Your “Playoffs? Fantasy Playoffs!?” Sunday Funday NFL Football Open Thread

Unless you’re in a lesser league that actually has a championship in week 17 when playoff-bound teams are resting their stars or getting them off the field as quickly as possible, your fantasy dream of winning a non-existent-in-real-life trophy begins for serious today. I’m not under much pressure in one money league, having finished 9th and all but in t’udder one I’m up against the #2 seed who takes this stuff far too seriously. I’ve pondered it for a bit now and I’m going to do it-I’M STARTING WORLD ACCORDING TO GARPOLLO OVER CAM! I figure that either way I’ll have a tale to tell to whatever disinterested sap I corner at the next family get-together. Kidding! Why would I talk about that crap IRL? TO THE GAMES!

Ind/Buf: The Bills rushing O is ranked 8th and rb McCoy should have no problem getting going against a Colts team that gave up the ghost well before Halloween. Qb Peterman is back to distribute the ball equally between both teams.

Chi/Cin: This one looks like a keeper. This tilt is between the two worst offenses yards per game-wise in the whole of the league. Maybe TruthBiscuit will pass more than 12 times!

GB/Cle: The Pack can say they’re in the playoff hunt at 6-6 with the Cowboys and the Lions despite the fact that Seattle and Carolina are 8-4 and Atlanta sits at 7-5. I guess YA GOTTA BRIE-LIEF! The Brownskis are running out of chances to insert a 1 into the W column.

Oak/KC: Flag-heaving cb Peters is out for this battle of the .500’s. Wr Cooper is still out as well but Crabtree is back and should be matched against not-quite-in-game-shape-just-yet cb Revis. Can qb Carr get his first win at Arrowhead?

Dal/NYG: Eli is back in the saddle again-can he be the next Rocking Horse Winner? D.H. Lawrence says the odds are slim. But who knows, maybe the Giants players have a little “Fuck You, McAdoo!” tucked away in their arsenal.

Det/TB: The Leos have frittered away a comfy 6-4 record by losing their last two. Qb Stafford’s hand was not able to dodge a Ravens’ cleat last week but Fatty has been avoiding questions about his damaged appendage all week long. Apparently he practiced on Friday so the Jake Rudock Era will just have to wait for at least another 7 days.

Min/Car: The Keenum/Thielin combo has been quite the revelation this year and rb Murray is starting to reap the benefits-he’s tallied over 75 yards rushing over his last 3 outings. The Panthers have won 4 of 5 but the sked (Saints last week, Minny today) is doing them no favours whatsoever.

SF/Hou: 2-10 vs. 4-8? No thank you! (Go Jimmy, Go!)

Tap away Gents/Ladies.

Other than twbs, no one really cares about the meaningless Haha interception.

theeWeeBabySeamus

That’s because no one else was stupid enough to go out of their way to RE-acquire the GB defense.

There’s a group of 4 Dallas fans at the Giants bar. I fully expect a fight

Doktor Zymm

pretty much. This is some awful popcorn

Spur

You;re still in the doghouse Dez,

Gratliff

Reminder that the Gints are a walking abortion, Eli or no

Romonobyl

About damned time Dez, I was getting ready to go wake your mom up.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

So according to Rich Gannon somebody named Alex Mack made a great play in the Raiders game.

So apparently the Marcus Peters suspension had nothing to do with discipline, the Chiefs just realized they wouldn’t need him.

Senor Weaselo

I think they mistimed the P.T. Barnum biopic, considering the circus just folded.

Gratliff

Lolz. Guy in the Buffalo crowd waving around a US title belt because secondary championships are the best they can hope for.

King Hippo

J. Peterman throwed a snowDOWN

theeWeeBabySeamus

That helps. Fuck yo’ Indy D.

JustStopDude

This IND at BUF game…

YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

JustStopDude

Shit and now a Indy player is down.

Bury him in the snow…it will keep the injury iced up nicely.

Steve Smith agrees.

Spur

Football and fantasy football is stupid!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Hey did you know that my birthday is tomorrow? Apparently the Raiders do, and my present from them this year is a nice big bowl of “fuck you, Rikki.”

Shogun Marcus

It’s the right size and everything!

Happy Birthday RTD!

Death by flag foar the ‘Boys.
Second verse, same as the first…

King Hippo

Nice thing is I can close both fantasy windows and just watch the footy now

Senor Weaselo

Raise your hand if you laugh at the word “ball-hawking”!

Sharkbait

Yo. Also, Haha Clinton-Dix

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Clinton-Dix and his two ball hawks?

