Perhaps some of you snorted at the headline and said, “How apropos.”. Well, it would only be apropos if the game involved Baltimore. (I like this joke quite a bit) Seriously, the NFL can’t afford to piss off the dozen or so of us Canadians that would have taken the game in. You started it, I’m going to end it with my consumer bucks. I’m never switching to Geico and Bud Lite will never touch my tongue. Nevermind that I wouldn’t do those things anyway, it’s the principle of the thing and now all the NFL executives that lurk on this blog know where I stand.
TO THE GAMES!
Den/KC:
Some hope for the Broncs? They’re the only team to hold the Chiefs in check for 30 minutes or so. Also, said Chiefs are down to their 3-string center so there might be an opportunity for the d-line to get to the qb. Not hope? Keenum has to match Mahomes TD for TD.
Cle/Pit:
Is it too much to ask for these teams to play to a second tie in the same season? Probably, although if you look at the Browns games to date they’ve lost 4 games by a field goal. They’re so close to a) getting over the hump, and b) getting that second tie. (maybe they should play a game in Windsor-that might cinch it)
TB/Cincy:
Open the plenty o’points floodgates! Between these two D’s there are at least 6 starters that are going to be no-shows. Desean Jackson has requested a trade because he thinks he’s the same player he was more than half a decade ago.
NYJ/Chi:
Can’t help but feel that that this game has out-sized importance to both combatants. Each team seems to be headed in the right direction although I think that Hippo jumped on the Bears bandwagon a year early.
Bal/Car:
My under-the-radar, oh-so-sneaky, all-or-nothing fantasy flyer is rook wr D.J. Moore. He has come along slowly but has earned Newton’s trust and is seeing the ball more.
Was/NYG:
This is my official “KILL IT WITH FIRE” pick. I’ll still watch because… Well, just because-I don’t need a reason do I?
Sea/Det:
Tyrone Swoopes, we hardly knew ye. “Who is he?”, you ask. Just the 4th string te of the Squawks, that’s all. His one catch for 23 yards was beauty personified. But don’t worry Mrs. Swoopes, if your son clears waivers he’ll most likely end up back on the practice squad.
Please wash your icky parts before commenting.
Odell is NFL Kanye.
Just sitting down to watch some sports. See the Toronto team has just scored to make it 4-3 against Montreal. Now without googling it am I watching the Argos or the ice Argos?
Handoff on 3rd and 15? What’s up, Giants? Was the screen pass in the shitter?
Bring back Fitzmagic!
Rapey-ception!
INTERCEPT IT RIGHT IN THE —
ODELL.
Kansas City isn’t benefiting from the same number of lucky bounces this year as they usually do. They’re just…good. This fills me with dread that they won’t implode spectacularly in the playoffs. I know, I know, it’s what they do. But still…I worry.
Never doubt The Prophecy of Andy Reid
He truly is our Neo.
But just think of the upper hand GRUDEN will have in the ’19 draft with KC picking 32nd!!!!
Counterpoint:
tfw you hear kc just opened up another all you can eat bbq joint
[apple watch says “get up”]
[throws apple watch against wall, dials up pornhub]
Odell cares about your fantasy team.
Hot take: the teal jerseys are the Panthers’ best jerseys, and they should wear them as much as possible.
Not very good with Kentucky being good in football as well.
Nothing is weirder than Kansas being good at football.
Beatie MixonDOWN WOO!!!
I fucking hate LaGuardia. One tv showing DEN/KC (and what’s up with settling for a FG there?) No where to buy a drink, and I can’t find an open outlet so I can at least try to stream red zone on my phone. Screw this airport
Screw this airport

