Your Early Afternoon Slate of NFL Games Open Thread

Are you footballed out yet? If you are this site is no place for you. Gird your pyjama bottoms, eat some processed sugar product, find some caffeine, (have you tried that coffee enema yet? Maybe now’s the time) get rid of the family and lock the doors. You’ve got some watchin’ to do! TO THE GAMES!

Chicago/Minnesota:

When Minny wins (are you saying there’s another possible outcome?) they will have earned a first round playoff break. John Fox’s 14-34 record as coach of the Bears will be Exhibit A when his firing is announced tomorrow.

Cleveland/Pittsburgh:

Looks like them Steelers are without Antonio and that Ben and Bell will be pulled early if they play at all. Once again, if your fantasy league plays its champeenship on week 17, you’re a schlmiel.

Dallas/Philadelphia:

The Cowboys playoff aspirations went down last week vs the Seahawks and all the haters (myself included) were sated temporarily. If they can just pull off another loss today Jason Garrett will achieve the 8-8 record his coaching ability deserves.

New York Jets/New England:

The Jetskis are going to roll over like a puppy that wants its belly scratched. The Pats, like the kid that is a nascent psychopath, will see this gesture and respond by “punching that fucking puppy right in the goddamn face!”.

Green Bay/Detroit:

Turn off the lamp Jim Caldwell, the party’s over.

Washington/New York Giants:

Eli might be putting his helmet on backwards for the last time as a Giant today. At least he’s got that 3 game starting streak to brag about. A D that has given up 378 points so far will be without starters Collins, Jenkins and a certain cancerous Apple. Take the over, Hippo.

Houston/Indianapolis:

The Texans have no choice but to start TJ “19 of 47” Yates today. Watch this one for the intercepts and giggles.

Give me that thing you got down below. (I’ve had my shots)

So if the ’72 Dolphins have been drinking champagne every time a season ends without a perfect team , What has the ’08 Lions been drinking for the last few seasons?

King Hippo

Mad Dog 20/20

theeWeeBabySeamus

I bought so much of that (illegally at times….it was a weird time with drinking ages going up) at the Safeway on Western Blvd.

Sidney Jones just got activated this week and just headed to the locker room. Poor kid.

Browns find a way to stop from going 0-16, becoming the first team in league history to go 0-15-1

Watching the Dallas offense slowly move backwards on stattracker is fascinating. Has to be more entertaining than the actual broadcast.

Petronel

NICE flop on the P*ts sideline

clint greasewood

DeShone Kizer playing his ass off for Hue is like Tina Turner performing with Ike Turner

King Hippo

Hue loves you, baby. Don’t make Hue hit DeShone like that!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Inadvertent Kojak joke?

DAL/PHI final score will be 2-0. Nobody will care who wins.

It is written…

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I think I’m coming down with a cold. The hot water will offset the beer, right?

King Hippo

hot water burn baby

King Hippo

Kizer is still trying his ass off, God love him

theeWeeBabySeamus

He’s playing for Cleveland. How much can God really love him?

King Hippo

tough love??

clint greasewood

Lesser god Pan

JustStopDude

It enrages me because Browns fans make it sound like he is solely responsible for the 0-16 season.

It takes at least a decade of consistent dysfunction to get an 0-16 season. The kid plays hard as fuck with a head coach that calls a game like a complete fucking moron.

His best target took 3 years to learn how to pass a piss test.

Fucking dude deserves an award for putting up with this shit.

True coffin corner in Philly. Gogo Safety Dance!

Time to swiftly remove the nads!

After?

herodotus450

On the first of TWO weeks when there were THREE 0-0 ties, The Rochester Scalpers tied the Rochester Jeffersons.

King Hippo

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHA

BANNER PLS

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

BAHAHAHAHAHA

Gratliff

43 Browns players missed tackles on that return

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’m presuming that that 6 seconds is the longest the Browns have not been trailing this year?

King Hippo

oh, #ThePauls

Wow Cleveland

Well, that hope spot didn’t last long for Cleveland.

