Your Regular Sunday Afternoon NFL Football Open Thread

To The Games!

Steelers/Bills:

Not sure if this is true but a sports talkin’ guy said that Pitt hasn’t been a 14 point dog in a game since 1968. Pitt’s O is ranked 30th overall so I doubt they’ll be able to keep up to Josh & Co.

Chargers/Browns:

Does Herbert like playing on the road? Today he’ll be trying for his 8th straight 300 yarder on foreign soil. He’ll likely get there as Cleveland is giving up an average of almost 8 yards a play in the 4th quarter. Makes it a bit hard to close out games, that.

Texans/Jags:

“From Worst to First: The Story of the 2-2 Jacktown Jaguars” doesn’t really have a good ring to it, I don’t know what to call this three hour-long documentary I made. My oh-so ‘sneaky’ fantasy pick of Davis Mills should give you some idea of what a dumb putz I can be, given the right conditions.

Bears/Vikings:

Minny is a quiet 3-1 currently. “Quiet”, for me in that when I think of good teams in the NFC the Vikes don’t come to mind. Perhaps when they get to 4-1 I’ll have to revisit my thinking. Poor Justin Fields-he’s getting sacked on almost 25% of his dropbacks.

Lions/Pats:

This doesn’t seem like a high-scoring game but Detroit will make it happen somehow. More correctly, their cornerbacks will make it happen. Zappe gets his first start and I’m actually pulling for his unprepared ass.

Seahawks/Saints:

C’mon Geno, you can do it again! Maybe he’s just a good player whose career got derailed? He was a 2nd round pick that blew out his knee. There, I’m convinced.

Fins/Jets:

Zach was lousy for 3 quarters last weekend and then put it together in the 4th, going 10-12 for 128 yardos. He’s the one that made that unlikely upset happen.

Falcons/Bucs:

Welcome to the big leagues, Tyler Allgeier-another rook gets his first start. He’ll be helped by an o-line that is surprisingly ranked 2nd overall in runblocking by the nerds at PFF.

Titans/Commies:

Outside of Puerto Rico and Tennessee, is there anyone watching this snore-fest?

Enjoy the games.

/Everton stream is off

//I TOLD ME SO

Wakezilla

Disappointing Everton is legit lucky United needs 10000 chances to score goals otherwise this would be 5-1 now

King Hippo

VelveetaDOWN

Dunstan

Ah, NFL announcers. The folks who always insist on saying “National Football League” instead of “NFL,” yet are now fond of saying “RPO” every chance they get.

fleshwound_NPG

whenever vikes fans do that chantcomment image

King Hippo

Men Untied absofuckinglutely dogwalking us now. Gruesome.

Gatoraids

niiiiiiiice

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

With his arm he could probably do that with fewer than 10 more completions.

Gatoraids

Kenny Pickett… yes he can… Kenny Pickett… yes he can

Horatio Cornblower

Ronaldo passing the ball to his fellow-countryman makes me think that the Portuguese are…(whips off sunglasses)…on a roll.

YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

fleshwound_NPG

we might be living in a time where all three yinzer sports teams are bad and/or fail to make the playoffs

Horatio Cornblower

Does his pay taxes? Because hers were (allegedly) lying about that at least.

King Hippo

Again, the hot should NOT HAVE TO PAY TAXES

King Hippo

Cunty McCunterson on for Men Untied, will he score a brace or full hattrick?

JustStopDude

Elon’s hot takes on twitter, in regards to international relations and various wars makes me wonder if this isn’t a distraction from his original dumb ass hot take of offering $44 billion for twitter and he needs to discretely liquidate large amounts of his net worth without causing investors to short his various over valued companies.

Thank you for joining my TedTalk.

fleshwound_NPG

it is

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Since 2016 he’s learned that manipulating idiots is much less work than inventing (or, being adjacent to the inventors, at least) rockets and electric cars.

King Hippo

SHAKIRADOWN

/Scotchy almost always rite

JustStopDude

The CBS broadcast listing off the Hispanics of Football including a pic Aaron Hernandez seems a bit…questionable.

