Your “It’s Nice To See New Faces!” Thursday Night Football Open Thread

Kinda feels like things are coming apart at the seams, huh? WILL THE CENTER HOLD? Was there even a center in the first place?

Newsy Notes:

-Center of attention-grabber J.J. Watt has announced that if the Texans go into rebuild mode he doesn’t want to be around for it. Now that he’s injury-plagued and being paid too much, you wonder what team would give up serious assets for him.

-Ben DiNucci’s time in the sun has come to an end. This week’s starter will be either Cooper Rush (or is it Rush Cooper?) or Garrett Gilbert. I didn’t even bother to look up the backgrounds on these sacks of meat that will soon be fed to the Steelers D-line.

-The Bears and Texans facilities have been shut down as Covid flexes its pipes. Oh, there’s more on the way…

TO THE GAME!

Packers/Niners:

-I really don’t know how Rodgers has done it with the likes of Equa.. St. Brown, MVS and Tonyan catching his balls. Maybe Lazard is back next week but he’s just another guy, just slightly better than the others.

-The Packers backfield of Dexter Williams and Tyler Ervin has seen all of 15 NFL carries. Aaron Jones is a “go” but the coaching staff would be nuts to use him on more than a handful of plays. I think the over/under on Rodgers passes is 50. I kid but the Niners stop the run very well, having given up the least amount of points to rb’s.

-The Niners wr spots are an equal mess. Trent Taylor, Richie Jones (maybe), Kevin White and River Cracraft may all see action. So it’s all aboard [ruffles through non-existent notes] The JaMycal Hasty Train! He’ll likely do well given that Green Bay has given up the most points to rbs this year. (and remember Mostert’s gaudy 220 yard effort in the NFC Championship?

-This looks like a sloppy game. Who will emerge from the muck?

Have at it.

I see the Green Bay Flop is still among Rogers greatest weapons

Sharkbait

Green bay Flop = Man U going down in the box

Doktor Zymm

Remember in the Victorian era when ‘interfered with’ was code for sexual assault?

King Hippo

That’s been used in this season of Fargo, too!

Recovery Whiskey

I mean, Winchester Mystery House is more iconic to South Bay than anything from San Francisco. And closer. And fits the Niners motif as a team whose identity was built last century.

33. Jones

Santa Clara Game? Show more iconic San Francisco bumper shots.

They’ll both make you jump, jump

This should be a catch…woulda been back when we knew what a catch actually was.

I just took my multivitamin with a glass of red wine. That is all.

Can wine is saving me sooo many glasses to wash.

I hope the It’s Always Sunny crew get royalties on that.

Weed gummy’s aren’t really vitamins

Nah I can smoke on the balcony. The THC vitamins are for undercover non angriness.

Evening lizard people. Has everyone’s favorite dollar iced tea been called for Biden yet?

How many electoral votes does Snapple get?

It feels like today was five days long.

Holy fuck that is accurate

King Hippo

I feel like I have aged 20+ years in the last 4. Easy.

litre_cola

Howdy, I have switched off the news the last 24 hours as I just can’t anymore with what is going on with you guys, and my province.
I told Hippo that I give zero fucks if this is a D league outfit with the Tomsulas tonight. It is escapism.

King Hippo

oh, it gon’ be wall-to-wall FITBAW (and footy) the next 75 hours. BUHLEE DAT!!

/apologies in advance for the pitch-shitting my Wolven Sort do tomorrow night

Sharkbait

Today was the first day I let myself look at politics news. It was not a good idea.

Beerguyrob

Carrie Underwood seems to have taken a turn…

King Hippo

I appreciate how quickly you found both thin Packers fans

Sharkbait

How the fuck is one foot then one hand NOT in bounds there?

Redshirt

The referee only had four bucks in quarters and the meter is running?

Senor Weaselo

It doesn’t become free after 8? That’s his problem.

Sharkbait

That’s a touchdown

blaxabbath

Do I look like a vulture just circling the body of that fat, expired, barely breathing, helpless, pathetic, weak, lost, enraged piece of shit as the vote count rolls in?

Because I feel like one and it’s a feeling I will chase the rest of my life. I could watch these losers — and their steadfast in denial of their own selves fellow voters — flail and the way til Christmas before riding this crescendo. The abandonment. The infighting. The blaming. The desperate claims of redemption. God I love it.

King Hippo

oh, Blax done got that first pill feeling!

blaxabbath

I wonder what Parscale squealed about….

Fronkenshteen

Hey, sorryI ain’t contributed much this week. My ancient & honorable iPad had massive problems even logging in! I seem to be back among the better angels of the internet’s nature.

Senor Weaselo

Did you have to update it?

Fronkenshteen

Gonna lose some sweet coin on this pig.

