Your Thursday Night NFL Football Game Open Thread

Lookit that white helmet! So much blather about so little. Has Kenny Anderson weighed in yet? What is Carl Pickens’ take? Is there nothing else going on in Cincy? That may very well be rhetorical.

Newsy Notes:

-Brett is just a good old boyshyster. I did love coming across the transcript whereby Favre said something like, “This can’t possibly come back and bite me on the ass, right?” After being assured that he was in the clear he jumped up and clicked his heels (in my imagination) and replied, “Well golly-be, let’s do this thing then!”.

-Shoutout to Myles Garrett’s shoutout to Ralph Nader. According to the Highway Patrol, our hero was traveling at an “unsafe (at any) speed”.

-Much Ado About Ian: Actually, no. The Chiefs-Bucs tilt will go on as scheduled in The Bay.

To The Game!

Fins/Bengali’s:

-Tua is listed as questionable but I heard that drugs are readily available for injection in NFL locker rooms for anyone that wants them. Shhh…

-I’ve mentioned before that I do love the cut of McDaniel’s jib. He’s made such a big impression on me that I’ve referred to him as “Mike McDonald” in previous posts.

-Waddle was invisible the first game of the year but has come on like gangbusters since then. After two back-to-back 100 yard affairs, he leads the team in total yards at 321.

-Grumblelord Cracks a Smile: The Fins used U of Cincy’s field for a walkthrough which was promptly taped and then thrown on Twitter.

-Burrow has had his struggles but his passer rating keeps climbing-from a low of 61.7 in week one, he’s posted 89.9 and 114.9 in the weeks following-playing the Jets helped.

-Miami’s O is fine and dandy but that D needs some “refining” shall we say? It’s giving up 413 yards per which is good for #2 (heh) in the league.

Bathe in the football.

Mr. Ayo

And neck injuries? He should be out for the season.

Gatoraids

TNF still a better injury rate than the average fulfillment center

Holy shit, wikipedia article already updated to include Tua in notable examples of fencing response

I don’t think he was conscious on the stretcher.

Mr. Ayo

I think at this point, Tua won’t remember anything since the first half of last week’s game.

This will just be a week or two of nothing in his memories.

King Hippo

Just like it NEVER EVEN HAPPENED!

Gumbygirl

Get him used to the idea of early-onset dementia.

Gatoraids

Dolphins medical chief musta came over from the Redacteds

Gatoraids

Huh. It’s almost as if Tua was rushed back from an obvious back injury concussion or something.

King Hippo

yeah, the inquest on this ain’t gonna be pretty. Everyone will feign Very Concerned for at least a week or two

Senor Weaselo

That’s same-day delivery for ya!

Doktor Zymm

For fuck’s sake, he shouldn’t be in. One of these days there’s going to be a class-action lawsuit against the NFL for shit like this.

Mr. Ayo

Oh yes, please, more slo-mo replays of Tua dying.

King Hippo

Well, they sure ’nuff listened!

Doktor Zymm

I’m pretty sure most physical therapists recommend the exact opposite of doing that for a bum back. Also bum neck, bum brain, etc.

King Hippo

nah, his bak just tightened up a little

Mr. Ayo

That’s quite the back re-injury!

King Hippo

I don’t think Tua’s fingers supposed to go like that

Doktor Zymm

Kinda hope it is a pain reaction and not a neurological one

Brocky

It looks like the fencing response.

I’ll never forget the image of jahvid best doing it during a college game

My brief perusal of wikipedia confirms your diagnosis. I don’t want to keep watching this game.

That’s actually how you play a high G on a alto sax.

whoever came up with this “Funderstruck” ad campaign should have all their fingernails and toenails yanked out

Unrelated, I saw this and thought of you

I legitimately struggle to think of another nfl coach who has looked less like what you expect a coach to look like than Mike McDaniel.

Maybe Brian billick idk

How many players on the LOLFins have threatened to stuff Mike McDaniel into a locker?

King Hippo

That’s why he wrote that “Sweet Freedom” song!

Gatoraids

definitely has to bring alot of lunch money everyday

Gatoraids

NFL forced Yung McDaniel to turn out his mom to get in the league

Gatoraids

though only real surprise that a story of coach introducing their mom to another coach didnt i involve Belicheck

Brocky

Somewhere, Darth hoodie has felt a disturbance

herodotus450

Marat’s no Murat, though.

Doktor Zymm

Who has two thumbs and keeps forgetting when TNF starts? THIS GAL!

WCS

Someone nearby farted discreetly, and the smell is so overwhelmingly bad I’m not mad, I’m impressed.

I want to shake this person’s hand, while simultaneously conducting a seance for their gastrointestinal tract.

King Hippo

eventually, Tua throwing right to the defenders is gonna come back to haunt

Gatoraids

Tua really missing out on the color contrast

I know I’m a little late, but who decided a “white out” in a city with a history of race riots every decade or so was a good idea?

Gatoraids

Big Bic

herodotus450

“White Out” would be a good nickname for a white cornerback, if there ever is another one.

herodotus450

Because he covers everything up, you see

We should have recruited that guy! – Joe Paterno, from Hades

The Heiress saw Mike McDaniels and said “Cool. He looks like a Silicon Valley character.” I want that on 🔂 for future Alzheimer fugues.

King Hippo

If you told him that a vodka tonic counts as a full serving of vegetables, he’d keel over immediately.

I’m still shocked he hasn’t yet shuffled off the mortal coil.

I mean, imagine getting asked to be HIS pallbearer. I’d never walk upright again.