LemonJello

Lady LemonJello once mis-heard “ball-hawking” as “ball-hogging” so that is what is is known as now at House LemonJello.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

In some places it means a terrible accident involving tanning nude and a bird of prey.

Shogun Marcus

Gotta be talonted to pull it off.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

*feeds small penis to baby raptors.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Did anyone else hear Cooper screaming at the end of that play? Not good.

Romonobyl

If I were to do a Wiki search for “meh”, I’d probably get a link to a stream for the DAL/NYG game.

JustStopDude
rockingdog

So romantic!!!!
Should be a Jared commercial

Senor Weaselo

Now she has to toss him, right?

Gratliff

Do the Lions not practice at all? It’s like they legit don’t know how to play football until the end of the first half.

King Hippo

oh, fuck off MRSA Men

Horatio Cornblower

Josh Gordon has 69 yard receiving.

Someone please tell me that this was at the 4:20 mark of the first half.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Olsen boo boo foot is back.

rockingdog

Savage hurt!!!!!! Oh no!!!

TJ yates takes over

theeWeeBabySeamus

Duke!!!!!
(now I feel dirty)

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Trubisky has 10 passing attempts already? What kind of sorcery is this?

Sharkbait

Double digit passing attempts, Browns leading…dogs and cats, living together!

bk109

Right, as I escaped the wife’s clutches (giftwrapping stuff for others is annoying!) which game would y’all recommend? Or should I “stumble upon” a questionable way to watch the Redzone ?

rockingdog
bk109

Eh, might as well go with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIOcTRwFo7Y so I can stream it on the big screen 🙂
Still, thanks for the suggestion 🙂

rockingdog

Dilly Dilly!

JustStopDude

Its almost half time and the Browns are leading by 7.

I’m in some weird territory here. Its like finding the passage to Narnia like under my kitchen sink.

Spur

yep, this was the crappy game i was worried about from Dallas.

King Hippo

u can’t stop the #ThePauls u can only hope 2 contain them imo godbless

King Hippo

Lions D/ST touched down wud be awful neat

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Huge offensive linemen in white uniform pants; SEXY AS FUCK!

Doktor Zymm

Wait just a second, where the leopard thongs at?

LemonJello

Jaguras game?

King Hippo

Fading Kelce landmines, but one-handed Fat Stafford is gonna kill me throwing for 400 yards

Spur

“Drop by Cooper” that sounds familiar

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“You’re telling me.”

– D.B., explaining why none of that money ever turned up again.

King Hippo

Scoreless OT draw is possible in BUF

Horatio Cornblower

I’m fairly certain the White Walkers are going to show up late and take that one.

Spur

We’re all rooting for the Factory today right?

rockingdog

Ive got GB RB Williams sooooo…..it would be nice if it was high scoring
sure.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Not exactly.

Gratliff

Few things terrify me like Aaron Rodgers sneaking into the playoffs against complacent frontrunners

Shogun Marcus

That would be a legit fear, if it were to happen.
/Paul’s just scored
//IF it were to happen

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Not me.

Sharkbait

I dunno…an 0-16 parade sounds mighty entertaining

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Um…why are they playing a perfume ad during a football game?

The Maestro

Gift ideas. Although most of us are probably already too drunk to remember that’s what our partners would want.

LemonJello

Something you can drink if the booze runs out?

Doktor Zymm

You can also use it to prime the carburetor on your old timey plane or car

Sharkbait

“Buy this for your wife”

theeWeeBabySeamus

No ofence to JSD, but I could really use a pick six from ThePauls before the day is out. Two would be better.

theeWeeBabySeamus

And Duke Johnson carries for negative.
Holy shit…I give up.

Shogun Marcus

Unless it’s a tip to a lineman or maybe an LB…not likely. Secondary is ded.

Doktor Zymm

Oh hey, I just noticed the tvs behind me have cowgits! Probably not worth turning around

Spur

You’re going to hurt Eli’s feelings

Doktor Zymm

I already did that when I didn’t eat the gluten free cupcakes his mom brought into school for his birthday

King Hippo

One can see why Truth Biscuit is generally asked to throw less than 15 forward passes a game.

rockingdog

Kelce with the butterfingers…… shit

King Hippo

alternatively, THANK YOU JESUS

LemonJello

/Jesus looks up from NYT crossword
“What did I miss?”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

With all the whining for flags Kelce is doing you’d think he played for the Patriots.

Horatio Cornblower

He’s got the right amount of melanin.

Gratliff

This game needs some Calvin Johnson Memorial Wide Receiver Sledding

Looks like a party at Michael Irvin’s place.
