Your “This London game is BS since it didn’t start super early” Open Thread

Seriously,  why is there a game at all? Just to fuck with the Rams’ attendance and try to raise their average?

You know,  this poses an interesting dilemma: Realistically,  this will be the highest attendance home game for the Rams all year long. And it will be held in London.  Can you see the wheels clicking?

As for the game itself,  I expect it to be a drab and low-scoring affair.

/Pac 12 game breaks out.

The rest of the early morning/afternoon slate is as follows:

Ravens at Vikings

Our own Yeah Right is at this game.  He will hopefully be filing a Boots on the Ground post telling us how many bird carcasses he saw while trying to get into the stadium.

Saints at Packers

Brett Hundley makes his debut as the Green Bay QB. Given UCLA’s recent form,  he’ll throw 2 TDs, 2 INTs, and the Packers will lose 41-38.

Jets at Dolphins

Jets fans do not need to yell “Show your TITS” to women in South Beach as the ladies routinely go topless,  but they will do so anyway.

Panthers at Bears 

And who the fuck thought this was a good game to show to almost the entire country? No wonder the ratings are down!

Buccaneers at Bills 

This game like NEVER happens,  right? Is this like the second time these teams have faced each other in history? I really can’t remember the last time.

Jaguras at Colts

In a division where Houston has a star in Deshaun Watson and Tennessee has a star in Marcus Mariota, the lack of quality quarterbacking in this matchup is striking. Loser goes to the bottom of the pile?

Titans at Browns

Speaking of the Titans,  there is no way they lose to the Browns,  right? If I was still in the Elimination Pool,  I’d be hesitant to pick them in this game.

***

Incidentally,  there are only 2 people remaining in the pool!

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

Browns should have just gone for the fake punt. I think we know how this ends now.

King Hippo

yep, guaranteed 12-9

blaxabbath

I wish football tracked an equivalent stat to errors. I don’t expect teams to have 0 at the end of a game but I think it’d be a valuable team state.

blaxabbath

Oh yeah, it wouldn’t be an NFL stat. It’d be something some outsider would have to put together.

And I completely agree that it will show that teams are more than their records say they are.

Redshirt

The Errors would outnumber the plays.

Wakezilla

BC Liouns have the worst O-lineman in the CFL, Foucault. I just found out that the reason why he keeps getting starts is because he’s supposed to be the big star, as he started in the NFL.

My mind is fucking blown that not only did he make an NFL roster and started, but no QB was killed.

blaxabbath

QB’s Killed would be a good state for blocking position.

Brocky

Cleveland wins with a td…. which they haven’t gotten today. I’d honestly want the other team to receive the kickoff, hope the other team punts, then try to win it with a field goal

King Hippo

Jets are Jets-ing

hippofant

Matt Moore has already thrown for more yards than Jay Cutler.

Brocky

Every year, j try to make a joke about the members of the 2008 lions celebrating when the last winless team finally gets a victory. (Ala the 72 dolphins)

I got matt millen and Calvin Johnson drinking flint water. Anything I could add? I’m going for underachieving, not something absurdly fatal like them drinking arsenic.

blaxabbath

This is nice content.

I feel like Double-J should remind Rod Marinelli, in front of his players, that he coached that train wreck of a team and that’s why players don’t need to listen to him.

Brocky

Although he deserves criticism, marinelli was a good defensive coach everywhere else he went, and it inadvertently lessens the slack Millen deserves

litre_cola

Extra football at the Factory today free of charge!

King Hippo

one team in London is always hot garbage, and that ain’t gonna be RRRRRRRAM IT!!!!

blaxabbath

Ownership.

Honestly, I think the locker room knows they aren’t very good and are absolutely not built to fight back for any wins. So once the momentum starts to get behind an opponent, ARI just crumbles.

blaxabbath

Also, Wade is a very very very good DC and RAMMIT has D talent.

Wakezilla

Eric Decker dropped it? Holy shit, this might be Cleveland’s night.

Duchess

Bud Lights new add campaign is pretty much “Bud Light for folks with shit taste in Beer”

blaxabbath

“Will you pay $0.89 for a can of shitty beer but won’t fork up another 28 cents for a decent beer? If so, then have we got the product for you!”

Wakezilla

At least they moved away from their “Your mom was date raped” campaign from 2 or 3 years ago

blaxabbath

“Not sure we could support a campaign that promotes date rape.”

I can’t wait until the Bidwill Klan moves to shake down Glendale for it’s next round of repair money. Those fuckers can walk their asses right to LA with this garbage franchise.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Jeebus Indy, forget about breaking up the shutout. Just please stop giving up sacks every other play and we’ll call it even.

Wakezilla

Cam is getting violently hit so often, the next time a cop kills a brotha in Chicago, All Lives Matter are going to show highlights of this game to show all the black on black violence happening. Jesus

Truth Biscuit is 4-for-7 and is up by 2 scores?! Wow.

King Hippo

he’s doubled his first half output!

