Your “Are You Ready For Round Two?” Sunday Afternoon Football Open Thread

TO THE GAMES!

Chargers/Broncos:

In “Did I Read This Right?” news the Chargers have allowed only one rushing TD to a running back all year. I didn’t believe it so I went through each box score and yeah, Taysom Hill and Joe Burrow have run one in but they gave up their first to James Robinson just last week! So when I heard a fantasy dude this morning saying that this is Melvin Gordon’s “revenge game” I snorted to myself. Bosa and Ingram should just keep rolling along  because the Broncos allow pressure at a greater rate than anyone other than the Jetskis.

Saints/Bears:

Foles isn’t the answer, is he? Even when he was in a clean pocket on Monday he only averaged 4.3 yards per throw. I mean, I can’t see them going back to Truth Biscuit so they’re stuck in no qb land. And they’ve got enough skills guys to make themselves a nuisance in the NFC if only they could rearrange the pieces of the puzzle. Michael Thomas owners should be happy/get back on track now that he’s back. The expectation is that he’ll rack up the yards (natch) but not the TD’s because Chicago’s D tends to lock down on wr’s as they near the red zone.

Niners/Seahawks:

You’d think that Jimmy G might have to air it out in order to keep up with his counterpart Wilson. And that’s an easy thing to do vs. the Seattle secondary this year as there’s no killer D back there. They still have the horsies up front though-only Cook and Mattison have gone for as many as 60 yards against the Seahawks.

Your turn to type.

She-Who-Shall-Be Mrs Sloth went ahead and announced our wedding date to our friends/fam as “The Perfect Date”, 2021 as a fun joke. She says those who get the reference are invited to the wedding and/or livestream and/or wedding trip.

I think she’s serious. At this rate, we’re gonna have like 3 people at our wedding. I’m awestruck at how evil this plan is, and how willingly people are finding this as fun and “oh no, I’m not invited to the wedding! Haha!”.

I can’t wait for the “oh you were serious? We’re not invited? ” conversations.

Gratliff

Yeah, people are pretty much just doing weddings all the time now. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the daily infection records being broken in most states.

Sharkbait

Thats why Im hiding out on Cape Cod solo for another week. Was best man at a wedding last sunday. Not taking the chance of spreading anything

ThePirateSloth

It’s amazing to me that people think we’re actually having a real world, you’re flying to another state to go to a large indoor gathering for multiple days with multiple people, type wedding. Like they see the word “livesteam” and think it’s a made up word that was randomly placed in multiple spots in our communication.

Doktor Zymm

Elope and then send people VHS copies of the ceremony

Gratliff

“Before you die you see the ring,” I say as I place the band on my new spouse’s finger.

If it’s the perfect date it must be 4/20.

So 2/1/21?

That or 4/3/21

Or 4/25 from Miss Congeniality

I think I’ve heard commentators say “You do NOT want to see HIM go down” at least half a dozen times today alone.

Apparently, someone in one of those Trump convoy things opened fire in Richmond, so Richmond protestors are burning the shit out of Trump and blue line flags they started ripping off the cars. Virginia’s getting wild.

Horatio Cornblower

Good to see our democracy doing so well.

(to be clear those Trumpfuckers deserve everything they get)

Unsurprised

No consequences for their actions?

Horatio Cornblower

Who’s gonna arrest them? The cops on duty around the rest of the state, or the off-duty cops who are already in the caravan?

Unsurprised

Off-duty cops would 100% do that. But I was referring to MAGA

Unsurprised

Motherfuck the police, and none harder than the NYPD.

Gratliff

There was another one in Fort Worth where the Trump train (needs a better name) showed up with police at a poling place and they were chased out by the locals

After look at the replay, I’m surprised some of his teammates didn’t throw punches at him for that.

It also takes a special kind of stupid – to punch someone who is WEARING A HELMET that hard

The Chiefs running a fake punt against the Jets is like that scene in Tim when they feed him a turd sandwich.

Dunstan

I would have said it’s like when you fake-throw a stick or ball for your dog. But maybe it’s more like doing the “I stole your nose” trick on a toddler.

Doktor Zymm

I believe in y’all!

I don’t like the little football icon that Fox puts next to the score of the team with the ball. Right now it looks to me like the Seahawks are beating the 49ers 13 to negative 7. If it were the Jets or Bengals instead of the 49ers I’d almost believe it.

Game Time Decision

Mrs GTD said the same thing about the little football icon. So dumb

It’s supposed to be a football? They should just use a dot

All-Dressed chips are also the bomb.

Also, you Americans have really boring-ass chip flavours. Half the shit in the stores is just Sour Cream + X, as far as I can tell.

I actually had a dream last night that involved cheddar and sour cream chips. Thought about getting some this morning, but not worth it too lazy

Stupid-ass shit in the USA is not restricted to chip flavourings.

I used to hate it when coaches would say things like “big plays win games”, but that run by Montgomery….that was a big play.

He certainly does accelerate from “dead still” to “anus on fire” speed in like, half a second.

He also catches a ball like someone touched his belly

Denver is illustrating why it might not be wise to rush a young QB back from injury. Especially when it’s to his throwing shoulder.
