Your “And One Game To Rule Them All” Sunday Night Football Open Thread

Well, now that the day’s tilts have a.) made the playoff situation a whole helluva lot clearer or, b.) made the damn playoff situation that much more frickin’ muddier* we can now feast the eyebulbs on an interesting and curious matchup featuring two teams with different approaches to getting the treasured W.

*please pick one-this post was recorded at 10am this morning

TO THE GAME!

Titans/Packers:

-These two teams rank first and third in offensive efficiency but they also have D’s that love to ride the roller coaster. Should be interesting.

-As you might have expected, Aaron Rodgers leads the league in passing yards off play-action. Actually, nope. The Tannyhill possesses that number which is a hefty 1,580.(!) So for sure he leads the league in TD’s off run fakes, right? Again, nope. That belongs to his counterpart Rodgers. He has 18 scores from that play.

-Since 2018 in weeks 14 to 17 Derrick Henry has averaged 6.5 yards per carry. The Packers D ranks 27th in the league at stopping the run, surrendering 4.5 ypc since the start of the season.

-One might think to lay off the Titans wr’s in this spot but Tannyhill has thrown a TD in 11 straight games and has two or more scores in nine of those games.

-Lazard might be your sneaky play in this spot. He finally passed MVS in snap counts and routes run last week, recovering his position in the balls-thrown lineup that he occupied earlier in the season before he got injured. He definitely won’t get the attention that Adams demands.

I’m leaving it all-up to you, down below.

I’ve all but win 3rd place in my league, defeating Mrs Sharkbait. If anyone needs me, I’ll be on the couch for the next week.

Titans don’t want to seem to really want to win this game.

That’s been the inherent flaw in this team since they were the Oilers.

Doktor Zymm

So with tackles and such, it seems like you get extra yardage in the snow since you slide a while before a body part is down. Or you can just get extra yardage cause the refs are snow blind and can’t see that you’re out.

Redshirt

Yes and no. If you’re touched down or thrown down, you’re down where you land, which the snow would show. Same if you slide feet first.

If you slide head first without being touched, Slip-n-Slide rules apply.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Aaron Rodgers is looking more and more like Billy Bob Thornton as he gets older.

Brocky

Aaron Rodgers has most likely had a dream where he’s in a stadium and everyone is chanting at him

NO ONE LIKES YOU!?????

I’m sitting here suddenly cheering for the Titans because of the outside chance the Seahawks end up first place!

I still want to know who did a Freaky Friday with Ryan Tannehill.

Jamie Lee Curtis if memory serves.

TBH, I can’t think of any porn star that looked better after getting a boob job. I can think of one mainstream actor (Ashley Greene, since you’d ask anyway), but none in porn. And I’ve looked. I’ve really looked!

Well, that was unexpected.

I can’t think of a good nickname for this.

I just checked my mail and I have a jury summons from the Superior Court of California, in and for the County of Los Angeles, on January 11, 2021.

I have no idea how this is going to work. If it’s on the internet I’m just going to keep pressing the “guilty” button. Or maybe keep pressing the “not guilty” button, I’m not sure how I’ll go.

At least this proves that I am not a convicted felon. Not yet.

Sharkbait

Just spam “Jury Nullification” in the chat and you’ll be good

I have been a registered voter for 40 years, and I have never been called for jury duty. May the odds be ever in my favor!

Doktor Zymm

I’ve been called via mail, but never had to go to a place

Redshirt

I’ve been lucky. I’ve been called for both Petit Jury and Grand Jury. Petit Jury was a truck driver who settled out of court when the cop showed up. Grand Jury was one day a week for two month. That was fun.

WCS

Just tell them you think QAnon has some good ideas. That’ll take care of it.

SonOfSpam

I’m supposed to call in the week after New Year’s.

I think we get automatic electric chair apps.

Doktor Zymm

Fun Fact: A jury isn’t allowed to conduct investigations, so there’s a good chance the events in 12 Angry Men would have resulted in jury nullification

Senor Weaselo

I deferred my federal from last spring, but then the ‘rona hit so who knows if/when my number’ll get called.

