Your “It’s So Rich And Creamy!” Second Slate of NFL Games Open Thread

Six, count ’em, six(!) tilts on the 4 o’clock sked! We’re not worthy! Off we go…

TO THE GAMES!

Colts/Raiders:

The Raiders haven’t looked like much recently, having had their arses handed to them by Atlanta and squeaking by the Jets thanks to Gregg. And now they might be without Jacobs again. Rook rb Taylor has put it into another gear-he’s converted 34% of his carries into 1st downs recently and LA has given up 50+ yards to 5 different rb’s over the last three weeks.

Jets/Seahawks:

There are some cracks showing in the Seahawks vaunted passing game that tore teams apart earlier in the year. Notably, Russ has been sacked more times since week 10 than anyone not named Wentz. But it’s the Jets and Seattle is angry and embarrassed-this should be over by the end of the 1st quarter.

Packers/Lions:

MVP chatter regarding Rodgers will only increase after he has his way with the Lions second worst secondary. (Hi there, Jets!) Things look good for rb Jones as well given that Detroit gave up three rushing scores just last week. Swift is finally back and it’s so easy to run on the Packers but you must wonder if he’ll be eased into playing-I’m guessing Peterson benefits and gets the red zone carries.

Saints/Eagles:

Kamara’s production be damned! Only three players (Henry, Chubbs and Gibson) have more rushing fantasy points than Taysom since he began starting. His passing numbers are all kinds of shitty and the Saints would be in all kinds of trouble if they fall behind in any game. Rook qb Hurts gets his very first start and would do well to mimic Hill if he wishes to be successful off the hop.

Falcons/Chargers:

Herbert should bounce back playing against one of only three D’s that has allowed more than 10% of plays to be explosive. (20yds passing, 15yds rushing) Still, one must also factor in Lynn’s dubious on-field coaching and his bewildering thought processes. The Chargers have all kinds of good, young talent on both sides of the ball and need to move on to someone else after the season.

Team/Niners:

J.D. McKissic has quietly become PPR league’s 24th ranked rb and while he’ll lose goal line work to Peyton Barber this week he’s quite startable. If Team’s D can get to Ben easily you know they’re going to make Mullen’s day a living nightmare.

Doktor Zymm

What shitty last play from the Niners. Not even ONE lateral!

King Hippo

If you had a QB less stupid, not that hard to burn 8 seconds tossing a Hail Mary out of bounds.

Doktor Zymm

So…emergency QB > Haskins? Poor guy

King Hippo

Yeah, hard to not feel bad for how he was “developed”

Doktor Zymm

The next QB that’s drafted by Team, I’m gonna legit write him, his agent, and his family a letter just saying DON’T

Doktor Zymm

Aw, I hope those happy fat men enjoy the forest sex parties before they’re killed by Team’s medical staff

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Team’s defense and something called Brandon Aiyuk are going to knock me out of the playoffs

Doktor Zymm

*Glares at failed waiver claim for Team D*

Petronel

Gorgeous catch and nice run. Too bad it won’t count for anything.

Gumbygirl

I decided to cut my acorn squash BEFORE I spark a doob. My fingers thank me.

Game Time Decision

Liouns going to recover the onside kick. Go packers. Lol

Cecil Rhodes

Must be the Fuck Lions. The Jim Caldwell Cuck LioUns don’t even try the onside kick.

Horatio Cornblower

Oh, the Saints had that one, too.

King Hippo

Man, did PHI ever deserve to lose that game. I guess NO could still lose the division to the unthinkables, too.

Doktor Zymm

Do we have a god of chaotic outcomes in the NFL pantheon?

Horatio Cornblower

Eastofus?

King Hippo

I’d say you now have dibs on Naming Rights!

Doktor Zymm

ILLUYEAST

King Hippo

The last hour of FITBAW hasn’t exactly been GOOD, but I sure as shit am entertained.

Horatio Cornblower

Holy shit, I have Jared Cook in my line-up.

Now I’m only gonna lose by 40!

Doktor Zymm

My DFOball fantasy team had enough juice to make it to the playoffs, but this week they’ve done whatever the butt equivalent of dry heaving is

King Hippo

Uh…does Pedersen know how time works?

LemonJello

He just knows it’s a flat circle.

King Hippo

Not that I am complaining, needed that TaysomDOWN!

Game Time Decision

Chase Daniels with the TD run. BLEERGH says NO

yeah right

Hey look! It’s 4:20!

