Your “Welcome To Game 1! Only 266 More To Go” Thursday Night Football Open Thread

Jesus Bananacakes! I don’t even know where to begin. I guess I should welcome all you folks back from your non-self-imposed hiatus from the football. It’s nice to see you and my, that ‘no pants’ look really suits you. That chip dip stain on your wife beater should come out just fine, if ever you decide to do laundry again. Hey, I’m kidding. So yes, hello there all you swiggers, sidewalkers, ne’er do-weller’s, hellcats, harlots, schemers, backdoor men, railway cops, geezers, sneezers, dreamers, jive bombers, beard holders, machinists, taffy stretchers, Barbie dolls, tailpipe enthusiasts, shoe smellers, cis-goths, rhubarb lickers, Big Daddies, greasers and what have you.

I’d also like to give a shout-out to all the fellers that pitched in to make all that off-season content. (’cause I sure didn’t but I was very active in the comment section ) We learned quite a bit about soccer, cycling, tennis, golf, basketball, baseball and most importantly, each other. I mean, who knew that the mere presence of a 19 or 20 year-old competitor in the Women’s World Cup could so easily bring out the inner creep in all of us. Maybe some of us. Okay, a select few of us. Whatever, that’s in the past-we’re looking forward now. I’ll never forget you Becky…

Unlike the NFL. Did you hear it’s the 100th season of that little underdog league that morphed into the goliath that it is now? If not, you will and you will be sorry-at some point. My guess is that tonight there’ll be some Walter Payton shots accompanied by the delicate plucking of strings.

Enough of this. You know the drill. TO THE GAME!

Packers/Bears:

I don’t think I’m much wrong perspicating* that this tilt holds a fair bit of weight, even this early in the season. The Vikes as well as these guys will be jostling for position in a ‘should be’ competitive NFC North division all year long. I larfed a bunch when rook coach Matt Lafleur (no relation to Guy Lafleur) said that qb Rodgers would be ‘allowed’ to audible plays as though Mr. New Head Guy had any choice in the matter. The Chicago D is good but if you’re in a deep league and have 6′ 3″ Geronimo Allison, go ahead and play him. He’s up against 5′ 7″ slot corner Buster Skrine. Not only is Skrine small, he’s also lousy! Given that Bears te Burton is out your touchdown vulture tonight will be a certain Adam Shaheen. Prepare to shout his name to the heavens.

That’s it. Comment like you’ve commented before!

*perspicating is not a real word. Do not use in real-life situations unless trying to fuck with someone. Continued use of this ‘word’ may result in quizzical looks, disparaging comments behind your back, a sit-down with HR, divorce, indulging in necromancy and chronic back pain.

You have 7 points you fucking jagoff

SonOfSpam

“Stop calling me that!”

– B. Bortles

Senor Weaselo

3rd and 40 screen? Yes, we can all go home now.

Spur

Throw it deep

SonOfSpam

I won’t be all night, but right now I am completely sober. Which means I am qualified to say that this game is shit.

Dick E. Phuck

Welcome to the club, I am deeply regretful that I didn’t trust my gut.

SonOfSpam

Did your gut say to skip the game or drink heavily?

Dick E. Phuck

Both

Gratliff

Please call a WR screen

Gratliff

loooooooooooool

Sharkbait

Nailed it!

King Hippo

LOOKIT NOSTRAGRATLIFF HERE

King Hippo

just goddamned punt already

Viva La Tabula Raza

a screen? why not just a draw play?

Redshirt

Has a team ever punted on 1st Down when it not raining or blizzarding??

King Hippo

2nd and 37 would have been so much more manageable

Brocky

That didn’t look like a push to me

Dick E. Phuck

Had to make up for making the correct call somehow.

ballsofsteelandfury

In Australian Rules, that’s a mark.

Just sayin’

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

The Flag Gods are pleased..

...

This is so stupid

Sharkbait

I don’t think I’ve ever seen 1st and 40

Senor Weaselo

BIG TIME… OPI.

1st and 40? Super NFL Blitz!

Spur

No Fun League

Viva La Tabula Raza

for fucks sake.

King Hippo

Brocky

Green bay literally holds every play.

