Your Monday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Are you in the playoffs? I think I’ve got it made in three of four leagues but I’ll have to see how things shake out tonight. Can’t believe that last minute fill-ins J. Guyton and K.J. Osborn both came through in Freezer Vodka-that never happens for me.

Newsy Notes:

-There’s a corner of the interwebs that is marveling over Herbert’s toss to Guyton at the end of the half and when I saw it I just said, “of course, it’s the fucking Giants!” After all, they have now given up 59 points in the last minutes of the first half while having not scored a point. But I’ve watched the play several times now and the D played it correctly, thinking that with under thirty seconds left the play would be a 15 yard out pass or a thirty yarder to the middle of the field, a timeout and a field goal. It would be difficult to anticipate that a 64 air yard pass would gently drop into Guyton’s bucket in the end zone. Ballsy call. That’s Herbert’s 10th pass completion over 55+ air yards in a little over a year and a half, btw.

-These Walking Boots Were Made For Walking: Speaking of big arms, Josh Allen is in a boot and has no idea what his injury is. I wouldn’t get too excited because these days the walking boot is used quite a bit to relieve any sort of strain on a foot injury and speed healing.

-Speaking of Foot Injuries: The Ravens medical staff (as of this morning) wasn’t sure if LAMAR! had regular sprainage or (oh no) high ankle sprainage. The latter would of course would be very bad news.

-All of the Fins rb’s are Covided! If things remain the same you could see a backfield of has-beens Lamar Miller and Duke Johnson or noobie Gerrid Doaks.

To The Game!

Rams/Cards:

-Thank goodness Arizonny is home for this big tilt, right? Thing is, they’re 3-2 there and undefeated on the road. Must be the humidity.

-Rams went all-in and grabbed Von Miller and promptly gave up an average of almost 30 points in the month of November. You would think there’s just too much talent along the line and at linebacker and they’ll get it figured out.

-Sony Michel, it’s your time to shine. What do the Cards two losses and two closest wins have in common? That would be getting steamrolled by the opponent’s run game. Average yards given up have been 166 in those tilts. Not better news-they give up an average of 4.7 yards per play on the ground which is the 2nd-worst in the league. Sounds like a fatal playoff flaw to me.

-To pull this one out Stafford has to avoid turnovers-he has a 23-3 TD/INT number in the Rams wins.

Go ahead and type. You know you want to.

WR bumps into DB: Great route running!
DB glances a piece of thread hanging from WR’s jersey: PASS INTERFERENCE!

Thing of beauty when Stafford throws a deep ball.

I LOVE IT WHEN HE GOES BALL DEEP!

“Penalty flag on the play. Its gonna be third and short.”

No, it not. In what scenario would a penalty be declined?

1st timeout 44 seconds into the 2nd half. That’s promising.

Hopefully Deandre Hopkins can get some more catches and a TD!!
Need the fantasy football pts!!!
That would be Rocking!!!

I’ve switched over at half time to the Liga MX Women’s semifinal and it’s a PACKED house in Monterrey for Tigres.

That’s awesome!

Tigres won 4-0, btw.

Yup. It gives me flashbacks to pre-internet times and only being limited to the same three or four football teams a week.

When Stafford limps, I wonder if it’s injury or gout.

Going to tuck into one of the Snaxx Balls sent me it says Exceso Colorias and Exeso Sodio, that means extra awesome right?

Probably! Mmm, fried salt

That’s a guaranteed visit from the MSG Fairy, amigo.

I don’t mind Tirico so my rage is aimed directly at the same 5 damn commercials we get in Canadia. I need to find a Mexican feed just for the commercials.

The Arizona Coyotes are still a thing?

The only reason I know that the Arizona Coyotes are an NHL team is because I saw them play against the Kings one time at the Staples Center.

I’m picturing actual coyotes trying to ice skate and it is hilarious

Well, they can’t pay the players, so they have to hunt and gather their food.

The more painting I get done, the more I realize how little care or effort the shitty professional painters put in. Today I painted behind the radiators, where they didn’t bother to paint. How did I accomplish this epic task? I WENT TO THE HARDWARE STORE AND BOUGHT A MINI ROLLER FOR $3, THEN DIPPED IT IN PAINT AND MOVED IT UP AND DOWN ON THE WALL.

hippofant

whoa whoa whoa, I need you to go over that again, not all of us here are doktors.

litre_cola

Whoa whoa whoa, you should have called a boiler professional.

litre_cola

No need to be JaMichal Hasty with home renos.

Gumbygirl

Assuming we end up closing on this condo, there is an aggressively green wall in the main room that needs to become a soothing blue, so I joined Nextdoor to get recs for painters. What a fucking cesspit. I thought my neighborhood in Birmingham was petty and ridiculous. Pikers compared to the desert folk!

Doktor Zymm

Now I am curious what shade of green that is. Lime green? Kelly green? I am using a nice pastel green shade called ‘eucalyptus’ in my living and dining rooms, with a darker green called ‘chrome green’ (because it’s that green on vintage cars) as an accent color. Sky blue in the bedroom, and probably the foyer as well since I have a lot left after painting the bedroom

Gumbygirl

Kermit the frog green. The main bedroom is green too, but a much calmer shade. The second bedroom is a nice sky blue. I love color, but not the kind that will give you a migraine!

Gumbygirl

* Kermit the Frog with a touch of jaundice. It’s bad.

Doktor Zymm

Also, good luck on closing!

Recovery Whiskey

Shoulda run it

LemonJello

Sudden change? What’s ol’Fatty Sackford gonna do with this?

Horatio Cornblower

I need Kupp and Gay to combine for less than .04 of a point to win this week.

Yahoo has given this the traditional 1% chance of happening.

Doktor Zymm

I need the Rams D to score almost 40 points to win in Freezer Vodka league, also the 1% chance.

litre_cola

No win for you, then I play the Weaselo in the playoffs.

Congrats on being the only living thing in your house not leaking!

Thanks! I looked around, cleaned up 2 messes and then went and smoked a bowl.

That’s a solid immune system!

Years ago, I was looking in the local (Charleston, I think) paper at the tv listings. I decided not to watch “Microwave Dog Training.”

I’m more impressed by offensive linemen after retirement. It’s like the fat melts away but the muscles stick around for a while.
