Your “Hey Banner Pic-You Know This is a Football Blog, Right?”” Monday Night Football Open Thread

Yeah, up here in The Canada Don Cherry was fired because his last windy rant included the phrase ‘you people’. He was talking about poppies. Parse that out, Einstein. He’s been a divisive TV shouty person for 39 years and was once voted as the seventh greatest Canadian in a CBC poll/doc series. He was essentially your blowhard drunk uncle that barked louder and louder as the night wore on and he realized he was losing the argument that he brought up in the first place. Let’s head over to our usual thingy.

Fallout:

-The NFL delivered some highly entertaining games yesterday on the heels of some fantastic tilts the day previous. LSU and Minnesota delivered the W and were rewarded with the #1 and #7 spots in the AP poll. Fucking well done.

-Not well? That’d be David Johnson and Saquon Barkley. Both seem to be putting their team over their health and that never turns out fine.

-Charles Rogers was an extremely gifted wr at Michigan State that flamed out in the pros due to injuries, substance abuse and bump-ins with the law. He passed at the age of 38.

-Injuries? Too numerous to mention. Lots of guys in concussion protocol including at least 4 (!) Giants I’m aware of. Lots of MRI’s happening today as well.

-Pat Shurmur’s seat is getting hotter. Check this out-the backup left tackle that got torched by the Jets D after starter Nate Solder went down had no idea he was going to play that position because he’d always practiced as a ‘jumbo’ tight end on the right side. These little tidbits about players not being ‘coached up’ properly are leaking out which suggests to me that Shumur is about to lose the room.

TO THE GAME!

Seahawks/Niners:

Jimmy G went off last week but San Franny still averages a mere 28.75 pass attempts per game. Good luck to those of you that have either Coleman or Breida or both. Me? I’ve got Chris Carson and I hope he pulls a Kenyan Drake. The latter went for 110 and a TD vs. this vauntful D. Btw, that D has not yet faced a top 15 qb yet. I mean, yes, they’ve crushed the throats of teams they should have crushed but Russell Wilson is in another (in the convo of league MVP) category altogether.

Hey, let’s do some typing!

FUCK YOU ’72 FINS

Gratliff

FUUUUUUUUUUCK the dolphins

Gratliff

Game of the year? Best MNF game by a country mile, and then OT happened.

Horatio Cornblower

Oh yeah, easily.

Porky Prime

“Classic?”

Sharkbait

Right?

Mr. Ayo

MVP! MVP! MVP!

Downfield Matriculator

Thank goodness they saved that t/o

Petronel

That may end up having been totally pointless, but we’re always up for a big old “fuck you hox”

Viva La Tabula Raza
WCS

Here comes the blocked kick. Why the hell not.

Porky Prime

So can we mark the end of regulation as the moment the Jimmy G Love Train hit the penny on the rails?

Horatio Cornblower

That last drive would certainly be up there.

Horatio Cornblower

Jason Myers?

Is this some Friday 13th/Halloween mash-up?

Mr. Ayo

What are you doing?!?! Get more yardage you cock wallets!

King Hippo

They should have taken an end zone shot

Viva La Tabula Raza

I don’t know shit about fantasy football, but I have heard that guy Hollister’s name called a lot tonight and I guess he gave someone a lot of points?

WCS

Greased pig make one last appearance.

Gratliff

The rare 84th change of possession in OT

Horatio Cornblower

That was truly epic clock management right there by the Tomsulas.

Gratliff

Would very much like to see a corner like that in midnight green at some point

Horatio Cornblower

/Philadelphia drafts another TE

Gratliff

The best TEs in the game! /Jalen Mills gives up 324 yards to Josh Gordon

Sharkbait

Give us a tie!

Gratliff

A duck, a drop, time for a derp!

Porky Prime

Concerned mail order bride.

Gatoraids

Hasn’t been a tie n Monday night football since Marv albert bound a hooker to the bed

blaxabbath

YESH!

Horatio Cornblower

I think Hippo’s right. Take a knee and get outta there.

King Hippo

I seriously can’t believe Santa Clara is throwing.

Horatio Cornblower

“Throwing” seems a bit generous a description.

Sharkbait

Hucking it up seems to be a better descriptor

Petronel

Alright dickwads, it’s now or never if you want this one

Petronel

Guess not

Viva La Tabula Raza

COME ON TIE!

Horatio Cornblower

I assure you that this is not, in fact, “just the way Wilson wants it”, Joe, you unbelievable dipshit.

King Hippo

Someone wake Ron Paul, ’cause IT’S HAPPENING!!!

WCS

“So much drama, so much fun, building up to one moment… and that’s what happens?”

— WCS’ wife

Sharkbait

Why do you need to use a timeout just after the two minute warning??

Porky Prime

That kick had “Future Bears Camp Invitee” written all over it.

Petronel

There have been enough turnovers (and other wasted opportunities) in this game that it’s almost as if neither team really has earned the win, or deserves it.

A tie, then. Why the hell not.

Sharkbait

King Hippo

The Maestro

HAIL SHAN’KHOR!!!

King Hippo

I love for a human interest story to get shat upon.

Fronkenshteen

Looked like he kicked a goddamn phone book.

Sharkbait

Nailed It!

-Blair Walsh

Col. Duke LaCross

And that will be the Bob Menery Shitbag Tittyfuck of the Week.

Porky Prime

A FG miss is on Garrapolo.

Gratliff

That was bad from the 7

Porky Prime

Fair enough. I didn’t forsee a fan kick.

Horatio Cornblower

Back to the rail yard with you, Chase.

Mr. Ayo

FUCK. AND. YES.

Hippo nailed it

Gratliff

JUST NARROWLY MISSED

blaxabbath

This dude is LAST in our FF league.

Horatio Cornblower

Does he bench his team every other week?

blaxabbath

I haven’t really researched his whole season. This is just a monster performance. His…..Max Hall defeating the Super Bowl Champ Saints?

Fronkenshteen

ELANOR!!!

Gatoraids

Cliff so you think about me naked. WRONG you think about it all the time

Dunstan

WRONG!

Unsurprised

I had a roommate in college yell that to/at him in D.C. He was not amused.

Funnier still, neither remembered when the guy ended up working for Big John a few years later.

Sharkbait

STEVE PERRY! STEVE PERRY!

King Hippo

Horatio Cornblower

No pressure kid, but if you miss this one you’re back to living under the bridge.

King Hippo

good heroine there, I hear tell

WCS

Anthony Keides and Jim Tomsula took his spot.

King Hippo

I’d go for it.

Mr. Ayo

What. Why? A FG wins it and the hobo has been perfect.

King Hippo

45+ in that stadium is like 50/50, I don’t risk RW getting it back

Fronkenshteen

Yep. Mostert is YUGE

Mr. Ayo

Cmon greased football!

King Hippo
