Your “That’s a Face Only a Mother Could Love” NFC Playoff Open Thread

Check out the smashed-into-the-windshield-several-times visage of Blake Jarwin. The toothfull grin that indicates that the keys shaken by the photographer please him. The too-small, beady eyes that have no doubt silently observed more than one grandmother undressing at bedtime. The throat devoid of an Adam’s Apple. The sloughing forehead that indicates him thinking, “I hate that Mr. Purrsident Trump! He ain’t bombed a single Guata-mawcallit Caravan yet, like’n he promised!”. Why do I call attention to him? He’s got himself the ‘Questionable’ status after not practicing all week. He showed what a weapon he could be after scoring three TD’s vs. the Giants and the Evangelicals are a bit worried because you know how much they love their ‘Revelations’. [Snickers to self-also, Milky Way’s to self]

TO THE GAME!

Wr Cole Beasley is in the same boat injury-wise but as everyone’s cliche-dar goes off, yeah, he’s going to ‘gut it out’ like the hero puppy he is. “Gut it out” also just happens to be the title of my evisceration-centric autobiography.

Worrying Trend: In their last four games DAK!’s QBR rating has been 4th best in the league. Goff? Before the bye week he was ranked 4th-in the last 4 tilts he’s ranked 25th. Probably has something to do with Kupp’s ACL snapping and Josh Reynolds not doing nearly enough to fill the void despite single coverage.

Just Plain Silliness: The Cowboys D is being called The Hot Boyz? Way to embrace the homo-erotic undercurrent running thru your sport, fellas.

Rams Other Wideouts: They go by the name of Woods and Cooks. That’s also the name of the YouTube channel I head to when I want to watch animal-skinning vids.

Gentlemen, place your bets. You too, commentariat.

Great catch by Elliott on a play that was never going to count anyway.

Spur

I call Dak Prescott, Bird Box, because he doesn’t look at anything

Horatio Cornblower

Well, there we go. Dallas just runs the triple option the rest of the way and we’re good to go.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

So there’s a movie called “The Baxter” which is told from the perspective of the guy who gets screwed over in romantic comedies.

Coming soon: The Daxter.

Horatio Cornblower

The Cowboys are going to get this to 23-20 before going on to lose 42-20, just to crush my dreams.

I never should have run over that old Gypsy woman.

It’s her own fault for immigrating illegally before the wall got finished being built.

Horatio Cornblower

As badly as DAK(!) has played so far, (and he has been very, very bad), the fact that this game is as close as it is seems a testament to Goff not being all that great either.

Spur

yep, Buster has no killer instinct.

Senor Weaselo

N-GCP need the C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER this drive.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

As close as it is? The Rams are up by 16 points!

Horatio Cornblower

I know. They should probably have two more TDs.

Spur

I blame Dak, He can’t sustain a drive. Run the ball asshole. Use your feet dummy.

Horatio Cornblower

It’d be easier if his own men stopped tackling him.

Viva La Tabula Raza

“It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you place the blame.” — Oscar Wilde

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oh, that’s wonderful, and not remotely credible as actually having been said by Wilde.

Spur

Oscar Wilde was way into Cowboys

Horatio Cornblower

Oh really? Well hello, sailor!

Viva La Tabula Raza

Actually, I read somewhere that was a quote from a Dallas player sometime back in the 70s, but could not find the reference with a cursory Google search, so went with what I saw without even opening a webpage.

Unsurprised
BrettFavresColonoscopy

3rd and 3, maybe not so much with the cuteness

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

@balls – my wife has discovered that Dine LA is happening.

SonOfSpam

Tell her it’s Fast Food Dine LA.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

We actually have been making pretty good use of the fast food coupons that show up in the mail.

Gratliff

So Saints and Eagles is for home field in the NFC Championship. I wish I had the smallest amount of faith in Saints losing.

Horatio Cornblower

How would the Eagles get home field over the Rams? Or the Cowboys for that matter, assuming LA quits and goes home in the next three minutes.

Horatio Cornblower

I see. You, however, are failing to account for LA’s propensity to show up en masse and scream and yell for a team that is winning, regardless of the fact that they couldn’t name three players on said team.

Gratliff

Hey now, I live with a Lakers fan. She has watched AT LEAST 1 quarter of basketball since 2011.

Spur

I’d rather have Foles then Brees. Brees is fake Christian

Brocky

… really?

I’ll take his take on righteousness over rivers and tebow any day

Gratliff

Rivers has single-dickedly created the next generation of Christian Right.

Horatio Cornblower

I don’t know about his Christianity, but his willingness to shill for Advo has put me off Brees.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

He was more wide open than a chick attempting DVDA

Col. Duke LaCross

Like a Thanksgiving Turkey.

...

So this trivia is hard to believe but… Mahomes if the first Big 12 QB to *ever* win an NFL playoff game. EVER.

...

Yes, Kordell Stewart won a playoff game and went to Colorado, but that was when it was a Big 8 school.

...

Aikman attended Oklahoma before transferring to UCLA, but again, it was a Big 8 school back then.

WCS

Injun Eyes didn’t at some point?

SonOfSpam

For real? Actually a pretty cool stat.

Brocky

Sam Bradford

Colt McCoy

Chase daniel

Vince young….

Uh…..

Unsurprised

Saw this in a tweet captioned “Dallas fans:”

Spur

welp. only hope now is the Defense do something positive.

SonOfSpam

Sean Lee is awesome from what I hear from every announcer ever, so maybe?

SonOfSpam

Aikman with the great analysis: “Going 3 and out coming out of the half, that’s not what they wanted.”

That’s why he makes the big cocks, er, bucks!

...