And they call shit like this

King Hippo

LMAO

Gratliff

BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERGH

“The is a nice Defensive Struggle.” = “You have a lot of inner beauty.” = “We love all of our children equally.”

Spur

Fuck ,i might need other drink before this game is over.

SonOfSpam

Can a typed sentence sound drunk? This one does.

Sharkbait

1st and 30? NFL BLITZ!

Mr. Ayo

1st and 30? NFL BLITZ!

WCS

1st and 30? NFL BLITZ!

Doktor Zymm

Triple Jinx, y’all all owe each other beers

Doktor Zymm

Calling a holding penalty just so they don’t really have to sort out whether or not that was a catch?

King Hippo

starting to self-destruct, Al?

Doktor Zymm

They’ve decided to play their whole season in the space of one game

Gratliff

FUck that kind of looks like a catch

...

Hmmmm…. No I don’t care for this

Senor Weaselo

You should lose a timeout and 10 yards for a PI challenge. Down and distance remains, however.

SonOfSpam

Chosen randomly, an assistant coach is executed by guillotine.

Spur

A little grab ass happens on all footballs plays.

Sharkbait

Al Michaels asking “what are we doing” is the complete history of my football fandom.

herodotus450

So… they should cut the preseason to two games, and anyone who doesn’t play in one of them is automatically suspended for the next eight games.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

Fuck us all

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That is ambitious, but doable.

Senor Weaselo

-Houston

Dunstan

Well, I guess Dallas had its turn, so it’s only fair…
— Debbie

Brocky

Huh.

It sets a really shitty precedent if this gets overturned

SonOfSpam

And we already have a really shitty precident.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

BUT it DID have a chance to hit Alabama!

King Hippo

an OPI challenge? That’ll run maybe an hour or two.

Senor Weaselo

OPI challenge, drink all the things!

SonOfSpam

And snort coke.

Because things go better with coke.

Mr. Ayo

These games don’t have enough stoppages. Thank god for VODKA.

Sharkbait

I hate that PI is challengeable

The Maestro

The NFL is just catching up with the CFL, really.

Spur

Blame the Saints

Viva La Tabula Raza

This season is going to be ludicrous in this, as in many other, situations.

King Hippo

it is the worst thing The Shield has done since giving Ginger Hammer his title

makeitsnowondem

Well I for one can’t wait for the regular season to start.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Please see below…..

herodotus450

And a few times below that

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

and lower.

herodotus450

and deeper?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Wider too (look where the game is being played)

BrettFavresColonoscopy

How’s everyone enjoying this puntkakke?

...

It’s awesome.

*breaks out razorblade*

I’m so excited for the Bears this season.

*runs blade down arm*

There’s so talented and last year was so much fun.

*blood gushes from open vein*

Hahahaha!

Unsurprised

Excuse me. I was told suicide is painless.

Doktor Zymm

I assume the number is non-zero, but how many people do you think there are who have legit sexual fetishes where they are aroused by punts?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Average hang time.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I’m fine with it.

Dick E. Phuck

This game, Jesus Christ.

King Hippo

I like defensive FITBAW, but Chi**** is so out of synch offensively it’s hard to watch. Like snuff schiesse porn.

Doktor Zymm

It’s a comforting throwback to like, half of the last 20 years. The other half being years where both the defense AND offense sucked.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Oh no, man with homicide-inducing level of annoyance is back for Chevy ads again this season! FAAAAHHHK!

Doktor Zymm

I’m also pretty impressed that we’re already in midseason form as to bitching about game quality. Well done!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

You knew that would take two fucking minutes.

Doktor Zymm

That’s the accumulated wisdom of many seasons

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

*Phrasing.

King Hippo

if there were two MOAR games just like this, I’d stay up all night watching

/sooooo, MNF 2 in the Black Hole, y’all

Doktor Zymm

Who has a ticket to Chiffs/RAIDERS next weekend? THIS GAL!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That has TWO thumbs.

King Hippo

oh, that be fun

...

It’s really cool that a fluky missed field goal in a playoff game has seeped so deeply into Nagy’s head that it appears to have broken his brain.

Viva La Tabula Raza

It’s almost like Trump with the Alabama hurricane damage prediction.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

But the chart……

Senor Weaselo

Cue the sharpie showing it was good the whole time!

Spur

He barely touched Rodgers comment image
