Your “Sunday Night Is For The Birds” Sunday Night Football Open Thread

Banner image from NBC Sports

Evening, degenerates.  Your usual sot/introducer was unable to cobble together enough enthusiasm to slog through three of these open threads today, and who can blame him? I climbed out of the content mines juuuuust long enough to hit 30,000 feet and write up a little something from my skychair, where I am mercifully prevented from gorging on NFL crumbs. Let’s quickly take a look around the league to see what’s been afoot today:

 

In the early games, the Titans beat up on their imaginary friends (but at least Tom Savage got a participation trophy), Ravens made the Lions look like almost as big of a joke as their failed stadium implosion, Brett Hundley needed overtime to defeat Crabby McRaperson’s creamsicle wannabes, the Vikes’ running game overcame the mighty Falcons’ offense and its total output of three field goals, the Jaguras (is this an odd week?) routed the Clots, the Patriots earned a big win and a likely suspension (or at least fine in case Rog can’t afford to piss off both of the most powerful owners) for their biggest, stupidest animal, the Dolphins giving up a pick six still couldn’t help the Broncos in an old fashioned ass whooping, and Josh McCown embarrassed the Chiefs more than Andy Reid at a dinner table.

And in (former) home cooking, Robbie Gould beat the bad news Bears 15-14 with seconds remaining in a game that featured a whopping 15 pass attempts from franchise quarterback Mitch Trutitsky. Janaene Garofolo wasn’t asked to do much and obliged (26 of 37 for 293 yards, no TDs, and one INT) in a game that was exciting only if you love kicker revenge porn.

That poo-poo platter left unbalanced leftovers for the afternoon games, which were only just starting when this plane took off.  Since United’s “Your internet purchase is processing” was still showing when I landed, I can only assume that Cleveland won handily, YO! Gabbert Gabbert gabbed it, RAMMIT! Rammed it, Geno Smith rolled over and played dead, and our DFO Vegas Crew is Scrooge McDucking it after the Saints and Raiders held up their ends of the smartest six team parlay the MGM’s sports book has ever seen.

 

 

Oh, you don’t say. As of this writing, the jury is still out, but at a minimum Cleveland looks like they’re still Cleveland, and tWBS and company may have Geno to blame if they’re required to service a few more culinary union employees before they can pay for their rooms out there.  Seems like worse things have been admitted to being done in Vegas. Still, DAMN YOU, GENO!

Which brings us to tonight’s Aviary Assault! The Seattle Seahawks, unlike the SuperSonics of yore, don’t have a geography problem as much as a head coaching overconfidence problem. But I have to admit that the Charmslinger has put some things together this season despite A) Pete Carroll, B) Blair Walsh, and C) Russell Wilson being a complete douchetool. Meanwhile, the Philadelpia Iggles are taking advantage of a solid backfield platoon, an above-cromulent season from Carson Pirie Wentz, and a putrid NFC East to pretty much lock up the division week 12.  Tonight, they go head to head or talon to talon or whatever birds do. I know we have both Eagles and SeaChickens fans here at DFO, so keep it clean(ish). My guess is the Iggles roll with another Blair Walsh Project missed kick factoring into the outcome. But hey, what do I know, I’m just writing this from a large mechanical bird.  Tied it all together, NAILED IT.  Anyway, in the meantime, eat, drink, be merry, for tomorrow we die. I think Dave Matthews was singing about being forced to watch the Bengals play when he wrote that, right?

Anyhoo, as of a few hours ago the Eagles were only favored by 3.5.  The Vegas bunch should get back to the sportsbook! And for the rest of yas, TO THE COMMENTS WITH YOU!

If you take away the points and take away Seattle’s big plays, the game would be close? You don’t say, Collinsworth?

Can we talk about the fact that they haven’t shown any fish throwing at the fish market? Was that part of the tax cuts?

Wakezilla

MLS playoffs is still happening? Jesus, no wonder they can never get any traction in North America.

...

What I like about this Amazon commercial with the smiling singing boxes is that’s very accurate. You don’t see any people in the shots because they’re all being taken to ambulances.

Wakezilla

Only way to make it more accurate is to have mayor’s sucking Bezos’ cock while they tell him everything the city will give him if Amazon brings a factory to their city.

If Wilson gets the Hawks into the playoffs, can you not give him the MVP?

Mr. Ayo

Brady will still get it.

Spur

yes, this pleases me.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

This game is not going how I want, but at least I am having, dread, anxiety, and apprehension for work tomorrow.

Wakezilla

Me too. On the plus side, I got a six pack I’m going to down within the next hour or so

Unsurprised

Good times.

King Hippo

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

We are livin’ teh dream.

Its stupid; I am not driving a supply truck in Iraq; self-built stress is the best stress.

I think the Eagles have been up his ass every passing down and he’s still doing it

King Hippo

Viva La Tabula Raza

PHI definitely stepped on their dicks not challenging that one.

Gratliff

Wilson is so fucking annoying

Mr. Ayo

They got away with that one.

King Hippo

Charm. Slung.

King Hippo

It appears Dakota boy has some charm too.

King Hippo

Mr. Ayo

How did he throw it that far?!? Incredible.

Spur

throwing dried cow patties in Dakota trained him for this moment.

JustStopDude

You know who I would love to see in a career destroying sex controversy…Bob Costas.

comment image

Are we sure that was pink eye and not say an underling that maced the shit out of him in Sochi?

Unsurprised

Since Matt Lauer is a depraved predator, then Costas has to have killed more hookers than Craig James

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I’d much rather see the holier-than-thou Fox “News” assholes get it than the holier-than-thou libtard.

Unsurprised

They already took down Ailes and O’Reilly. Sean Hannity is the spawn of Cthulhu, so he’s not fucking anything human …

So who has #1 seed in NFC if MIN and PHI have equal W-L records?

If they both win out, Minny takes it

It would go to the 5th Tiebreaker: Strength of Victory. I’m too tired to figure that one out.
