Your “Playing in a Winter Wonderland” AFC Playoff Game Open Thread

They (people) are saying as of the morning time that the snow’s a’falling and will taper off during the afternoon. WHO WILL THIS FAVOR? HOW? WHY? I MUST KNOW! WILL THERE BE SLUSH? WILL SOMEONE THAT DOES’NT USUALLY WEAR GLOVES BE WEARING GLOVES?

Sorry for the rampant capitalization folks-I was just preparing you for the most important screeching queries the pre-gamers will be filling air-time with. That said, ‘snow football’ is a precious treat that doesn’t come along nearly as often as it should. Anyone remember that game where no one could see the sideline or the yard markers? I do, sorta. I recall that there were two teams involved and that one of them beat the other. God, memories… [sighs]

TO THE GAME!

Young Horsies/Old Native Americans:

As far as injuries are concerned wr Sammy Watkins is expected to parka up but safety Malik Hooker (on the hook to help tamp down the influence of Tyreek) is questionable.

The delightful A. Schefter has pointed out-as have many others-that the Colts have won as many playoff tilts at Arrowhead as have the Chiefs themselves. So there might be something to my theory that the stadium was built on an old Indian’s* Pet Cemetery Scorned Woman Wrongfully-Executed Man Burial Ground. Subscribe to my blog if you want to learn more.

I am a bit concerned that if one combines the above with Andy Reid’s playoff adventures/negative clock juju, the Chiefs might have too much going against them. The Colts have scored TD’s on their first two drives in each of their last two games but then tend to settle into the running game and let the D do the lifting the rest of the game. You and I [winks] both know that a two-score lead is nothing to a fella that tossed 50 six-pointers this past regular season. The Colts OC Nick Sirianni (why is this guy not more prominently mentioned these days?) says that his #1 job is to put up points today and he’ll most likely have to do a 40-spot ’cause them KC’ers average 35 overall.

Is the laundry folded? Okay, now you can watch the game.

*forgive the outdated nomenclature but damnit, I needed it in order to make the joke work

That would’ve been so funny if the Chief defender lifted up the other leg and the Colt runner propelled himself with his hands leading the Chief like a wheelbarrow.

Murray thinks Mack is a snowplow.

yeaaaaa looks like HODOR & horses gonna take the L

down 3 scores with under 8? DEFFO double down on the run, now.

Down by three scores. Half a quarter left. Let’s establish our running game!

Luck starting to resemble Peyton on that one

Seems like that would have been a slam dunk endorsement opportunity for Eric Fisher.

fleshwound_NPG

jeff fisher if the sammich were 0.79 each

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oh I meant the Fisher Investments ad. Maybe that wasn’t national.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Chefs punter quietly having a very solid game.

King Hippo

yep, and can hardly blame him for the blown OL assignment on the block

Sack dancing when you’re losing is the NFL’s participation trophy

WCS

/James Harrison triggered

Horatio Cornblower

Jesus, every sack dance while down 17 just makes me want the Colts to lose this game, their wives, their homes, their dignity, their minds….

In other words, pretty much what they can expect after 5 years in the NFL anyway.

King Hippo

First play call I question – no way do I call another pass play the rest of the game

WCS

If the league was serious about the Pro Bowl, they’d use NFL Blitz rules.

King Hippo

/also land mines

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

No, FedEx field would be a terrible venue for the Pro Bowl.

Is Hogan racist now, in addition to all his other terrible qualities?

Redshirt

Possibly yes. At the very least, stupid. Very, very, very stupid.

Gratliff

It came from the same sex tape Gawker got gutted for, and was transcripted for the trial

“I don’t know if Brooke was f*cking the black guy’s son,” Hulk raved, the sources add.

“I mean, I don’t have double standards. I mean, I am a racist, to a point, f*cking n*ggers. But then when it comes to nice people and sh*t, and whatever.” …

According to sources, he said: “I mean, I’d rather if she was going to f*ck some n*gger, I’d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall n*gger worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player!

“I guess we’re all a little racist. Fucking n*gger.”

Gratliff

It was so bad, that when Vince decided it was okay to reinstate him, he didn’t even punish the Black wrestlers for not pretending to agree with the decision.

