem to have been given out to raid groups that 20 members. On the first all the super active players will be catching suicine, so that’s the best time
Yeah, we tried the sponsored ones for a bit (namely a Starbucks near us) but got shit luck and it seemed like they had stopped doing it. I think most of our group hasn’t gotten a pass yet. Doesn’t help that I started work again and like sleeping until the proverbial crack o’noon.
People still play that?
More than you think. It hasn’t died out as drastically as most people assumed.
Counterpoint: D.C. fucking sucks, the people are shit, and Drew can eat my ass.

Jim Tomsula’s lifehacks still crack me up.
Each of us have as many hits as the Nationals have as a franchise in the NLCS, ppl forget that.
Yeah so guess who turned off that game at the two minute mark because he wanted to prove to his wife that she was more important to him than some stupid football game?
Is this the note to go alongside a murder-suicide?
I’m preferring to look at it as being good luck for the Raiders.
So… anal?
That was our one good Thursday Night Game of the year, so I hope yinz enjoyed it (except Otto’s brain).
I’d expect most folks would say the 1st Thursday game of the season was the best one, given that His Satanic Majesty’s Patriots got ass-rammed.
Otto’s Brain (drunkenly rolling by): [Censored] Raiders and their [Censored][Censored] fans…
Whatever happened to Otto? Has he posted since the switch to here?
Unfortunately no. He exists now…only in HRTN…
He unsuccessfully ran for President under his alias, “Hillary Clinton,” and has last been seen hiking in the wilderness.
Someone said he legitimately was running for office in some capacity, and he subsequently scrubbed all internet activity from existence, lest it be used against him.
No idea how true it is, but there you go.
He lost the election
Actually, Rams-49ers and Eagles-Panthers were both pretty good too.
Oh, God, so we’ve got three. TNF is gonna suck until 2026, or, until Trump gets us all killed. Whichever happens first.
Derek Carr seems kind of stupid.
“kind of”?
Well, he just admitted to checking to that third-down draw, so, yeah. Yeah. Pretty stupid.
Derek Carr tonight:
TIme for Derek Carr to tell us all how Jesus won the game for them.
So… Raiders… good?
Raiders not as bad as their record indicates.
Related: Chiefs not as good as their record indicates.
Quite the chain of footballing events!
Del Rio and Reid are the two old guys going like, “Yeah. This is no big deal. Seen it before. Why’s everybody freaking out?”
For a moment, I thought that extra point was wide.
And the Patriots crawl a half game closer to home field advantage for the playoffs.
Nah. This play was a lot cleaner than the other, Romo. Crabtree just brushed off Mitchell’s hand. The other one, Crabtree… if he didn’t push, he still fully extended both arms at a falling Mitchell.
Laptop at 2%….
Someone check on RTD!
/ realizes he lives closest to RTD.
Shit!
So does RTD’s dog get spared the kicking treatment now?
oh, but the bourble. Too late to turn back now…
A fun TNF game?! What is this?
The Third Horseman
Holy fuckballs
OH GOD MISS THE POINT AFTER
BLEERGH DEMANDS YOUR FRAGS!
ALL THE UNTIMED DOWNS
The Chefs defense should walk back to Mizzou
BLEERRGGGHH!!
The Bleerg Bowl.
BLEERGH redux??
That auto-runoff after an automatic challenge rule needs changing.
MARSHAWN COMES BACK IN TO SCORE THE TOUCHDOWN!!!!
This game is epic
Truly, a festival of derp for the ages.
This game is shit. Not THEE shit. Just shit.
Untimed down!
BLEERGH wants MOAR
That should ease Rikki’s tumescence
Rikki is breaking his promise to his dog.
