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.

The way Jason Myers sliced that, his name should be Jason Voorhees or Mike Myers

Shank’lor must have his due!

Doktor Zymm

Too bad Moore’s first name isn’t Dennis

King Hippo

Far enough behind that Petey will relent and let his best player make plays.

Mr. Ayo

Shame about that o line though.

Doktor Zymm

Wilson has twinkie hips!

Brick Meathook

OW MY BALLS!

GO AWAY, BAITIN’

Ooh, very close

Fronkenshteen

That seemed unnecessarily rough

LemonJello

He may not have thrown Jones to the ground, but he did drive him 10 yds back after the whistle. Seems a little “extra.”

King Hippo

Apparently, trying not to shit your pants makes playing OL difficult. WHO KNEW?

clint greasewood

That explains the Cleveland Browns

Doktor Zymm

I think that’s similar to what happened in Ballitchmore last night, except they were trying not to scratch their balls

Old School Zero

it’s a LOT of ass to clench at that point

Gatoraids

Depends

Doktor Zymm

EVERYONE GETS A FLAG!!!

King Hippo

what about bees??

Have any of the contestants on Bachelor/Bachelorette ever been like ‘Ugh, totally not attracted to the gal/guy, I concede’?

King Hippo

see, if shit like that happened, I could see the appeal

Doktor Zymm

People at work that I trust have been talking up 90 day fiance, still not sure if I should believe them on this one

King Hippo

Truthers flirting with disaster, but keep narrowly escaping

I read a lot of Edgar Rice Burroughs as a teenager. Revisiting some of his stuff as an adult, I marvel at the fact that I am not a virulent racist, because he certainly was, and I thought I was very much influenced by his writing as a youth. Guess not.

Doktor Zymm

Oh, although if SeaTruthers do win, at least I’ll get to hopefully see Richard Sherman kick his old team’s behind in the playoffs. I would enjoy that, especially now that the Tomsula’s will be my remaining local team!

Old School Zero

This “normal playoff football” is booooooring, let’s get back to failureball

Gotta stay polite, A.A.Ron. Don’t want to catch a helmet to the back of your head while you’re already on the ground

Horatio Cornblower

That play only looks bad because it was in slow motion
/has only seen the play in slow motion, and it looks very bad

Mr. Ayo

It’s going to be exhausting making excuses for your porcelain QB for the next 10 years.

Gratliff

Which one? Sudfeld was on IR and McCown apparently played with a torn ACL.

Horatio Cornblower

Having given this some thought, and thoroughly despising both teams, I guess I’ll root for the Packers in this game. As someone pointed out below Carroll deserves to never go back to the Super Bowl after that wretched pass play, and Wilson’s insistence that an omnipotent being has so little to do that He meddles with the outcome of games just to test Russ is beyond obnoxious.

So instead I’ll root for the guy who is alienated from his entire family and seems to be a total prick.

Doktor Zymm

The Seahawks are the team of believing annoying/borderline offensive shit. So yes. I concur. PROCEED, PACK, PROCEED

Gratliff

See, alienating his family is probably my favorite thing about him

ArmedandHammered

Maybe they are all MAGAts, like mine, so I would totally understand.

Horatio Cornblower

I mean, if my brother appeared on ‘The Bachelor’ and kept mentioning my name I’d probably never talk to him again either.

ArmedandHammered

Unless he gave me the numbers of women desperate enough to be on the Bachelor.

LemonJello

I’ve seen another version of this on the YouTubes…its pretty entertaining. I’ll watch a couple episodes, at least.

King Hippo

yup, A.A. Ron got this

LemonJello

Going by those last two plays, 5 turnstiles may do a better job blocking for Dangeruss.

ArmedandHammered

Nope, believe me Rodger will not snub you in handing down a fine.

Gratliff

Marshawn threatening to hit him with the ball is my favorite thing of the day so far

LemonJello

That’s no way to earn your skittles, Mr. Mode.

Gratliff

Oh man. Clear recovery rule. Remember that from an Eagles Cowboys game last year. The horsest of shit.

Brick Meathook

TV selections at a downtown (centre-ville) Montreal sports bar:
2 TVs on the NFL game;
1 TV on a soccer game between two former allies of Nazi Germany;
1 TV on curling, which is surprisingly mesmerizing.

My husband is retired Navy, so we have lived damn near everywhere. We were in western Washington in the mid to late 80’s, and used to go to Seahawks games in the Kingdome, so I guess I’m rooting for them. They acted like whiny ass tittie babies when they lost to my home team, the Steelers, so it’s hard, but I truly despise Aaron Rogers! He and Danica Patrick seem like the most miserable couple in the world, they always look pissy faced.

