Don’t get me wrong-I think this will be a low-scoring, hard-fought tilt with plenty of hits and I’m all for it. What else do I be thinking? To know that we must go… TO THE GAME!
Minnesota/Philadelphia:
At long last more than a few denizens of The City of Brotherly Love will discover what it is like to throw up with a dog mask on their face. There won’t be any whips or the like involved but there could be a police baton or two making an appearance. Jason Kelce has informed the fans that there is some etiquette involved saying, “Remember, take off the mask before you spit on your buddy’s girlfriend. Manners are important!”
Injuries:
Safety Sendejo is out of concussion protocol and Adam Thielen is a go despite having ‘tiny cracks in his spine’.(?!) When you’re made of 100% grit these kinds of injuries are to be expected.
Matchup Mayhem:
Everson Griffin vs. Hal Vaitai: Hooo boy this won’t be pretty. Vaitai was ranked 47th out of 55 lineman in Pass-blocking Efficiency according to PFF. Griffin has 13 sacks so far and 61 pressures. Foles is a pocket passer that needs some protection. Does the qb have two consecutive non-Foles-ian games in him? We shall see…
Stats That Don’t Much Matter:
The Vikes have lost 5 straight NFC Championship games. They also have a 6-2 road record this year. The Eagles are giving up an average of 10.3 points per game at home since late October. Yikes. I guess it’ll come down to which qb makes the fewest mistakes. (shudders when he recalls Keenum’s ‘toss it up, see where it goes’ interception to Marcus Williams last week)
Bring your “A” game fellas and don’t forget to do your stretches!
Sorry sailor, saxaphone banner is better.
Are they bringing that guy to do the SB?!
If that eagle was so smart he’d keep flying.
They should sing the Enrico Palazzo version of the anthem.
That bald eagle shout be in a dog mask.
I haven’t seen this much shit covered in false patriotism since Tom Cotton was on Meet The Press this morning.
I like that for the Banner, but Stephen Miller thinks I should be put in a camp, so take it with a grain of salt.
“What? They say the camps are very nice and no recording equipment is allowed within 50 miles of them!”

Skip and Shannon
Thrown into the sun
No one cares
Not anyone.
Personally, I enjoy watching Skip whine after the Cowboys lose a big game. Mmmmm, delicious schadenfreude
“Ten bucks says you can’t hit a star with the D cell”
GAME TIME
I’d pay for two Joe Buck hair plug treatments if he made a joke about Erin Andrews and watching film.
Before that magical missed tackle.
hey, those Troops should not be there.
Government shutdown my ass!!
This guy doesn’t know what essential government services are.
Such as:
this.
YOU KNOW WHAT JOE BUCK???? GROW A BEARD OR DON’T. RIGHT NOW YOU LOOK LIKE YOU JUST FORGOT TO WASH YOUR FUCKING FACE!!!!!!!!!
Somebody is all drunked up.
Not yet. But come back to me by halftime.
is that old lady Viks fan at the game? i can see Philly fans throwing beer cans and batteries at her.
Oh god, I hope she is there.
And, Yes! God I hope she isn’t there.
Both QB’s get hurt this game and Brady is celebrated once again.
I’m so glad James Dolan only cares about basketball and not hockey.
Being the Rangers’ GM is like a Supreme Court appointment.
This. The one time being the stepchild of New York sports is a good thing
least i know Philly is going to burn tonight.
Yup, either way it goes.
Are Gratliff and I the only ones that think Philly will win?
I mean, does any Eagles fan ever actually think they’ll win?
Sam Beckett is going to be stuck in Jeffrey Laurie’s body until the Eagles successfully prevent a Patriot’s dynasty. It’s taken 13 years to get his second try.
Guys, you ded yet, or the great lemming run is yet to start? ALSO WE’RE ARE ON TO FUCKING MINNY!
I just need to get hold of some good street heroin, and I am TOTES ready
You don’t need heroin – you just got Theo Walcott… You can borrow my shotgun if you want? I can even supply an alibi :p
If this ends up being a Pats-Eagles super bowl I’m going to have to go on a spiritual journey.
Get ready…
You want a list of suitable buildings or you need something higher?
I’d be fine with being pushed out of an airplane at 20,000 ft.
Eh, that can be arranged,lol.. but unless you hit an active volcano (or Tawmy’s avocado ice cream), it’s not 100% effective 😀
I forgot to mention that this would involve no parachute.

