Your Thursday Night Football Open Thread

TO THE GAME!

Colts/Titans:

-I get the feeling the Titans are gathering themselves for another run. Maybe not just yet but soon. They tweeked their underperforming D by nabbing Des King (who ran back an intercept for a TD in his first game. Thankyouverymuch) They also have taken above average cb Adoree Jackson off the IR so he’s coming back soon. The pieces are falling into place.

-Though the Titans don’t have a star on D, a “Super Sacker” if you will, they do exert what PFF calls ‘quick pressure’  more often than only four other teams. Significant talent upgrades in the secondary and a combined ‘team effort’ in pressuring opposing qb’s sounds like a winning formula moving forward.

-And that’s what a competent front office with long range goals in mind does-look for pieces that fit rather than making ‘splash’ trades.

-Here Comes Jordan Wilkins? He’s out-touched Jonathan Taylor 34 to 17 the past two weeks. Hell, last week Taylor had fewer snaps than Nyheim Hines. That’s what you get for fumbling, I guess. Not sure why Reich and Co. have soured on the rook but that’s what’s going on.

-This Colts D is the league’s number one by conventional metrics and has allowed the least amount of fantasy points to qb’s although Burrow and Stafford have very recently thrown for over 300 against them.

-Perhaps that D’s numbers may have been inflated a bit by the level of the competition. In addition to the Bengals and Lions, their sked has also included the Jags, Jets and Vikings. The rest of the way includes another game vs the Titans, also the Packers and the Steelers. They do get to pound the Texans (twice) and travel out to Las Vegas.

-Sad news you’ll hear about tonight-Corey Davis’ brother just passed away due to a rare form of cancer. He was just 26.

-Do we get to see Trey Burton in The Wildcat again? MAKE IT HAPPEN, PLEASE! Tight ends with rushing stats are a rare breed indeed.

Do that thing with your fingers.

New Belgium trippel is so good.

rockingdog

TD Humps
Nyhmin Hines kind of having a good game…

King Hippo

Passer and catcher of touched down, NC Muthafuckin’ State graduates!

King Hippo

BUF/AZ is a sneaky good matchup

Unsurprised

Tits vs Humps. Hmm.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I’ve got HOU-CLE early on Fox, SF-NO late on Fox, and the BUF-AZ game. I think I will take some heroin and watch some game warden shows on Animal Planet.

ArmedandHammered

Henry’s “hair” reminds me of a raccoon tail and that thought makes me cringe every time it crosses my mind.

Fronkenshteen

Is it a bunch of dreadlocks wrapped up for the game, or one big ‘ol hair horn?

King Hippo

Fellow Son of the South, nods in agreement

Viva La Tabula Raza

Henry
Henry Crockett
King of the Wild Frontier.

Gumbygirl

I remember watching a Cubs game once , and Harry Carey was shitfaced. He sang “Jody, Jody Davis, catcher without no fear.” Gumby and I still think of that when we hear that tune!

Viva La Tabula Raza

Definitely a boomer thing.

Gumbygirl

Yup

ArmedandHammered

Yep

Recovery Whiskey

He did a variant I remember: “Jody, Jody Davis, what a fine young catcher you are.”

The beauty of Harry was he was exactly like my uncles and grandfather. Minus the racism.

Gumbygirl

I thought he was hilarious, in that drunk uncle way. My Uncle Don was that guy, rest his sweet soul.

ArmedandHammered

I thought it was Davey, but my mind is kinda shot.

litre_cola

Back in the day you could usually narrow down where someone is from by what they get shown. With that lineup I have 0 fucking clue. That is all over the place.

Viva La Tabula Raza

San Antonio. there would be a Dallas game on my list, but I guess the have a bye.

litre_cola

It was the Tampa game that threw me off, but with Dreamboat being MUST WATCH, SLLUUURRRP, I get it.

Viva La Tabula Raza

The networks have certainly scraped the Patriots off their shoe pretty quickly.

Sharkbait

Thats some fine officiating right there.

Gumbygirl

It really pisses me off that Spectre/um took my Redzone away.

litre_cola

Phil Spectre? He took a lot of things away.

Gumbygirl

Yeah, he killed a washed-up actress, but he gave us the Wall of Sound!

Viva La Tabula Raza

He made it with Ronnie Spector, I’m sure it was not because of his sexiness, but man she was a hottie.

