Your AFC Divisional Round Playoff Game Open Thread

There are certain commentors here that are emotionally challenged, er, invested, I meant to say ‘invested’ in this game and they should be out in force tonight. Don’t forget to put on your kid gloves before engaging them-they’re in a vulnerable position right now what with everything on the line and all.

TO THE GAME!

Titans/Ravens:

-Rb Mark Ingram was ‘limited’ in practice late this week but he’ll play. Not sure how effective he’ll be. Maybe we’ll get a handful of Gus Edwards! That’s sticky.

-Speaking of running backs, there’s a broad-shouldered guy that has hoisted his team up there. Earlier in the year I pointed out that Oh Henry! wasn’t human and I stand by that observation. He’s got to do everything and a lot more in order to bulldoze his way to the W. There’s a real danger that the Ravens big, physical and aggressive D-line pushes Tennessee’s front backwards more often than not.

-I don’t think the Titans can win with Henry getting twice more yards on the ground than Tannyhill did through the air. There has to be a few long, successful deep shots to A.J. Brown in order for Baltimore to loosen up. I don’t think they’ll play the Belichick game of ‘let Henry get his and we’ll shut down everyone else’. They’ll get after it.

-The Ravens just have too much talent, right? That pass game that has to have an impact for the Titans meets up with two All Pros in Peters and Humphrey.

-Prediction Time. Henry finally succumbs but not before going out with a fight. Ravens 33 Tits 17.

Go Ahead. Make my night.

Derrick Henry is going to win this game for Don T and then go to Puerto Rico and rebuild their infrastructure by Thursday.

By himself.

LemonJello

Through El Tractoricito, all things are possible.

Unsurprised

P*ts fans are even more annoying with them out of the playoffs.

Sharkbait

We don’t know what to do with our hands

LemonJello

Lot of nervous girlfriends/wives in P*ts land…

King Hippo

and he STAYS IN for the next play!

See I knew it. Now I gotta start cussing Derrick Henry out.
Nothing personal Derrick.

Spur

That’s how you run for one yard.

Doktor Zymm

Henry henrying it up!

All for naught? Fuck

what a game

Redshirt

If Jackson kept running off tackle, he would’ve gotten that first down.

hippofant

I’m gonna need to see like a million gifs of that play to figure out what happened.

Redshirt

He started to run between C-RG, panicked and went RG-RT, ultra-panicked and went LG-C and then got plastered.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Goose egg drive for you, ratbirds.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Wow, the Ravens’ play calling on 4th down tonight became NC State’s offensive coordinator so rapidly, I never saw it coming.

Who remembers these? When I was little, these were what all the kids had to use for cups

Seeing these apple slo-mo selfie commercials makes me wish for their old pretentious ads

Doktor Zymm

After retirement from football, and his astounding tennis career, Lamar will become the oldest man to win Olympic Gold in men’s gymnastics, with a perfect score on the parallel bars

theeWeeBabySeamus

Uneven?

Ppl forget Terry Crews was an extra in Training Day

My cousin’s getting married this year. In Cooperstown. At the same hotel where they do the Hall of Fame ceremony. With a pre-game reception at the Ommegang brewery.

I speak to her about once a decade but she is my favorite person on the planet right now.

LemonJello

Ommegang makes some delicious libations.

Dick E. Phuck

Holy fuck that was fast.

Mr. Ayo

Phrasing!

– my Homecoming date

LemonJello

LAMAR! almost went to plaid on that play.

hippofant

LAMAR is giving off Brady-esque vibes of annoyance at his teammates now.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Marquise Brown: No no, I’m ok. It’s just my head.

Horatio Cornblower

Just got back in from a cop’s retirement party, (48, full pension and healthcare, yes I fucking hate him), followed by a couple of pops at the local brewery.

If you get the chance to have this beer, hit it like it stole something:

Looks like the board already had a couple.

Also, if he retired early due to getting wounded, he deserves the retirement.

If he rode a desk for 10 years and called it a career, he needs to return the pension.

Horatio Cornblower

Nope. That’s Connecticut’s state pension, at least for the state troopers. 25 years in and you can get out with, I think, 70-80% of your last three years average pay, (which is why they all do 90 hours a week during that time), and full medical.

Also Connecticut is broke. Figure that one out, ya little mathematicians.

Sadly that’s just an image I got off the innertubes.

I wish I had that cup.

I’ve come to accept that local pride means that it’s hard to find good east coast beers here.

Horatio Cornblower

Where are you?

Unsurprised

Oregon

Just got home. Are we getting MVP Jackson or Playoff Jackson?

Viva La Tabula Raza

Jury still out.

hippofant

He’s been alright. Ravens receivers dropping balls. Titans getting good pressure.

King Hippo

he’s been mostly good, but so has TN

Viva La Tabula Raza

well, I made it this far before switching from rum & coke to neat scotch. UNLEASH THE DFO BABBLE-POSTER!

Sharkbait

I’ve been mainlining margaritas. It may or may not have been taco night at Chez Sharkbait

Viva La Tabula Raza

I’m saving my marg action for tomorrow. Special recipe I learned down in Sonora, modified to suit my tastes:
12 oz tequila
12 oz Mexican beer (any beer will work, in truth)
12 oz club soda
6 oz frozen limeade concentrate
stir together in pitcher and pour over ice.
Will fuck you up.
The person that taught me this used 7-Up instead of club soda, and 12 oz instead of 6 oz on the limeade. Too sweet that way, as far as my palate was concerned. YMMV.

hippofant

Uhhh, was that a sex toy or something?

Spur

The Vikings players swear by it.

King Hippo

the clithammer!

Was it on a boat?

Dick E. Phuck

First one in, last one out

Unsurprised

BTW, did the NFL really consider the implications of putting Art Modell in the HoF? In Ohio?

Redshirt

Not sure. Lets consult with the expert on the subject, NFL Hall of Famer, O.J. Simpson.

Unsurprised

Just saying. I expect a line of people stretching all the way from Cleveland to piss on the bust

Unsurprised
Mr. Ayo

Needs more baby face filter

Don T

Congratulations to Bill Cower, Pro Football Hall of Famer, for his contributions to the game of inane studio chatter.

Yea, misspelled. For extra disrespek

I wish it was spelled that way.

It seems he has some stiff competition

I for one am ripe to blame the rest of the AFC North for this result, for not preparing the Ravens well enough.

Have to admit, that was a heckuva hit to keep him out of the endzone.

Really regret not betting on the Titans again

Unsurprised

Always bet on Tits

Has Dok murdered any high society gadfly-types this evening?

It seems like during a NFL playoff game would be the perfect time and place. Lots Lots of VIPs. Lots of distractions.

Don’t ask, but yes.

Quoth the raven: TITS!

Whoa

Petronel

WOW nice catch

Viva La Tabula Raza

OK. I’m pulling for the visitors for the rest of the playoffs, just so I don’t have to listen to a bunch of cheering from the stands.

Doktor Zymm

Lamar adjusting well to the fact that his O-line apparently all picked up some itchy STD during their week off

LemonJello

There was a mention of crabs on the field earlier in the Open Thread…

Unsurprised

It seems inevitable that Jameis would make his way to Baltimore.

hippofant

I know the rules and why they’re the rules, but I gotta say, there probably shouldn’t ever be injured players crawling to the sidelines to keep the clock from being run down.

Spur

The Ghost of McNair starting to show its power.
