Your “I Hope You Like Field Goals” NFC Championship Open Thread

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!

“Where?”
– Aaron Rodgers

Doktor Zymm

If this is any indication of how the rest of the game is gonna be, Vikings fans might want to start thinking about safe ways to sneak out of the stadium pretty soon

Spur

nonsense, they will fight their way out. Escape from New York style.

Romonobyl

It’s those big suckers that really hurt.

A gritty Curious George remake looks alright. you know a popcorn flick.

...

God, I hope Tom Brady chokes on a goddamned strawberry.

Dick E. Phuck

I hope he chokes on a MAGA chud’s dick.

Doktor Zymm

OR felching organic Himalayan semen

Gratliff

….Is there a synthetic Himalayan semen?

Doktor Zymm

I’m sure there’s some with antibiotics and pesticides?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Is there a difference between the movie Rampage and the movie Rampart?

makeitsnowondem

They’re a series, like It, It Follows, and It Comes At Night.

Doktor Zymm

Is Rampage based off the old arcade game of the same name? That was super fun.

Romonobyl

8 bits of glory!

Doktor Zymm

They have this at the arcade bar I used to go to sometimes in Chicago. Between this and Frogger I was a happy camper

blaxabbath

How much better are the Eagles with Wentz? I haven’t watched much with Foles but I thought CW was a good qb.

LemonJello

Jaguras lose. Check.
P*triots go to another Superb Owl. Check
Pick up furlough letter tomorrow. Check.

Looks like this week, everything is coming up LemonJello!

blaxabbath

Who sends out the letter if the government is shut down?

Also, how long you all preparing for this thing to last?

LemonJello

Our HR people hand out the letters as their last act before we shut democracy down.

This is my first time going through this, so I’m just gonna ride with it.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Thing that pisses me off most is I was scheduled to telework tomorrow but now have to make the 75 mile roundtrip to sign that piece of paper that I could easily digitally sign here at home.

blaxabbath

That is the most government story imaginable.

Doktor Zymm

Tip : A lot of DC area bars run shutdown specials. If you have enough spare cash to ride it out, you can have some fun

LemonJello

We were looking to pay down some debts with the proceeds from selling Fort LemonJello, but with the continuing resolution circle jerk, we held onto that money in case of emergency, so we should be ok.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Last time it was 3 days for DoD, but everyone else was out for like 17 days. I’ve stopped a couple of my bank auto-transfers for the time being.

Redshirt

Do you guys get backpay when Trump and Schumer quit measuring their dicks and hammer this shit out?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Up to Congress but usually and occasionally with interest. Shut downs cost a shit load of money.

blaxabbath

So freaking stupid.

blaxabbath

Ahem. Measuring their sandwich bags full of icing.

LemonJello

If the shitheels on Capitol Hill decide we do, we get back pay. If not…*shrugs*

I had already planned to vote against every incumbent, this just solidifies that position.

blaxabbath

Seems foolish to NOT give backpay in an election year.

Then again, the Freedom Caucus will point out that you didn’t do anything while being furloughed so that money would be better off going to pay down the debt.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Or settling their sexual harassment cases

Viva La Tabula Raza

Or making up the $1.5 trillion deficit increase that the tax bill they just passed is going to create.

Viva La Tabula Raza

We did last time, but there’s no guarantee.

King Hippo

methinks batteries gettin’ tossed before Q2 finishes

blaxabbath

That old man gonna be heaving his car battery from the press box.

Doktor Zymm

Is that the receiver equivalent of wagging your tail so hard you knock over a priceless vase?

Romonobyl

In my house, it’s usually The Dame’s fresh glass of Merlot that buys it. This damned dog is making me resort to sippy cups for all the booze.

Doktor Zymm

Buy merlot colored carpets

Romonobyl

Better…walnut laminate flooring.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

You lack discipline!

Romonobyl

Who ran into who?

Spur

these birds have bad vision.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oh yeah, we forgot to tell you not to run into that guy.

Gratliff

sweet jesus fuck guys

Spur

ha ha. stupid bird

Gratliff

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT TREY IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME

King Hippo

WOMP WOMP

Spur

You aint “sorting out” shit Philly Defenders. Dakota Boy masked your punkass all year.

JustStopDude

Nick Foles looks like a dude that is illegally purchasing beers for kids in high school.

LemonJello

“Hey! That’s my game!”
-M. Sanchez

Romonobyl

He keeps getting older, but they all stay the same age.

