Your Afternoon-ish NFC Wild Card Game Open Thread

I finish this intro off with 6 minutes left in the Bolts/Dead Birds game. Please Football Deity, let your glorious light shine through in this tilt in the form of touchdowns, great catches, good execution on both sides of the ball, clever play-calling and solid defense. We have been dutiful all the year long and deserve better. Amen.

TO THE GAME!

Brotherly Love/Broad Shoulders:

 

I hope that neither of the kickers here win the Mike Badgley of Honor Award for their actions today. I mentioned in the autre intro that the Ravens had shut opponents down over the last few games to the tune of 13 per. Dose Bears have done even better over their last four-10 points they’ve surrendered on average. This is a great time of the year to be putting the thumbscrews to hapless miscreants that happen to wander on to the turf. One caveat-Foles has over the last 3 games been number uno in passing yards, completion percentage, yards per attempt and net yards per pass attempt. He’s caught and maintained fire before so who knows how things might play out.*

*one of the ways it’s gonna play out is that the Bears defenders are going to target those bruised ribs and rough him up a little. That’s just what aggressive D’s try to do. Inflict pain.

As for the Truth Biscuit, qb’s seeing their very first playoff action (see: Jackson & Watson) usually need to get a loss under their game cups in order to understand what it takes to come out on top. If he just plays the game-managing game and stands back so that the other talent flourishes he should be okay.

Buckle up-should be a good ‘un.

I’ve run out of interest in discussing this issue further.

Now that I have seen the kick post-gig, I think after that kind of hit off the post Cody Parkey’s going to get in some sort of trouble and as community service have to coach a rag-tag, down-on-their-luck youth football team. After some tough games and tough practices the team bonds together, and thanks to some questionable zoning calls picks up the star player from the archrival team. And then they start winning some games and ultimately make it to the championship where we learn that he banged one off the upright and crossbar when he was playing on that rival team. Which causes the football team to lose trust in him, then gain it back by him doing something outlandish. Ultimately after their signature play which may or may not be legal it’s up to the kid whose mom Parkey’s now porking to make the game-winning field goal. He tells the kid to do some sort of triple move before the game-winning kick, which goes off the upright, crossbar… and this time, it goes in. And then eventually they make an expansion team with the same name as that team, because Disney.

I haven’t logged on here for a while, but in my what the fuck was that loss depression, figured I’d come on here to see what I’ve missed. And I see that I missed a post a month ago hating on Harold Baines. (1) As a White Sox fan who’s favorite player growing up was Baines, anyone who doesn’t think he belongs in the Hall of Fame can suck it. Harold is a HOFer and that overrated, bat-corking juicer Sosa isn’t! (2) Parkey is Einhorn.

Hey Litre, I heard about Fulham. How you doing, bud?

I think the Eagles win more than made up for his shitty soccer team.

That was pretty laughable, though. Is Oldham a third division side?

WTF? On my desktop this is a gif of John Cleese as the idiot in bed with two girls (which is what I posted). On my iPad there is a photo of a car here. Anybody else see a car? (not that anyone’s reading this)

ballsofsteelandfury

I see a car. I’m on my phone.

ballsofsteelandfury

Is this the new blue dress gold dress?

Mr. Ayo

I see what you meant.

ballsofsteelandfury

Do you see a car or John Cleese?

Mr. Ayo

Cleese of course. I’m not terrible at the internet.

Brick Meathook

This is really weird! It’s a link from PostImage, not a copy/paste link.

Brick Meathook

I’ve refreshed both my iPad and my desktop machine and it stays the same: Cleese gif on the desktop, picture of car on the iPad. I blame that kicker for the Bears.

ballsofsteelandfury

That is fucking strange. I followed the link to the source image and I still saw the car.

Brick Meathook

What’s the image address for the car you are seeing?

Well, shit. Turns out the Parkey kick was actually a block, so maybe don’t gather up that lynch mob just yet.

Not sure that’s going to be sufficient to dissuade Bears fans.

They crave more than just the tip.

...

We’re a malicious, vengeful people

Redshirt

No, they’ll gather and lynch the lineman who allowed that block and sullied Poor Parkey’s good name.

...

I do love the Bears fans in the mentions insisting the tip meant nothing.

Raiden’s a bitch, the main plot continues to try to be too weird/clever/God knows what, and there are waayyyy too many stupid subplots.

Meanwhile, Tanker is straightforward Metal Gear at it’s pinnacle.

Hideo Kojima is and always has been an insane person. Here’s the ending of Snatcher, where Metal Gear (the helpful robot companion) is magically okay after being destroyed, but had to have his main body replaced with a Sega CD.comment image

Snatcher is a bad acid trip on a fever dream with a double hit of peyote.

Just finished watching it. Was an enjoyable run – last year’s runner did a great job too.

We have 3 people watching the Portal AGDQ race. Do we have enough to justify liveblogging?

Parkey doing the locker-room interview, accepting blame, not falling apart. Kinda impressive in its way.

*Doug Pederson steps out of the shadows smoking a cigarette* “You did good. Didn’t think you could pull off a trick shot like that.”
“Yeah, well I’m gonna be jobless tomorro-”
*Pederson tosses a briefcase at Parkey, he fumbles it and it falls to the ground*

I’m here for you (Bengals-Steelers 2015 Playoffs). The next few hours are going to be dark. You may be hate watching the TV on mute for hours on end. Eventually you’ll come to the conclusion that based on how they played, the right team lost today and even if they won, they wouldn’t have lasted past next week.

You will get through this.

I’ll be fine. This is kinda hilarious because ultimate my expectations were never *that* high.

But shit. The next round was right there.

It’s gonna be at least three hours before I’m sober enough to go home. Fuck everything.

Well folks, this season was technically still better than I had predicted and I’m still angrier than if they had just gone 8-8 and been eliminated in Week 15.