Pictured: Contrary to popular belief, NOT the Texans earlier today.

Viva La Tabula Raza

FAKE NEWS!!! That IS the Texans earlier today. Who you gonna believe?

Doktor Zymm

He’s dating Danica Patrick now? I missed that somehow

Viva La Tabula Raza

Old shipmate of mine, now a retired HTC who still works at Subbase Bremerton as a GS, is a fanatical C-HOX fan, but I try to be gentle with him.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Ball was loose before he was down by contact. GB recovery, even if it was in his crotch.

But I bet they won’t overrule it.

King Hippo

“clear recovery” is the issue

theeWeeBabySeamus

Agreed.

Horatio Cornblower

That’s what I keep having to tell all my exes, according to this stupid court order.

Mr. Ayo

Damn lucky.

Mr. Ayo

I see the HOX are trying out the CHEFS game plan.

Horatio Cornblower

All Russell Wilson has done is win, says Joe Buck, forgetting about the last three years.

Doktor Zymm

HE HAS NEVER LOST HE HAS ONLY BEEN OCCASIONALLY INCONVENIENCED BY ANOTHER TEAM HAVING A HIGHER SCORE, PERHAPS

Horatio Cornblower

SOMETIMES JESUS HAS OTHER IDEAS ABOUT HOW THINGS SHOULD WORK OUT THAN RUSSELL DOES, AND RUSSELL IS OK WITH THAT!!!!

BUTTS

Viva La Tabula Raza

That’s Limelight twice today as bumper music.

LemonJello

What effect does cold temps have on jet fuel and steel beams?

Doktor Zymm

They totes brittle and shit

Viva La Tabula Raza

Only reason I’m pulling for C-HOX is an old shipmate of mine is a fan of theirs, and I still like bagging on him about the Wilson pass to Malcolm Butler in that one SB that the Pats won.

Old School Zero

Forest Green strikes first

Gratliff

Rodgers god mode in full effect apparently

Doktor Zymm

Go Packers I guess? I will let my residual dislike of the Seahawks run mildly feral!

ArmedandHammered

Pete Carrol, after his last appearance there, does not deserve to ever be in another SB.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I still have nocturnal emissions about that one.comment image

King Hippo

Tomsulas and Truthers played probably the two most exciting regular season matches, so I want to see a third.

Doktor Zymm

Fair, although playoffs GB could be a better opponent than reg GB?

King Hippo

es verdad

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I want the Packers to lose so badly that I’m taking a walk before settling in to watch a bit

Doktor Zymm

For the first few months of 2018 I did a low carb diet. I learned that while a low carb diet will make you lose weight, it is a bleak, colorless world, where beer and pizza is an impossibility on many levels.

King Hippo

Sounds like my juice diet, which I am gonna get back on imminently

Doktor Zymm

I’m never going back, instead I’m just being stupidly active, skipping dinner most days, and taking stimulants. BREAD 4EVER

King Hippo

Pizza is what kills me, too. Hook me up with your trucker speed connection! 😀

Doktor Zymm

Pizza is the best.
I wish I had been around back when doctors just gave people amphetamines all the time for everything

Viva La Tabula Raza

They even gave them to our Europe-invading soldiers back during WWII. Speed for the Victory!!comment image

theeWeeBabySeamus

Don’t skip.

Exercise and frequent small meals. Kinda a gazelle grazing.

Doktor Zymm

I get home late most days, and skipping fits into an intermittent fasting regimen, so it’s got some scientific heft to doing it. I also apparently have no impulse control after 7 pm, so this works best for me so far

Viva La Tabula Raza

Careful. That’s how I got up to 300+ pounds, and it took bariatric surgery to get that dialed back.

Horatio Cornblower

This.

Watch out for lions.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I doubt she could eat a whole lion.

ballsofsteelandfury

I miss hobo murders…

King Hippo

I can’t believe Bay of Green somehow won 13 matches, and I’ve basically forgotten about A.A. Ron as a special QB. I even ML bet the SeaTruthers.

Watch the Packers beat some ass tonight.

Doktor Zymm

Not super excited about this game outside of it being PLAYOFFS WHERE ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN, because I don’t honestly see either of these teams beating the Niners next week. I do enjoy seeing other people freezing their asses off though, so I will treasure that aspect of it and thank whatever deity/spyware/nosy neighbor who is listening that I don’t live in such a place any more and only freeze voluntarily on short trips or diving in the Pacific in winter

Old School Zero

Who’s ready to REGRESS TO THE MEAN?!

King Hippo

There really is some work I should do tonight. But I’d rather energy drink the fuck out of my brain and stay up until 4am.

Horatio Cornblower

Get a good night’s sleep and ask for a continuance. What kind of an attorney doesn’t know that?
