Your “I Hope You Like Fireworks” Thursday Night Football Open Thread

I just jinxed it, didn’t I? You can blame me after the game when you look at Hopkins’ 3 catches, 45 yards stat line. The game does look promising and there a number of quality tilts on offer this weekend. (unlike the first two “Point and Laugh” games featured on Thanksgiving)

Newsy Notes:

-The Giants have an new offensive line coach! They’d been slowly improving and a New York-centric podcast had noted that Judge had been spending quite a bit of time with the unit. He’d also gone ahead and hired a consultant by name of Dave DeGlugielmo to help Marc Colombo along. I guess when the latter heard the news there was a ‘wordy kerfuffle’ and someone lost their job. I think it has been very well established that questioning Judge’s judgement is verboten these days so, so long.

Bruce Arians, when questioned about our fave nutball wr said to the  reporters gathered, “He’s a model citizen-everyone here has gotten angry at some time. If you haven’t, I invite you to cast the first bike.”

-The Raiders now have 11 players on their Covid list. Wasn’t The Grinder fined some shekels a while ago for not following protocols? Weird how these things happen.

TO THE GAME!

Cards/Seahawks:

-Carson is out but Hyde be in. Perhaps some semblance of a running game might halt Seattle’s “lost 3 of the last 4” slide.

-The twice-baked failure pie that is the Seahawks D didn’t have a sack or even a hit on Murray the last time they interacted. They give up around 57.1 fantasy points each week to opposing wr’s, a number that is 11 points more than the next-worst team. So… “Play ‘Em All!”

-Much like some of the models Unsurprised likes to post, this NFC West division is very top-heavy. The Rams D and offensive line has really gelled the last few weeks and the Cards still have to play them twice. If Seattle wins this one they get a Fluffer’s Row of Philly, both NY teams and Team and they should be looking pretty.

-Are you kinda disappointed in Drake/Edmonds production? Well, Arizonny has 15 TD’s on the ground so far and the Kyler kid has 10 of them. Ball hogger. Can’t do that in baseball, buddy.

-Reminder, last time around Lockett went bananas-200 yds and 3 TD’s. DK was not OK because PP shadowed him and he ended up with 23 yards gained.

-Is Wilson forcing it too much? The most interceptions he’s had in a year was 11 and he’s at 10 already.

Type as though you’re staving off boredom.

/Hey, there’s a Tulane/Tulsa game on at 7:30 if you can’t wait for footed ball

Ha ha I make cartoons for a living.

The biggest difference I see between Murray 2020 and Wilson 2013 is Wilson was dropping dimes on scramble plays. Murray seems capable but isn’t executing as much.

Doktor Zymm

Figures that the one week there’s an actually compelling Thursday night matchup is the same week I get stuck working late. How was the first half?

Recovery Whiskey

Compelling

hippofant

Didn’t miss much.

Recovery Whiskey

Tough call but its the new NFL

Viva La Tabula Raza

Only reason I am rooting for the Cards is that an old shipmate I’m still in touch with is a real Trumper as well as a SeaCocks fan. Suffer, Vinci!

Recovery Whiskey

Some of us are not Trumpers

Viva La Tabula Raza

Understood, it’s just him, not you; all the liberals in the death radius of my rooting for the Cards are just collateral damage. Nothing personal….

I am sure that who I do and don’t pull for in any matchup has anything to do with the actual outcome.

Zona acting like theres a full crowd

Brick Meathook

Is that Michael Vick? Good Lord he’s terrible.

Recovery Whiskey

Mike Vick being promoted seems like PETA trolling

Gumbygirl

He should be tied to a rape stand and pegged with a cattle prod.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Or have his courting tackle chewed off by an angry/hungry Staffordshire terrier.

