Your “One of These Games Just Doesn’t Belong” 4 Spot Slate Open Thread

[scans dessert menu] Oh my, look what we have here! That Creme Brulee looks wonderful. Oooooo, maybe I’ll go for the Baked Alaska-I’ve heard great things about it from my yoga instructor. [looks to bottom of menu] Hmmm. An unopened sugar packet on a cow’s tongue? Why would they even bother putting that on the menu? Are they just trying to fill space? Speaking of… TO THE GAMES!

Hou/LAR: The “How Can You Not Cheer For Them?”* Rams have scored an average of 36 ppg in their last four victories. Did I follow my own advice that I shared with you folks a few weeks ago and stash Goff at the bottom of my roster for safekeeping? Sure I did-for about five days or so and then moved on to larger mistakes. I dislike being stupid. I highly recommend against it if you can help it. The Texans have barely scored more points than they’ve given up as is the way of many 3-5 teams. His Below-Average-ness, Tom Savage Garden is entrusted to get the team going just like he didn’t in the vast majority of all the other games he’s started.

*Abandoned St. Louisians excepted

Dal/Atl: The Cowboys have cobbled together three straight wins but now are without Zeke. This is good news for a reeling Falcons team that has lost four of its last five. Remember Tevin Coleman? OC Steve Sarkasian hasn’t. That rb that is particularly proficient at catching balls out of the backfield has been fed three passes in the last four games. This is gross misuse of talent along the lines of Marcus Allen under Al Davis. Still, given that the Dallas D gives up 4.4 yards per rush maybe the Foreman/Coleman duo should be given the ball 30+ times today. Of course a little pitch and catch between Ryan and Jones (if he’s healthy) should be thrown in there as well.

NYG/SF: Did I mention something about telling your loved ones how important they are to you? I did? Well, go ahead.

It’s all over except for my crying. Do what you do.

Dallas pass coverage is borderline nonexistent. And now Scandrick is hurt.

rockingdog

Blegh

King Hippo

It will be like waiting for the Northern Virginia counties to come in for me tonight, in the form of Gronk and Emmanuel Sanders. Right now, Goff has narrowed the margin to 34. A stretch, but feasible.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Sitting Larry Fitzgerald no longer looking so dumb after all.
I can feel smrt for a little while at least.

King Hippo

you had Robert Woods?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yup.

Romonobyl

I wish I could have put money down on when Sean Lee would get injured.

litre_cola

That was fucking huge.

King Hippo

Helped a Hippo

King Hippo

how much you reckon they’d fine me (as a coach) FOAR going out in a red C.C.C.P jacket today?

Romonobyl

Afternoon all. Looks like I get to enjoy yet another Cowboy winter.

King Hippo

December is coming.

/also, DAK! looked a tiny bit Trent-ish towards the 1:00 mark, be careful with him

Romonobyl

A little protection would be nice.

King Hippo

Witten no blockie? Seems like a gritty fella like that should…

Only two of my peeps have met or passed projection. The rest are woefully under. However I see no one else is having a good day so meh I guess.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’m doing pretty good actually.
(sorry not sorry Sharkbait)

Shogun Marcus

If I believed in the home team, I should have Davante and TyMont starting instead of benched.

King Hippo

put it this way…in money league, I’m losing to a guy who sat Adam Thielen. SIGH

theeWeeBabySeamus

Wow. Really?

King Hippo

as Metallica would say…SAD BUT TRUE.

/That GoffBOMB helped

King Hippo

Hopkins should be allowed to push off.

theeWeeBabySeamus

– Dabo Swinney (?)

litre_cola

Will Fuller V out. It will be the Hopkins show here on out.

rockingdog

So I went outside to have a catch and…. wait how did the la NFL clippers loose?

King Hippo

hilariously

King Hippo

Savage Garden, who we thought he was.

/bailed out, tho

herodotus450

Buffalo used a Nathan Peterman at QB? Did they know he wouldn’t be able to take his full grain, brown leather messenger bag onto the field with him? With its sleek lines and surprisingly spacious pockets evoking a youthful romp through eastern Europe? The smell of leather bringing back memories of days spent seeking out old world churches to discover ones heritage, and passionate nights in a hostel with two lithe students with barely three words of english between them? How’d it work out for them?

Shogun Marcus

About as good as the Urban Sombrero.

Spur

Cowboys need to start in shotgun or double tight end. Dak is getting killed.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Ham fumble?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Nope, Ham strip.

Which sounds weird.

Shogun Marcus

That’s bacon ain’a?

