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.

Balls and WCS just came a little bit.

The OT otter has shown up in SF, with this fun otter fact : Otters engage in necrophilia!comment image?quality=70&strip=all&w=720&h=480&crop=1

Dunstan

Stupid sexy dead otter….

theeWeeBabySeamus

That seems like something they “otter” not be doing.

/ducks to avoid rotten fruit

rockingdog

exciting!

The 500’s the #2 seed?

Petronel

Neat to see Shazier on the field with the guys just then

Horatio Cornblower

No, that was Brady falling over.
/goes directly to hell.

Petronel

GAH

theeWeeBabySeamus

Brady isn’t very good anymore.
I think maybe I won’t draft him next year.

JustStopDude

Nice of Brady to call the penalty on his own lineman…

It’s the Sharpie.

Horatio Cornblower

That is hypnotic.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Sorry, did you say something?

Horatio Cornblower

There’s your fucking holding call, Tawwmy

Doktor Zymm

Are we watching NE break down? That’s pretty neat

Horatio Cornblower

I still believe Pittsburgh is going to fuck this up

Petronel

Go Tahmy

King Hippo

JEWKAH WOO!!!!

Doktor Zymm

I really hope the night game is good. I have an Eagles fan friend who’s going to the game, and has never seen them play live before. I’m also just super amused because Nick Foles.

Don T

Is it me, or did every NFL player wear gold chains today?

Doktor Zymm

Is that not normal?

Horatio Cornblower

Josh McDaniels is really showing his offensive genius as Brady ages.

King Hippo

18-17, LET’S DO THIS!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

We must haz uglee tie.

King Hippo

ACCEPTABLE!

Doktor Zymm

The obnoxious drizzle at the SEA/SF game fully encapsulates my feelings about the 49rs

King Hippo

YUUUUUUUUGGGGGGE

rockingdog

Damnit. pats not looking good.

Dunstan

The surpise in Romo’s voice when he realized the penalty was on the Pats speaks volumes.

/Steelers get a crucial first-down, allowing them to bleed time off the clock
//Steelers gain a yard on a run
///Ben flings the ball 50 yards downfield in the general vicinity of several players, some his, some not. Clock stops.
////Ben calls a time-out

I love how one guy’s job was to hold Winona back during that speech.

King Hippo

if they would stick with Samuels, they’d be up 3 scores

King Hippo

oddly enough, SeaTruthers/Tomsulas turned into the best-played match of the day.

Redshirt

And a Steelers win might eliminate the Bengals. Great.

I just love the announcers reaction to Brady making a mistake. They act like its the first time they seen someone common like a cloud or grass.

Doktor Zymm

I CALL THIS GAME CAMELOT BECAUSE IT IS A SILLY PLACE

Horatio Cornblower

Brady makes a godawful pass, resulting in an INT.

Romo: “Brady never makes that kind of mistake!”

He just did. Just now. You saw him do it.

Dunstan

Well, it’s hardly surprising that Romo is fellating Brady. Romo always goes down in December.

Petronel

BANNER THIS MAN

Horatio Cornblower

Seconded.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’m trying, but wordpress is being a bitch today.

Redshirt

I look forward to reading this comment for the next few days or weeks on the top of every page of DFO.

Horatio Cornblower

They do seem to hang around, don’t they?

King Hippo

HOT TAEK – neither of these chucklefucks is a Top 5 QB in the NFL (anymore)

Horatio Cornblower

Neither is Aaron Rodgers, and believe me I know, because I drafted his dead ass in the 3rd round this year and have been reaping 15-18 points a week from him ever since.

King Hippo

agreed

That moment when you’re happy Brady did something stupid, but then remember you had to start him this week because Carson Wentz is a pussy.

Petronel

Brady brain farting that he’s Wilson for a sec there

Dunstan

Dreamboatception? DREAMBOATCEPTION!

Redshirt

If I was a rival fan, I would so sneak onto the sidelines and replace the oxygen tanks with helium.

Doktor Zymm

Oh hell yeah!

King Hippo

goddamnit, Dreamboat

Doktor Zymm

Do platypus’ make a noise? I bet they go ‘GROOOOOONK’

rockingdog

GRONK 1st down!!!!!

King Hippo

GRONK WOO!!!

Redshirt

BLEERGH with the verbal backspace/retcon.

Doktor Zymm

I’m amazingly ambivalent about this game

Redshirt

“That Challenge makes sense because you were going to time out anyway.”

Is it just me or did Tony Romo make perfect sense?

theeWeeBabySeamus

I was just told by tWLS that she was mad at me earlier because of something I did in her dream.

I’m hesitant to find out what dream sequence tWBS did for fear of having to admit that I probably really did it foar realsies.

As someone who sometimes remembers his dreams, don’t ask her. Dreams can get very weird.

herodotus450

My suggested retort: “Well in my dreams you’re not such a bitch”
/does not have many friends

theeWeeBabySeamus

I would love to say that. LOL.
/not yet drunk enough

Horatio Cornblower

The Wee Leopard Seamus?

theeWeeBabySeamus

That checks out.

Shady refereeing for the P*ts? Get the fuck outta here.

Horatio Cornblower

I don’t think there’s a group of referees in the entire NFL competent enough to effectively rig a game.

Doktor Zymm

Wow, I haven’t had a whiskey and coke in ages, forgot how sweet it is, blegh, soda only after this

King Hippo

YEAH, that’s ow-ah JEWKAH!!

Horatio Cornblower

I was just about to say that there was no way the Steelers were winning this game, and then Big Ben went ahead and Big Ben’d it.

King Hippo

HARFcertion 2: Rapey Boogaloo

Petronel

That’s what he gets for trying to force it in.

Horatio Cornblower

About time he faced some consequences for doing that.

rockingdog

YES!!!!!
pats gotta do something with it!!!

Horatio Cornblower

Rothlisberger’s blind optimism on some of these passes is frankly hilarious.

King Hippo

Jaylen Samuels is absolutely gashing the P*ts, but they have to try and let The Ben play hero ball.

King Hippo

THAT is roughing??

I was literally at the book store just the other day having this exact conversation with myself.

And now I have three more books.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I just bought a new shelf; problem solved.

Redshirt

Just put it in a place that won’t flood (basement). Its a bitch to empty and move.

Doktor Zymm

One of the advantages of the Kindle, I can successfully hide from myself how many books I have

Redshirt

I’ve had that conversion with myself at the store in regards to snack cakes.
