Your “There’s Gonna Be A Showdown” Thursday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Do you like it when people fling things? Whether it be insults, frisbees, boogers or footballs, I’m in. And speaking of, we’ve got the latter happening ce soirBut first, one item caught my attention today.

Newsy Notes:

-It seems that the NFL and the Bundesliga will be collaborators, err, partners in some sort of joint venture. Will it take long for Goodell to try to poach all the best minds in the league under the guise of Operation Buroklammer? Time will tell. Rog said, “The Bundesliga has long been regarded as the leading league in Germany…” Officials overseeing the Deutsche Einhockey Liga were less than amused at the shade that was thrown.

To The Game!

Bolts/Chiefs:

-K.C. kicker Butker and wr Keenan Allen are no-shows tonight and (very importantly) Chargers cb J.C. Jackson is a game-timer.

-Are we falling for DeAndre Carter’s showing last week? The dude is a 29 yr. old journeyman on his 9th(!) team (and he sat out a year) and simply caught a Raiders D by surprise. I guess we should admire his sticktoitiveness.

-Might Be Related To The Above: Do I have the balls to insert Josh Palmer into my fantasy lineup? I DO NOT.

-I guess you guys/gals swimming in Canada’s nutsack have Amazon Prime as the provider for this tilt. Me? I just turn the channel to TSN like I’ve been doing for a dozen years or so.

-The Stat Monkey Rises: The Chiefs are 13-3 in the last 16 although the Bolts have won 2 of the last three. The O/U is 54 and K.C. is favoured by 4.

-The Chiefs have yakked about a ‘balanced offense’ without Tyreek in the fold but in reality JuJu and Kelce gobbled up the majority of the catches. Meanwhile, Herbert was throwing to 11 different fellas last week including un-household names such as Tre McKitty and Zander Horvath.

Potential Bolts Stratergery: Putting Derwin James on Kelce-when he was on him the latter had 5 catches for 68 yards and zero TD’s. When Derwin rotated away or was hurt the tight end went for 12 catches, 227 yards and 2 TD’s.

-Say a prayer for Chiefs right tackle Andrew Wylie-he’ll be getting a fat dose of Joey Bosa or Khalil Mack or both on a rotating basis. He’s over-matched.

She should be a great tilt. Enjoy.

While watching the last episode of Welcome to Wrexham, I know the outcome of the game already. Yet, it still hits the same way.

Lots of feelings all laid out on the table.

Herbert is visibly hurt. The coach just said he’s fine. If I were the Herbert, I’d be pissed. He ain’t fine. Fuck. Get that man to the hospital and make sure he didn’t tear anything. The x-ray will only show so much.

That coach is an asshole. Fuck him. Fuck Rivers, even if he isn’t playing anymore. Fuck the Way-Northern San Diego Superchargers.

My phone is dying, goodnight, my Yoders!

Fitzmagic on the set to celebrate KC. That’s the kind of winning environment we need to see in KC.

Well, the good news is that the stream held up the whole way through the game. I guess?

Hopefully this is another season where the Chiefs have all kinds of bounces go their way during the regular season, and then it blows up on them in the playoffs.

I will be leaving a bag that will be on fire on your porch. Feel free to stomp out the fire with your nicest shoes.

Stoma Fuckers scored less than 30 points with three players, including the QB position. Big bullet dodged but there’s still a lot of football to be played.

Woo, made it here just in time to watch the last play! Well goodnight y’all!

Did Al Michaels actually mull over on taking an onside kick? Does he not know how many time outs the Chargers don’t have?

Why does Amazon Night Football’s music sound like a 1980’s sitcom theme song?

I don’t think Herbert is human.

“Herbert can’t throw.”

Great analysis, Al.

I see the Chargers are in mid-season form.
