Your Mid-Afternoon NFL Playoff Game Open Thread

Welcome back as always Pigskinheads! Are you ready for more? Of course you are. Will we get another glorious upset like we did yesterday? I simply did not see Sillycuse winning over UVA-I mean, I saw it but I didn’t see it. Makes sense? No? If Seattle beats the Packers could anyone that closely watches the sport really call it that? I’m squarely in the “NO!” corner.

TO THE GAME!

Texans/Chiefs:

-The first time that these guys played this year Houston bounced around a Mahomes that was battling an ankle ouchie. If they’re relying on him to make bone-headed plays like Josh Allen did last week in order  to win I don’t think it’ll happen.

-As a matter of hoohaw, Kermit has graded out as the top performing qb the last 3 weeks of the regular season.

-You’d think that Tyreek and Kelce will run free all day because opposing qb’s average 281 yards passing but keep an eye on Damien “Bad Seed” Williams. The Texans are 8th worst in yards per carry defended and the lousiest against rb’s catching the ball out of the backfield.

-KC slowly morphed into a well-rounded team as the season went on and the D (under Steve “Spags” Spagnoulo) started getting pressure from the ends. If you recall his work with the Giants D in 2016, he likes to funnel everything to the middle of the field and let the safties and lb’s clean up. It’s simple but it works. Qb Watson had 2.6 seconds to throw last week but I don’t see that happening again.

Prediction Time! The Texans are exposed to the tune of 35-13.

Put ‘er there, partner! And by ‘there’, I mean down below, in words and pics.

I seem to remember the Texans having a running game in the first quarter

Spur

Do Bear fans even watch this game?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Yes, but while pooping in the woods

Dunstan

Sure, just hoping for shots of Andy Reid on the sidelines.

Oh, you meant Chicago Bears….

Spur

All you can eat at Applebee’s? Is that a threat?

Old School Zero

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Fuck Ma-Holmes, it’s Dr. Watson time

/Shows self out

Brick Meathook

How many TV shows about fire stations are there?

(I mean first responders)

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Just in Chicago? 27.

litre_cola

You are from there originally. You have roaming fire gangs?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Do you not?

King Hippo

Unsportsmanlike costs them 1 yard net

Redshirt

Chekov’s missed XP?

Spur

Kelce dead?

LemonJello

SHAN’KHLOR BE PRAISED AGAIN!

King Hippo

Momentum shift??

Old School Zero

OT probability slightly increased

Viva La Tabula Raza

Well, that was a great first quarter.

litre_cola

How the fuck are the 500s not covering now?!?!?!

King Hippo

There’s that 2nd non-QB rushing yard!

Viva La Tabula Raza

56-24 might be optimistic. Maybe 63 or 70.

Old School Zero

This game is having more hot spurts than [Ed. note–OSZ died on the way back to his home planet]

ArmedandHammered

A Peter North compilation?

Brick Meathook

The second half will be dance contest between the two teams, dancing to pop standards, disco, and waltzes played over the stadium PA. A panel of referees will eliminate couples, and together with audience applause select the “dance queen.” That dancer’s team will advance to the conference title game.

Mr. Ayo

I got my money on Kelce.

Brick Meathook

Mahomes & Kelce: best couple

Theandre out??

SUDDEN DEMAROL CHANGE

Mr. Ayo

I want a flak jacket.

herodotus450

If JJ Watt is so patriotic why hasn’t he changed his last name to One-Thousandth-Horsepower like a real American.

Old School Zero

goddamnit

ArmedandHammered

Or joined the military to lead the charge into Iran? I mean the dude loves sacks.

Viva La Tabula Raza

He’d better think long and hard about that decision.
—Pat Tillman

Sharkbait

The second half is going to be a puntkakke isn’t it?

Old School Zero

you shut your cursed mouth

Dunstan

Yep. We don’t deserve good things.

Unsurprised

I don’t want Houston to win because fuck J.J. Watt

Mr. Ayo

Eh. Not really worth it.

— L. Vonn

Viva La Tabula Raza

So, predictions. Continued dogfight, or 56-24 final score? I’m leaning toward the blowout.

