Your “Thursday, How I Missed You So!” NFL Football Open Thread

[face is buried deep within his computer’s monitor]

Goff vs Minny? Hmm. Or maybe Wilson against the Cards? What to do? What to do?

Oh, hello there! I didn’t hear you click onto the site. You’re a sneaky one aren’t you? I was just going over my fantasy options and the window is closing fast with respect to putting Jared in there. But enough of my struggles. My, you are looking like quite the handsome devil/striking woman? Have you done something with your hair? No… you’ve lost a few pounds haven’t you? Whatever it is you are definitely carrying yourself well these days. Stalling? No, I’m not stalling-I just wanted you to know that you’re very much appreciated by me [word count is up to 120 buddy, you can do this] and all the other folks that converse on this here site. Er, um… TO THE GAME!

Vikes/Rammers:

I just don’t know what to make of this game. All the hot takes regarding Minny’s play last week have been taken so I’ve nothing to add. They gave away two quick TD scores as a result of fumbles deep in their end (as well as a field goal) and just seemed to be rattled and disoriented. Was Everson Griffen’s on-going erratic behavior something that caused the team to (for lack of a better word) stress? Position by position, the Vikes are talented up the ying yang so I expect that things will get back on track but the short turnabout, the travel and the fact that they’re playing a very, very good team doesn’t look promising for their short-term prospects. That said, Theilen and Diggs are facing backup corners all night long so scoring shouldn’t be an issue. I’m at a loss here.

What are you thinking? Should I play Goff? Also, you may want to weigh in on today’s shenanigans in Washington. Do your thing. You tend to do it well.

I’m still holding out hope that John McCain, Ronald Reagan and Abraham Lincoln possess three Republicans and vote no just to piss off Trump. Bonus points if one of them is Cruz.

Unsurprised

Yeah. When Reagan nominated Robert Bork, Bork only said he would’ve voted to uphold Plessy v. Ferguson; but at least he wasn’t a rapist.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That was just one of his anti-woman, anti-black views. He was full ‘ laughs.

Unsurprised

I can’t believe Stevie from Eastbound & Down is going to be a justice.

During the 2nd half, I went though various Heartwarming and Tear Jerking Moments on TV Tropes.

And its turns out I am human. I do have tears. And what is worse is I’m all out of beer.

WCS

Switch to whatever liquor you have.

Redshirt

Mouthwash it is.

Unsurprised

You may want to switch to a rag soaked in ether.

Lost in all of this Kavanagh stuff: He admitted to using Ketchup on Spaghetti. That alone should be a vote of no confidence

King Hippo

even my little brother growing up (who put ketchup on steak and RICE) wasn’t quite that disgusting.

Redshirt

I put ketchup on everything. I put it on a tuna sandwich. From the bottle. But even I think this is too far.

Vikes are 1-3-1 since the Minneapolis Miracle.

King Hippo

I will give my fantasy site credit, for having the balls to rank Baby Buster #2 in their weekly rankings for Week 4.

Bet he’s #1 for Week 5.

I’ve been wondering where the Rams defensive line has been all game, but I guess they only arrived at the stadium in the 4th.

Did anyone watch the new Magnum PI? Is it as bad as I expect?

How old do you think we are?!

Leave it to the West Coast to turn an NFL Thursday Night game into a fun west coast college game….

Fronkenshteen

Well hello there young, fresh fellows! Say, how’s my “Under” bet holding O SWEET JESUS WHAT THE FACKIN’ FACK?!?!

Beerguyrob

So this is your doing/fault.

Donald needs to give Clay Matthews some sacking lessons.

Col. Duke LaCross

I notice Mack hasn’t been flagged for one either despite plowing into the QB on damn near every play. Perhaps Matthews is just trash?

fleshwound_NPG

A defense has happened!

Beerguyrob

Not Clay Matthews. No flag.

Gatoraids

theyll have to run back the punt to make up for it

Beerguyrob

I’ve seen enough ads – “First Man” looks like Gosling Oscar bait.

Spur

Don’t talk shit about Baby Goose!

Beerguyrob

Not shit talking Baby Goose. Shit talking the process.

JustStopDude

I keep getting Jim from the office as being Jack Ryan from that shitty author that did a bullshit claim to get out of Vietnam but than became a dickhead right wing “let’s invade every country possible” dick head.

The dude that did hunt for red october.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Glad you narrowed that down there at the end, pretty wide net you cast there otherwise.

JustStopDude

Ain’t that the cracker truth….

JustStopDude

I love the magic concussion tent.

So I am kind of a smart guy. I mean I got a BS in mechanical engineering and an MS in electrical engineering. That does not mean I am smart…just I can hit a goal.

I’m not a crack head at least.

I did six years in the navy on active duty. I then did five years as an army contractor. I think…THINK I got between 10 and 15 concussions. I think that is well below the average NFL player.

At least once or twice a year, I will come to…in the middle of a sentence…where I am talking…and I have to discretely reach down am make sure I am wearing pants. I will just suddenly come two…and I am in a middle of a sentence…where I have no idea where I am at or what I am doing.

And this is from random blows to the head.

So the idea that some can get concussed…and magically go into a quickie tent and get fixed…that is HILARIOUS to me.

In a related note….the NFL union is a fucking joke.
