Your “It’s Last Call!” Sunday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Yet another day of games almost done. And so am I. Seriously, my mind’s a blank.

To The Game!

Seahawks/Steelers:

-I’ve never been much of a Pittsburgh fan-I guess because they were just so dominant in the 70’s. One player I did like though was not that guy from Detroit but a fella that had a similar running style and that was Bam Morris. He had a short run but he liked contact (and drugs) and the old football fan in me liked running backs that doled out punishment.

-The old Seahawks player that I liked was Steve Largent. Yeah, I know. But he was the first wr that I could identify as a ‘technician’. Throwing to the sideline or to the back of the endzone, Largent had that talent of keeping his toes to the edge of the boundary and leaning over to make the catch.

-It’s funny to me that a player that was regularly in the limelight goes away and then comes back again. This week we happened to get two-Geno Smith and Lev Bell.

-Last week I felt that Herbert was on the cusp of being ‘matchup proof’. Well, as it is with most pronouncements I make regarding the football, it was wee bit outside, as they say.

Done. Now you.

oh man, you NEVAR go Full Geno

Mr. Ayo

SUDDEN GENO CHANGE!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

After all this, we deserve a tie

Mr. Ayo

— D. Carradine

Doktor Zymm

Double windsor or gtfo

Doktor Zymm

I am okay with OT, nothing else to do, no other reason to open another beer

Mr. Ayo

Being a HOX fan is exhausting.

Your QB is Geno, just lose like a normal terrible team.

King Hippo

I am so sleepy. There better be a MOST GLORIOUS DRAW

Mr. Ayo

NO DRAW FOR YOU.

King Hippo

I get nothing, which is what I deserve.

Recovery Whiskey

Win or lose loving every weird call going against Pittsburgh. Karma.

Dunstan

I demand a royalty on that joke.

And so is Mike Tomlin
OT!

King Hippo

Because we have sinned…a fifteenth hour.

Sharkbait

Its because we touch ourselves at night

Dunstan

Well, not only at night

Viva La Tabula Raza

This is fucking nuts.

Gumbygirl

Refs gave them a free timeout.

Mr. Ayo

They had the ball spiked with 1 sec left already.

Doktor Zymm

Sharkbait

Banannacakes ending?

Mr. Ayo

OMG, they’re going to lose because of a runoff due to a completely unnecessary review?

King Hippo

That would be Peak NFL

Sharkbait

Touchdown Seahawks karma coming back what? 18 years later?

Mr. Ayo

Oh thank god that didn’t happen.

hippofant

I think the running clock after a review is if they stopped the clock based on the initial call (e.g. incomplete pass) and then decided after that the clock shouldn’t have stopped (e.g. fumble).

Though fuck if I know.

Mr. Ayo

The runoff happens if the call is reversed, so there was actually no danger of that happening.

hippofant

It happens no matter what if the call is reversed while the clock is running?

So if they ruled DK Metcalf didn’t fumble it, that’d still incur the runoff?

Mr. Ayo

Um, sure? If the ruling on the field is changed for any reason, 10 sec runoff.

hippofant

That’s so strange. So they could literally have a review that changes nothing on the field, just somebody’s stat-lines, and that would end the game.

Gatoraids

review going to take longer than the injury timeout

WCS

PRAISE CHAOS

Sharkbait

A Deejay Dallas Multipass TD would be nice here.

Doktor Zymm

Pittsburgh has had maybe 3 head coaches in the past 60 years?

WCS

Noll, Cowher, Tomlin since 1970.

Sharkbait

“Mostly unseen”

Geno Smith is a Milford man.

WCS

Petey still doesn’t understand clock management.

Mr. Ayo

I’m quite certain they have not left enough time for Geno.

Sharkbait

15 minutes isn’t enough time for Geno.

King Hippo

Should have let RW try to sling charm lefty

King Hippo

So…that Boswell has an “88” tattoo somewhere, yeah?

