Your “Just One Game This Afternoon, Folks” NFL Football Open Thread

Ever get picked last for any sport? Ever showed up to a store one minute after it closed? Did your fave resto run out of the ‘special’ that caught your eye? Ever gone to the fridge for that one last beer and realize that the one you just finished off was your last one?

Sure you have. These are First World problems and these are the sources (among many, many others) that cause us to feel disappointment. If I was a Seahawks/Niners tilt that gained sentience, I too would be disappointed about having to play the only other game in the 4pm window across from the Pats/Stillers tussle. I’d be wracked with self-esteem issues and would morbidly check the game’s ratings the following day so that I could wallow in inadequacy once again. TO THE GAMES!

Seattle/San Fran:

The one working headlight on the Seahawks “We’re Going To The Playoffs” bus can almost spot the post-season off on the horizon. A smackdown of a Niners team jockeying for draft position is just the ticket that is likely to get punched.*

*I’d like to make it clear that not in any way, shape or form is ‘ticket’ regarded by me to be gendered as female. Domestic violence is a serious issue-besides, the ticket was like that when I got here.

Pats/Steelers:

I yinzed up my basement by letting the toilet overflow, slashing the leather couch and drunk-texting my hot 20-something cousin. For today we are all free to let out that inner yinzer as we cheer against the Pats. [runs thru backyard wearing only an ill-fitting t-shirt] WWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!

There was beer at the beer store.

Guys…I just got a friend request by a guy that does by “Satan” on facebook.

I’m going to friend him and see where it goes.

I swear to god modern American culture is fucking awful…who green lights these shows?

Dunstan

I thought everyone’s Facebook account already came with Zuckerberg as a friend?

Fronkenshteen

My wife just pointed out that these two teams (Pitt & NE) are so often gifted calls by the officials that the refs must be genuinely confused as to who they’re supposed to throw the game for.
I love her.

Everyone seems intent on rubbing Robert Kraft’s dick because he spoke at the Tree of Life synagogue, but he’s still way to cozy with white supremacists to get any credit from me.

I don’t think he consented to that.

King Hippo

the last Donks hope is that our fat man pickerception is what keeps PIT out of the playoffs.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Donks do not deserve to even sniff it.

King Hippo

true, nowhere close to playoff caliber, really

I’m pretty happy about the Bears winning the division (although it’s still really strange to think I’ll be watching my team in January this year!) but honestly beating the Packers to do it means so much. That team has been victimizing me my whole damned life lol

King Hippo

closes the circle on that Week One shittastrophe too.

...

Oh God yes. It’s amazing how long ago that seems now.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Heck, you might even be watching them in February*!

*if you record the games now and rewatch them then.

Root for Death

King Hippo

we all LOVE death, though

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

The eternal victor.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Mainly I just want to see whatever causes the Chiefs the most problems. I have a hard time seeing the Patriots ending up as anything other than the 2 or 3 seed, so what happens in this game doesn’t matter all that much to me.

rockingdog

alright gang Im taking your advice and have James white as my FLEX.
come on patriots!!!

Each side of my Raging Semi! is down to 4 players, but I have a 41.5-point edge. THANK YOU Hopkins and Beatie!

/as long as I get credible output from Baby Buster and Gurley Man, should be a’ight.

//FANTASY PRO TIP – if you have two star offensive players from the same side (as I does with RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!!), it’s a very useful hedge to own their kicker (as I do with Zeuerlein).

Stupid question that may not have an answer:

Is there any way to predict when certain playoff games will be played? I need to plan accordingly

...

Not really. You know which time slots the games will be played (Saturday late afternoon, Saturday night, Sunday early afternoon, Sunday late afternoon) but the matchups aren’t decided until the standings are final.

King Hippo

the 500s will play Sabado afternoon. One can plan on that shit.

Gratliff

Important to end the charade as early as possible

But…but…the cooksource is a skillet or a grill. Can you cook a burger with steam only and how long would it take?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

White Castle burgers are cooked via steam.

Redshirt

No hot grill though. Only steam? Huh.

Gratliff

Just got around to the early finals and I am not okay with Kurt Cousins leading a team to the playoffs, I don’t care how important it is to Drew’s recovery.

King Hippo

/was really everyone OTHER than Cap’n Dingleberry

We have established that Ray Liotta still smoke and is lying. On the other hand I think the people making the commercial just added some pepper and thickened up the soup and that Dak really likes the Chunky.

Re: punched ticket.

My wife listens to the Anna Farris podcast. She put it on the car the other day and the guest was Bill Hader. So her co host, commenting on a guy not going after a girl even though his buddy won’t make his move anyways, says “it’s fair game.” Farris then scolds him suggesting it was made as if the girl is “just game.” Which wasn’t even the case in the context of his statement. Anyways, the cohost FOLDS LIKE A WET NAPKIN.

So now I know what it feels like to look at the generation of men after you and say, “what a bunch of pussies. Be a man!”

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

She is kind of gamey after the camping trip.

...

Is Hue Jackson condemned to coach an Ohio team forever or something?

King Hippo

Domestic violence is a serious issue-besides, the ticket was like that when I got here.

This is the Steelers’ last best hope to win anything for about a decade. Lose this game and the window is closed, nailed shut, and painted over.

With Big Ben’s guards standing watch in front of it.

Good. I’m almost as sick of Steelers as I am of the Patriots.

King Hippo

I am affirmatively rooting for the P*ts today. Now THIS feels dirty, but is another “team with Uncle Joe to stop Hitler” situation.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

You are fucking sick.

King Hippo

one ass-licking, Shield-favoured side in the AFC playoffs is better than TWO!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I have one desire above others; the P*ts get beat…. even if it is by the rapist.

King Hippo

secondarily, I need the Chefs well-motivated next Sunday night, even if Clippers du Merde lose.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

My great-uncle Joe called Yoko Ono a “flat-faced Jap” until the day he died.

He ruled.
