Your “And Then There Were Only Three” NFC Champeenship Game Open Thread

But scrotchnat, you slur through your 5th mimosa, there’s two teams playing and four teams remaining. You can’t count worth a McFiggins! Well, you got me on the the ‘not being able to count’ observation but I will counter that I was talking about the number of games left.

Yup, that reality that everyone knows about but no one wants to address. (It’s a lot like a beautiful woman letting rip a real stinker in an elevator full of strangers) There’s only three to be played and 66% of them will be gone in mere hours. We’re winding another season down folks and much like me flexing in a mirror, it ain’t pretty.

TO THE GAME!

Ewe Bangers/Halo Huggers:

Injuries:

The Rams have not a one fella on the injury report but the Saints will be missing te Watson with an appendicitis and wr Kirkwood as well. The latter didn’t get the ball often but in five of the last seven games of the season his longest catch ranged from 19 to 42 yards and he picked up a couple of TD’s along the way.

Surprise!:

With the emergence of C.J. Anderson the Rams have morphed into something of a power running club. This is a huge advantage for The Other Sean because there is so little game film for defenders to look at and you gotta know that McVay is scribbling new plays and formations on a napkin as we speak. On top of this development is the fact that qb Goff has a solid stats vs. the Saints-he’s throwing at a 66% clip and his TD’s far outnumber his INT’s.

Scoreghazi? Nah.:

As mentioned last week by yours truly, the Saints finished up the latter part of the regular season averaging 19 a game and tossed up just 20 last week. Brees is content with Kamaro, Ingram and wr Scott moving the chains rather than looking for the big play. (though he will toss one up if it’s available-Ginn Jr. will be the one to drop it today) Witness last week when the New Orleans O took an entire quarter out of the game on that long drive in the 3rd. Also, cb Talib was missing last time these two met and Scott went off for 200+ yards against cb Peters. Talib is just as physical as Scott and should be able to push him out/off of a route or two.

Ace up sleeve:

I think the edge belongs to the Saints once again. Taysom Hill is what Tim Tebow would be if he was possessed of any humility whatsoever. Secondly, Payton’s proclivity for chancing it on 4th downs tends to pay off. [pulls stat out of nutsack] He’s gone for it 18 times this year and been successful on 15 of them. This could be the difference in a tightly-contested game.

Prediction:

That’s for everyone else-I just know this is going to be a great game. [whispers] Saints by 3.

Let’s tie one on.

The NHL gets a lot of shit wrong, but thankfully it has resisted this nonsense of presenting the trophy to the owner.

Saints started wearing ski masks and shot a video in the locker room to Dreams and Nightmares after last week. Enjoy the pro bowl, you petty fucks.

WCS

So… this just means all the DOINKS are going to come from KC, right?

Total bullshit. The NFL should be embarrassed after that game.

Horatio Cornblower

You say that like the NFL is capable of embarrassment.

Used that make-up call too soon, it appears.

ballsofsteelandfury

That was pass interference too. Ball was never tipped

Senor Weaselo

Live by the tipper, die by the tipper. But enough on why I changed my Smash Bros main from Marth to Lucina.