WCS

Dick jokes and Yinzerness aside, sincerest best wishes to Taylor. It’s always those innocuous plays…

Sorry, forgot that embedding isn’t working tonight?

Anyway, it’s a tweet about Howard Cosell being braver in 1968 than every NFL announcer today.

Brocky

I’m not clicking the link with johnny Knox in the name

Brocky

I’m sure he’ll get the same amount of attention that Ryan shazier got, right fellas?

Sharkbait

Extra Thicc

Doktor Zymm

Can move his legs, that is good

Mr. Ayo

I wish my doctor had your same optimism.

Doktor Zymm

Leg momentum!

Brocky

He’s a kicker but….

Brocky

You know, for wildcard standings, I should want Seattle to lose this, but I really want to see all those yinzers go home disappointed

Mr. Ayo

Why do you continue to tempt God?

At some point it’s on you.

Brocky

Damn you’re right.

I think my week cant get worse. Both my real life teams lost, but I’ve got to overcome a 2 point lead with 3 players tomorrow. So I’ll have that .

Watch god finally hit the game with the meteor we’ve hoped for years

Mr. Ayo

Wow, you almost surprised them with that running play Petey!

herodotus450

It must be a Homer, Travis…

Sharkbait

Deejay Dallas Multipass

King Hippo

God help us if this goes to Extra Time

Mr. Ayo

I’m sure SHANK’LOR would be kind and just.

Doktor Zymm

Dear Glod, help us pleez!

Gumbygirl

This game is pissing me off.

Mr. Ayo

Wait until you see how it ends.

Gumbygirl

Oh, I can see the writing on the wall.

Recovery Whiskey

A call 15 years in the making

Doktor Zymm

There are a few women who wish Ben had failed to pump

Sharkbait

Ben isn’t the best at controlling the tip.

Sharkbait

Absolutely a fumble

Mr. Ayo

YES!!!

Doktor Zymm

That was soooo dumb

Mr. Ayo

FUMBLE!!!

Fuck the tuck rule.

King Hippo

Who died and made Geno Smith competent??

Doktor Zymm

The Jets?

Gatoraids

Carroll gave him a talk about ex Jets vs Steelers

Mr. Ayo

Nobody! They’re doing this on the ground. He’s missed like 20 throws already.

Brocky

Theresa a tavaris jackson joke in here somewhere

yeah right

That motherfucker has a ring.

Bullee dat

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Rush Limbaugh.

No, just kidding. Not about Rush being dead, though. Cause he’s definitely dead.

Doktor Zymm

Do all the Watts have J as a middle inital? Also, how have they proved they are equal to volts times amps?

yeah right

I’m a huge fan of the ohms.

Mr. Ayo

^^^ Member of the Resistance

yeah right

/ Tap tap

Is this thing on?

Mr. Ayo

The DFO is quite operational.

yeah right

Internet dad doing work!

Fronkenshteen

If anyone was wondering, the song Keith Richards sings throughout the Sopranos episode where Pussy gets whacked is actually a Stones song called “Thru and Thru” off the Voodoo Lounge album.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NepcAaKXNuM

yeah right

That was a hard ass episode.

It left repercussions through the entire series.

King Hippo

the talking fish is what got me, that was seven kinds of fucked

Brocky

Since we’re talking about big puss, when i was younger I always confused his actor, vincent pastore, with Joey Diaz. So in saints of newark, when I realized that Joey Diaz was supposed to be puss’s dad, I was delighted

Mr. Ayo

Nirvana outro music?

What’s next? Tossed fish?

Sharkbait

In the preseason the Kraken used a Nirvana song as their goal song. Cliché, but kind of awesome at the same time

Mr. Ayo

Well the Kraken can do now wrong for now.

Mr. Ayo

OMG! Lockett is alive!

I was about to send a card and flowers to his family for their loss.

Doktor Zymm

Is the band in that Google commercial called The Sharts? Good for them!

Gatoraids

Cris Collinsworth wishes he could be Big Bens bathroom attendant

Fronkenshteen

This seems…alive.