LemonJello

Sudden change in San Frazona? Under Review.

litre_cola

Oh Football Team choking this away would be delish.

Doktor Zymm

It’s a thing they do

Petronel

By a pinkie!

Petronel

Crap. (Bold mixing of plaids by Pereira.)

Doktor Zymm

Goes surprisingly well with football:

Cecil Rhodes

Do the Eagles have a pass rusher named Jock Sweat?

yeah right

It’s official. I’m gonna start charging for dinner.

God DAMN that chicken parm was fucking amazing.

Now I got a glass of red and well, all bets are off.

Gumbygirl

Woo Bolts!

Doktor Zymm

Kicking to lounge music is really quite relaxing

Cecil Rhodes

Shitty Clippers almost didn’t call the timeout in time. DOINK upcoming.

Senor Weaselo

I apologize to no one for thinking the Cardiac Seahawks wouldn’t cover, because we got that curb-kicking and/or shit-stomping out of it. YOU’RE WELCOME AMERICA.

Doktor Zymm

If there are people who have a nose fetish, they must really be getting off on all the noses peeking coyly outside of masks on every. single. sideline.

herodotus450

Yeah but now everytime I use one everyone calls it a “symbol of racism” or something. Oh wait you said “nose.”

yeah right

One of the strange side effects of this year is nobody says “That girl (or dude) is hot” because how can you tell?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Pretty interesting interception-off taking place in Clipperland.

LemonJello

Sees Cam Akers and his 23.4 points on the Iguana Mart Burble Borble bench.

“Dammit.”

litre_cola

You are killing me no?

LemonJello

Projections have you winning by 3 right now.

litre_cola

OH, that won’t happen.

Doktor Zymm

Woo! I forgot I had Mancini’s soundtrack to Peter Gunn! The Eagles are looking suave to these tunes!

litre_cola

Oh Shitty Clippers, never change.

King Hippo

This has just been an epic, mutual pitch shitting. Perfect for the franchises involved.

Horatio Cornblower

Me, every time Jalen Hurts gets his name mentioned:

Doktor Zymm

I like Juszchyk for maximizing Eastern European consonant combinations in his name

Horatio Cornblower

“Smith it is!”

Ellis Island intake officer, on meeting Juszchyk’s great grandfather.

Doktor Zymm

Gotta go with Jones, same first syllable

Cecil Rhodes

You can’t buy a vowel on the Polish edition of Wheel of Fortune.

Doktor Zymm

Ha! Next on Zymm’s list of college vinyl, in alphabetical order, Antiproduct!

Doktor Zymm

Aw man, I used to do the best 5 second crustcore imitation

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The Dr. Mrs. vastly overvalues the prospect of having food delivered to the house considering that going out to pick up food is pretty much the ONLY place we ever go now.

hippofant

I tried grocery delivery a couple times. Both times they missed the time-slot, missed some items, made some bad substitutions for others. And it took me quite a while to shop it online anyways so I’ve abandoned the idea and just go get groceries on weekdays.

litre_cola

7 am on Thursdays for me. I just start my workday at 8 that day instead of 630.

hippofant

Night times for me. Stores have their hours extended to midnight around here and they’re nice and empty at that time.

Gumbygirl

That’s what I do too. I tried delivery once and got moldy berries. No thanks!

Doktor Zymm

The grocery store is astoundingly fun when it’s your only outing. Thank cthulu I have horseback riding.

Senor Weaselo

I’m surprised you haven’t put a saddle on Cthulhu for that matter.

Doktor Zymm

It’s not clear where his withers are

King Hippo

The call stands, because Fuck Detroit.

King Hippo

My longshot playoff chances require ATL/non-SD overtime, with at least two MOAR Younghoe FGs.

litre_cola

I have lost all 4 matchups dismally.

King Hippo

My day peaked with FC Metz winning me HT bet.

litre_cola

You know when mine did.

Horatio Cornblower

My opponent started the Rams D against NE this week, and I’ve been bowing gracelessly out of the play-offs ever since.

King Hippo

RRRRRRRRRAM IT!! D/ST is the only way I have any chance whatsoever.

Cecil Rhodes

Had to step away to restablish a monopoly on the diamond trade. Back to comment now. Did I mess any stunning displays of ineptitude or cromulence?

Cecil Rhodes

miss*

King Hippo

You see, I had been trying to phrase the Rhodesia joke just right and now I can stop!