So guys, the Bears are doing pretty well tonight aren’t they?

*eye twitches*

*whole body twitches*

*blood oozes from ears, eyes, and nose*

AHahehehahaehaha!

SonOfSpam

CLANG

SonOfSpam

ICRM’s house is just the Tell-Tale Clang at this point.

Col. Duke LaCross

Besides the two day hangover from the twister I went on Sunday night after that travesty, I don’t think a loss has ever made me feel that “empty” as a fan. Made me do a lot of self-reflection this week.

Horatio Cornblower

They really need to flip Dak’s switch from “suck” to “don’t suck”

Romonobyl

Nature abhors a vacuum, and so do I.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Ryan Leaf and…um…his roommate* also abhor vacuums.

*after the SI story today I may retire Marinovich from deadbeat jokes duty. But I need a replacement, much like Todd’s shift managers do for him every three weeks or so after having hired him.

Horatio Cornblower

I don’t have a lot of sympathy for a guy with two kids who can’t keep his shit together, so keep ’em coming.

Gratliff

Gif every millisecond of that play

Romonobyl

This game is seriously lacking in maturity.

WCS

He’ll have all spring and summer to go back to school.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Aw, you guys…

Gratliff

Fukushima Dakchi

Viva La Tabula Raza

Shannon Sharpe should just go all Jim-Everett-on Jim-Rome on Skip Bayless.

WCS

I’d actually watch it if that were the case.

Unsurprised

Same

SonOfSpam

Motherfucking shit yeah.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Whenever I see Shannon Sharpe, I think of this:comment image

Or this:comment image

Brocky

Dude I’m laughing my ass off but that’s just mean

SonOfSpam

Sark is spurning the Desert Cards to stay with Bama. Better moonshine I guess.

Horatio Cornblower

Higher pay.

SonOfSpam

At least for the players.

Unsurprised

.

Dragging that one back to the workshop for “adjustments”

Spur

keep your beady eyed blonde shank, she has Dax stank.
Alexis Bledel is superior in every way.

Mr. Ayo

Rory?!?!

Romonobyl

This is what Dak gets for trying to take on the Empire all by himself.

SonOfSpam

Plus, as a Scientologist she’ll believe anything. YEAH, THIS IS ABOVE AVERAGE.

...

You know losing Fangio sucks but Pagano is basically a lateral move so I’m puzzled some Bears fans are throwing a fit over the hire.

SonOfSpam

Agree totally. Same scheme, competent replacement. SAME LENGTH OF LAST NAME.

WCS

They both have an “a” as the second letter, and “o” as the last!

XEROX OF UBERWEIRDNESS MAYBE

SonOfSpam

Peter King could make like eight columns out of that.

fleshwound_NPG

after giving it thought, he can’t call fake punts as def. coordinator

Col. Duke LaCross

He always had good defenses in Baltimore. Even without the knives.

Gratliff

When you see Dak in trouble in the pocket:

So this is Dakashima in action.

Romonobyl

Hey now…

SonOfSpam

Halftime update: UC Irvine 32, CS Fullerton 12. I’m not sure Fullerton’s a great team this year.

ZOT MOTHERFUCKING ZOT

Col. Duke LaCross

My old college golf coach was Fullerton’s women’s hoops coach a few years ago.

SonOfSpam

Pretty sure their ladyhoops team is bad (dunno for sure). Maybe hire a non golf coach?

Kidding, anyone can coach ladyhoops.

SonOfSpam

More importantly, what’s your handicap?

Spur

Give the team to Chris. he seems to be the only one to care.

Spur

Unsurprised

We’ve reached the “TITS!” part of the evening already?

*Whew*

Romonobyl

At first I thought that guy was Kevin Spacey, then I realized that probably wasn’t Kevin Spacey.

SonOfSpam

Dems is bewbs, not balls.

fleshwound_NPG

“a bowling ball of butcher knives” is a shitty bowling ball

Unsurprised

Serious question. WHAT MANNER OF FUCKERY IS THIS!?!?!

An obvious sack. Why do you ask?

Unsurprised

Obvious to whom?

Horatio Cornblower

These refs.

Senor Weaselo

It had the leg before it two-seamed.

It’s great having a cat because you get to experience a creature that goes from psychotically darting from corner to corner of your house to just lounging about calmly in the span of a minute.

Romonobyl

Minute?

Unsurprised

Romonobyl

Makes sense, I mean Dak IS choking after all.

Hey funboys – get a room!

Senor Weaselo

Gotta finish that suplex!

That reminds me.

I updated the image. Heres how it should go:

Viva La Tabula Raza

So, what lame band is providing the halftime entertainment?

SonOfSpam

Halftime piss when your team is up 13 is a good piss.

Brocky

Tell that to falcons fans

SonOfSpam

They can’t read this, so no worries.

Spur

Greg hurt himself?

rockingdog

Rams looking good.
I’m out. ZOT ZOT!

last funny:
Imagine if birds had jobs. Like a little bird janitor who works all day long just to enjoy a good shit on your car. That’s how he unwinds.

Spur

I fucking hate this team. Design runs for Dak, it will make you happy.

Redshirt

An own sack?

Gratliff

Not many teams can say they collapse in the first half

Horatio Cornblower

If a massacre tonight gets Garrett fired tomorrow I will take it.

Horatio Cornblower

Aikman absolutely loathes Prescott.

Unsurprised

I got nothing

Beerguyrob

More of a dry hump than in the grasp.

2/10 – were not banging.

Senor Weaselo

La’el gets credit for that one, right?

Beerguyrob

Based on the quality officiating, it’s probably Greg Zuerlein

Viva La Tabula Raza

I guess that’s the NFL equivalent of an own-goal.