Horatio Cornblower

Say what you will about the Patriots, (and I have and will continue to do so), but they have the second-best throwbacks in the NFL, right behind Tampa Bay’s Gay Bruce.

Gatoraids

liked them much better too cuz then they were bad and starting guys named Grogan

Horatio Cornblower

I had a Steve Grogan jersey when I was a kid. Fortunately my aunt had given me a Leroy Jordan Cowboys jersey first. If it was the other way around I’d have been one of those obnoxious Patriots fans. Instead I’m a fan of America’s Team, the Dallas Cowboys.

We’re quite popular and everybody loves us.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

But it was no use, he could not remember: nothing remained of his childhood except a series of bright-lit tableaux of Steve Grogan fumbling against a background of mostly unintelligible jeering.

King Hippo

With that foam roll on his neck!

Horatio Cornblower

My dog was playing with my son the other day and hurt his paw landing on it wrong after jumping for a toy. He’s still limping today, and I find myself trying to explain to a fellow middle-aged male that when we get hurt these days it is best to take the extra day off.

I also made grilled salmon for lunch and let him split the skin with the cat in the hope that the fish oil would help his arthritis.

Gumbygirl

I had to carry my 60+ lb lab home from the park, uphill for about 4 blocks, when he sprained his doggy wrist playing with a tennis ball. After that, he would pretend limp when he wanted attention!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oh my God! You are trooper. I had to carry my 17 lb dog about the same distance after she got a beesting on her paw and I didn’t get up from the couch for three days.

Gumbygirl

It was a hot and humid Birmingham summer day. I don’t know that I’ve ever been sweatier in my life. But Bear was a good boy, and he was hurting.

Wakezilla

I turn on the DFO Derby between United and Everton and the Reds are already losing? What the fuck?

King Hippo

Onana made Casemiro his bitch, Wobes converted on the break

King Hippo

aaaannnnnnddddd sound back on RedZone. FUCKING EVERTON

Horatio Cornblower

Fucking disappointing Everton.

FTFY.

Dunstan

Is there a Red Zone channel for Lesser Footy? Seems like a lot of time to fill.

“Well, it’s been 30 minutes since we last had a scoring chance in one of the 10 games we’re watching, but I’m sure another one will be along any second now….”

Horatio Cornblower

Oh look, a Philistine on the sidewalk.

For the group stages of Shempions, CBSSN has a very similar “Golazo Show” product (since 6 games at once).

WCS

“WHY AIN’TT TOMBLIN MAKIN KENNY PLAY DEFEANSE FIRE HIM AND SLEEPY JOE KENNY/TRUMP”

Yinzer rallying cry from Westermoreland County tomorrow

Gumbygirl

I grew up in Westmoreland County, can confirm.

Gatoraids

All dolphin QBs to end up as cenobites., its the pain we deserve in Miami

What the hell?! I take the first hour off to get lunch and Bridgewater gets Tua’d?!

King Hippo

WOBES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JustStopDude

Fuck, the boomer medical commercials on CBS are starting to be in my age range.

TheRevanchist

Lol! As if anyone is expecting the US to even make it out of group.

JustStopDude

Its Qatar. We are going to see the world’s greatest athletes competitively heat stroking in front of tiny, sober audiences.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Ghana won this shit show.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Tiny audiences? What happened, was there not enough slave labor available to build stadiums with sufficient capacity?

King Hippo

TeamIran!!!

Wakezilla

They’ve got a good shot. Wales is meh, England is tactically shit, and Iran might be geo-politically distracted.

Horatio Cornblower

They’re going to get to the elimination rounds or the 5th Fleet is going to start revving up off of Bahrain.

Col. Duke LaCross

Checking in from work. I see the nice trade pickup I made in Jaylen Waddle has been negated by Miami murdering another quarterback and the Bears are making Dingleberry look like Fran fucking Tarkenton.

