Your NFC Divisional Round Playoff Game Part 2 Open Thread

Let’s keep ‘er rolling along like a certain running back, shall we?

TO THE GAME!

Seahawks/Packers:

-Are the Packers the most underwhelming 13-3 team in ever? I went down their sked and I can see all of 2(!) quality wins. One is versus the Chiefs early in the season and the other is against the Vikes much later on. There was much dreg to play against and they won most of them. When they did play a half decent squad they got their balls blown off by the Niners, 37-8.

-Rodgers 7.5 yards per pass attempt is his lowest since 2011 and speaks to the receiving corps not having a game-breaker anywhere on the roster. Yet Davante should do okay-the last time he played against cb’s Griffin and Flowers in a game he had 65+ yards against each one of them.

-Seattle has acquitted itself well in the run game despite leaning on a 3rd stringer, a practice squad-er and a guy that was living in a cardboard box under a bridge just three weeks ago. And the passing game is coming along as well with D.K. Metcalf catching 3 balls 20+ yards down the field just last week.

-Maybe keep an eye out for Wilson turnovers, particularly intercepts. In seven games against the Packers he has 10 picked passes. Green Bay is +12 in turnovers this year so this might be a thing.

-Prediction Time! I’m not sure about this one but I do know it’ll be close because Seattle loves themselves the one score final whether it’s a W or an L. Let’s say Seahawks 27-24?

Let me see those those brain farts of yours.

It’s not bad enough that the Rooney Rule sucks, but that it is used as an exemplar in professions where it also does more harm than good.

Wait — I didn’t want watch any NFL this weekend but just clarify this for me….

Green Bay just went and fired their long-time SB-winning coach last year because he wasn’t winning enough with the roster they built. Everyone is like, “nah, McCarthy is a good coach; he won a super Bowl, by GAWD!” and the Packers were just like, “yeahno, he should have more than that and we’re not wasting anymore time on this guy.” And they go get a new Rookie coach who Is probably just like, “holy shit, I’ll just do all the things everyone knows McCarthy should have done.” So I consider the Pack being in the conference game proof that GB made the right move and MORE IMPORTANTLY proved their assessment of McCarthy right.

And then Jerry Jones goes and hires Mike McCarthy.

This is hilariously true.

Horatio Cornblower

I take issue with the “hilariously” portion of that sentence.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Simplistic hot take is simplistic. However, it was definitely time to move on from McCarthy.

Jones views McCarthy as someone he can “handle” who “knows his place” and he will interfere with the team just same as before because players know who the boss is and can go over the coaches head if they have a problem. Now hot takes can proceed in both areas.

Viva La Tabula Raza

OK, back to automotive shows. See y’all tmrw for Lesbian U and Clitson.

Since September, games have ended at 1030 or 1100 pm on Sunday nights. It’s only 930 local tonight. What the fuck am I going to do? Yes, more Scotch and some edibles and a couple bong rips, I hate it when the season gets all tightened up.

Normally I’m a little jealous of the life my dog gets to lead but this weekend I am particularly jealous cause I’m here in snowy (and now sad) Seattle while she gets to hang out in sunny LA and sleep with models.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Model airplanes or model ships or model tanks?

Mr. Ayo

On the bright side you get to experience the snowpocalyse first hand.

blaxabbath

DangerRUSS legal stuffs?!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Rooting for the Titans is a gimme, but I think I’ll be pulling for the 49ers just so we can have a Belichick castoff Super Bowl.

Viva La Tabula Raza

The Belichick coaching tree is really a vine.comment image

Viva La Tabula Raza

It’s been a few years since I had to actually decide who I was going to root for in the AFC, since NE has always been in the equation for me. This year, I’m pulling for the former Houston Oilers. At least Jeff Fisher is out of the picture, unlike back in January 2000.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

You will have to wait until September.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Maybe I will get lucky and live that long.

Doktor Zymm

Good Night fellow sacks of water with slight electrical activity!
It was an honor and a privilege to watch this here NFC game with you

Viva La Tabula Raza

Good night!

That time of the year where I have to remember what to watch at 10 pm on a Sunday night

Mr. Ayo

Bob’s Burgers in one minute.

Horatio Cornblower

20 cents down and no commitment is also the NFL owners new proposal for rookie contracts.
/or am I the only one who just got that gym commercial?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Boo! Now the only good family drama left in the NFL is with the Bowlens.

And the Shanahans too, of course, as told by blaxabbath.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I think that AAron should drive up a little north and bang Princess Meghan. THAT will get some tongues wagging.

