Week 2, 2021 – Early Games Filler Thread

Still waiting to hear from Scotchy, but figured I should barf this up just in case (It’s at least a START, fatty!  – Karen C.)

Bengals (+1.5) at Bears

What a Brave New World, Bearistocrats! have sucked and fucked their way to not even getting the “standard 3” home to Team WKRP.  I’m not complaining, mind.

Texans (+13.5) at Browns

Look, #ThePauls always give the Andy Reid Chefs fits.  But I’m not sure they should be this heavily favoUred over a college team, or even the Falcons.

Rams (-4) at Colts

Whaddya know, RRRRRRRRRAM IT!! goes all in to shed their emotionally/intellectually stunted QB, while the Fat Humps go out and acquire one.  Ships sailing in opposite directions.

Bills (-3.5) at Dolphins

This line sure doesn’t reflect Week 1’s harsh realities, given that the LOLfins beat Belicheat on the road, whilst BUF lost at home to the putrid (at least in my headspace) Yinzers.  But I ain’t betting it.

49ers (-3) at Eagles

Lots of small road favoUrites = very narrow survivor pool trees.  If TB or GB lose, half your pool goes down.  Perhaps MOAR?

Raiders (+5) at Steelers

Like I said, PIT ain’t no good.  But neither are That’s Rikki’s Raiders – and I am especially skeptical coming off an emotional MNF win.

Saints (-3) at Panthers

This seems like a sucker line, given how Sean Payton owns the Black Panthers.  Who also acquired an actual ret….Special Young Mani to play QB.  I feel less bad about mocking Touch of Downs given that he’s an anti-vaxxer weirdo.

Broncos (-6) at Jaguars

Oh my cats, is I ever worried.  Doing all I can to break the likely hex (coming off road win, JAX looking putrid, weird atmosphere, historical bogey side, etc.), posting the good luck pic of me cat and favoUrite shirt, actually putting my Chubb on (I shall spare ye that picture), drinking coffee from Donks mug.  And I even bet $50 on Jaguras ML.

Patriots (-6) at Jets

I almost forgot this’un, which would be bad, given the number of supporters in the Clubhouse for each.  Neither squadron had a positive start, but everyone expects the Jest to continue Jesting.  I dunno, didn’t even consider NE for survivor.

Well go for a brisket injury into a fumble

Doktor Zymm

That is the first time I have heard someone use the phrase “pulled up lame” to a person rather than a horse

Spur

so you dont watch SEC football

Gumbygirl

I have pulled up lame hoisting my lard off the couch.

Gumbygirl

Yesterday I pulled my right tit muscle trying to catch my phone when Gumby tossed it to me. I’m one step from the glue factory.

Gatoraids

Anthony In TX

When Taylor clearly hurt himself running for the TD, I told Mrs. In TX he was injured.

The announcers calling the game legitimately couldn’t figure out why Taylor wasn’t starting the 2nd half. Incompetence, thy name is Gumbel/Archuleta.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

This game is….not good. Like Jets bad.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

To be clear, I’m watching 4th and 5th graders.

Spur

Not a good day to be a starting QB

Gatoraids

Jeff George stares at phone intensely

Recovery Whiskey

The phone is nowhere in his field of view as he stares down the sofa

Petronel

Just got back from spending two-plus hours on a Memo To File and associated file backup. From what Mr. Nel tells me, NYNURZ! have been…less than impressive and should be down by at least 17. Looking forward to seeing the second-half clusterfuckery.

Petronel

It is, isn’t it? (And, we don’t get the P*ts game, so there’s that.)

Doktor Zymm

Ukrainian cursing lesson
“Pizda rulu…”
“Something bad is happening.” Literally means ‘cunt to steering wheel’. Try driving down the freeway using your crotch, and you’ll understand.

Just closed all my FF windows

I try not to look until the Sunday afternoon games

Gumbygirl

Gumby has Stafford. He is quite happy so far.

Somehow Bills-Dolphins is on Fox and we get stuck with Matt Millen.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

I have more jokes about the Jets but when I start to get into Rumi and Warren Jeffs territory, I’m getting too esoteric for my own good.

Gumbygirl

You have to consider your audience. Some of us haz the Dumb.

I spelled consider wrong, thus proving my thesis.

Has football always been this boring? I seem to remember liking it

Game Time Decision

Yes. It’s just got slightly more action than golf and baseball

litre_cola

Gamble more.

Recovery Whiskey

Tell me you’re not drinking without saying you’re not drinking. Or are a Bears fan.

herodotus450

Just one game, all they have to do is stagger just one game’s start time and then we wouldn’t all be subjected to the virtual lobotomy that is halftime studio shows/reports.

hippofant

Just start 1 game on Saturday at midnight and have them play one game after the other until midnight on Monday.

litre_cola

When are the London games?

Bears: “We’re gonna limp into halftime with an impotent 2 minute drill.”
Bengals: “No, we’re gonna limp into halftime with an impotent 2 minute drill.”
Bears: “NO, we’re gonna limp into halftime with an impotent 2 minute drill.”

It has come to my attention that I am really bad at FF.

The trick is to never play fantasy football.

Yes. Yes, it is.

It is not a skill-based game

Have RedZone as part of my tv thingy now, Holy shit, how much coke is the host on?

litre_cola

It legit is like cocaine.

I just figured it was a euphemism

Gatoraids

Yes have some

Robert Saleh actually is a progressive type of Muslim: only white men can’t drive under his system.

Doktor Zymm

I am confused by the Iggles

litre_cola

What in the fuck was that playcall???

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Zach Wilson gets intercepted in the Red Zone more than Hamas missiles.

WCS

Somehow less accurate, too.

TheRevanchist

I’ve got the 49ers game or the Raiders game to watch. This just feels like a waste of time.

Anthony In TX

Damn. That’s a tough choice. I guess you’re better off watching the Raiders, but oof either way.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Watch the Raiders game with SAP on! The announcers will make it seem much more exciting.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The Raiders have badly missed two tackles on JuJu. It’s like he’s the napkin that Andy Reid used at breakfast, by which I mean “covered in grease”.

Is Mayfield gonna RG3 his shoulder?

I can’t remember whether I took an edible, this means I took an edible.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Thanks for reminding me.

Mother Puncher

Yea but it’s not working because you didn’t take enough. Better finish the other half of that brownie

Gumbygirl

I’m holding off until after I make my soup. Too much chopping, I don’t need any extra protein in there.

Doktor Zymm

We’re losing a QB roughly every 8 game minutes

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Zach Wilson takes inspiration when it comes to the special underwear he wears. Not Mormonism but Marv Albert.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Zach is still disappointed that the NC-17 Bad Lieutenant DVD he worked so hard for turned out to be Region 2 only.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Region 2 is also what I call Keitel’s scrotum

Spur

and yet the BEN keeps on keeping on

Spur

Mayfield hurt

clint greasewood

Carson Wentz not good.

So much for the wrath of Dalton revenge game. Red dead redemption denied

Dalton dead

Bengals just injured the Bears starting QB, ensuring that the Bears will win now

Doktor Zymm

Fun fake fact: The NFL never meant to penalize taunting, an intern misheard their discussions around penalizing the formation of tontines between players and transcribed it wrong. Tontines continue to be a popular way for retired NFL players to fund their healthcare at the expense of their CTE afflicted mates.