King Hippo

Extra Time?

Viva La Tabula Raza

No fucking way.

Old School Zero

Funny how a 4 point lead at the half feels way more solid than the 21 point lead in the first quarter

King Hippo

Monaco got fucked in the ass. Stonewall pen

rockingdog
Sharkbait

I still think all of this comes down to not going for it on 4th and 1 up 21-0

King Hippo

Very strange to be so timid there, then fake punt from your own 30 two minutes later.

Sharkbait

Right?? What a terrible playcall

rockingdog

LOL
trying to imagine Brady running like Mahomies for that first down on that monster drive to end the half

ArmedandHammered

*Every defensive back in the league salivates heavily.

Brocky

I have had 10 notifications for this game.

That’s a lot for halftime

theeWeeBabySeamus

Having had Fairbairn as my FF kicker earlier this year, I knew he wasn’t gonna hit that shit.

King Hippo

I kind of want a cigarette

Redshirt

First to 50?

Mr. Ayo

Nailed It!

— B. Walsh

King Hippo

Jesus, has there ever been a playoffs this fucking fun?

Old School Zero

Not during the P*ts dy-nasty.

Gratliff

The one where the Eagles won the Super Bowl

Mr. Ayo

Reason enough to ban the P*ts from all future playoffs.

Dunstan

Seconded.

Mother Puncher

Seriously, i went to the kitchen to make brownies when the texans were up 21-0. What happened?

King Hippo

there was a failed fake punt and KO return fumbre

Mistborn Impossible

Besides the brownies?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Was weed involved?

Mother Puncher

I’m not drinking in January. The brownies are “supplemental”

Brick Meathook

I haven’t seen this many Texans take it up the ass since I went that VFW meeting in San Antonio back in ‘97.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I made a lot of money gigolo-ing as a power top at that convention. Mostly Republicans in attendance.

Brick Meathook

We may have met.

Dunstan

This may not end up as the craziest game ever, but pretty much has to be craziest first half.

hippofant

There’s no way SEA-GB can be any crazier than this, right?

King Hippo

Let’s hope they hold our beer!

LemonJello

Rodgers family reconciliation at halftime?

Brocky

Double twist

Rodgers family all plays for the other team

…yes that’s s pun intended

Unsurprised

It never has been before

Spur

Green Bay staff forget to put white roses in Rodgers cubbie. Shit might get weird and petty

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yup, it hit the line, but not by much.

Spur

Good job Buttchin you let Andy fucking Reid out Coach you

Gratliff

AFC sucks, unlike my dinner. Grilled cheese with prosciutto and tomato, with tomato basil soup. Keep it simple, stupid.

Sharkbait

OVER THE LINE!

W.Sobchack Los Angeles, CA

Spur

Shut the fuck up Walter

Viva La Tabula Raza

I guess now that the Pats are out of it, KC will now become the team the refs pull for.

Dunstan

I haven’t seen this much scoring since freshman orientation week.

I said “seen,” not “had.”

King Hippo

Had to feel good that you were invited to watch

Dunstan

Sure. Assuming that “letting me ‘fix your computer camera’ earlier that week” = “inviting”

King Hippo

#ImpliedConsent

Redshirt

Yeah, like Band Camp.

Not me. I was considered a “nice guy”. I found out after I graduated that it was essentially a Brazzers movie.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

That’s his third drop, Jeeeeeem

Spur

Send that jerk to Detroit

Dick E. Phuck

He was over the line

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Again I think I’m on a lag

King Hippo

dat back foot

Viva La Tabula Raza

I can’t believe there’s less than a minute to go in the half and KC still has 2 timeouts.

theeWeeBabySeamus

OH, that’s gon’ be close.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Ball still didn’t cross the goal line though methinks.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Wanna see a replay, but I think we still got 4th and goal with about 6 inches to go.
Story of my life.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Commentators making excuses for JJ Watt like he’s a racist idiot that’s been elected president

King Hippo

/ok, maybe #OneDayOff

litre_cola

Over could hit by halftime
