Your Sunday Night NFL Football Open Thread

To The Game!

Bears/Packers:

-God, I love Qaron’s predictability so much! That look of utter disdain on his face when Watkins dropped that perfectly-thrown deep pass? Perfection.

-Tis no wonder that Lafleur noted that he’d like to get the ball into the hands of Jones and Dillon more often. I mean, what other choice does he have?

-Actually, he just might have Lazard back tonight. He’s the big (6’5″, 230) sure-handed, competent wr desperately needed right now. I’m sure Rodgers very much appreciates his mere 2(!) drops on 60 targets last year.

-Chicago’s D should be able to exert some pressure though. Defensive end Quinn had 18 1/2 sacks last year (3 vs. the Pack) and rookie Dominique Robinson had 1 1/2 last week. In addition, the Vikes had 4 sacks in their week one win.

-Montgomery is still the go-to back over Herbert, out-carrying him 17 to 9 but his 1.5 ypc vs Herbert’s 5 should give Eberflus some second thoughts.

-That Eberflus fella is up against it. Despite being one of only 5 Bears coaches to win his first game, Chicago is 2-12 in their last 14 meetings in Lambeau. And the Pack was the only team to go undefeated at home last year. (though they lost that playoff game, like they always do during Qaron’s reign)

-Piling On: Green Bay has won their last 12 night games.

-Fields threw for less than 50% in the wind and rain and muck last week but came up big in the 2nd half with TD throws to Pettis and St. Brown when it mattered.

Enjoy tonight’s offering before the cold harsh reality of Monday morning crashes in.

So, apparently we’re making a 10 year jump on the next Dragons & Titties episode?

BugEyedBoo

That’s the word on the street.

Horatio Cornblower

Yes.

Which is good, because that dance sequence tonight lasted at least 8 of those years.

BugEyedBoo

No lie. “WTF is this?”

2Pack

Gotta go run, g’night y’all

kill his ass, melissa

Spur

Rodgers preying on the weak,

Beerguyrob

Who is the God of Reviews? Do they have a name? It should be Christy Canyon based on the number of times they keep watching the same clip.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I thought we had come up with a name, but if nobody remembers what it was that means it wasn’t good enough.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Ebert?

Spur

loved the shot of the rat drinking the blood

Beerguyrob

All the talk about Rodgers owning the Bears neglects the fact he’s only won one more Superb Owl than them in that time frame.

Gatoraids

well no one said owning the Bears is a wise investment

fleshwound_NPG

30 years
2 hall of fame asshole quarterbacks
1 super bowl apiece

he better not dick the dog again in january or we are gonna look back at this 30-year era as a comedy for green bay

SonOfSpam

Favre + Rodgers = Eli

The math checks out

Doktor Zymm

Ok, imma go read a book. If we happen to be living in the one universe among billions where the bears pull off some miracle last minute comeback I will watch the highlights tomorrow

Spur

Weddings are always troubles

BugEyedBoo

Pro tip – don’t get on Cristan Cole’s bad side.

Spur

yeah, dont gloat to him

BugEyedBoo

Glad that happened, because I was starting to get bored. It was getting a little too Masterpiece Theater/Downton Abbey. “The Queen wore green!” Then Cole livens things up when he loses his temper and beats that guy’s face into Hamburger a’la Clegane.

I’m still not real sure why he went off on Ser Bottom or whoever he was. Already in a bad mood I guess.

Spur

Its a wedding. Something always comes up

BugEyedBoo

I watched that little comment piece afterwards, and the showrunner pointed out that Game of Thrones weddings have a history. Although IIRC, Tyrion and Sansa’s wedding didn’t go off the rails, nor did Tommen and Margaery’s.

(Had to look that up, fuckin’ GRRM and those mangled names)

ballsofsteelandfury

“Ser Bottom” is fucking great!

BugEyedBoo

This is me watching a series for the first twenty or so episodes:

Brocky

My dad was saying the same thing, asking: is someone gonna die this episode?

fleshwound_NPG

if he really is the bears owner he really is a bad owner, the bears suck

yet another bears owner that needs to die very soon

Spur

Paramores are plenty in Westoros

Redshirt

This drive, I call it a Titanic VHS tape because they are pausing and replaying scenes over and over again.

Gatoraids

Zapruder the head ref ,Back and to the Left

herodotus450

This? This game is what you were all waiting 9 months for? Pathetic.

Doktor Zymm

I appreciate the effort the effort of whatever minor members of the DFO pantheon are trying to keep this game interesting

Redshirt

The God of Reviews is working their ass off on this drive alone.

fleshwound_NPG

is every other off coordinator a dipshit

shotgun dive?!

Gatoraids

Hackett is wondering why they didnt do a shotgun delayed dive

King Hippo

at least they burned lots of the clock, I think we all want to sleep

Gatoraids

they are big on hibernation

fleshwound_NPG

fleshwound_NPG

ok short but the play was dead