Gumbygirl

That too! We had season tickets the first couple of years he played in Atlant, but he is dead to me now. I see no reason to rehabilitate the reputation of an animal abuser like him, but nothing the NFL does surprises me anymore.

hippofant

Wow I heard like 10 seconds of that Fox News commercial and my brain just convulsed from the sudden shock dose of stupidity.

litre_cola

Can I interest you in some Pierre Poilievre from up here?

hippofant

I’m Canadian. I’m well-aware of idiotic Conservatives copying, first, the Tea-Party and now the Trumpers. Like the idiot 19-year old Oosterbeck that the Ontario PCs trotted out to bitch about green energy prices, who then admitted to the press that he still lived with his parents and had never even seen a hydro bill in his life. (Which is why conservatives don’t take questions from the press.)

Still. That was like a direct injection of unadulterated conservative idiocy directly into my brain. I don’t have any kinda acquired tolerance against that shit! Nobody – thank god – watched Sun TV!

Sun media up here does that to my brain.

hippofant

I’m gonna… look for a way to watch this game without the Fox commercials. The Fox Patriots or whatever channel they keep promoting keeps making me imagine some fat bearded dude sunken into an old couch in a dark trailer just jerking off into an American flag.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Amazon prime.

I got so many “Q” s on my fantasy football team, I’m on some fucked up mailing lists now.

But you know where the good pizza places are right? Isn’t that part of the deal?

Avoid the ones with the basements. The sexy sexy basements.

Looks like these teams are both going to return to form tonight.

I like the penalties that basically say “you can’t possibly have covered that guy unless you cheated”

Yes you can. just change the numbers in the computer it’s fine

Are you actually able to watch any of that?

WCS

It’s hilarious! The commercials they air are on some kind of different level.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I don’t know. I might end up smoking my .45 if I had to expose myself to that for long. I guess I would have found all this shit funny if I was in my 20s, like I was when Reagan was “in charge.” Now as an old I find this shit frightening.

Nice tackling Zona

Those jerseys were fantastic. Way better than the next ones they had.

Really enjoyable player, really shit human being.

Terrible mayor too

The patsy that helped keep Seattle from buying back into the NBA.

I really do like Patrick Mahomes, and, A.A. Ron is… okay. These State Farm commercials make me to see a rabid wolverine chew their necks out.

You try criticizing with your mouth full of balls

Gaga ain’t no stranger to a cock in her mouth.

You say that like it’s a bad thing

Fair caught with 10 yards of space

This chick is far too high maintenance. He buys her a GMC and I bet she still cheats on him with the pool boy.

SonOfSpam

Can confirm.

I’m the pool boy.

LemonJello

Oh, he watches. No doubt about it.

Recovery Whiskey

Falwell Jr. is that you?

Viva La Tabula Raza

I don’t think there’s anyone on this site that was alive when that was the case.
I could never understand why my Boston-born (1916) grandfather was a fan of the Atlanta Braves. Turns out he was a Boston Braves fan from childhood, and stayed with them thru their moves to Milwaukee and then Atlanta.

Recovery Whiskey

That looks like a nice stadium. Maybe I can go inside it some day

LemonJello

When we’re rounded up as food for the lizard people, you’ll get your chance.

That’s coming soon.

Just once, I’d like to see these commercials depicting fans eagerly watching a game end with them losing their minds and tearing up the house because their team just lost.

The Racine Ave Cardinals were the result of the Chicago Maroon faded used jerseys.

Okay. Kyler Murray is starting to grow on me.

The other day, my oldest son burst into tears and said, “I feel shitty that I have a job and you don’t, dad.”

I’m going to shoot my boss in the fucking face with a bazooka.

Nice knowing you guys

LemonJello

If I may, could there be a tragic rock crusher accident? It would hurt more.

jjfozz

I like it, plus renting a rock crusher is way cheaper.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Your Second Amendment rights will prevent you from conviction, if you use the bazooka.

Gumbygirl

I like the hair dryer in the bathtub “accident” myself, but I am old skool.

(most people without hair don’t own hair dryers)

That makes it even funnier!

Radio. Everyone likes to listen to the radio.

No, just a Ciara-virgin. Unlike Future.

False. He was previously married.

Then Golden Tate had his way with her.

THis old man has two tears in his miniscus. surgery on december 7. bring those pain killers on, baby.

Opiates is the gift that keeps on giving all Xmas season!

If his surgeon’s Japanese, I hope he plunges the scalpel while making the dive-bomb noise.
