Your “And Then There Were Just Three” Late NFL Games Open Thread

After the ten game ‘splosion of earlier today we have but three ‘options’ (depending on where you are living) this afternoon. I’m not a fan of this illusion of choice. (h/t, George Carlin) TO THE GAMES!

Chargers/Rammers:

The Battle of Los Angeles (or The Great Los Angeles Air Raid) was started by a very provocative (wait for it) weather balloon that had ill intentions towards the denizens of the heretofore mentioned city. It might have been aliens. Thank gawd there were some trigger-happy artillery folks that told that alien balloon that ‘these colors don’t run’. Perhaps history can repeat itself in this here encounter by qb’s Goff and Rivers throwing all kinds of projectiles at opposing defenses. Yeah, I need wr Cook to put up some points-what of it?

Bears/Cards:

Which Khalil Mack will show up for this game? Is it going to be the unblockable maniac that collapses pockets at will? Or will it be the unholy terror that single-handedly changes the Cards offensive game plan? Which Truth Biscuit will decide to play? The one that under/over-throws his open wr’s? Or will it be the fella that misreads the D on a regular basis?

Cowboys/Seahawks:

This here is the “Stop laughing-We’re Still Relevant, Dammit!” Bowl which is sponsored by the good folks at Blackberry and Kodak. DAK! had a temporary reprieve from the boo-birds courtesy of a porous Giants D last week. Will a headed-south-in-the-standings Seattle team stand up and be counted?

Let’s do that thing that we like to do. Ewwww, not that!

I see the Bears defense is doing their part to get they ass crowned

...

They need at least two more losses to absolute shit teams to validate my assessment of them as a frustrating mess of an 8-8 team.

blaxabbath

Fastest guy at the combine?

Why not overthrow him and give it to the deep safety, SAM?

fleshwound_NPG

Sam Bradford: still bad

blaxabbath

Call him Sam BADford!

Spur

Clap clap clap

King Hippo

Baby Buster is really fucking good. With A.A. Ron crippled, he and Mahomes are the class of the League.

/FUCK TOM BRADY

Doktor Zymm

A.A. Ron is a pretty classy cripple tho

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Yeah, I mean, I hate the guy and his team, but I’d take him on one leg over almost every other QB on two legs.

King Hippo

oh, he’s pretty clearly still #3 or 4, depending on how you rate Breesus

Redshirt

I propose the Interception stat should be split into two stats a la baseball’s Wild Pitch (pitcher screwed up) and Passed Ball (catcher screwed up). Per an official NFL scorer, if an Interception is the QB’s fault, it is credited as a Interception. However, it is determined that the QB threw the ball correctly but the WR failed to catch the ball resulting in the pick, it is ruled against the WR as Receiver Indifference/Incompetence.

herodotus450

Do the wide receivers also get a 15 yard penalty for hurting the qb’s feelings?

His Right Honorable Lord Lordship the Lordly

Did someone say passed ball- Gary Sanchez

...

Thought about treating myself when I saw this bar had a bottle of the Proprietor’s variant of Goose Island’s Bourbon County but at $150 a bottle I don’t deserve that much of a treat.

King Hippo

none of us do, ICRM, none of us do.

blaxabbath

Didn’t Apple used to run commercials making fun of smartphones with large screens? I believe this was while they were going toe smaller watch direction.

...

Jobs thought big screens on phones were stupid because his Genius Vision was that the original iPhone was the perfect size. I kinda wish he had lived long enough to post obsessively like Elon Musk so we’d have ample evidence to counter the genius narrative.

Doktor Zymm

I’m super happy about Elon getting sued for slander. He’s a dickhead and I hope Elon-Gate stretches out forever

Gratliff

Dak has 40 yards? Got a whole day’s worth of work in the first half. Good for him.

You can put it on the board, eh-Yes.

...

Are we talking about a White Sox homerun or a bar tab? WHO KNOWS?

Redshirt

So per NFL refs, you’re supposed to stop all downward momentum created from 500+ pounds falling down, overcome gravity and float six inches above the quarterback?

...

Fitting that on the day Hawk is put out to pasture he has to watch the Cubs club the shit out of his beloved White Sox. Love that I was there for it. Eat the entirety of my asshole, you old bastard.

blaxabbath

Hawk?

Given his past, how do you think Tiger celebrates busting a slump?

Mr. Ayo

With a quiet, reflective evening having dinner with his girlfriend?

fleshwound_NPG

not much considering his back

King Hippo

I forgot that the Tomsulas’ backup is also a lady. Former President Bartlett Press Secretary CJ Cregg!

Spur

Nice Float

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oh my dear lord Jeebus, did the Tennesee/Jax final really turn out 9-6?
Or am I just so drunk I can’t see the other numbers?

Please tell me it’s the second.

King Hippo

nope, old Jaguras showed up

Mr. Ayo

It can be both.

blaxabbath

My only complaint with ACLs getting shredded is that they aren’t very fun to watch. Give be a broken bone protruding through the skin any day versus just a guy stumbling and holding his leg.

fleshwound_NPG

tiger does a thing

LemonJello

That Waffle House waitress has a name, fleshwound_NPG. SMH.

blaxabbath

Gonna be good energy at Oakland next week, right? 0-3 and hosting CLE? I mean, that crowd will erupt in either relief or extreme anger as that game unfolds.

Wakezilla

#ThePauls winning that game would make for a lovely day.

blaxabbath

I hope there’s a riot. I want to bring home a seat.

Doktor Zymm

I want to bring home the hollowed out skulls of my enemies to drink mead from

King Hippo

I am very likely to bet on this happening

Doktor Zymm

I will do my best to provide live updates

blaxabbath

Oh yeah — we should get a beer.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Boots on the Throats?