Horatio Cornblower

Rodgers with the passive-aggressive attack on his receivers giving us more than a slight hint why everyone who spends more than 30 minutes with him seems to hate him.

the Alpha and the Amoeba

? the only interview I saw with rodgers was where he said that Adams carried the game for them

Horatio Cornblower

He did, but in the same breath took a shot at him for running out of bounds.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

This irrational Rodgers hate is delicious.

Gratliff

Cowboys went out and got the man who made this possible by being kicked out of the organization

Horatio Cornblower

Oh fuck you.
/cries for an hour

Old School Zero

“Standing in for Pete Carroll in tonight’s press conference, here’s Glenn Beck!”

Viva La Tabula Raza

“Glenn Beck couldn’t make it, so here’s Alex Jones!”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“Alex Jones is under a gag order, so here’s Milo Yiannopolis!”

Viva La Tabula Raza

“Ted Nugent will be providing musical accompaniment to Milo’s soliloquy.”

Unsurprised

And he has a little treat in his pants for the media

Viva La Tabula Raza

Do you mean that turd he expelled and carried around in his trousers for a couple days in order to dodge the draft, manly man that he claims to be?

Unsurprised

Yes

Horatio Cornblower

“OK, what’s the play call here Aaron?”

“Doesn’t matter, just run head first into the pile and the refs will give is 10 yards.”

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Um… ok…..

And to think she’s made a halfway decent career out of that.

Viva La Tabula Raza

That’s only because Tawmy is at home mouth-kissing his sons instead of out on the field.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Meh, it’s been done.comment image

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Touchdown Seahawks.

Petronel

Well, if we fuck it up next week, I’d rather have the Pack go forward than the goddamn Hox.

King Hippo

Janeane v. El Tractorcito por favor

Viva La Tabula Raza

I know you have no control over the result, but please do not let Green Bay win. I will be rooting for former Patriot QB Janeane G.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Well, three out of four games this weekend ended up in a manner that I do not like. Fuck this. Die Packers, Die Chiefs.

Doktor Zymm

The Packers, The Chiefs?

Just can’t get away from old Don Cornelius, can we?

Dick E. Phuck

Cheeseheads are gonna get absolutely smoked next week

Old School Zero

Mmmmm, smoked cheese… and headcheese…

Doktor Zymm

Agreed. Tasty as mmm

Viva La Tabula Raza

Is smoking even allowed in California anymore?

Spur

wont even bring out the chains

King Hippo

I mean, maybe next time try modern offense before Q4, Truthers.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Jimmy Graham is not a crook?

Horatio Cornblower

Good god, that’s not even close.

At one point is an NFL coach just going to take his team off the field and then tell the press that if the NFL is just going to allow shit calls to decide the game he doesn’t see any reason to risk his player’s health?

Col. Duke LaCross

Fail Mary makeup call?

And how is Blake Cleteman involved in every primetime game? I miss Sassy Ref.

King Hippo

Sassy Ref should be in the Haw-ell of Fame

Spur

Dez caught it

Horatio Cornblower

Truth, but the refs gave Dallas the game against Detroit the week before.

Viva La Tabula Raza

NO ONE DENIES THIS BUT NO ONE SEZ THIS EITHER.

Horatio Cornblower

I literally just did.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yes, but you’re nobody so it doesn’t count.

Horatio Cornblower

Tough, but fair.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Yeah, but you are a Cowboys fan and your view of reality is as valid as the current president’s.

Horatio Cornblower

Viva, I don’t care what I’ve done to you or your family, if you ever compare me to Trump again as God as my witness I will set myself on fire just so I can haunt you for the rest of your life.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Tough but fair.

Old School Zero

TOUCHDOWN SEAHAWKS

Doktor Zymm

Short, but don’t give a shit, just like NAPOLEON

Horatio Cornblower

Oh I very much give a shit about Napoleons.

Sorry IBM, when I hear Stealer’s Wheel’s Stuck in the Middle With You, I don’t think about connectivity, I think about psycho Michael Madsen cutting that dude’s ear off. Fuck you.

Doktor Zymm

I think about wedgies, because of that Hanes commercial in the 90’s

Viva La Tabula Raza

That’s a much more pleasant visual.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Which is almost the exact opposite of connectivity, in that a mode of communication is literally cut off.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Alright, let’s fast forward to when the refs decide this game for us.

Old School Zero

Does that generous spot count?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Given the lag on my feed, yes

Viva La Tabula Raza

Stadium loudspeaker played this last night in Baltimore. Jack White just laughed.

Brocky

Already wen done dude. They called holding on a reciever when the quarterback was running
