Here’s your first of 11 playoff games to enjoy as the 2017/18 season begins the old wind-down. It doesn’t seem on the surface to be that sexy a tilt but one team will advance and the other will call it a day so I guess it’s got that going for it. Shall we jump in? TO THE GAME!
TITANS/CHIEFS:
KC is much like most teams in that they tend to win when they get turnovers. In their ten wins they forced 25 of them. I mention this because qb Mariota has regressed this year and has a non-sparkling 13/15 TD/Intercept ratio. It should be noted that he’s reigned in his penchant for fumbling…finally.
Injuries:
Ouchies to both A. Hunt and Thomas could mean that Tyreek Hill gets some more opportunities to touch the ball and the more he’s able to run around the more he’s likely to break a long one. On t’udder side DeMarco is gone so rb Henry will be carrying the full load. He did so last week and he kinda struggled but the talent is there.
History:
The Chiefs haven’t won a playoff game at home in 24 years. Oof. Here’s something else though-they’ve not given up more than 20 points at Arrowhead in more than a year.
Other Stuff:
The Titans have the eighth-best rushing attack in the league and the KC run D is ranked dead last. However, the latter squad really messed things up statistically during that losing slide mid-way through the sked. As it happens, Henry and Co. have been effective at runs longer than 4+ and 10+ yards according to some advanced stats I don’t fully understand.
My Hot Take(Away):
Takeaway? Get it? Who says that we at DFO don’t pander to our legions of Brit commenters? Anyboo, I figure Henry has to run for at least 125 and Mariota has to have a perfect game as far as turnovers are concerned. Much like most of the Chiefs opponents, I don’t think the Titans will be able to contain te Kelce which will in turn free up Hill.
So get with the tip-tapping down below.
This opening is legit making me angry. Holy fuck. How is Hank Williams, Jr. the least enraging of this?

The only thing more overrated than home ownership is parenthood
Although I’ll take it over going home alone to an empty apartment. Did that for more than enough years.

get a cat or dog. it helped me with i lived alone.
Did at times, unfortunately I traveled too much to make that practical.
I’m with Hippo on this one.
Any human bond which obligates one to have to give a shit should be shunned immediately and possibly stopped suicide.
Yes, I’m fine. Why do you ask?
Which is cool. The mistake is when folks fight that sentiment and have a family anyway like that will change attitudes.
It doesn’t.
My son’s behavior has improved at school, so it’ snot the dramatic nightmare last year was, but much of this school year has turned into me dealing with the boy discovering Tits Online. Trying to find the right mix of due dilligence blocking shit, and giving him enough leeway to hopefullly see him start trying to be discreet.
jeff triplette alert
Alright, folks. I’ll be back in a bit. At this rate, it’ll be before the second quarter.
I should be able to enjoy the games a lot more this weekend, having been reassured that the commander-in-chief is a really really smart stable genius. I was getting worried for a while there.

Holy fuck. They’re not even on the field yet.
late game probably gonna end at 1am
alright gonna go hang out in the basement a bit and smoke in opposition to mr sessions.
since the game isnt starting till 4:45
Yeah, why say the game starts at 320 when that’s actually just when the pregame bullshit all starts? And why do I always fall for it?
My cat finds Li’l Sweet’s voice disturbing
He’s not the only one.
They can also sense impending earthquakes, respect the judgement.
Late to rise today, nice when I get to do it.
I was never a coffee snob until The Dame introduced me to Kona from Hawaii, freshly ground of course. Seriously good shit.

Underdeveloped conjoined twin, the Browns are about to sign it as a starting defensive end.
Or quarterback, maybe?
kc got the “best smelling” parking lot in the nfl

The smell of stale urine is the same all over the world.
You’ve obviously have never been to Indianapolis.
Only to land and drive a rental up to the AFB in Kokomo. Didn’t get any olfactory treats on those trips…
terre haute would like a word with you
Like arson and splinters.
LOL 5 strait playoff defeats is a record!
Give the Browns 35 more years and it’ll be tied.
come on man! start the game!
Andy Reid called a preemptive timeout.
And now he’s challenging the spot of the kickoff.

I have wagered on the Titans because I am afraid on Don T’s juju. Man may not have power, but he has powers.

Here. Let’s just say it’s cold enough.
Supposed to be pushing 70F by end of next week tho and fuck if I won’t be on the fucking golf course.
Fucking Southeast Winters can suck it.

I bought that song on a 45 rpm record when it came out. Yes, I am old.

Not sure. There was no MTV then.

Gentlemen. How is everyone this fine freezing fucking afternoon?
Welcome back!! Well digger’s ass cold in North Cakalaky, too. My cat is none too pleased.
It got up to 5 today. I legit felt warm in it compared to yesterday. Gonna feel downright balmy tomorrow when it’s supposed to hit 30.
This could be a 1st. It is 50 F here.
Oh how I long for the 50s. Fuck, I’d settle for the twenties at this point.
Called a chinook in these parts. Warm air comes down from the mountain and we get huge weather swings.
yep, 30 for a high, 10 for the low, day in day out
I slept fully clothed with a jacket. I never did that, even when camping out in a blizzard.

