Your “Horsey vs. Horsey” Thursday Night NFL Football Open Thread

So, um, why is Denver getting another prime time game after they acquitted themselves so terribly just two weeks ago? Ours is not to wonder why, we should just watch and hope that the two strugglebacks under center somehow turn things around tonight. Vegas has only two other games that feature a lower over/under than this one. (one of them is the mandatory Giants/Packers London tilt. Gah.)

Newsy Notes:

-That delusional animal rights activist insists on keeping himself in the news by filing a police report regarding him getting clocked by Bobby Wagner after running onto the field last week. Can you do that if you’re still in concussion protocol? Perhaps he should go back to throwing red paint on heiresses wearing mink coats or whatever.

-Ever the situational contrarian, Qaron insists that he would like to stay in London longer. (preferably on the team’s shilling or pound or Euro, I’m guessing)

-Speaking of the game yet again, Tyrod is still concussed and will be travelling with the team. Meanwhile, Dimes was a limited participant in practice. We know how this thing will go-if Dimes can’t make it, Tyrod will be magically cleared late on Saturday afternoon. Actually, he’ll be cleared no matter what, in case Dimes re-injures himself during the game. I’m not cynical, you’re cynical for calling me cynical.

To The Game!

Colts/Broncs:

-Adjustment Problems? Matt Ryan was my sneaky pick to have a great year with a new team. Well, he’s turned the ball over 8 times and been sacked 15 times. That o-line is doing him no favors.

-His partner on the other side of the pasture was so glad to get away from a franchise that was run-first, had a lousy o-line and a good defense. So, thank beJezuz he ended up on a run-first team with a lousy o-line and a good defense.

-Both teams are without their flashy rb’s but Indy is also without a starting safety, linebacker and defensive end.

-Shortcake Backfield? Mighty mites Nyheim Hines (5’9″, a buck 95) and Phillip Lindsay (5’8″, 190) should have a great time running between the tackles tonight. Good luck and good night.

-The Broncos rb Gordo has 70% of the backfield to himself-one would think-despite fantasy dudes running to pick up Mike Boone. The latter failed to pick up a handful of blitzes and dropped two easy passes when he was called into action last week. If Gordo continues to fumble the ball it will be good old Latavius Murray (inactive tonight) that will be picking up the slack. (and the blitzes)

Do that thing with your digits.

Just slammed my penis in a splintery wooden door, better than this game

If Melvin Gordon carried a baby in Texas someone would call it in and get 10k.

Horatio Cornblower

Fucking banner this man.

Next week is Redacteds v Bears. Oof.

We’ve got a big local liquor store by that name so this is probably real.

King Hippo

That FUMBRE still counts in me soiled underpants

makeitsnowondem

We are somehow ruling that handoff to Gordon an incomplete pass.

clint greasewood

Would you trust Melvin Gordon to hold a new born?

makeitsnowondem

How new? I gotta check the born-on date.

Both coaches should be forced to undergo concussion protocol

in an epic dressdown of my son today, i pulled the “You owe them” card, i.e., you owe the people who ame before you for the sufcces we all enjoy today.

Christ, I am an 87 year old Italian man. where’s my homemade wine?

Gumbygirl

Man, I knew some old guys who could make that Dago Red. And quite a few who could not, but nobody was brave enough to tell them!

jjfozz

My grandfather made blackbeery wine and dandelion wine, you have got to be desperate to get fucked up to do that. he would give me glasses of blackerry wine nd it was rock me to sleep, sandman

Dunstan

I have had many good homebrewed beers (and even made a few decent ones myself), but I have never had decent homemade wine.

Gumbygirl

I have (see above old Italian guys) but it’s most likely to be rough stuff. Every once in awhile, there was a Guido with a gift.

Gumbygirl

What we need is some good music, to soothe the pain of this Thursday, Thursday game.

I’ve walked in on my parents before, too.

I love having a defensing unit

Because your offense looks like it would do better with Tebow.

I mean, I hate not being able to dispel this MOAR strongly.

The working title for the McCaffrey-Bin Laden thing is SIX FIVE. I’m hoping to have it done by next fall.

We will raise the moneys and make this happen!

makeitsnowondem

Because it’s one of the most culturally acceptable reasons to keep drinking!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Not for the London games. In that case you’re drinking because of the damage that Nigel Farage did to your country’s economic prospects.

You lack both IRL friends and social grace?

Russ has no idea how to burn a barn, he transferred to Wisconsin from the East Coast.

THIS IS THE BEST IDEA I HAVE EVAR HEARD

King Hippo

If you are a “Kaylee” you are either a smokeshow, or 400+ pounds

makeitsnowondem

All I’m going to say is if all the tight ends are going to drop passes you might as well have the most talented one out there.

Brocky

Hey, so uh…. guess who I picked up in fantasy this week?

The Brits like to say “horses for courses” announcng the footy, and after 10 years of watching I still don’t get their meaning.

He gpt “promoted up” to a position without any power but he can still hang around and eat apples and sugar cubes.

I figured Paton would just slap him and call him a coward.

King Hippo

oh noes, Hines’ back is locking up!

Doktor Zymm

Ok, this game is officially on the clock. If it isn’t awesome in the next 20 minutes I’m going to go read my book.

Doktor Zymm

That is NAWT an awesome start

Doktor Zymm

This series is great as the books are not only awesome, but also THICC

I am wearing my #55 Chubb tonight. Sending Charmslinger a message.

jjfozz

As a 53 year old, i will never not laugh at the word “Chubb”

King Hippo

It was even funnier when we had a TE on the roster named “Butt”

jjfozz

Butt is funny, but Chubb, rules. “Chubb up the middle.”

King Hippo

They were same draft class! I found myself going Chubb Chubb Chubb Butt Butt Butt – hopefully not out loud at the office

Doktor Zymm

Did Butt ever block for Chubb?

King Hippo

Butt was a TE, we really just needed a FB dive play for Chubb to make that happen.

ballsofsteelandfury

Butt always opens up holes for Chubb.

jjfozz

Guys, no shit. Please go to the SLack channel. got a major fucking event on my hands.

Mr. Ayo

Let’s ride!

DAMN SKIPPY. That’s a man who is VERY secure about the size of his penis right thar.

Horatio Cornblower

Me: Oh, cool, my top two picks, Johnathan Taylor and Javonte Williams, face off tonight. This will be a fun and enjoyable evening for a FF fan such as myself!

Also me: (looking at injury report). Say, I wonder what Drano tastes like?

Everybody knows that Charmslinger would have gone off that night, but he didn’t have a stitch to weeeeaaaaarrrr.

He’s got bread, though.

MRSA Dreamboat asks Herr DeSantis to declare this a hate crime.

WCS

And Danny Boy will still countersue her, because he just can’t help himself.

King Hippo

I guess that “Perla” bitch that Herr DeSantis hired to pwn the libs was already busy?

Until the NFL starts taking concussions seriously, I move their themes and songs be distorted like an NES game using a Game Genie. This will also apply when the referees start to throw flags to make the games more competitive or to fit The Narrative.
