Welp, I guess the Fins are sorta for real-I’ll say it again, I really like Nerd Coach’s play-calling. Houston jumped out to an early lead and couldn’t hold on. (I’m sensing a pattern) I’ll stop right now because I don’t want to step on Hippo’s hooves.
To The Game!
Niners/Broncos:
-The newly-configured Denver O-brought to you by Wilson-is giving the team 16 (exactly 16! No more, no less) points a game so far this year. I was told there would be a transition involved but I figured it would be positive. Will they reach 18? Perhaps 20 tonight? Baby steps.
-The running game is a mixed bag-both Javonte and Melvin are averaging 5+ ypc but don’t have a TD between them. You’d think that drought would end tonight.
-Brittle Kittle is finally back!
-Called It! Some fella by the name of Jerry Rosburg-a former Ravens assistant head coach-was in the building by Wednesday last week. His role is to advise Hackett with in-game decisions and provide him with ‘guidance’ and ‘not fucking up’ simple decisions, I’m guessing.
-Hackett has committed himself to improving which is wonderful because it seems as though there is a chasm he has to cross.
-Great Find? Rook 4th round cb Damarri Mathis was pressed into action last week when Surtain suffered an injury. He was graded out at 77.9 by the fine folks over at PFF, garnering a top 5 freshman score for week 2.
-Curious Prop Bet Opportunity: Deebo’s longest reception has been placed at 22.5 yards. He exceeded that number 20 times last year and Jimmy G. unloaded a few deep throws last week. In addition, going back to the beginning of last year the Broncos have allowed a catch of 23+ yards in all but one tilt. Sounds like money.
Do your thingy.
We would also accept the coolest 7-7 Draw ever!
This is something we can all root for!
YOU CAN DUNCE IF YOU WANT TO
I’ve never been less happy about a safety, even in a Super Bowl.
Technically a two-possession game because we’ll have to give the ball back to the Niners to score again.
The Orlovsky!
a dan orlovsky!
Garropolo just went full Orlovsky! You never go full Orlovsky!!
WE CAN HAS ORLOVSKY!!!!
Woo! SUCH A SAFE DAY!
3 safeties and this one is a winner!
There’s one!
N’yello. Was out of action today (GAMBLOR! & NFL viewing) due to a long distance makeup game in Roanoke for my son’s travel soccer team. Brutal scheduling. 4:00 start on a Sunday afternoon 2.5 hours from home, delayed 45 minutes due to rain. And this is not the first time this organization has shown no respect for our club or our family responsibilities outside of travel soccer. Which is why it was glorious to watch our boys pummel these rich pricks to the tune of a 10-1 drubbing. Just got home and checked the scores. I HAVE QUESTIONS! Jaguars good? Someone make the Colts/Chiefs result make sense to me. And how in the FUCKING WORLD could the dolphins put Tua back in that game? How fucked up is the entire league receiving a fine warning because Tom Brady is a petulant little asshole who smashes tablets? And finally, will Brett Farve be rightly stripped of his HOF credentials for the latest revelations that he intended to steal EVEN MORE welfare money from impoverished Mississippians to build another sporting facility at his alma mater?
These and many(?) more questions may be answered* in tomorrow’s Hippo Thoughts!
*in some form or other
Congrats to your son and his team! Travel soccer for kids in school always seemed like a lot, kudos for making it work.
I only caught bits and pieces of today’s surprises and eagerly await the revelations in tomorrow’s Hippo Thoughts.
Good win. Good commitment. Good parenting.
Maestro and I are engaging in a Toilet Bowl bowl for last place in Freezer Vodka. Could use a long strike from Wilson to Courtlandia any time now.
Punters are en fuego this evening.
I have obtained a canister of strong ale and some fancy nuts before trekking back to my room where I will watch the rest of the game in astoundingly low definition. I also had to interrupt a shitty Luxor hype video and find the channel on a remote that doesn’t have a guide button. I will navigate back to ground level to redeem my massive $8.50 windfall tomorrow morning
thursday night ass great punting game of football tonight
Gentlemen.
did another hellthread consume another twitter account
It’s a very flimsy report, I expect to be back.