King Hippo

hope floats, just like a turd

DeShone Kizer has a 136.4 QB rating right now.

Just goes to show how fucking worthless THAT stat is…

Wentz-like running play from Sudfeld!

herodotus450

One of the last 0-0 ties happened in 1939. The Eagles outgained the Brooklyn Dodgers 237 yards to 23. Dodgers were 1 of 2 passing for 5 yards.

herodotus450

Only penalty was a 5 yarder against Philly; I guess Andy Reid really is immortal.

theeWeeBabySeamus

To be fair, the Dodgers were already trying to move to LA by then so they dint care.

Redshirt

Uh…guys…the Browns just tied the game.

King Hippo

champagne on ice in the DET locker room…

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Except that the Lions didn’t pay their heating bill, so no ice necessary.

LemonJello

Not no mo’

theeWeeBabySeamus

WTG Cleveland. Now it’s just gonna hurt moar when you fuck this up.

King Hippo

#ThePauls have no clue what to do re TD celebrations.

...

Interesting. No NFL has ever ended with both teams scoring 50 or more points.

Redshirt

2004 Browns @ Bengals got the closest back when they had good offenses and no defenses. That was fun game.

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200411280cin.htm

...

But it still gave us GLORIOUS SCORIGAMI so it was good.

Gratliff

Even if the Eagles get blown out of the water in the divisional round, at least we got to see the talk of the world beater Dallas offense end in hilarious fashion this season.

King Hippo

extended monologue in PIT on how HAWT Josh Gordon is.

Gratliff

Who made the rule that neither team could go past the 50 in Philly?

King Hippo

HOT LAVA!!!

How about 2-0, OT? Walk-off safety in battery land sounding good.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

...

That would be good. Hasn’t happened since 1938 and the OT variant might just be a first!

King Hippo

Bearistocrats! hanging tough. Foxball gon’ Foxball

herodotus450

Is it just a weird chart glitch or does that Scorigami site say that 73 games have ended in 0-0 ties?

...

No glitch. It’s true, but it hasn’t happened since WW2.

theeWeeBabySeamus

The Nazis ruined everything.

herodotus450

Maybe that is counting forfeit/cancelled/vacated games as well?

...

If you click on the square, you can follow the link it shows to pro football reference’s list of games with that score.

But yeah, in the very early days of football lots of games ended scoreless.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Like most of my dates.

HEY OHHHHHH!!!!!!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

But only one game ended 73-0, right?

...

7+3=10
10 – 1 = 9
10 + 1= 11

Question prompted by discussion of Pam Oliver in the BFC home: What is the difference between a wig and a weave?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Wig falls off. You gotta yank a weave off.

King Hippo

semi-permanence?

My planning today is less than goodly.
I have tickets to a concert tonight which I really do want to attend. But it’s in Hippo’s neck o’ da woods, about 40 minute drive. Which means I have to be sober.

Plus, I’ll miss the endings of teh late gamez, some of which I have meaningless bettings upon.

Dammit.

...

I’m glad that even though it’s testes-in-your-abdomen cold, the term “polar vortex” has run its course so I don’t have to hear it to describe a cold day.

King Hippo

at this point, pretty resigned to humanity being fucked, so I just take it as it comes. Ya know?

King Hippo

we sure is gettin’ lots of Humps/Imaginarium

...

No game has ever ended 8-7, so I’m really hoping one of these meaningless games comes down to a late TD and the scoring team goes for the win with the two point conversion.

King Hippo

We HAD that in the snow, but they called OPI on the Humps

...

BLEERGH! denied us Scorigami.

BLEERGH! is the enemy of Scorigami.

...

I wish I could show this to regular people just see how blank their faces would get trying to comprehend it.

King Hippo

someone should publish a guidebook

King Hippo

per coked-out Red Zone guy, this was the first NFL fixture in SIX YEARS to be scoreless at the half. And there aren’t even weather issues.
