Your Second Round of NFL Football Open Thread

Well, there’s only one game being played in this time slot but I’ll still cover off the other two games-that’s what’s in the contract.

To The Games!

Panthers/Rams:

Rumor has it that CMC is being shopped around the league which makes sense because it’s likely time to blow up what’s left of the team after Matt Rhule did most of the dirty work. Speaking of, is Stafford’s arm blown? There was yakking in the preseason about an elbow or shoulder thingy. He’s leading the league with 7 INT’s and the Rams have scored but one passing TD in the last two games. Something weird is afoot but this could be an opportunity to put things right.

Cards/Seahawks:

Perhaps DVOA as a stat should be put under more scrutiny. Why? Because Geno leads all qb’s in that category. I’m guessing he’ll come back to earth but it will be slowed somewhat due to the receiving talent he has access to. Due to bye weeks I’m starting a Seattle D that is 31st in points allowed and dead last in yards allowed. Yay.

Bills/Chiefs:

Both teams should probably be 5-0 but the Parity Monkey decided to throw his feces everywhere across the league but Philly. And really, why would he want to go there? The Chiefs might have a bit of a problem on their hands given that they’re facing the full complement of Bills receivers. (McKenzie and Knox are back though the latter has done diddly dick all year) Something curious for those under the hold of Gamblor-Josh is 20-10-2 versus the spread on the road. I believe the Table Smashers are sitting at -2.5.

Do your thing.

I mean, it’s not a “near Antonio Brown” until we see Anderson’s dick exposed at a hotel swimming pool.

Doktor Zymm

I mean, anyone here got a camera and know where the team is staying?

King Hippo

We have a BRICK MEATHOOK based in LA! Tell him to have a coffee and limp over!

litre_cola

Brick lives in LA, he gots lots of them.

Redshirt

My deepest sympathies for those who have to watch Cards-Hawks.

litre_cola

It is another Thursday nighter.

Mr. Ayo

Sigh. Need to erase this entire weekend from memory now.

Doktor Zymm

Get the Dolphins to put you in as QB next practice

Mr. Ayo

No thanks. I don’t want back problems!

King Hippo

WE HAVE CARROLL FACE!

King Hippo

Did Wee Kyler get his degree? He might want to consider other professional options.

Redshirt

Nah, don’t you remember Training Camp? He doesn’t like to study.

litre_cola

Well not a lot of people know that he used to play beisbol. – J. Bettis Detroit, MI

Doktor Zymm

It’s nice to see that the NFL’s scheduling strategy of putting a bunch of random NFC East division games in primetime has finally paid off with something interesting for tonight

Doktor Zymm

Someone might want to let Geno know he has a run in his stockings

King Hippo

fucking HATE when that happens

Gumbygirl

I will happily go the rest of my life without wearing stockings ever again.

King Hippo

Return of the Buttkicker!

ballsofsteelandfury

The what now???

Oh, you said kicker….

Redshirt

He can do two things!!!

litre_cola

We already discussed the empty calories of ass eating at a tailgate.

ballsofsteelandfury

Did ya notice the banner?

King Hippo

What a drive. WOW.

Doktor Zymm

I remember “Squirrel, You’ll be a woman soon” from the pulp fiction soundtrack

Dunstan
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“I Love Little Squirrels” by Oingo Boingo becomes a much more wholesome song.

Doktor Zymm

Works the other way too, it’s really hard to keep girls out of your bird feeders.

Relevant, although not term switched: https://youtu.be/hFZFjoX2cGg

Doktor Zymm

Oh hey! I forgot the Bills had a defense! I hope Von Miller has started a visualization regime where he is addirmatively protecting his chickens by going after the QB

litre_cola

This RAMMIT v Panteros game should be on a Thursday.

King Hippo

or any plays to Spuds McKenzie

Gumbygirl

No shit, it’s turrible.

Doktor Zymm

Lol, did JuJu just get caught doing a really unsubtle nosewipe middle finger?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Imagine how much baseball would suck if basically the pitcher (or any other player) could commit some kind of infraction that put a guy on base and reset the count to 0-0. Because that’s basically what interference/defensive holding does.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Okay I guess that’s basically what happens when someone gets hit by a pitch. But still.

Doktor Zymm

Hard to compare the two, game structure is too different

Doktor Zymm

Quite happy about still being free of company, assuming guy suddenly came down with Covid or maybe shattered his other ankle or he’ll show up tomorrow. I’ve gotten much better at being fatalistic about it

Doktor Zymm

Thank you

Gatoraids

Scott Hanson feelin the biggest blue balls of his life so far in this game

Doktor Zymm

Is that the only criteria?

Doktor Zymm

I live in a very nice bubble where things stop existing about 2-5 years before they become annoying

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I keep telling you, Fate: The Winx Saga!

TheRevanchist

It was just okay. A little too forced with the plot sequence.

Mr. Ayo

House of… wait, no.

Archer.

Welcome to Wrexham.

Severance.

Sexy Friday!

Doktor Zymm

Wrexham is in Wales, have you seen the Welsh flag?

Mr. Ayo

I’m trying to trick him! Keep your facts out of this!

King Hippo

OOOOOOF, that’ll leave a mark. Maybe the Chefs’ luck ain’t gonna run out.

Doktor Zymm

Whoever is talking Josh Allen into keeping his horrible attempt at a moustache, please stop

Don T

Too trim for a grad student, too fussy for a porn star. 👎🏼

Gatoraids

Allen going as Captain Murphy.. maybe next Halloween

TheRevanchist

All that machismo cannot be contained.

Mr. Ayo

That would put a sizable dent into his mustache ride business.

Don T

Rhat Stafford INT: is blood sugar imbalance to blame?