Horatio Cornblower

Yikes.

WCS

SMRT returning there.

King Hippo

is Tyreek Hill brain damaged? Just fair catch it and run the game out.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

He doesn’t know how to act like he’s been there before. None of the Chiefs do.

King Hippo

Mahomes-y has! And Damien WIlliams.

NFL Players are starting to discipline themselves because the league sure as hell doesn’t.

“It really helped turn the NFL into what it is today”

A corrupt authoritarian para-State with a misogynistic streak?

WCS

Al’s drunkness is finally showing.

King Hippo

one might note that the Chefs had two yuuuuuugggge random momentum plays (the punt block TD, the punched out fumble inside own 20) yet have maintained a 3-score lead almost the entire way.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

If the Colts were worth a shit this would be a one-score game.

King Hippo

me still think your hatred is making ya short-change how good the Chefs have been today (outside of thoe oopsie-doodles)

King Hippo

/LIEK I does every time the P*ts or Yinzers play

Either this is going to be the greatest Chiefs collapse ever, or it’s not.

Senor Weaselo

So as I feel like I’m uniquely qualified to ask: Does Andy Reid still have his gallbladder? I feel like against all odds he does.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

You’d think he’d be making a fortune by doing endorsements for gout medicine.

Col. Duke LaCross

I had mine out with the WLS and now leafy greens are torture on my guts, so my guess is probably not.

Senor Weaselo

That’s not just me then? You’d think leafy greens would be a good thing but every once in a while bad things happen to me.

Col. Duke LaCross

Naw, on the rare occasion I eat salad anymore it’s just solid vegetables.

Frankly, Andy should just get the Duedonal Switch surgery. All the fat and protein you can eat (which isn’t very much) plus nobody that knows he had it done will look at him twice for smearing butter on everything.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Oh but the skin flaps.

Col. Duke LaCross

Don’t get me wrong, I look like a war crime naked, but at least I ain’t got a foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel either.

WCS

He should really do these Allstate commercials as Pedro Cerrano.

“Insurance for bats. Keep bats safe.”

Senor Weaselo

I’d watch the shit out of that.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Goddamn, Arby’s Sauce is an underrated condiment.

‘The Enemy Within’ is also what Andy Reid calls his colon.

Fat Humps suckitude will outpace any Andy Reid meltdowniness.

I haven’t seen a Reich-led faction make such a fatal mistake since 1941.

The Clots steadfastly refuse to accept The Reidening.

The momentary danger of this becoming competitive has passed.

Turnovers for all! “Mmm…” -Andy

Horatio Cornblower

The Reidening has been postponed.

King Hippo

WOMP WOMP, no Narrative today

Mr. Ayo

SUDDEN CHANGE!

King Hippo

that can’t possibly be blamed on Andy, just a fuck up and really good defensing effort

Horatio Cornblower

That’s the best challenge by a Reich since the Germans took back the Ruhr.

King Hippo

ruh roh

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Ooh, things are starting 45 seconds early!

Senor Weaselo

As I said, Reich’s men going to hostile snowy territory controlled by a red army, what could go wrong? Turns out, a lot.

Senor Weaselo

Wait, ball’s out. The Reidening may be on.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

When I picture the home of the DFO gods it actually looks a lot like that Taco Bell commercial.

can the KC defense do this next week?

Redshirt

Fire up the Glue Factory. This one’s over!

King Hippo

ideally the final margin is 4-16 points

King Hippo

hey guys, maybe we think about establishing the run?

Horatio Cornblower

The Colts better come back, because this “I haven’t seen a Reich come back like this since 1939” joke isn’t gonna make itself.

If I wanted to see a bunch of happy fat asses I would have gone to Golden Corral.

skinny folk ain’t going out in this cold

Gratliff

They built one here about 6 months ago and my experiences with them out east were nightmare inducing. Shockingly disease-free with a new building, but they must’ve been backing those motherfuckers into the place in dump trucks. Exponentially higher average BMI than the rest of that region.

Horatio Cornblower

‘Corral’ is the most truthful thing about that franchise.

Stupid question from following the game on mobile, how did Kc not get a first down from the indy penalty