Watched the Star Trek episode of Black Mirror before the game. It’s extremely good and worth watching. It’s an anthology series, so you can literally just watch that episode. Liam McPoyle absolutely stole the show.
Which season?
Season 4, episode 1.
Since when did Netflilx start doing porn?
Netflix is actually considerably less porny than it used to be
Well, it’s official. St. John’s lost by double figures. At home. TO DEPAUL.

How many DFOers survived the Deep Freeze back East? How cold was it?
In mid-Michigan, the wind chilld bottomed out at -30. They had as low as -45 wind chill in the UP.
FUCK THAT! How do you get the cars to start in the morning?
You can get engine/battery warmers. Or just never turn them off once mid-November hits.
You can also start your call every two hours and run it for 10 minutes. It helps keep the engine warm at the risk of a psychotic episode due to sleep deprivation.
hahaha they cold!
It’s 40 in LV and am wearing my beanie
We are warmer than you up here, that is fucked up.
It’s not really even that bad these days. They’ll complain while turning over, but they usually start without issue. Trying to do highway speeds without letting them warm up first is ill-advised, though.
I’ve worked outside in that. It was a special winter that usually involved passing out cold the second my body warmed up at home. I also learned while trying to move a lumber kiln door half encased in ice while it was -20 out, that if you’re sucking wind at that temperature, you will actually hurt your lungs.
still ongoing. JESUS FUCK, is it ever cold
I planned ahead yesterday, finally, so I wouldn’t have to put pants on today.
Six days tho. Six days straight of long pants and underpants.
I’m not built for this shit.
And to answer Spur’s inquiry….
It was 3 degrees this morning here in the armpit of North Carolina when I awokeded this morning. 3 fucking degrees.
Thankfully it only got as good as -6°F. My car started but it wasn’t happy. Neither was the stray cat that was sleeping on my engine to keep warm.
Suddenly it makes sense how Nags Head got their name.
One more night of this, and tonight might be the coldest. Calling for -9.
not looking forward to this evening. also still frightened about the heating/electric bill.
Whooo frozen cars and floating dumpsters here in New England from that coastal flooding!
Floating Dumpster? That’s a mobile pool – Philadelphia
This Notre Dame squadron (17 points with under a minute left in half) beat NC State by 30 midweek. Without its TWO best players, including starting PG.
Cuse has a way of dragging teams down to their level.
What are we all drinkin?
vicuprofen and cold medicine!
/cold meds are just herbal shit (Zarbees hot liquid) so not knockout juice
Elysian Space Dust IPA.
It’s good.
Bonus: Why hello there 8.2% ABV
Black tea sweeten with honey. no liquor yet.
When will white tea stop being oppressed ?
Narrangansett.
my roommate just picked up a flack of tall boys for the house. nuclear winter drinking commence!

Gday Gday Gday!
Part of me wants to see Jon Gruden succeed. Those early 2000s Raider teams were fun to watch.
this is likely to be a shittier version of the Gibbs comeback, but far longer
so this is cool!

Here’s a trip down Repressed Memory Lane if your want a playoff refresher.
Also, they passed on the Popular Choice for Bengals loss (That Wild Card Loss (TM) Redshirt’s Broken Dreams, Inc. Est. 2002) and chose the actually correct answer (Super Bowl XXIII).

Plus she wrote it in green and taped something over her original thoughts.
2/10, would only bang twice.
Maybe she was so drunk she misspelled ASS the first time?
I can work with that.
She’s lovely

O rly? If there was a way to bet on trump breaking campaign promises we’d all be rich.
He doesn’t remember or care day to day what he said previously.
i want the Titans to win this. Then Mahomes can start next year.
if they get down early and the offense is stuck in the usual neutral, could get ugly – now that they’ve had the chance to see the better QB play.
This Viberzi commercial still doesn’t top the commercial with the animated intestines walking around

He had throat cancer. I think he’s still getting treatment too.

They haven’t won a home playoff game since…the Montana era?
Since Montana became a state…..
I mean, if you consider how hostile and dangerous the average 300-pound white person has become in the current era…

Where the fuck have you been?
500+ hours of OT worked this year
so….beer and PILLZ on you??
gave myself alcohol poisoning about a month and a half ago, no more hard shit…so yes, a beer will do
yeah, I prefer how beer self-regulates (i.e., doesn’t get you drunk faster than one realizes)
I feel your pain. I’ve been doing the job of three people in two locations (counties).
It was supposed to be for two weeks. That was three months ago.
I’m rooting for the TITS. Because Don T and this
I’m rooting for the Chiefs. For this guy…
