Your “Holy Crap! It’s Week Twelve Already?” Sunday Afternoon NFL Football Open Thread

Where did the time go? [looks inside the folds of the sofa] Nope, it’s not there. [eats week-old Cheeto] The Wild Card spots are sorta, kinda, maybe taking a bit of shape. But maybe that dead-in-the-water 4-6 team will win out and sneak in with the help of three different statistically improbable improbabilities! The Raiders could very well beat Real Madrid in week 17 during a midnight game under a full moon in Wichita! I’ve seen it happen before. TO THE GAMES!

TB/Atl: The magic number here is 20. If the Bucs D holds a team under that total they tend to win. For the Falcons the same number scored virtually guarantees a victory. Start rb Coleman again because Freeman is still out.

Cle/Cin: Well looky here, it’s “The Bourble of Ohio”! Celebrate by starting a fire in a steel drum-the hobos will come right out of the woodwork. After that? The canned beans must flow…

Ten/Ind: The Titans haven’t won in Indy since I was in my early 40’s. (I’m almost 75 now) Rb Gore needs just 89 yards to pass Bettis for 6th all-time in rushing. No, he’s not human.

Buf/KC: Shout out to the Bills coaching brain trust! After giving up 34 and 47 points in back-to-back games they came to the conclusion that, “that damn Tyrod Taylor isn’t putting enough points on the board to support our D!”. Good luvin’. Lo and behold, a 5th round rook qb is thrown into the fire and the Chargers feast on the kid. If you’ve got an issue at the wr spot you could do worse than Zay Jones for the Bills. His fellow wr Benjamin is out and wr Matthews and te Clay are both hobbled. Go ahead, roll them dice.

Mia/NE: Another week, another Pats blowout. NFL Excitement, y’all!

Car/NYJ: Te Olsen’s broken foot is finally back from the infirmary which is lovely news given that the Jets can’t cover that position. They’ve given up 6 TD’s there. The Panthers have to be looking over their shoulders as the Falcons seem to have put things back together recently. Carolina will roll.

Chi/Phi: Chicago is about to go through the meat grinder. Speaking of which, have you ever tried bear sausage? I have and it’s not as bad as you’d think. [waits for Seamus to pounce on this]

[ties bow around game intro post] There! We’re all set. Heave-ho, commenters!

Sure, sit Robby Anderson they said.
It’ll be fine they said.

LOL Jimmy Haslem went over to say Hi! to QB AJ McCarron before game.

herodotus450

I heard it was actually about 1 minute after the game started and htey weren’t able to talk.

Gratliff

I never want to see this Eagles team punt again.

King Hippo

how about letting the QB take many unnecessary hits in a laugher game?

Gratliff

It’s the NFL way

rockingdog

Good observation. That is kind of disconcerting…..

Horatio Cornblower

I’m taking the dog for a walk because I was splitting wood this morning and I just now have enough feeling back in my hand to hold the leash.

theeWeeBabySeamus

OK, at least ONE of those HAS to be a euphemism.

Horatio Cornblower

Sadly that post was euphemism-free.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

“splitting wood’ is also what Kellen Winslow calls it when he parks his car at big box retailers around the country

theeWeeBabySeamus

Looks like I’m shopping for a new defense next week. Again.

The Browns should charge opposing teams to play against them.

In a slump? Play the Browns.

Need to break in a new QB? Play the Browns.

Want a guarantee road victory? Play the Browns.

But Rooney is better positioned to inherit both grandparents’ fortunes.

I’m all in on Rooney

ballsofsteelandfury

Looks or acting ability?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Come on, do you have to ask?

ballsofsteelandfury

Personal preference, but I think they both have more acting ability than looks. Not my cup of tea.

This reminds me of the KSK one with Ben post-rape going on a date with the Cowher daughters, including the bald daughter with a mustache and broad shoulders. Wish I could remember which one that was.

Horatio Cornblower

“Wish I could remember which one that was.”

Bill. It was Bill.

I think Kate would talk too much and enjoyed Rooney in Carol. Also I’m drunk.

Does Pam Oliver seem a little… slow? I swear I’ve heard her speak faster before. Is she ok?

What I SHOULD have done is bench that worthless KHunt for Tevin Coleman.

Anyone but me picture the dude in the light up Raiders sweater as RTD?

Doktor Zymm

How good does the game have to be for me not to leave at the half?