Jumping off of tall buildings it is.
fuck Bradshaw sucking NE’s cock.
We should just cede the Superb Owl RiveBrog to the 5 P*ts fans and collectively boycott. It would be eerie as fuck.
NEVER
I’m seriously thinking about taking my wife hiking or something.
What do you think I did all day today?
Took RTD’s wife hiking?
Your/his wife? (Yes, I’m drunk and yes, I find this hilarious)
We were on a plane coming home from a weekend in OR watching UA basketball. I scheduled so we’d miss the second half.
Everyone on the flight was streaming the game. It was a very quiet and angry flight. Even the women who cared nothing about football, you could tell that the 50 upset men trapped in a tube with them at 20,000 ft made it clear of who they should root for there, less there be….implications.
So 3 hours of the Maestro and I talking?
I mean, I will go back and read it LATER
I might check in. Had a bud over for the game today so figured it would be rude to be on here, but I did keep an eye on all the rending of garments and gnashing of teeth.
It would be like That Other Website’s First Attempt at a NFL Open Thread after the Exodus. It was six people wondering where everyone else was.
My psyche rn
As much of a Pats fan as I am, the fan base is the worst.
Welcome to my world.
Unquestionably correct.
How did I not know Sharkbait was a P*ts fan?
Congrats to you as well, good sir.
I hide it well.
So you mean you’re not an asshole.
Understood.
I can attest to this.
Oh,come on.. we’re relatively tame – at least visiting supporters don’t get a “You’re on your own, folks” warning from the cops! Just the standard – “Caution, thar be drunk cunts!”
Total penaties/penalty yardage against Patriots in important games (Steelers & both playoff games): 7-51
Penalties/penalty yardage against Patriots opponents in these games: 22-223
Fuck this kabuki bullshit.
THIS IS THE LAST FOOTBAW GAME OF SEASON THAT I SHALL RECOGNIZE AS SUCH.
Of all the billionaires that I hate, I hate all of them equally.
Well, at least this one doesn’t have the Patriots in it.
DEAR GOD THE BANNER PICTURE
WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO US
That Vice doco was quite strange.
The safe word is touchdown

Donald Trump is President, and the Patriots keep pulling wins out of their asses. Is there anything good left in this world?
No
Trick question, everything has ALWAYS been shit, good things/times are only temporary illusions.
Republicans make it worse:

SWEET! Baskets this week. That is a fucking awesome show.
0: the number of times I’ve been jealous of someone driving a GMC.
Go Vikings?
damn right.
I’ll take it.
my cat is trying to calm me down. Anger still at its highest peak.
Obvious pussy joke is too obvious.
I have about $500 ATS (half -3, half -3.5) on SKOL!, and another $1200 on them reverse moneyline (i.e., to win at any spread, -160). First time ever bet that way.
I just upped to $500 total…all -3.
I’m not touching the ML or the o/u.
put like $99 on the over, now that it’s down to 38.5
This is an incredible leap of faith given the involved teams
Yeah, they’re insane.
They???????????
I’m betting responsibly. The NC Lottery Commission reminds me every freaking day.
The fact that they’re calling you directly should be a hint
tendencies get borken and weather is pretty good. I think Minny could actually get pretty good working lead
Dome team playing outdoors.
I bet he’s got some real progressive thoughts
I’m so full of hate that I can’t even begin to make a dick joke.
Unless hate looks like icing crammed into a sandwich bag, that’s not a presidential Dick joke.

I’d rather testify to a North Philly homicide than wear purple anywhere within 6 miles of the Linc today.
Tiny Cracks in His Spine is also Kevin Everett’s Native American name.
Erin Andrews reminds me a bit of the President’s daughter.
Which means that the President wants to fuck her.
That’s ironic, because our CIA spy satellites were called Keyholes.
I’m going to Tucson, getting a crew cut and sun-burning my pate. Why? Mind your own business!
That’s about all Tucson is good for.
What are we drinkin folks?
Clorox.
Ruby Grapefruit alcoholic fizzy water. IT GOOD
MOAR Basil Hayden bourbon. Because fuck it.
Water.
I’ve made some bad life choices.
Well I do need to swap out the bong water…
Weldwerks Grisette looks good. Let’s go with that.

This has come down to whichever team can murder teh P*ts. Nothing else matters.
Pete Morelli is the ref for the Super Bowl, so you know the NFC team is totally fucked.

Maybe JAX should pick up Keenum in the offseason. He knows how to have a good defense but not be a complete piece of shit quarterback because of it.
This is quite wise.
Last thread blew well past 1000 posts, at least we have that.
Our sponsors will be happy.
Til there’s about 45 for the SB thread.
Come on Viks, give me something to be happy about. Murder these Eagle fucks.
If you told me either Donald Trump or Tom Brady would drop dead of heart attacks tomorrow, and I got to decide which one, I’d legitimately struggle with the choice.
Brady dying would kill Herr Fuhrer, so there ya go.
Okay. I’m officially fucking tired of the talk. These teams are mirror images of each other. Monster defenses versus extremely derpy QBs. It’s a coin toss, but more importantly, fuck you and you and you and you. Eagles in a blowout.
I really do believe the Vikes have the advantages other than home field in this one. So much so that I just dropped another $300 on ’em ATS (-3) for $500 total.
But an Iggles win wouldn’t surprise me. An Iggles blowout would surprise me tho.
But fwiw…me betting on the Vikes gives the Iggles a better chance.
I’m a jinx. Just ask teh Hippo.
Talking pretty tough with C cells over there.
