Your Sunday Night “FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!” NFL Football Open Thread

Well, this one looked a heck of a lot better at the beginning of the year than it does now. Were you aware that Red Miller passed away in late September? The old fella made it all the way to 89, he did. “Who the hell is Red Miller?” you ask? Well, first things first-must you be so aggressive? Be more civil please. Red Miller was the very first coach to take the Broncos to a Super Bowl way back in the 70’s. All I mamember about it was that I was cheering for/knew the Cowboys were going to win. That was several lifetimes ago. Back then I was young, dumb and thanks to my local parish priest, full of cum. (this is the part where I’m kidding) Let’s go… TO THE GAME!

Pats/Broncos: The No Fly Zone has given up 70+ yards to five receivers. Among them are Kelce, Witten, Engram and Hunter Henry. That shit-eating grin you see in your mind’s eye belongs to the Gronkster. Though New England has their own te issues in that they’ve given up 5 scores to that position in only eight games. Is it time for me to plug in AJ Derby and hope for the best? It is. You’d think that after giving up 51 to the Eagles last week the D will get its poop together, right? Look for wr Amendola to pick up a few of the targets that the sidelined Hogan (“HOGAN!”) won’t be able to grab. He does have cb Harris on him though. There’s another high risk, high reward guy that the desperate among you may want to take for a little spin around the block.

It’s nice that we’re not playing very much at this whatever dinner. But it’s fucking cold and I’m worried about my violin. And that’s really all that matters.

Petronel

Little did they know that Thunder has a black AMEX.

Spur

How much are field goals worth again? 5 point?

King Hippo

GO FOR IT!!

Mr. Ayo

No, best to let the special teams handle this one

King Hippo

also, I like Booker more this season. Shows good quickness in tight space

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That’s not what she said!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oh no Denver’s gonna score another field goal!

King Hippo

you bastard man!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Remind me again…who cut McManus and went KickerFree this week in DFO League?

King Hippo

b/c I was ahead by like 80…

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hehehehe, not the opponent specific comment I might have hoped for…but yes, I get it.

Viva La Tabula Raza

If I’m not mistaken, Bolles could have been called for holding on all of those “highlights”.

King Hippo

Especially pass blocking. He’s legitimately good as a run blocker, which is why I think he’d be better at RT if we use our (early) #1 at tackle again.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Glad I’m not the only one who saw that.

Shogun Marcus

DURR DURR YOU CAN CALL HOLDING ON EVERY PLAY DURR.

Goddamnit, that’s the last time I let the Broncos special teams post for me.

I work in a real small office now and am managerial now so I miss the work drama. Not experiencing it, of course, but hearing about the gossip. So I had beers with my friend the other day and she brought a couple coworkers and they all just BITCHED about their CFO. It was amazing. I couldn’t bask in it enough. Like, the petty shit that you hold against your target. And, similiarly, just how weird some people are when you consider that we need to work on the grey area but our LINE at workplace behavior is quite solid — and these people just cross that line regularly and, often, without any sort of recourse because everyone is just more shocked that someone would be so inappropriate than they are shocked at the words themselves.

Spur
theeWeeBabySeamus

That’s a catch.

King Hippo

King Hippo

can you coach special teams?

theeWeeBabySeamus

That was good. I almost did a beer spit take.

blaxabbath

BANNER ALL THIS!

Spur
theeWeeBabySeamus

Wow. I mean like…wow.
For the first time in ever, not only have all of my starters overachieved (jury still out on Brady of course), but they all had like career days almost.

Other than Succop, but he gets a pass. He hit what he was given.

King Hippo

Fire the special teams coach at halftime, please.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Cameras following him. Bad sign?

King Hippo

YUP!

litre_cola

Special teams coach fired tomorrow?

Mr. Ayo

His name is Brock, too?
Jeebus, fire him right now.

At least I can look forward to work tomorrow.

blaxabbath

Do you think Kyle Shanahan knows he won’t live up to the attainable-but-not-for-Kyle legacy of his father? Like, he knows he’ll be lucky to make it as a coach, let alone be considered a guy who coached his way to a title. He’s Jacob Dillon. And do you think he resents Sean McVay for being the young hotshot that Kyle KNEW he should be? And McVay is actually a pretty nice guy under the douchey beard and Kyle almost likes McVay until Kyle discovers he was nurtured under his father’s rival Falcons/Packers coaches.

King Hippo

Plus he knows he will never be as good a bomber as McVay neither ,, smh

blaxabbath

Another winner.

litre_cola

He is a coach therefore sociopath. He believes he will be the greatest in history and fuck everyone else.

Dunstan

Did I just hear “Omaha?”

Aha, Brady brought the guy who sacked him into the formation with the movement.

King Hippo

it’s like without a pristine pocket he kinda sucks sometimes

Queen of Thorns indeed.

rockingdog

wait does Jon Gruden have a sex hotline? How about if there was an NFL head coach sex hotline?

blaxabbath

This is latina talk with Ronita Rivera.

blaxabbath

Oh the 49ers won? Shit – I wanted them to lose-out. I could see them actually drafting smart so I’d rather they be stuck with their qb of the future and the #1 in a draft where a qb is the obvious first pick.

blaxabbath

And the Giants are FUCKING TERRIBLE. Is that just cuz they lost OBJ?

blaxabbath

Though I do like Bethard throwing a wrench in the “fuck it, let’s abandon 2017 and throw in the new guy” plans that Shanahan definitely has.

What does it say about me that I’ve been the puking dog?

Mr. Ayo

THAT’S GOOD HUSTLE!

Normally, I wouldn’t disagree. But then I’d have to start McCown every week and….just no.

Nice job by Collinsworth to avoid saying “:that would have been roughing the passer if it was done to Brady”
