Your Second NFL Sunday Afternoon Football Open Thread

To The Games!

Bengals/Broncos:

This is a killer for the team that gets the L. Both sqaudoos sit at 7-6 but are sitting just outside of a wild card slot. With the Browns being decimated by Covid (and Mullens at qb) and potentially losing to Las Vegas on tomorrow, (5pm statr time, baby!) Cincy can make up some badly-needed ground or otherwise their fate falls into everyone else’s hands. Denver needs this to pull even with the Chargers and Colts. The defense that has given up the least amount of points in the AFC (and it isn’t even close) will have to step up yet again.

Falcons/Niners:

Maybe your league winner is George Kittle? The Brittle Kittle has posted back-to-back 150 yard receiving games! This may be related to Deebo doing his very best Cordarelle Patterson imitation by running in 5 TD’s in the last 4 games. Maybe he’s a league winner? He best keep the ‘wr’ position next to his name though because we all know what happens to Niner rb’s once they see any kind of action.

Packers/Ravens:

So there’s a chance? Lamar hasn’t been completely ruled out for this game-just mostly. Given that he has a bone bruise on his ankle, no doubt we’ll be treated to the qb stylings of Tyler Huntley, the guy whose name reminds me of one of those characters on Nickelodeon that I didn’t watch when my kids were kids. The Ravens still sit atop their division despite a two game losing slide. Green Bay is also all kinds of beaten up but the trio of Adams, Jones and Dillon should be enough to turn the trick here.

Last thread, like, evar?

Better fucking not be, not sure what I’d do without all yallz

I expect a full breakdown of that Baltimore extra point attempt tomorrow morning on Hippo Thoughts.

King Hippo

my problem is that, like with poker, or when I used to do algebra…I don’t really know how to show my work or how I arrive at me conclusions. I’m more “maths intuitive” than a hard calculator.

LemonJello

Jeebus. Just saw Teddy B’s Ludendorff Bridge impersonation. Brutal.

In 10 years?

Mr. Ayo

Oh gosh no. The CTE will have fully set in by then.

Don T

JAJAJAJAJAJ
cabrn

King Hippo

The season’s over, so I hope they don’t rush him back. But he’s a great dude and really glad he’s reasonably ok. Because he was OUT.

LemonJello

“Fine” as in the grade of paste they’ll be processing that Bronco into shortly.

King Hippo

Thank goodness I no make a #ShameBet with Magical Pony. I don’t think Donks have won any potential Clubhpuse Derby matchups. I still owe Litre for the Philly game.

King Hippo

I will try to hang in there with the TV muted late, but Jeebus it gon’ be hard.

Gumbygirl

Lol, I’m awaiting moderation because I called Harbaugh an ultramaroon!

Doktor Zymm

I assume the U Chicago Maroons took offense and fund the moderator bot

Gumbygirl

If there was no way Cleveland or Cincinnati could catch them, i could see doing that as a way to show your team you 100% believe in them, but that is not the case. What an ultramaroon!

ballsofsteelandfury

That was the stupidest head coachng decision I’ve ever seen. There was no reason not to go to OT.

Don T

I disagree. Andrews excels in that area in the corner of the end zone that measures 8” x 8”

ballsofsteelandfury

Even if you make it, you’re only up 1 and Rodgers only needs a FG. And he’s got 42 seconds.

It’s not like the defense was gassed.

King Hippo

Maybe not gassed, but playing guys off the street in the secondary. It was bizarre that GB took their foot off the gas like they did.

NotShogunButShogun

The aristocrats‽

Doktor Zymm

It would be a fantastic decision if this was a pre-season game! Maybe Harbs has become unmoored in time?

Gumbygirl

What the actual fuck is Harbaugh doing?

Redshirt

No faith in their amazing kicker?

Redshirt

That’ll do, Qaron. That’ll do.

Mr. Ayo

Tucker needs to demand a trade to a team that will actually use him.

Doktor Zymm

Counterpoint- maybe he likes getting game checks for sitting on his patootie

Horatio Cornblower

I love Baltimore going for it there, but goddamn what a terrible play.

ballsofsteelandfury

It’s a horrible idea. There are 42 seconds left.

King Hippo

I’d say the maximum time needs to be around 25 seconds. More than that, you have to kick it because of the odds GB still gets a FG (if they don’t have to worry about turning the ball over) are reasonably decent otherwise.

With the secondary BAL has, the odds of a GB TD when they first get the ball in OT is almost 100%. So, your OT victory route is basically “must win toss and score TD on said drive.”

Horatio Cornblower

Baltimore is not beating Green Bay in OT, and Harbaugh knows it.

Doktor Zymm

“Let’s do exactly what they expect us to do, they’ll never see it coming!”

ballsofsteelandfury

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT????

Game Time Decision

It’s like the Packers have nevar heard that QBs are allowed to run with the ball