Gratliff

GODDAMN IT SO CLOSE

Doktor Zymm

TIME TO EX-FOLES-IATE

Spur

here we go. time to make Foles shit himself.

bk109

Btw, someone should put Big Daddy Drew on (twitter) suicide watch, ’cause if his Vikes sit out the Owl for a Foles/Brady showdown….

litre_cola

I hate everything.

Dick E. Phuck

Wanna form a Suicide Pact?

Gratliff

it me

bk109

There’s a bottle for that – Bushmills Single Malt! Apply in 50g doses until you start understanding the Gronk!

King Hippo

suicide line forms around the block, buddy-guy

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I just had the worst reuben sandwich I’ve ever had in my life, so if you got extra eats, send them my way.

...

That’s upsetting.

Sharkbait

I can try to email you the marinated steak I made?

Dick E. Phuck

Washing down the taste of that AFC Championship game with Arby’s is not a good idea, my friend.

Sharkbait

The Vikings have had the best cellys this season

Dick E. Phuck

Mike Zimmer is a good coach, but like all coaches who aren’t Tom Coughlin, he’ll turn into a pumpkin against the Patriots and commit some kind of back-breaking, game-altering fuck up.

...

WHY CAN’T ANYONE EXCEPT COUGHLIN BEAT THE FUCKING PATRIOTS WHEN IT COUNTS?!?!?

blaxabbath

I think Zimmer has it in him.

Dick E. Phuck

I hope so.

blaxabbath

Seriously, not just the way we joke about him. I think Zimmer possesses a very underrated post-season skill for football coaches — being able to prepare for a single championship game where you have to gameplan for so many things you have NOT seen your opponent do. It’s when all the trick plays and hiccups show up. I think Zimmer knows his opponents when he’s just got the one game to prepare for and manage. FIrst couple series’ are showing us that.

King Hippo

this is why we JUST DON’T WATCH.

Duchess

Hackett is watching this game in disbelief… ” you mean I don’t have to run on the first down?”

DontHair

Well the pup play picture just made me shudder. Makes me think of YMH podcast.

Doktor Zymm

Neat! Oh wait, I mean SKOL!

makeitsnowondem

Wow, I didn’t remember curling being this exciting.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Curling jokes? I thought Rudolph wasn’t allowed to play any of their games.

makeitsnowondem

Ha!

Dick E. Phuck

Wide open float down.

Spur

Die Eagles Die.

Vikings are to pillage that Philly ass.

blaxabbath

Fuck it. I’ve decided I want ARI to go out and get Keenum!

King Hippo

Kinda went all on tilt last night/this am

The Maestro

Kyle Rudolph is a bad, bad man.

blaxabbath

I don’t know if I can trust Joe Buck. He warned me this was a good defense.

This defense does not look to be what I would call “good”.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hippo prop bet #1 failure.
You know better than to go prop bets. Jeebus.

King Hippo

BUT IT HELPS my main $1700 bet so FUCK IT!!!

/even if my side bets all fail, Minny wins my 4+ and I will be at +2K minimum

theeWeeBabySeamus

Showoff. Minny 4+ will have me up by $500.
Anything less and I’m quitting because I only jinx you when I bet these days.

King Hippo

hmmm…..thinking maybe that Vikes scrilla will come good after all (have $1700 in total wagered)

Gratliff

oh dear fuck me

BrettFavresColonoscopy

THIS GUY INTERNET DAD I CALL HIM JESUS BECAUSE HE SAVES US AND THEN PEOPLE TWIST HIS GOSPEL TO SUPPORT POLICIES HE DOESN’T AGREE WITH WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT

ballsofsteelandfury

The site tried to commit suicide but, like the Jags, failed miserably.

blaxabbath

Maestro is our Blake Bortles.

Spur

HTTP Error 500?

Did someone really jump off the balcony?

Gratliff

It’s all going wrong. Panic!

bk109

Which of you bastards broke the site,lol? 😉
Completely unrelated – am I paranoid for routing practically all of my internet traffic through the shithole that’s my birth country? 😀

...

I want to believe my rage did it.

blaxabbath

You were born everywhere in the world except Scandinavia or Russia?

bk109

Off-brand Russia (Bulgaria) 😉

blaxabbath

Shit Hole.

bk109

Durrr, if it was pleasant, why would I leave it for a country that has a weather palette between “rainy and cold” and “rainy,cold and windy”? 😀

King Hippo

wait, you are a MINORITY P*ts fan???

/or MOAR likely an overseer ,, smh

bk109

I’m paler than most Irish (a requirement for getting a passport here) that even your TSA guys are cool (not a single bad thing to say about them)

blaxabbath

BACK!