King Hippo

wasn’t very effective holding, dude

rockingdog

Du break it, Dubai it!

Viva La Tabula Raza

They said Matt Schaub’s name!!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Probably UVa fans.

Brocky

You’re not Julio Jones.

Fuck you

King Hippo

CJ Beatherd, fantasy beast.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

All of you that told me to start Sammy Watkins are bad people

King Hippo

I am font of terribad advice today. If any consolation, RRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!!! is killing my money team (Goff, Gurley) too.

King Hippo

mango, spinach, and kale smoothie. Enjoyable, but I shall be belching that for hours

theeWeeBabySeamus

That sounds really….turrible.

King Hippo

apple juice base FTW. It is perfection

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah, that doesn’t make it sound better.
Plus I’d have the runs for three days.

Brocky

I know right?

I gagged at the thought of that concoction

King Hippo

savages, all of you!!

blaxabbath

why is my name spelled with dos equis in the banner? #quotablestip: just cut and paste stuff.

King Hippo

Looks like Litre shall get MOAR Greg the Leg soon

litre_cola

in all money leagues. I even kept him during his bye week. He is the fucking man.

blaxabbath

“Thanks for your service, blax.”

“Right on Marty. Can we throw on the game?”

“Nope. That’d be disrespectful.”

Shogun Marcus

Marty sounds like a dick.
IT’S MY DAY BITCHES!

blaxabbath

Well, the white trash farmers at this bar who smack their wives and have never traveled passed 3rd Street are the ones who keep this place open.

theeWeeBabySeamus

White trash farmers on 3rd?
Queen Creek or Buckeye I get. But 3rd?

Mr. Ayo

Goodell is the national disgrace. Not the players.

NO ONE DENIES THIS!

Spur

Double J is going to challenge Arthur Blank to a halftime dual.

King Hippo

Even if I had no idea as to the persons behind the names, anyone would bet on “Double J” against a guy named “Blank” when pistols at dawn are involved.

Mr. Ayo

Thinning of the herd. Good idea.

Spur

is the Rams offense on bye this week?

litre_cola

I need me some Greg the leg so I am very pleased with this development.

King Hippo

Wish they would have warned me, could have used Cousins’ 40 fantasy points. FFS

Spur

Yeah baby. DLaw

OF COURSE I fucking cut Goodwin for Samuel

So many fakes I feel like I am at a market in Thailand!

Spur

Good no call.

King Hippo

agreed, nice ref teamwork. NFL doing better in that respect

Mother Puncher

We’re you aware bars are boycotting NFL today out of respect for veterans? Because I just found out at the bar I sat down in. Fucking Ohio.

King Hippo

I’d never drink there again.

Mother Puncher

It’s the only good bar in the county. I have priorities.

Mr. Ayo

Burn them down.

King Hippo

I likes it. When in doubt, start a fire or series of fires.

Mr. Ayo

Didn’t play so well in season 2 of True Detectives.

But I’m still team fire.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I *could* hang out and watch this Rams-Texans game, or I could take my wife to the mall.

Bye guys!

Mr. Ayo

Not where I’d take her, but enjoy!

Mr. Ayo

This NY SF game is going down as a masterpiece.

King Hippo

I have never seen OPI on a fake punt before.

Spur

that bird flopped.

ballsofsteelandfury

Savagedown!

Spur

Pray for Sean Lee.

ballsofsteelandfury

Again?

ballsofsteelandfury

A co-worker has season tickets and offered me 2 for $100. I answered her the same way I’ve answered drug dealers in the past, “No, I’m good.”

Spur

What happened to the Falcons offense?

litre_cola

Hat to say it but maybe Shanahan was on to something. San Fran is awful but he hasnt been there that long.and Atl is more talented

Spanky Datass

The Not Oilers have a kicker named Carebear? I may have misheard that …
comment image
HAIL SH’ANKLOR!

Spanky Datass

Fuck…

Spanky Datass

Fixed!

ballsofsteelandfury

I don’t think I’d go see a RAMMIT game even if I was given free tickets.

litre_cola

Greg the leg is worth the price of admission.

ballsofsteelandfury

Clearly we prefer different legs.

ballsofsteelandfury

Do you all spell it Girlie as well?

theeWeeBabySeamus

This seems random.
But yes.

Spur

Stadium looks empty. Chick-Fil-A made the right move.

ballsofsteelandfury

Which stadium? ?

Gratliff

Useless Bills, Useless Slurs, Useless Texans, Useless Falcons.
