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.

Is that Goodell’s boy toy?

King Hippo

They both seem like bottoms to me. Would they just…inverse scissor?

Brocky

Why does it feel like anytime a man is disparagingly implied to be gay, it’s always taken a step further and their role in the relationship is guessed as well?

Horatio Cornblower

I would say because it’s a…race to the bottom.

Good scotchnaut call, leaving Laura Palmer on his bench.

I should watch Twin Peaks again. It was my kind of weird, and this time we don’t have to worry about Gumby passing a piss test. I’m willing to bet it’s better with a buzz.

To get everyone up to speed, tonight’s MARQUEE MATCHUP is Hippo’s Stoma Fuckers Untd against my Brick’s Left Foot.

I have no players going tonight while he has three.

Wager accordingly.

King Hippo

I’ve lost 8% win probability already

Brocky

Anyone have mahomes or helaire?

LemonJello

In my office league, I have CEH, and my opponent this week has Patty.

Dad: so are you still doing that dumb thing where you imagine God and all the players going to extreme lengths to screw over your fantasy team?

Me: I’m starting mahomes and two chiefs receivers while my opponent is starting Edward’s hel aire.

I imagine the chiefs kick returner taking the kickoff at the 20, then running back to his own one yard line to down it. Edward’s helaire comes in at the qb position in shotgun, takes the hike, throws a soft lob pass to a d-lineman who intentionally bats it back to him. None of the defenders try to tackle him as he take the ball 99 yards for the score, they all flash him a thumbs up as he gets points for the pass completion, the passing yards, the catch, the receiving yards, and the touchdown. They also let him do a two point conversion. When the chargers get the ball back they are allowed to take the ball all the way to the one yard line where they intentionally fumble allowing the chiefs to repeat the process as before.

By half time Edwards hellaire has set a nfl record for pass completions, passing yards, passing touchdowns, receptions, receiving yards, receiving yards and two point conversions in a single game. The camera pans over to the chiefs sideline where brocky’s receivers are in street clothes, then patrick mahomes comes in at the side of the frame wearing a towel on his head, flips the bird directly into the camera all while yelling “FUCK YOU BROCKY YOU LITTLE BITCH!”

*beat*

Dad: you know a simple “Yes” would have been okay

King Hippo

Was Mahomes gonna…..take a bath with State Farm guy?

Spur

***must not make Rodgers joke***

Horatio Cornblower

Are the Clips actually good-GOOD?

WCS

Wait until their inevitable 11-6 record misses the playoffs.

Mr. Ayo

It’s still early. And they’re still drenched in the Spanos stench.

Don T

You gotta adjust for Thursday. But yeah.

Gumbygirl

That MVS plays for the Chefs? I thought that was Hippospeak , lol!

King Hippo

He gets to play just not touch the damned ball

Spur

I hate being IT Support for the family. Shouldn’t the nephews be picking up this work?

If my dad asks the game is on Netflix, it was easier to explain then bringing up Prime and why he cant just change the channel

herodotus450

“Eh I dont know why the game won’t come on, I guess we’ll have to sit quietly and talk about our feelings instead”

Don T

“Yes, slights first. I’ll start.”

Where the fuck is asshat Collinsworth? I mean, this is an improvement.

fleshwound_NPG

chiefs fans: let us do the tomahawk chop and chant like the 90s atlanta braves

kc chiefs: *only wins one title like the 90s braves*

chiefs fans: our team is so good, why did they only win one super bowl…

King Hippo

Y’all think Mrs. Hardman just misheard the lyrics to that Peter Gabriel song about Steven Biko?

King Hippo

Think I will start MVS in money league and for Stoma Fuckers Utd.

Gumbygirl

Can someone translate this one? I’m stumped!

WCS

Forget it, he’s rolling.

litre_cola

Stoma FUckers Utd is his Fantasy team you see.

Gumbygirl

Aha! Who is MVS?

Gumbygirl

Ha, why do you think I don’t play!

Do I already hate the Prime broadcast? Yes. Will I watch anyway? Also yes. So long as picture quality holds.

Is there a more uncomfortable pre-game panel than this Amazon Thursday crew?

Gumbygirl

I don’t know, I like Fitz and Whitworth.

litre_cola

I also like Fitz.

LemonJello

It’s not a like/disklike issue. More like the vibe is one where tonight is their first time actually trying to interact with each other. Lot of deer in the headlights staring into the camera from what I’ve seen so far.

Gumbygirl

Yeah, it is kind of unnatural, but I guess time will help. They aren’t actively pissing me off, so yay?

LemonJello

Little victories and all that. I want to like Fitz, he seems to not take it all too seriously.

Gumbygirl

I need to roll a doob. Seems like a lot of work, for some reason. I’ll whine about it for awhile first, that should help.

That’s why my mom goes with gummies. No work, tastes good, wakes up tomorrow.

Horatio Cornblower

“Your Mom seems cool. Can I get her number?”

Gumbygirl

I get really grossed out if gummies are too weedy. It’s like drinking bongwater. I found a new kind I can tolerate, they’re sour, which helps. I normally don’t mind rolling one up, but I have shitty papers right now.

Don T

Use Bible paper. The Numbers book. The small type gives the ink for a smooth smolder IN HELL.

She’s coming back tonight, she just has a meeting.

She has enough faith in us that she can skip one meal without worrying.

Man, do we ever parent similar like.

I’m getting buffering problems on the Amazon feed. I think we’re in for a long night of tech problems.

Gatoraids

Also will be on several twitch channels like primevideo since amazon owns them

Beerguyrob

With Keenan Allen out, should I move Mecole Hardman off my bench?

Thanks; I’ll hang up & listen to your answer.

litre_cola

Never trust anyone with Me to start their name. Too self absorbed.

For those of you that feel like winning some DFS cash on the showdown tonight, Boris has his showdown advice up over on that other site.