Gumbygirl

She really was. I read she had a fling with Keith Richards too, she certainly had eclectic taste!

Viva La Tabula Raza

Ya mean “Nice Teeth Keith?”

Gumbygirl

Pre- heroin. They were never great, but they weren’t actually falling out of his mouth yet.

Recovery Whiskey

I’d go with Darlene Love from that group. Or maybe Cher if we forget she was 16.

Strong Rec-Spec game from the Humps kicker.

I need a Allie-Cox down tonight. If there is anyone who is good at getting cox into the endzone, it’s Philip Rivers

ArmedandHammered

Hey now, Phil wants nothing to do with any Sodomites.

Wasted seed.

A certain part of San Juan will have fireworks tonight!

Viva La Tabula Raza

I just realized that I am watching a TNF game between two AFC South teams, both with winning records. Fucking 2020, when will it cease to amaze?

rockingdog

kind of weird not seeing Andrew Luck as the Colts QB

Viva La Tabula Raza

Or Peyton.
Fuck, I am old.

Johnny U

Viva La Tabula Raza

I lived at Ft Meade in the late 1960s. I always hated that buck-tooth crew-cut motherfucker. I’d bet that he was pissed when he had to throw or hand off the ball to a black guy.

Not being from New Jersey, I never even knew who Bruce Springsteen was, before he was famous.

He was big on the college circuit on the east coast when my sister was at Pitt. I saw him before Born to Run came out, but he played most of it.

That is how we get through this ladies and gentlemen.

litre_cola

Now that I am working from home, I feel that I can really slack off when the games start.

JimU

Do you eat turkey on Murican Thanksgiving?

litre_cola

Sports bars here when they were open did serve it during the games.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Ironically, right?

litre_cola

They figure fuck it and might as well join the party. One place that has closed during the Rona used to serve Turducken here.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Nice State Farm ad there, with Aaron and Patrick and their insurance agent all sitting there eating breakfast. Hope there’s some COVID updates coming out of that.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Looks like the small amount of fans they let into the stadium tonight are anxious to swap some atmosphere to take home for Thanksgiving.

jjfozz

Game over

litre_cola

Did you write that in your notebook?

jjfozz

If by notebook you mean my scrotum, then yes.

litre_cola

Smooth canvas guvnah!

jjfozz

Best after a hot shower and some time with the dough roller.

rockingdog

TD tits!!!

JimU

Sexy Friday is tomorrow.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Man, that Tour of Duty Cold War movie looks cool. Is it going to be streaming on Amazon Prime?

LemonJello

Apple+

Viva La Tabula Raza

So, it is a movie?

jjfozz

COVID sucks ass, but it could grant my dream of dreams: holidays with just the five of us, eating, getting loaded, and falling asleep.

No driving. No family fights. No stupid shit.

Just eat. drink. pass out.

Doktor Zymm

As someone who has a small family, your dream is totally worth it. It’ll probably be even better than you expect.

jjfozz

I can’t tell you how many times I have said to my wife, “We’re staying here, with our kids. Fuck everybody else. If they get mad, fuck them. Now let’s get naked.”

LemonJello

“Sir, this is a public library!”

jjfozz

“Sir, this is a bus stop.”

ArmedandHammered

That electric Ford is not a Mustang no matter how much they spend n advertising.

LemonJello

Should have brought back the Pinto badging for that one.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I approve. I had a 72 Pinto Runabout and that car was pretty cool.

Gumbygirl

Would have been pretty hot if you ever go rearended in it. And yes, I realize that could be misinterpreted, bring it!

Viva La Tabula Raza

Got totaled, but it was a T-bone by an octogenarian in a 1963 Plymouth Valiant who ran a stop sign, not a stern shot. So, no VLTR Flambeau.

Recovery Whiskey

Guy in our group had a 77 Pinto and three of us bet each other we could pick up the rear end. We were not big dudes. So the 4th guy went over to distract him while us 3 all grabbed the bumper and lifted and up it went.

As he floored it and his RWD wheels spun in the air he screamed at us, “Put me down!”

“Ok!” And we dropped his car, which promptly took off with squealing tires since he was still flooring it, right into the intersection and narrowly missing someone with the right of way.

Much LMAO was had.

I had a Pinto in college. You could actually get a lot of people in those things, we maxed out at 8.

Food. What is it and why can’t I stop eating it?

Doktor Zymm

One of the stupider things I ever overheard was some lady talking about how bagels aren’t food.