Unfortunately I’m Eastern District, not Southern, so I won’t get to be a part of the shitshow.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

And look then in the eyes while saying so. Then gasp. “What. Have. You. Done?”

Unsurprised

Vote Not Guilty. Let ’em all out. Crash the system. Let chaos reign.

Viva La Tabula Raza

in the Tannehill Equal Justice ad, I like how they cut away from the crew cut cop after he patted the BLM protestors on the shoulders but before he tazed and billy-clubbed them into submission.

hippofant

These “social justice” commercials are hella milquetoast, yo. I didn’t expect any different, but it’s like, “How do we get social justice?” “Let’s have cordial conversations with one another, while wearing cool shoes!”

Senorita Weaselo and I are making snickerdoodles. With brown sugar replacing some of the white. Which means these’ll hopefully be gloriously molasses-y.

Urban Meyer is going to the NFL? But didn’t being HC of the Gators and the Buckeyes nearly kill him?

His brothers Suburban Meyer and Rural Meyer are also on the lookout for coaching opportunities

There’s quite a fervor around Rural Meyer.

NFL owners are arguing that interviewing a coach named Urban should satisfy their Rooney Rule obligations.

THIS my banner vote!!

Unsurprised

SECOND!

herodotus450

Well Nick Saban, Lou Holtz, and Bo Pelini had so much success doing the same thing!

Senor Weaselo

I imagine with all the mileage and recruiting NCAA coaching could be more stressful in that way. But yes.

Mother Puncher

I’d think the NFL would be less stressful for him. For one, losing a single game doesn’t ruin your season. And two, you’re allowed to admit that you pay your players

Unsurprised

Pete Carroll enthusiastically confirms.

Yes Cris, in the many many games that Rodgers has played in, THAT ONE RUN is the longest he’s ever run, simply because you were here to witness it.

King Hippo

Why on earth would you KICK an extra point in this? Surely your expected points are better going for 2 now.

Doktor Zymm

Pfft, thinking they calculate expected value like some sort of STATISTICS MAGICIANS

Dunstan

“Stupid math nerds, you can’t score fractions of a point. The expected value of going for one is one point, because you expect to make it. The expected value of going for two is zero points, because you don’t expect to make it. That’s just science!” — some NFL guy

Half the players on southern tier NFL teams probably played at northern tier schools, so I don’t think the weather is as big a deal as is sometimes made out.

This game needs to end in scorigami so there can be there straight days featuring one

ThePirateSloth

I’ve practically stopped smoking weed in favor of edibles over the last 6 months – I have scar tissue in my lungs that can exacerbate pneumonia and bronchitis, so I’ve been terrified of covid – and as such, we bought a Magic Butter Machine. This last batch of canna-coconut oil we made with 3oz of 24k Gold, a decent indica hybrid.

I dunno what we did different this time, but holy fuck, one cookie knocks you the fuck out.

We’ve only made butter and coconut oil so far – I’ve been using the butter to finish off pasta sauces after taking it off heat, and we’ve made a lot of cookies. I wanna try out some canna-olive oil, try out some other pasta dishes.

Redshirt

My mom got her medical marijuana card last year and she said the same thing. The vapes would take the pain away. One bite on an edible would take six hours away.

ThePirateSloth

It depends on the edible and the state. And your own tolerance. Oregon recreational edibles don’t get me high unless I’m eating the legal limit per edible. But I’ve been a smoker for 15 years.

Redshirt

Ah, that may be it. She was a user in High School, but she quit. She restarted so she could use it instead of pain meds and give her liver and colon a break.

ThePirateSloth

Encourage her to ditch the vaping. We have no data research on what breathing in hot oil vapor with each hit does to the lungs over a long period of time. When I was running a dispensary, I’d have regular customers coming every 2 days to buy a new cartridge, AND buy their legal limit on cart sale day (five 1g carts). That heavy of usage can not be good for a person in the long term, even if it has cannabis.

Redshirt

I think this is the Bengals fault. They were supposed to suck last Monday at Primetime, but they inexplicably showed up for the first time in years. The suckiness floated around until they landed on Tennessee tonight.