Redshirt

Say what you want about golf, at least seeing the fans following the leading golfer to the last green on the playing surface is kind of cool.

Mr. Ayo

That was wild. This crowd is going crazy.

The golf universe is blowing its biggest load.

Redshirt

Well they was teasing themselves for a long time.

herodotus450

The play of the first half (?) of this game was apparently just every scoring play of the half.

Gratliff

I wasn’t online to talk shit when it happened, but just want to say how happy it made me that Zeke stepped out of bounds

King Hippo

Would it not be fun, if the Superb Owl were to be RRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!! and the Chefs? Mahomes-y and Baby Buster, all growed up?

His Right Honorable Lord Lordship the Lordly

Andy Reid will find a way to blow a 20 point lead at home to a 9-7 team.

King Hippo

thing is, Mahomes will just score even more, that’s the new era difference.

Doktor Zymm

See Hawks. See Hawks score. Score hawks, score

Spur

Randy Gregory is such a bum

King Hippo

you can RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!!! we can RRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!! they can RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!!!

Just RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!!!!

Redshirt

They can what, Hippo?

King Hippo

uh, ram it?

Spur

Kupp bomb

fleshwound_NPG

Mitch fucked the dog in the 1st half, but the Cards going to fuck the dog bigger in the 2nd

Seen this movie before

blaxabbath

Yeah – that was ARI capitalizing big on just a few plays. CHI’s game to lose still.

Doktor Zymm

From the radio, even the home crowd were saying that GB basically gave the game away, or as one radio call in guy put it, ‘we got a lot of home-cookin out there today’

Doktor Zymm

How accurate is that?

theeWeeBabySeamus

It’s not INaccurate, let’s say.

Petronel

Maybe they also got an Instant Pot and were rarin’ to try it out…

herodotus450

Hey I haven’t seen those skins fans who dress up as pigs lately, wonder what they got themselves into…

Petronel

Heyyyyyyy…wasn’t Mother Puncher making pork? DAMMIT MAN

herodotus450

If it was any other cooking method we could save them, but with the Instant Pot ™ there’s no chance, it cooks too fast! But wait, there’s more!

Wakezilla

Oh yeah, the Packers receivers had back crippling drops at the worst possible time. Less home cooking more bed shitting.

When does Jerry Jones the owner fire Jerry Jones the GM?

Redshirt

When he becomes senile, his kids will probably trick him into doing it.

blaxabbath

When the GM is black.

Gratliff

When Romo applies for it

herodotus450

Right after he fires a million little swimming Jerry Jones’s onto that nice intern

herodotus450

Pats-Lions Sunday night game!? Who are the ad wizards who came up with that one?

Gratliff

Heard some of the radio pre-game while grabbing dinner and they sound like they’re already eulogizing the season

blaxabbath

HOW CAN NE SURVIVE WITHOUT PATRICIA?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

That looked like it touched the ground

blaxabbath

How long until this ARI crowd is calling for Chase Daniel?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hey I did that once!!!!!!

– D. Trump

herodotus450

Too bad there aren’t any notable free agent quarteredbacks out there who are familiar with San Franscisco

blaxabbath

This team needs a HERO, not a traitor!

herodotus450

Garapallo needs a healer, not a kneeler smh

Well I bet on the Cowboys so they deserve this.

Doktor Zymm

I also enjoy getting home, turning on the TV and eating some yummy ice cream while watching the Cowboys defense fail embarrassingly

blaxabbath

So….vanilla?

litre_cola

It’s Zymm, it is probably some fruit from Bhutan that we have never heard of.

Doktor Zymm

Nah, totally normal cherries

blaxabbath

Gross brah

Spur

2 blown assignments in the secondary. come on Dallas.

blaxabbath

America’s Team!

Wakezilla

Well, it is called Debbie does Dallas for a reason

How ’bout them Cowboys!

theeWeeBabySeamus

– Wyatt Earp

blaxabbath

This ARI game is regressing to the appropriate mean.

Doktor Zymm

I really do enjoy local sports radio, and Clinton Portis continues to be awesome

Wakezilla

So, there’s Instant Pot and the Slow kicker and maybe another type of device that is similar to these two. Which one is better?

litre_cola

I love my Instant Pot. Saves so much space.

blaxabbath

Instapot does slow cooking

theeWeeBabySeamus

Instant Pot does slow cooking, pressure cooking, and a lot of other stuff.

That being said, I don’t yet know if it’s going to blow up my house. It’s currently on “Preheat”, and I’m keeping my distance.

I will let you know.

LemonJello

Keep eye-fucking it like it owes you money and it gon’ blow, buhlee dat!

blaxabbath

FG.

Brutal shot to all the FF owners who started ARI D today.

fleshwound_NPG

2 minute warning

Fuck you, watching golf now.

Crab soup will be ready in 45 minutes. Allegedly.

Fire extinguisher at the ready.

What did I miss?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

You got crabs?

A FUCKING FADE WHAT THE FUCCCKKKK

blaxabbath

Haha! Fat guy in ARI end zone front row wearing an ASU “guard u” shirt.

So much excitement for a team that finished 8th I’m the conference.

fleshwound_NPG

STOP IT WITH THE FUCKING FADE, YOU FUCKSTICKS

College…ah NFL Kickers!

Redshirt

Old Man Tiger is starting his tailspin.

Mother Puncher

Don’t remind me about the Bengals game

blaxabbath

Who?

Wakezilla

I haven’t seen a Tailspin like this since Baloo had a show in the early 90s

Redshirt

Even as a kid I was like “How in the heck did they go from Jungle Book to this?!”