That rumor was Snoped some time ago.
The Denver fans react reasonably to their “offense”
Has a head coach ever been fired during a game?
Only the ones who truly couldn’t Hackett.
That’s right Javonte, lose 2 yards and get me that sweet .5 points!
“AAYYYYY IT’S-A ME,THE OTHER BOSA AND I DINNA TRIP-A NOBODY! I’M WALKING ‘ERE!”
dishwasher loaded in time for Q3 kickoff, just right for running overnight. If only we could get first downs on multiple series this half!
I guess this is a follow-up, albeit, rhetorical, question:
How fucking terrible is Urban Meyer?
i cant quite put my finger on it
Yes.
Drinking one of these, courtesy of the good Makeitsnow.
At 11.2%, I believe I’ll mix in some chips.
“What kind of chips?”
-Andy Reid and Ezekiel Elliot,in unison
I hope you love this as much as I do (alot).
Tastes great and I already feel the buzz.
So “yes”
I was out of the FOOBAWL loop today
/dodges thrown rotten fruit
when does the AFC West get… uh, good?
the SWAG is all back in DUUUUVVVVVAAAALLLLL
FATALITY
Now my male menopause is acting up. Should I go bak to the pill bottle? It’s healthy to listen to your body
ah, good old Garret Holds
So glad the Jones boys decided to get cute with Randy Gregory’s contract. It’s be terrible to have him on a line with Lawrance and Parsons.
Who they dole out huge contracts to seem to be decided by several rolls of a 20 sided die.
How is that not a safety?
They didn’t leave their friends behind?
I guess the friends do dance, sadly.
Dueling punt coverage!
So good! DOWN EVERYTHING INSIDE THE 2!
Wow, Russell Wilson got real bad, real fast didn’t he?
The nanobubbles just have to altitude adjust, it’s till good it’s still good!!
one of the teams he wanted to be traded to was the bears and that cursed his quarterbacking ability
I think he sold out.
Needs to go live in a cabin and train to box a Russian who just killed a guy you know. Only then will Russ once again…cook.
Apparently the Niners D watched the Eagles game earlier today and took the sack total as a personal challenge
HATE the Drake
If you ever have the chance to throw a fish at him you could Hake the Drake
If you assaulted him with a garden implement, you could Break a Rake on Drake.
If you made an exact replica of him out of playdough, you could Fake the Drake.
Carve a wooden cross and you can stake the Drake!
Desperation Donks woo, wow
Did Deebo just roll an ankle? Looks much less ded and not hed ded thankfully
That doesn’t seem too different from challenging a spot. Maybe higher EV though just because of the much higher yardage at stake though
Well, this is disconcerting: I need 12 points from Javonte Williams to win tonight, but Javonte went to North Carolina, so there’s no way he can count that high.
“Just the tip?”
nothing can make a carolla crossover suv cool
This upcoming Javonte Williams 99+ yard run for a TD will surely win me my FF game.
Okay, I am a sucker for plays like that to ground it in the 1
Shit, Deebo don’t look good. Do you think I should send him the $8.50?
nah, he can just make a 5th Friday movie
Deebo deedo?
if deebo is dead the final score is 7-3
There Will Be Punts
Deebo just made me $8.50!
And he is injured
I could retire on that! – Jim T., Santa Clara railyard
Kid pitching for the Red Sox tonight is the poster child for a pitch clock. Jesus Christ he takes forever.
shutout avoided!!!
And in the first half too!
go ahead and crown our ass!!!!

“I’ll give Bill Belichek her phone number. That’s the best revenge on a mom.”
Low density FG!
How neat would it be if the NFL took a page from Sonic the Hedgehog and had rings fly out whenever a QB was sacked
You kinda saw that happen here.