King Hippo

NOT Hippo, am tapped out until bookie-book cashes my ginormous Diamond Joe bet.

Fronkenshteen

5 gotcha 280, right?

King Hippo

Indeed, Sir Fronk

Fronkenshteen

Noice. SOMEone should benefit.

King Hippo

I’d give the moneys back for the Senate, though.

ballsofsteelandfury

On the bright side, Hippo won’t be betting until January.

Sharkbait

I stuck to DFS lineups for this matchup. I’ll save the real gambling for this weekend

King Hippo

Somebody needs to trick Bradshaw into confessing his Q-anon affinity on air.

/I mean, should be about as hard as tricking an infant via “peek-a-boo”

Fronkenshteen

Bradshaw’s ok with me. Gets a jet back to his OK ranch every Sunday night. That’s some Sinatra shit to me.

He may. The more senile you get, the more your filter turns off.

King Hippo

These head coaches is about the same age as me, maybe younger (as I were birthed in 1973). Goddamnit, I know I have wasted my life, Fox don’t need to remind me of that shite.

Redshirt

Okay, that was the first time I’ve laughed at something Fox NFL Pregame did.

King Hippo

Here we go #NuAIDs, here we go!

/clap clap!

Redshirt

They’re still doing the game? I guess you don’t need wide receivers to play football.

Doktor Zymm

Narrow receivers are good enough

rockingdog

the same rules that apply to calling Shotgun also apply to calling the election?
LOL he crazy

Dunstan

I didn’t watch that entire press conference, but I think Trump just declared the Atlanta Falcons the winners of Super Bowl LI.

Redshirt

You know, I think we all agree it would be cool for a kicker to win the Super Bowl MVP and its unfair that Joe Montana cheated that away from Jim Breech by driving down the field and carving up the defense like a roast.

The final 3:20 of Super Bowl XXIII shouldn’t have happened and the Bengals won Super Bowl XXIII. Kicker Jim Breech is the MVP. Its only fair.

Dunstan

Absolutely. Late touchdowns. Fake points! Depriving our great, great kickers of their due reward. Sleepy Joe Biden wants to round up all kickers and amputate their legs. SAVE OUR KICKERS’ LEGS!!!!!1111!!!

WARNING: This following scenario makes 2020 look like the “Pure Imagination” scene in Willy Wonka…at least until the fat kid got greedy and tried drinking chocolate lake water. Seriously, you are surrounded by edible candy and you can’t swim. What are you thinking, Gloop?!

God, I hate to do this but I can’t half-ass this post…. Please be kind in your replies…

(unlocks Republican Redshirt from subconscious)

The sad thing is if Trump could just ask for recounts, fail and bow out (middle fingers optional), the Republicans are in decent shape for the future.

The Democrats were in prime shape to take the Senate and strengthen their hold on the House but the people weren’t biting. That suggests the majority of America isn’t completely on board with what the Democrats are selling. The result is the Republicans don’t really lose much and are in a position to fight Biden and his agenda while the Democrats are in-fighting due to an Presidential election they won.

That puts the Republicans in shape to rebrand and refocus, try to take back the House in ’22 and then try to beat Biden in ’24. Or realistically, Joe Biden would be 81 in ’24, so they maybe they’re fighting VP Harris or someone else. And since Trump is still a hero to Republicans, maybe they nominate Ivanka Trump. If she wins, that would forever cement the Trump name in American history and his name will be elevated to the upper tier of American lore.

Trump’s hubris is preventing this from happening because in order for this to happen, he would have to go down as a loser in the 2020 Election, and he can’t stand that!

Thanks for the fresh air! Wake me up in 12 years in case the Republicans are back to normal and I can vote for them without feeling evil.

(Republican Redshirt returns to subconscious – Moderate Redshirt reasserts himself)

Oh, shit. Its still 2020? Hey, Democratic Redshirt, you want out for a bit?

(echo from subconscious)
No way, not in this year! Besides, I’m having too much fun riffing your junior high memories.

ballsofsteelandfury

He’s right about Ivanka in 24. I bet you a case of whiskey and some homemade hobo chili.

King Hippo

What you outlined is why the party apparatus is playing things low-key. They want him to admit defeat and GTFO (so they can do what they do best, obstruct), but they also don’t want to be TOO chilly and get their offices bombed.

ballsofsteelandfury

You are 100% correct.

Unsurprised

Fuck the Democrats. They offered nothing and they delivered.

Doktor Zymm

I’m down with a muckfest I guess, woohoo, perhaps!

She laughed her ass off.

Someone should really “Fire Joe Morgan” that Trump speech.

You can tell this shit’s really over because all the news outlets are just making fun of him for being sad and lying about everything, which is what they should have been doing from the very first day