Viva La Tabula Raza

If you put a hot dog in a bagel, is it a sandwich?

ArmedandHammered

Nope, just obscene to a lot of people.

jjfozz

If you cut Joe Buck open, you will find nothing but the blood of fallen angels. And cockroaches.

WCS

Same can be said for Eric Trump.

jjfozz

Or any Trump

I always imagined he was just full of old teeth from corpses

Viva La Tabula Raza

jjfozz

Can I tell you guys about one of the most best memories of my life?

Ok.

When I was a kid, maybe around 9, it was Christmas and we had those candles in the window. Such soft, comforting light.

My window was open and I heard my mom walk out of the house to have a smoke – Kent King 100s, fuckers.

And I heard her talking to our neighbor, who was also smoking.

It was a first glimpse into adults and how hard they worked and how they were also good friends.

I don’t know why, but it’s one of the best memories of my lfie.

Gumbygirl

I remember once when I was about 5 or 6 I slipped on the ice and my dad picked me up and carried me up the steps. It comforts me to this day, even though my dad and I had a complicated relationship.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Who knows, maybe that ice incident triggered it. Psychology is weird.

herodotus450

One of the games last year that was on Amazon had a second broadcast crew, which was Kolber and Andrea Kremer I think? It was ok.

Viva La Tabula Raza

*Invokes Rule 34 of Internet*

Gumbygirl

Totally agree.

Viva La Tabula Raza

“Tomi Lahren’s Stone Cold Locks”

Always there for me. Silent. Supportive. Open to my wishes. Warm and comforting. So relaxing, he helps me sleep at night. Will he travel with me to the underworld? time will tell.

I have pinkeye the second time in 2020, and ah ain’t even been hangin’ with Scott Baio.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I reckon pinkeye is better than browneye.

Gumbygirl

You don’t have to lie about your girlish crush, you’re among friends here.

ah mean, even if he’s a Trump cultist…still pretty HAWT

Viva La Tabula Raza

Hippo Love Chachi

Viva La Tabula Raza

I’m Navy trained. It’s not gay if you’re underway.

jjfozz

I have had many people tell me I look like him. once, in a drunken state I yelled, “Oh! So all Italians look the same to you? Just like black people?”

My friends made the right choice – paid the tab and hustled my ass out of the bar.

King Hippo

At least you were only so drunk that you still said “black people!”

jjfozz

Believe me, I’ve never said anything worse – although my racist uncle had many, many names for black people. All of them horrible.

In Baltimore it’s always been “white boy” and “black people”, no racism intended, just how we talk around here.

Well, some of us. Some of the other people are flat out cuntheads.

jjfozz

Oh dem hips….

King Hippo

Wha happen if you go all like Hey, Alexa, can you suck me dry?

“Please use the PornHub app.”

Can’t decide if I actually want to cancel my Mexico trip over Thanksgiving, or if I’m just grumpy tonight. I would be out about $300 from hotel deposit, but everything else is refundable.

jjfozz

fuck it. just buy a lot of tequila and wash the room down with it. also, wash your throat with it. when you’re done and you puke, that puke will be full of anti-germ tequila. so, i’d say go.

Gumbygirl

Science!

Doktor Zymm

I should do a test run tonight, I do have an unopened bottle right now

jjfozz

I’ll do a test too, because it would be a completely independent control group test. Except with bourbon. And shitty beer.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Are they even letting Americans into the country?

Doktor Zymm

Yeah, Mexico has been open to Americans the whole time, no restrictions.

King Hippo

I have heard tell that they are more nonchalant about #NuAIDS than even we’uns is.

Viva La Tabula Raza

They probably think we are going to pay for it. Like WALL.

King Hippo

Give us WALL! We need WALL!!!1111

Doktor Zymm

The resort towns have all implemented pretty solid measures, since they’re not as stupid as a lot of American towns and realize that it’s linked to demand. They’re in considerably better shape than the US.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Hold our beer.
—Red America

ballsofsteelandfury

Nope. They’re actually better than the US

I mean, you’d probably have the whole plane to yourself, that’d be kewl!

That’s got to be a couple hundred bucks in TP right there, at post apocalypse bartering rates.

I could have gotten a nitro truck for that much TP

With all the shitty shit that’s come into my life since July, this kid has completely saved me from torpedoing right down into the deep hole of depression. fucking love him more than bourbon.
