Your “Saturday Night’s Alright For… Watching” NFL Football Open Thread

We’ve reached the part of the sked where some Saturday games are played and that’s just fine with me. At the rate things are going, I’d like to see a triple header a week from now and maybe a midnight game as well. Call it The Full Moon Bowl. Lean into the shit, NFL, just blow it all the fuck up-maybe 24 straight hours of football the last Friday of the regular season? How ’bout it? I’m in!

Some Thoughts/Updates:

-I’m glad to read that Chargers tight end Parham is (relatively) fine-t’was a wee bit scary seeing his lights go out live.

-There’s another two-timing coach in the NFL! Ok, maybe I should be more specific about Sean Payton: he’s gotten Covid for a second time.

-TEAM, in desperate need of someone, anyone, to play on the defensive side of the ball on Sunday(?), Monday(?), Tuesday(?) has just lifted two difference makers in Allen and Sweat from the Covid list. Surely it’s just sweet timing but one must always give the side eye to Washington when circumstances appear a bit serendipitous.

To The Game!

Pats/Colts:

-I thought I had a league winner in rb Taylor but Old Bill is going to take him out of this game, isn’t he? The dude has been averaging 140 yards from scrimmage so even if he’s slowed down a bit he should get 100 and a TD, right?

-Speaking of being taken out of a game, Macaroon Jones has been taking quite the ribbing for tossing a mere 3 passes in the Windy Bowl last week vs Buffalo. Folks might want to be aware that in the three games previous he had a 6:1 TD/INT number, a 79% completion average and (somehow) an 8.8 ypa.

-Damien is out tonight so rook Rhamondre (Woo, spelled it right without even looking) gets the rock. Earlier in the year he got the “Robinson Treatment” in that he was benched for fumbling but he’s worked his way back into the good graces of The Hoodie.

-As opposed to the Pats stifling D the Colts are a bit up and down. Over the last 10 games they’ve held 6 opponents to under 20 points but in the other 4 the other team has gone for 30+.

So yesterday was the tenth anniversary of my college graduation.

Meaning today was the tenth anniversary of my dad taking me to the the colts game because they were so much cheaper than bears tickets. It was the suck for luck season. I went in the hope that the 0-10 colts would lose to the titans.

And they won.

So three things.

1. I’m bad luck at sports games. I’ve been to two bears games and they lost, been to 2 cubs games and they lost, been to two white Sox games and they lost, my one “victory” was seeing the bulls beat the pacers in 2004 two weeks after the malice in the palace

2. Holy fuck am I old, and so are any other hold overs from the old site

3. There’s a 1/8 chance I miss the fantasy playoffs. That’s looking to be the most likely scenario so far

SUDDEN MOMENTUM CHANGE!!!

Wentz: Jesus take the wheel!

McCourty Pats Defense snags the INT
THATS ROCKINGGGG

Horatio Cornblower

That should definitely go as a “Pats Defense INT”, since most of them were within 5 yards of the ball.

Horatio Cornblower

Sorry, sorry, upon further review I did a disservice to Wentz.

He threw that ball into triple coverage.

LemonJello

Wentz wentzing it up. Chucklefuck.

LemonJello

THIS GUY HUNTER HENRY, I CALL HIM SANTA ANITA RACETRACK BECAUSE HE’S KILLING THESE COLTS!

Banner this.

Even if I am a fan of two muffs a day.

Doktor Zymm

DRAGA! DRAGA!

TheRevanchist

Ref got shoved to the ground. Fucking fantastic!

Horatio Cornblower

ECW! ECW! ECW!

Horatio Cornblower

Wentz is going to do his level best to put the Patriots back in this.

litre_cola

Wentz on a draw seems quite dumb given he is as brittle as he is religious.

Horatio Cornblower

He’s also as dumb as he is brittle and religious, so he’s not going to stop doing it, nor will he stop making ill-advised passes.

Horatio Cornblower

Mac Jones is seeing so many ghosts he thinks he’s back in Alabama on a Friday night.

Because ghosts wear white sheets, you see.

Um, that was a first down.

Horatio Cornblower

He caught the ball for a first down, but then his own momentum took him back past the marker and the Clots got him before he could get back.

Also it’s the Patriots, so

This is the point in the season where everyone starts tripping over their own dicks and the Chiefs waltz their way to the #1 seed.

Mr. Ayo

More like Goodgley.

LemonJello

THERE’S the Dakota Jeebus we are used to.

Gumbygirl

Christ you guys are sharing a brain fo sho! What’s it like in Horatio’s Head?

LemonJello

Roomier than I imagined.

Horatio Cornblower

Well, it’s pretty well known that I have a locker to keep most of my stuff in.

Horatio Cornblower

It’s a dark place, and full of puppets.

Horatio Cornblower

I do like, however, that Wentz fucked up and like 5 of us immediately pounced.

Horatio Cornblower

There’s the dumbass Carson Wentz I recall from the NFC East.

King Hippo

You can just see Reich’s “you’re up three scores at home, throw it away dipshit” thought bubble.

That’s what happens when you don’t run 7/8 plays

FAHCK!!! FAHCK!!! NAWT FAYUH!! THEY’AH NAWT SUPPOS’D TO CATCH OWAH BALLS!!!

The beer is going down like water tonight, so I’m taking a water break.

Hope Kevin Garnett notes this with an approving hard stare.

Game Time Decision

Horatio Cornblower

Does that mean he’s doing the DFO Comments of the Week this week? I’m sure GTD could use a break.

We should have FITBAW for every Christmas. Throw the adults a bone for surviving the morning.

Horatio Cornblower

My sister has commandeered Xmas this year, requiring me to drive 2 hours each way. She will have the football game on, or I will turn around and leave.

King Hippo

my sister did the same with Xmas (even though I am the oldest), but I just started opting out.

Horatio Cornblower

She’s using a dying dog as an excuse this year, so this one’s a freebie.

Spur

That Humps vs Cards game looks good too.

BOOOOOO

That’s their knife subsidiary.

Horatio Cornblower

$10 says his middle name is either Winchester or Remington

LemonJello

Interesting strategy of letting the Clots run all over your D so they’re tired in the 2nd half. Let’s see how that works out for the P*ts.

King Hippo

Jakobi Meyers should have a website, and call it The Jakobin

Doktor Zymm

Instead of the NFLPA he can join the Industrious Recivers of the gRumblelord (IRR), aka the Robblies

Pats down 17-0
That’s not Rocking…
Mac and co gotta get some pts before halftime 😬

So far, Spam’s Mahomes is just edging my Rhamondre by the narrowest 30.6-1.6 margin.