King Hippo

also, Tim Tebow is totes jelly right now

King Hippo

reminder to self: “Self, NEVAR start Davante Adams again this season, under pain of catapault.”

Car/Chi announcer after seeing the OJ Howard TD: “It’s a tight end Sunday”

Way to make A-Rodg feel like shit, jerk

Brocky

God, how great would it be if the cowboys lose to the winless niners?

King Hippo

about as great as Emily Haines sitting on my face, sadly also about as likely

theeWeeBabySeamus

Protip: If you get a shot at either/or, take the Emily Haines facesitting thing. You’ll regret it later if you don’t.

King Hippo

I shall take Sam Kinison’s advice and lick the alphabet!

theeWeeBabySeamus

LOL, I have a story about that which can’t be shared here.
Good story, tho.

Brocky

What about slack?

King Hippo

scotchy, did you for reals start OJ Howard?

Did someone tell Cam Newton the Bears secondary played like girls? Because he’s acting surprised they know about routes.

Wakezilla

Thought Chris Conte was still on the team

clint greasewood

Finding an illegal stream of the Bills game is the greatest thing that has happened to me this week. Save me from slumming it up at buffalo wild wings or the tilted kilt.

King Hippo

you’re welcome FOAR Steven Hauschka

clint greasewood

Haushmoney has been a godsend.

King Hippo

he was a veritable God his one year at NC State.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Ah the Tilted Kilt.
*sigh*

We are a BUF and NE loss away from the Jets being in first place. That has to summon BLEERGH or Jesus, right?

The Browns are so toxic that the Red Zone won’t show them even though the Titans are LITERALLY IN THE RED ZONE.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Wait, what? They just showed Tennessee being in the red zone on the big board.

Wakezilla

TBF to Redzone, they’re playing California Kickball

With all this shit that Hue Jackson is getting, I think something that is being forgotten is that this team of
“professional NFL talent” was assembled by the Moneyball braintrust.

A Head Coach can only do so much?

theeWeeBabySeamus

I really need Indy to bust up this shutout.
Beastie has 16 pts from Jax defense currently and that is just not acceptable.

theeWeeBabySeamus

18
smgdh Indy.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Brilliant coaching by Hue Jackson to build DeShone Kizer’s confidence back up by letting him start and then yanking him midway through the game.

Wakezilla

Greatest sub 500 coach ever!

Redshirt

AGAIN?!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Also Hue just dialed up a deep sideline pass on 4th and 3.

King Hippo

FOAR his third string QB

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I can’t even get started on how idiotic that is. Turnovers on 4th down don’t matter. Throw across the middle; don’t give the defense a free defender in the sideline.

theeWeeBabySeamus

In a week of bad FF choices by moi, I am enjoying the Succop addition nicely at least.
Woo foar ballzkicker!!!!!!!

King Hippo

FF is a nice microcosm of my life (overthinking and bad choices)

Wakezilla

So, why are people so shocked to find out that there were Muslim Vikings, based on some clothes they found in Sweden? It’s not like they didn’t go to Moorish Spain, Russia and dealt with Sultans or anything.

Gratliff

Because the crazy racists who so desperately want to be some cross between nazis and vikings don’t want to have to deal with things being different than they always believed.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’d expect them to actually WELCOME this news cause it supports their contention that Jesus was actually a 6’2″ nordic dude with blue eyes.

King Hippo

talk about 21 the hard way

King Hippo

Moore is a significant upgrade on Catler. Just less fun.

Brick Meathook

There sure are a lot of people at that Rams game! I guess there’s not a lot else to do in London.

King Hippo

stay home, boil meat

Wakezilla

Wright with one hell of a catch.

King Hippo

maybe I will beat Shogun Marcus in DFO ball, thanks to poor Jordy missing his boo

bk109

Btw, speaking of injuries… Apparently the wife killed her car’s ECU today, so… any bets on whether she’ll be able to fix it tomorrow or directly admit defeat and have someone from the Audi dealership have a crack at it? 😀

Reporter: “As an expert, what do you make of the Panthers?”

Cutler needs a pack of smokes and some Jack Daniels and he’ll be fine.

But Doc.. Will.. *sniff* will his middle finger make it?!

Larry Fitzgerald deserves to go out better than this

if Only Christian Mccaffrey’s parents were also missionaries, and he was outspoken about being pro-life

he’d be the white religious role model that they want Tebow to be

Jeez, I knew things in P.R. were bad but I didn’t realize they had to return to archaic methods of food preservation.

So has someone used the Race Card about why Green Bay is going with their backup and not Colin Kaepernick?

Brocky

maybe no explicitly, but GB fans, in my experience, tend to be racist as fuck, so the suspicious is there regardless

I really thought Baltimore would beat Case Keenum.

Whoever wrote that Issue 2 commercial in Ohio is a genius. The good guy is in scarlet and white, the bad bully is in black and yellow.

I don’t even know what Issue 2 is about and I feel like voting for it.

Well now you have to find out.