And that was by DESIGN. Again, Todd Bowles is garbage.
*walks up to and taps mic*
More like Toilet Bowles, amirite?
I have four monitors going on my PC right now: one is RedZone, two is this Open Thread, three is my CFL post for the week, and four is TweetDeck. My fifth screen isn’t pointed at my desk, so I can’t use it in the current setup… it’s times like these where I really need a sixth screen so I can have all four of my fantasy teams updating at the same time without having to tab over. But my laptop is so far away… Life is a struggle, truly.
Folks, a couple weeks ago I discovered something I never thought I’d want or need: The Mexican version of Redzone.
I didn’t know I needed this in my life until now, but I clearly do.
Not sure if it was a straight analog to Red Zone, but it rotated through games and was the only way I could see the Bears somehow fuck up harder than the Dolphins fucked up in overtime.
Cohen just took the Jets down to the river and fed them tea and oranges that came all the way from China.
That’s vintage Todd “Defensive Whiz” Bowles right there. Guy fuckin sucks.
Son just projectile vomited again. I feel like a pit crew when it happens, Mrs Cola grabs him and I rush in and clean up the mess.
Like the kids that mop up the sweat when an NBA player hits the hardwood.
Exactly
Ya gotta change that kid’s oil and please-don’t let him run around in circles anymore.
$36,000 for health care using the 2% cash back on the CapitolOne card means that business spent $1.8million on a business credit card. I’m not expert on biodegradeable restaurant packaging but that seems like a staggering amount to put on a credit card. I mean, it might be brilliant if he’s using his CapitolOne card AND taking early pay discounts. But I just have a hard time seeing how an office with like 8 people has that much in CC expenses.
Thank you, I was wondering about that. Your health care scares me.
It’s such a shit system. I’ll say this to keep my rant short — the GOP believes in the free market. Well, watching state and foreign governments is the free market. That’s where we should be getting our ideas. But since republicans can live in two conflicting realities at the same time, they’re convinced that mimicking the correct way to handle health care is wrong but the broken for-profit system that does not work is right.
So I’ll just say this — I’m glad Trump’s murderers are finally at least targeting vulnerable senior citizens. The love their broken systems because they’ve always been insulated from it. Well, you reap what you sow, Boomers. Reap and die.
All 8 employees and the owner drive $200K Ferraris as company cars.
But is the dealership allowing them to put those on a credit card? Even if not Ferraris, consider the auto dealer industry makes their real money on financing — their financing. They aren’t going to pay all those fees for the buyer to use a credit card. The same should likely go for all their vendors — if they’re going to lose 3% so the guy can make 2%, they’ll sit his ass down and offer him 2.5% for being early pay with a check or something.
My options?
Was/NYC
Cle/Pitt
Den/KC
Sea/Det
If the Bills were playing I’d get them as well. Don’t bow to me all at once-it’s embarrassing.
No Redzone?
No but Green Zone is playing on one of the movie channels. Matt Damon is so dreamy…
Just watch that and The Hunt for Red October at the same time and you’re golden.
You know what’s great about watching the Jets offense? You can just ignore first and second down because you know they’re going to ineffectively run it between the tackles on both plays, inevitably leaving them with a 3rd and 7.
Donkeys showing some balls
Todd Bowles deserves better than the NYJ
I’d welcome that dude to run the Cardinals D any day.
And, right now, I’d even say it’d be an upgrade to bring him in to run the offense.
Donks WOO!!!
Pass it to Lindsay Wagner. She’s bionic!
And a Valkyrie!
Giants vs. Redacteds is the Fox broadcast in LA? Are you kidding me?
[checks other possibilities]
Yeah, makes senses.
Gentlemen.
Whose the new guy?
DEN/KC & NYG/WSH as my AM slot options.
“HEY, REST OF THE COUNTRY, WE KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HEARING ABOUT ANYTIME WE HAVE A SNOW DAY OR A RAIN STORM SO WE THOUGHT YOU’D LOVE TO WATCH OUT ONE-WIN SHIT NFL TEAM! GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD! LOOK AT OUR PIZZA!”
-New York
Yeah but look at Fox’s other options. Can’t say I blame them.
I don’t know, I might prefer SEA-DET.
Gimmie a rerun of JAX v PHI.
Denver trying the Ground Chuck approach.
/just threw a bomb to Sanders
Hey Dickhead, throw it to AJ Green.
Afternoon, folks. Snowing here in Canadia today. Perfect afternoon to sit pantsless on the couch and watch football until my eyes bleed. Of course, I’d also say the same if it were 75 and sunny with zero humidity, but such is life!
It’s 76, sunny, and 50% humidity here. It’s been gray and rainy for the last six weeks. But I’m doing the same as you.
Boyd is dead
Probably too late to unstart him I guess.
Wow, that’s a crazy stat. If the Bears manage 450+ yards today, they’ll tie the record for most games in a row to do it.
A semi-competent Bears offense might be the lone bright spot in the darkest timeline we’re living in.
if that doesn’t disqualify and discredit this offensive era i do not know what else will
Yeah, no shit!
shannon spake…remember her derping her way through nascar races, and now she doin nfl gigs?!

Have you tried a VPN and an illegal stream? Not that that’s what I do?

I’m starting Nick Chubb over Isaiah Crowell today because of a) bye weeks b) don’t want to root against the bears and c) I’m an idiot
couch appears to be crooked, ground clearance is higher on one side

It’s Mitch Trubiskey isn’t it?