Horatio Cornblower

I have bad news about some of your statues.

Cecil Rhodes

Some people don’t appreciate that all civilized men south of the Zambezi now have equal rights.

King Hippo

I am LOVING THIS! Don’t be a stranger, new Imaginary, Colonial Friend!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

[points in general direction of Las Vegas]

King Hippo

C’mon, Dok. I know these plucky generic fuckers are pulling at yer heart strings!

Doktor Zymm

They’ve had a consistently inspiring D-line, but almost killing Trent Williams was the final nail, and I can’t watch them now without assuming they are all doomed

Horatio Cornblower

Also Dan Snyder still owns Team.

King Hippo

He probably wanted the higher draft pick, though. Not that he’s usually one much for reaching high.

Doktor Zymm

I assume those be linked. An owner bears responsibility for a training and medical staff that consistently demean the reputation of Hollywood Upstairs Medical School, no matter who the coach

litre_cola

Humpceptionsix

Petronel

Welp

King Hippo

Nick Mullens is really bad. Even by 2020 standards.

LemonJello

Beathard sighting!

King Hippo

Former Bartlett Administration Press Secretary CJ Cregg WOO!!!

LemonJello

Team-ception!

Doktor Zymm

Time to dust my vinyl with the turntable needle. There’s nothing dissonant about listening to Against Me’s “Reinventing Axl Rose” while watching Red Zone, right? I was such a shitty Ancap in college, lol

Doktor Zymm

Hmmm, nostalgia and 1.3 bottles of wine isn’t quite enough to make this good

Horatio Cornblower

Have you considered 1.4 bottles of wine?

Doktor Zymm

I just skipped to the B-side.

“We’re all hypocrites
But you’re a patriot
You thought I was only joking
When I screamed out “Kill Whitey!”
At the top of my lungs
At the cops in their cars
And the men in their suits
No, I won’t take your hand
And marry the State

[Hook]
‘Cause baby, I’m an Anarchist
And you’re a spineless Liberal
We marched together for the eight-hour day
And held hands in the streets of Seattle
But when it came time to throw bricks
Through that Starbucks window
You left me all alone (all alone…)

King Hippo

Christ, I shall have to re-write this NO/PHI blurb.

King Hippo

Hey, fucko. I want absolutely fuckall to do with the 2020 Iggles! – Jeebus H. Christ, Heaven

King Hippo

Because when you have a late, 2-score lead on the NICK MULLENS Tomsulas, you absolutely run a crazy WR option pass at midfield. JEEBUS.

litre_cola

That’s usin ure brain Hippo.

herodotus450

Hey when you draft a quarterback in the first round, what are you supposed to do, use him to throwe the ball?

herodotus450

Philly football talkin guy must’ve just read a book about Ford cause he just gave the most strained analogy of all time comparing quarterbacks to cars.

Game Time Decision

No way that anyone from Philly can read

hippofant

Would someone please give Alex Smith a hug?

Game Time Decision

And have that curse rub off on me, hell no

Doktor Zymm

It’s like a chain letter. HUG 3 QBS WITH HORRIFYING INJURIES OR IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOOOOOOOU

King Hippo

/also if you have a spare leg

Doktor Zymm

I still don’t understand why the Niners couldn’t just play at the French Laundry

Senor Weaselo

It would’ve been a French mistake?

Horatio Cornblower

Sounds like steam escaping.

Gumbygirl

Nice drive for Herbert.

Doktor Zymm

I know brand safety is all about not putting Disney ads on neo-nazi videos and shit, but it seems like putting ads full of peppy preppies on Joy Division or Echo and the Bunnymen videos is also kinda messed up

Recovery Whiskey

Blitzkrieg Bop got used to promote ATT a few years ago. Ruined the song for a while.

Senor Weaselo

Gotta say, the Jason Myers revenge game is going great for him.

Doktor Zymm

New Wave debate: Is the world Mad (Tears for Fears) or Ordinary (Duran Duran)?

Gumbygirl

The world is a vampire.

litre_cola

The world is flat – K. Irving

clint greasewood

Just saw this on a NFL Stat tweet.

13 missed FGs and 5 missed XPs today.

Gumbygirl

Someone needs to draft that girl from Vanderbilt. She’s kicking 100%

Senor Weaselo

Praise SHAN’KHOR in all her glory!

Doktor Zymm

Damn ennui filled kickers