Having a great time, honestly. I swear.

fleshwound_NPG

it took 4 games, but the bears are finally embracing their tank

AND giving cousins waaaay too much confidence as a bonus

King Hippo

PUT DALVIN BACK IN YOU FUCKSTICKS

Gatoraids

Belichick now going to start winning and wearing Balenciaga hoodies to pick up Gisele on the rebound

2Pack

Not until his recievers start catching the balls thrown to them. She does have a thing about that.

King Hippo

5-nil should be insurmountable against the “I fucked Ted” LOLfins

Gatoraids

Time for some wildcat and waddle and hill double reverses

Horatio Cornblower

Despite Michael Oliver’s best efforts, Arsenal overcomes the Red Shite.

Very good game.

King Hippo

GOD BLESS Y’ALL and WOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

King Hippo

Dingleberry gonna shout “I own you, I STILL OWN YOU” but like, in Bible-speak

Horatio Cornblower

5 minutes of extra time with Arsenal up 1, which means 5 minutes for Jurgen Klopp’s command of English to either reappear or disappear completely.

King Hippo

I very much approve of other fansbases than us Bitter Blues picking up on this.

Horatio Cornblower

It’s one of my favorite things about the Premier. Klopp’s absolutely fluent in English but pretends he can barely speak or understand a word of it after a loss.

King Hippo

Just like Sammy Sosa whenever anyone mentioned…performance enhancement

JustStopDude

WE GOT SOME HOT AND SEXY PUNTING ACTION HERE!!!

Gatoraids

bad month continuing for Bridgewaters in Florida

THIS ARSENAL DEFENSE I CALL IT THE HOUSTON 500, BECAUSE THEY ARE PACKING THE BOX!!!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

We also would have accepted “Amazon worker toiling away for slave wages”.

Horatio Cornblower

15 minutes left in Arsenal-Liverpool, Gunners up 3-2.

I promise you it’s more entertaining than whatever the NFL is up to at the moment.

Spur

Oh boy. it’s gonna be a beatdown in Buffalo. That town might run out of booze today

Horatio Cornblower

“Jesus throws a boot at it!!” is now my favorite call ever in sports, and I frankly don’t think it’ll ever be topped.

JustStopDude

In Houston for work.

I always forget that the Texans exist.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That’s silly, the city of Houston has a population of 2.3 million, most of whom I assume are Texans.

JustStopDude

Texas is like California. Everyone is transplants and the ones that bitch and moan the most about people moving there have only resided in the state for less than 4 years.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m surprised with so many people living there – transplants or not – the city isn’t the home of a professional football team.

Dunstan

Yes, but if Houston got a professional team, then Chicago would want one, too.

Spur

98 yard TD for Bills, NIOCE

Horatio Cornblower

Please tell me Josh Allen ran for it.

Spur

Still cant believe Pete Carroll sold the Donks a lemon.

fleshwound_NPG

and turned geno smith into something very useful

Horatio Cornblower

Christ, maybe he’s right about the steel beams.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“Imagine paying money for a lemon when they simply grow on trees, and you can sneak into people’s yards before sunrise and get them for free!” – Mike Brown

Horatio Cornblower

No kidding, right?-Jim Tomsula, loading up his bindle with citrus to avoid scurvy during the colder months

Gatoraids

He knew they needed the lemon after Russ cooking gave the team scurvy

Brocky

I could use some last minute fantasy advice:

I have a horrible feeling mahomes is gonna lay a dud tonight against the raiders, my back up was Matt Jones who ls still out

.I could play Zack wilson against Miami, Bridgewater against thr jets, or tannehill bs the commanders, any thoughts?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Mahomes is not going to lay a dud against the Raiders. I don’t know why this thought ever entered your mind.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly
Horatio Cornblower

Yes. You’re insane. Keep Mahomes in.

King Hippo

For the record, I 100% agreed with Scotchy’s Davis Mills strategem.

fleshwound_NPG

time for another week of “the chicago bears 10 pass completions challenge”