King Hippo

c’mon, you need the FULL Black Hole experience. Especially if you have the temerity to mildly root FOAR the horsey side.

Doktor Zymm

I’ll probably just root for good plays, though the Raiders fans on the train so far seem pretty nice

ballsofsteelandfury

Are ya wearing black?

ballsofsteelandfury

You may want to leave by the middle of the second quarter.

litre_cola

I had a great time at the RRRRaider game. I did purchase black hole tickets and was offered numerous narcotics while there.

Redshirt

I stayed for three quarters in Week 1 of the Bengals opening clunker and I had 12th row endzone seats.

Use that as a reference.

King Hippo

Litre and I each gonna go for around 130 in DFO ball. Probably 1-2 in scoring this week, one of us will lose (he has Wentz, Shitty Clippers D, I has Julio)

litre_cola

Yep, story of my season.

King Hippo

I almost talked myself into benching Julio, am so mad at him/ATL’s playcalling. Started Coleman in money league instead

litre_cola

Gary Coleman?

King Hippo

whatchu talkin’ bout, Litre??

Shogun Marcus

I’m only .5 back.

Redshirt

Tryptophan kicking in. Can’t sleep. 2nd half starting…

Viva La Tabula Raza

Every other game that Fox is broadcasting is currently closer than the CHI/PHI game. interesting to see if they switch over after halftime.

ballsofsteelandfury

That’s what I was thinking. Maybe @ the end of 3rd quarter?

Viva La Tabula Raza

I think one more Eagle TD, 31-0, then switch.

Thanks for the reminder I’m stuck with it even as it speeds past 90’s Super Bowl blowout.

Thanks to having kids I’m pretty sure that this is from an episode of a Nickelodeon show where the kids were stuck in an overheating room.

A. Nickelodeon. Show.

Shogun Marcus

So she’s around 21! Whoo-hoo!

Horatio Cornblower

if you search the photo you’ll see she was on a Denis Leary show, (you know, the one where he played the abrasive guy with a drug/alcohol problem and trouble relating to his family?), and I don’t think anyone under 21 is allowed on those sets.

Unless they’re carrying notes from old Bill Hicks routines.

Shogun Marcus

Oh THAT one! Didja know the guy that made House has a show? It’s about a…Doctor! Who has people skill problems!

Gratliff

With a youngster, I was forced to deal with iCarly and there was some super questionable shit right there

Horatio Cornblower

If I remember from the Warming Glow days the guy in charge of both of those shows had a reputation for pushing all sorts of envelopes.

I, however, am a terrible parent so my kids watched both shows while I made terrible comments about them. And by ‘them’ I mean both my children and the shows.

Spur

See kids like tittes too.

Shogun Marcus

She seems distressed. I SHALL AID YOU!

Horatio Cornblower

I don’t think Matt Moore is a very good QB, you guys.

King Hippo

It’s only when he comes into a game that Catler starts, when he looks good by comparison.

What’s the deal with these KPop groups? It seems to me to be basically indentured servitude with a splash of sexaul abuse. I can never tell how old Asian women are, i take these girls are 16 years young when they get started.

ballsofsteelandfury

Isn’t that all girl and boy bands?

Gratliff

I don’t think it’s any different from the child stars here, there just happen to be way more of them

16? Like em old do ya?

Dolphins INT whilst in scoring position: The Chrome Plated Megaphone of Destiny.

Doktor Zymm

Update : so it turns out there is Sunday service on my line, it’s just horribly fragmented and they don’t bother posting anything like a schedule or a goddamn notice that they don’t run direct trains, but you can piece together like, 3 segments and actually get somewhere. Even Google maps is unaware of this. The upshot is that I actually can go to the Raiders game, since I was able to drop stuff off in my car and actually can take stupid BART to the Coliseum after all.

Viva La Tabula Raza

It’s a holiday miracle!

ballsofsteelandfury

No offense, but that seems like an awful lot of effort for a Raiders game. I don’t think even RTD would go to that level of effort.

Doktor Zymm

That was to get to my car, which I would have to do no mater what. And I didn’t actually figure that out until now, after already taking a Lyft to my car.

King Hippo

Say HAI to Swag Kelly for Hippo (if he’s there, dunno if IR guys travel with team). And of course, DONKS WOO!!!

HOLY SHIT, Hauschka!!! 56 with a metric fuckton to spare, in KC. That’s no small feat.
