Your “Come One, Come All”* Monday Night Football Open Thread

ESPN has been shoving this game down our throats and I don’t blame them one bit. Back in my bartending days, the Monday Nighter was must-see football. I had the dining room shift at the time and myself and the wait staff would shoo prospective diners up to the second floor area and towards the appetizer menu. We’d close up shop and rendezvous at a bar by the name of “TRAMPS”. The joke that I told to my girlfriend at the time (now wife) was that the place was owned by all my ex-girlfriends. That went over well, btw.

The greatest tilt I’ve ever witnessed on the first day of the work week was a 7-3 Niners win over the Giants way back in ’90. You (and makers of listicles) can have your “Jets Miracle Comeback” or your “Montana Squeaks by the Broncos” or your “Rook RB Earl Campbell Runs Wild” or your “Marino Gives The ’85 Bears Their Only Loss”. (that one is a very close second) The intensity of play between San Fran and NY was only matched by the NFC Championship game later on that year. I’ve never seen anything like it since. TO THE GAME!

Chiefs/Rams:

What can I say? KC’s only loss is to the Pats. The Rams sole L was to the Saints. No one has found a way to stop Mahomes to this point and Goff’s at-home QBR rating is a bananacakes-sponsored 126.5. This isn’t a chess game. This is speed-checkers.

King Me!

And it’s the defense that comes with the icer.

...

Boooooo… no more scoring 🙁

Viva La Tabula Raza

KC STILL with 3 TOs.

Beerguyrob

That’s a broken finger.

Wakezilla

I am starting to think that the defense sliders are set to Rookie

Viva La Tabula Raza

Well this certainly beats the torn-ACL and twisted ankle fest that we would have been treated to had they played this on that minefield in Mexico.

Beerguyrob

The only left is the return of Y. A. Tittle.

clint greasewood

1:49 with all timeouts ? Uh oh

...

First ever NFL game to have each team score 50 or more points.

yeah right

Keep it one hunny!

King Hippo

Could very feasibly still be 61-58

Senor Weaselo

63-57? FG at the gun, matching FGs in OT, then a TD.

The Maestro

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

Horatio Cornblower

TD Rams!

And 1:49 left on the clock, so KC is definitely gonna win this one.

Beerguyrob

TOO MUCH TIME LEFT!!

Petronel

100+ WOO!

First MNF game I’ve been able to stay up and watch this year. Very glad it was this one.

King Hippo

OT becomes possible again

...

Ahahahahahahahaha!

Senor Weaselo

TOO MUCH TIME!

Horatio Cornblower

I can’t take this game any longer. It’s driving me crazy I tell ya! I gotta turn it off or I’ll go mad!!! MAD I TELLS YA!!!

Gatoraids

Some how Kupp will score before the game is over

King Hippo

defenses have to be worn the fuck out

Gatoraids

They don’t seem to have done much this tame should have plenty of energy

Viva La Tabula Raza

Can we just have them play a 5th quarter? This is too good to see it end.

...

I’m hoping for a 54-54 tie

Viva La Tabula Raza

As it stands at 2 minute warning, seems quite possible. Would accept.

Horatio Cornblower

It is not smart at all to keep time on the clock at this point. Burn as much as you can and keep the other team off the field.

Beerguyrob

That pick to a catch would have perfectly summarized this game.

Beerguyrob

Hear me out, scoring committee: single points for kickoffs through the uprights.

yeah right

Hell yes!

Horatio Cornblower

The Giants and Redacteds hold the record for most points in an NFL game, 113, (72-41 for the Redacteds), in 1966.

Can we get 2 TDs and a FG in the next 2:47?

Oh hell yes we can!

...

We’re basically guaranteed scorigami now, so I’m thrilled

Viva La Tabula Raza

Man I thought pats-KC 43-40 was nuts, but this…

Brick Meathook

THIS IS HOLLYWOOD BABE

Senor Weaselo

NEW PERSONAL BEST! At least for Monday Night.

Beerguyrob

TOO MUCH TIME LEFT!

ballsofsteelandfury

Exactly.

Horatio Cornblower

That’s a shit call.

ballsofsteelandfury

So, bear with me, maybe KC should consider running some clock?

Beerguyrob

You play to win the game, Jason Witten!

Viva La Tabula Raza

A couple hours before the game I caught a glimpse of a Sikh guy in a Gurley jersey and a turban in the stands. I wish they could find and show him again.

Horatio Cornblower

Andy Reid, running onto the field for the Punt, Pass and AllYouCanEat contest…

...

MOAR POINTS

SCOAR MOAR POINTS

Beerguyrob

How did Andy Reid not panic and call that time out himself?

...

Andy Reid was the biggest big boy that ever big boy’d.

Horatio Cornblower

I had no idea that was really Andy Reid.

This game is blowing my mind on so many levels.

The Maestro

That video never, ever gets old for me.

Senor Weaselo

Baby Huey Reid sighting!

King Hippo

he were born a husky middle-aged man

yeah right

Wearing his belt under his man breasts.

Beerguyrob

Wow. Consecutive three-and-outs.

Brocky

Horatio Cornblower

This game needs more scotch.

King Hippo

these offenses are capable of this every week, if only they had opponents who could keep up

Viva La Tabula Raza

Graphics indicate Rams with 1 timeout remaining, KC with 3 remaining. WTF, Andy?

Horatio Cornblower

He’s saving his for dessert.

...

The most Andy Reid thing ever would be to take all three back-to-back-to-back right now.

yeah right

Motherfucker redux.

WCS

I don’t mean to harsh the vibe here, but, I just learned that the girlfriend of a guy I graduated high school with has gone missing while vacationing in Mexico, and while not presumed dead yet, doesn’t look good.

ballsofsteelandfury

Where in México?

Horatio Cornblower

Sorry to hear that.

Brocky

Saw a blurb on that online. Sucks to hear that’s hitting so close to home

yeah right

Hoping for the best. Damn.

Petronel

What everybody else said. Hope she turns up safe and sound.

Beerguyrob

So, they are now 27 points over the over.

The Maestro

That line seems laughable in retrospect.

yeah right

Motherfucker.

Game Time Decision

Banana cakes is not strong enough. We need something stronger to quantify this game

ballsofsteelandfury

Bananarumcakes?

Beerguyrob

Banana Rum Ham?

Brick Meathook

GREAT GOOGLY-MOOGLY

Petronel

Plantain pastries? Or the old standby:

...

We’re at unicorns cumming rainbows at this point

Viva La Tabula Raza

Looking at the score I’d say Fuck those defenses are for shit, but then I’d find out that a lot of the scores were due to defense and I’d call myself a dumbfuck for making those kind of assumptions.

ballsofsteelandfury

You’re not that far off, though. Big plays on defense don’t negate being unable to stop someone.
