Your “Clash of the Titans (No, Not Those Titans)” Sunday Afternoon Football Open Thread

Oh my, we’ve got some jugger-naughty thrills and spills coming our way don’t we? I’m genuinely excited for what’s in front of us. Let’s take a not-so-deep dive (“NO RUNNING NEAR THE POOL!”) into the festivities… TO THE GAMES!

L.A. RAMS/SEATTLE:

De facto NFC West Championship Game? It sure feels/seems like it so let’s call it that. If the Rams take it they’ll be up two games with two left to go and the Titans and Niners remaining on their sked. On t’udder side, the Oceanbirds are staring at the Cowboys and Cards afterwards. As noted last week/week before, (it’s all a blur, folks) Seattle’s O relies on qb Wilson’s arm and legs for points to an out-sized extent-containing him in the pocket is a fool’s errand but one which the Rams edge rushers will attempt to do nonetheless. The Rammers also desperately need cb Tru Jackson to recover his form after committing two godawful penalties which contributed to the loss last week. Wr-wise Robert Woods is back in the fold after a wee absence-he racked up a weighty 162 yards the last time these two encountered one another.

Tennessee/San Fran:

This is the over-looked sibling sandwiched between two over-achieving brothers. However knowing how the NFL tends to work, this one will somehow be the most entertaining of the three at the 4 spot.

New England/Pittsburgh:

Here’s hoping this one is able to come somewhere near the parameters of the restraining order that is the hype surrounding this tilt. Does that make sense to you? It did in my thinker-spot. Aside from a 40-17 blowout of the Titans, 5 of the Steelers last 6 wins have come by margins of 5, 3, 3, 3 and 1. That’s bulimia-plagued supermodel skinny win margins, you all. Was it luck? Are they good enough to beat a Pats team coming off an embarrassing (to them) loss to the Fins? Let’s you and me and we see, oui?

Now, over to pray the Tits don’t give the ball back to the Fightin’ Tomsulas for any garbage HydePOINTS. Gronk may have saved the day for Hippo.

/well, Gurley Man did but Gronk finished it

Spur

Should have given it to Bell to fucking ogre.

King Hippo

I agree, but that would have taken me out AND cost me lots of moneys

Holy shit if that doesn’t count as a catch then the NFL needs to self-immolate.

WHAT IS A CATCH??

Horatio Cornblower

Just waiting for the “it happened in the end zone and these 13 things didn’t happen so it’s not a catch” bullshit ruling.

the Yinzers…they TD?

The Maestro

please just shoot me in the fucking head

Doktor Zymm

A friendly hint, your lady friends will make fun of you for having NE themed self harming urges. Try to avoid things like punching walls during NE losses, even super bowl losses, cause even nice women who let you put your dick in them will totally mock you.

Doktor Zymm

So, I’m aware I’m on some sort of delay, but that sorta fucks up my interpretation of comments v what I see..so….that was a real run yes?