Don T

I say give him the hidden Snickers anyway.

Doktor Zymm

Congrats Hippo! Methinks that seals your Vodka league win

litre_cola

Don T and Maestro are having quite the battle.

Don T

The highest projected score is 70. It belongs in Amazon’s TNF!

Doktor Zymm

Higher than usual chance of a niiiccce score

litre_cola

Of course Allan Robinson catches one now. Where the fuck was that the first few weeks?

Gumbygirl

Rammmmmiiiitttt!

Doktor Zymm

Maybe Fatthew has gone secretly blind?

Spur

But his sense of smell increased

King Hippo

hey, whatever gets me to dinner the fastest

Doktor Zymm

Too bad so many receivers wear the same cologne

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I may have overestimated the number of field goals that would be scored in the Panthers-Rams game.

Doktor Zymm

Is Mahomes using a night guard instead of a regular mouthpiece? Or maybe they are invisilign?

Mr. Ayo

Nice throw kermit

Dunstan

“What is ‘something Rudy Tomjanovich never said’? Same category for $600, person-who-makes-me-miss-Alex-Trebek.”

Doktor Zymm

Still have not chased the last bit of rancid cheez-ball taste from my mouth. All my hot sauce is in CA, so might require a shot of something

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’d recommend tequila.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oh my was that a perfect throw.

King Hippo

They could not have looked any more “fuck you” while listening to his hissy fit.

Doktor Zymm

I hope they are quiet quitting and letting sacks happen

King Hippo

good point, parrots won’t eat strawberries neither

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oh look, Kansas City is the beneficiary of another team forgetting how to execute the most basic of football actions. Haven’t seen that one before.

Doktor Zymm

But they aren’t currently playing the Raiders?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

No, every team in the NFL seems to have these insane mental lapses against the Chiefs. As someone who hates the Chiefs like Andy Reid hates salads or Britt Reid hates those yellow “EXIT 30 MPH” signs, it’s very frustrating to me.

King Hippo

Q-aaron AND MRSA Dreamboat each lost as a huge favoUrite, so anything is possible today.

Doktor Zymm

The panthers/rams game perfectly matches the colors on my Japanese floor cushions

King Hippo

Imagine the Pro Bowl being a real game, and having to QB the NFC against Sauce and Surtain the next decade/

Redshirt

If it was, they could’ve solved the problem by making all interconference games at the stadiums of the Pro Bowl winner. Including the Super Bowl.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m partial to Jorge Pico Pica.

Doktor Zymm
Doktor Zymm

Kansas City is one place where I don’t want to go see a game, partly because Kansas, but mostly because of their fucking war chant or whatever it’s supposed to be

King Hippo

DEAR CHRIST, Grumblelord just SMILED. While a fixture was IN PROGRESS.

ballsofsteelandfury

Remember he was fired from Cleveland. Every opportunity he gets to rub it in, he’ll enjoy it.

King Hippo

Somehow (ok, b/c drugs) I HAD forgotten it. He was beaming like an 8-year old on Christmas morning.

Redshirt

That’s why the sky shuddered for a second or two.

King Hippo

it was legit terrifying. I would have been less surprised to see my cat stand up and walk on two feet.

Redshirt
Doktor Zymm

Haha, Sauce trolling the Packers, I like that dude

litre_cola

So why does RAMMIT suck this year?

King Hippo

LT retired, then OL injuries.

King Hippo

(also Balls’ lack of faith obvs)

Doktor Zymm

ballsofsteelandfury

Because last year was the promised Super Bowl for building a stadium in Inglewood.

The Rams are not good.

Gumbygirl

I’m going with the Fatthew has a wonky elbow theory. He can’t throw downfield at all.

Redshirt

Because life is throwing me a sympathy coin from February?

Doktor Zymm

Did you know that vacuum sealed packages of cheez-balls could go bad? My box wine may still be okay, but that cheez ball most definitely was not. Ew, ew, ew

Mr. Ayo

There’s a bet I would have lost.

King Hippo

Zappe goes over 3 bills. The Legend of White Mac may want to google “Wally Pipp”

Gumbygirl

Zappe is not Crappe!

Mr. Ayo
King Hippo

Between him and the 500s RB, one starts to see why JV WKRP was so damned good last season.

Redshirt

Seeing the current year’s Bearcats, its obvious. The pieces are there, you see flashes, but something is missing. Especially at QB.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I feel like this Rams-Panthers game will consist of a combined total of 16 drives that lead to a total of nine field goals.

King Hippo

I left the P*ts D/ST and Matty Ice on my bench. But it doesn’t look like I’ll pay for it, since I left my two WR/two flex alone (JJ, Thielen, Deebo, Aiyuk). I may have finally idiot-proofed myself with a fantasy roster.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

If I actually believe that was genuinely Terry Bradshaw’s money, I’d be a lot more interested in entering that contest.

Doktor Zymm

And they are playing the undefeated Eagles, it is crazylandtime!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

More like NFC YEAST amirite?

/cause they are RISING, you see

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Or NFC GREASED cause they are LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE!

Redshirt

NFC BEAST?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

No, nothing that complimentary.

King Hippo

Maybe Darnold can try whatever experimental stem cell treatment that Division took.

Doktor Zymm

And the Commanders are the rancid fruit on the bottom!

litre_cola

There are too many Bills fans up here in Canadia. They are like the Leafs, their fans are spread out. Go Chefs!

Spur

Yes, sir. We got a winner with the morning parley.
From Spur to Barkley

King Hippo

Wee Kyler takes 3 yard loss rather than throw it away (2nd and goal from the TWO). WHAT AWARENESS AGAIN

TheRevanchist

Almost time for the real game to start.
