Your Week Seven NFL Football Open Thread (continued)

Thar be four games on this part of the slate but there’s really only the two. The best place to hide bad games (other than Thursday night) is Sunday afternoon, apparently.

To The Games!

Jets/Broncos:

This one looks to be a low-scoring affair so perhaps it belongs on Thursday? But that would mean the flailing Broncos would get yet another prime time gain, so no. Semi-disgruntled and somewhat petulant Melvin Gordon has been given ‘starter’ status, but for how long?

Texans/Raiders:

Is anyone going to watch this affair? Both teams have got just the one win and seem to be going nowhere. The Texans actually lead this series 8-4. Dameon Pierce, the star of my really lousy Freezer Vodka team, leads all rookies in rushing.

Seahawks/Chargers:

I held my nose and picked up the Seattle D for a bye week and they delivered 20 points! Will wonders never cease? This from a unit that gives up nearly 28 points a game. The Chargers aren’t far behind in the ‘shitty D’ category-they surrender around 25 points per tilt and have given up 15 plays of 30+ yards.

Chiefs/Niners:

Super Bowl rematch! Do you remember that one? At this point they all blur together for me. The other day I was trying to remember the winners of last year’s championships and it took me quite some time. The Chiefs have gone for 300+ yards in 11 straight games so Jimmy G will have to dial up his game a bit-he had 2 INT’s last week but also had a few long passes dropped by his wr’s. No doubt San Fran will show off their shiny new toy with a small package of plays.

Enjoy the tilts.

Last week while in Dallas, I added a Mooncake tattoo, below my PirateSloth tattoo. I love this little guy.

Game Time Decision

Just don’t make him mad

TheRevanchist

Do sloths eat mooncakes?

Seahawks special teams guy just suffered a Tua injury. Hope his back heals up soon!

“Oh so NOW it’s respectful?”

(I do hope the guy is okay, the league is run by sociopaths)

blaxabbath

Erin Andrews trying to do that thing where she looks less pretty?

Recovery Whiskey

Tbh nobody looks that great through a pinhole camera lens

blaxabbath

She did.

I hear.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“Oh, she looked fabulous.” – Michelle Beadle

ballsofsteelandfury

I’m going to need a little more background on this comment. What’s the Beadle-Erin thing?

yeah right

I would like to take a brief moment to thank the Washington Commies for delivering me a truly wonderful birthday present.

Fuck off Green Bay.

Gumbygirl

Happy Birthday!!!

yeah right

Thank you!

Gumbygirl

Wait…is this one that ends in zero?

yeah right

Nope that was last year. This ends with a 1 and a retirement countdown.

Mr. Ayo

Happy Birthday yeah right!

yeah right

Thank you! Still kicking and better than ever.

King Hippo

MILF-hunter Z is a slippery little shit. Not super SMRT, though

blaxabbath

Mark Kelly: “We need more truckers but government red tapes makes hiring truckers too difficult. So I’m working with Republicans to cut the tape and get truckers on the road.”

Me: “Why don’t I just vote for a Republican then and cut out you, the middle man.”

Recovery Whiskey

Probably because you don’t want the rest of the Republican baggage?

Doktor Zymm

Because neither side is actually going to do shit?

blaxabbath

It’s times like this I’m proud I haven’t gotten around to getting an AZ ID yet.

The last election there was a voter initiative for a wealth tax in AZ (3.5% on incomes over $250K). It passed. The state legislature then killed it AND introduced a 2.5% flat tax that will go into effect next year. It is being mentioned NOT AT ALL in the campaign.

Just gimmie my strong US dollars and shut up!

Doktor Zymm

If you vote for me I will get rid of government red tape by mandating that all government tape be Green and that will also fix the environment and lower gas prices!

ThePirateSloth

These stupid fucking FOX News midterms commercials are filling me with a specific kind of rage.

BugEyedBoo

Pair them up with Colin Cowherd for a really fun time.

Recovery Whiskey

THIS GUY GENO, I CALL HIM DENNIS THE MENACE BECAUSE HE ALWAYS EMBARRASSES MR. WILSON

ThePirateSloth

Holy shit Goodwin

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yeah that was pretty impressive.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I haven’t been that impressed since I was a military-age young man living in one of Russia’s more ethnic provinces.

Horatio Cornblower

Just came from a bar where my brother and father and I were talking about Premier League, and the chef joined in the discussion, and 5 minutes later he was telling us about how his soccer career was short-circuited because he knocked up his girlfriend and she wanted to have an abortion.

I like a good conversation with the bartender/chef/whatever but there are lines, people. THERE ARE SOME GODDAMN LINES, AND THOSE LINES NEED TO BE RESPECTED!!!

Anyway, soba noodles with pork were really good.

Horatio Cornblower

Sure, you can have some of my noodles.

blaxabbath

That ain’t pork….

Petronel

LOL CHEFS

Petronel

Just sitting down after a lovely afternoon of moving furniture to see my Niners…playing a highly-paid game of hot potato with the Chefs.

Fantastic.

NYNURZ

Doktor Zymm

They’re playing like California in 1949 instead of 1849

Recovery Whiskey

The All American Football Conference is underrated

Gumbygirl

Are you moving, or just rearranging?

Petronel

Rearranging – Tetrising. 🙂

Doktor Zymm

*Checks early game results*. LOL PACKERS

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Still undecided as to who to vote for in the local City Council election. Mitch O’Farrell currently has a slight edge because he almost gave me free milk and eggs and cereal one time (the Dr. Mrs. insisted we not accept that because “we don’t need it” which of course is how she ended up on Andy Reid’s enemies list).

Doktor Zymm

For state and local races I plan on going through the voter guides and voting for anyone who advocates for building housing and making housing cheaper and easier to build. I expect I’ll be abstaining from every state and local race

Recovery Whiskey

Sounds like you want the Socialist Dems or Progressives.

Doktor Zymm

Nah, they just want rent control and unionized social service workers

Horatio Cornblower

I plan on voting for whoever the Democrats are running. Saves me a lot of time and (theoretically anyway), keep the GOP out.

Gumbygirl

I have no opinion, but I would like Rick Caruso and Karen Bass to both die in a fire.

Gumbygirl

I don’t really, I’m just hella sick of the campaign ads.

Doktor Zymm

Instead of watching the late games I opted to go to a winery harvest party. I think I chose well. Even though there are a tone of flies here, but that’s true evrywhere this year. The vet was saying that this year they’ve had an epic number of fly related calls, grotesque stuff like horses getting flies stuck in their eye, and the small animal vets are saying fleas are rampant this year. Is this a sign of the apocalypse? Is this in conjunction with the Jets being good a solid prediction of the apocalypse?? MAYBE

JustStopDude

First time ever watching my Browns lose in Peru.

This fucking team.

ArmedandHammered

Man they lose everywhere.

Gumbygirl

I’m pretty sure they lost everywhere, not just in Peru!

Recovery Whiskey

The Factory exporting will help the USA’s trade deficit, thank you!!

Recovery Whiskey

So Seattle up 17-0 immediately begins to give the game back

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“We’ll teach *you* what happens when you fight back against depression!” – the Seahawks to ThePirateSloth

ThePirateSloth

Right? I’m an alcoholic BECAUSE of watching Seahawks games.

Doktor Zymm

Is DK Metcalf ded? My fantasy team is showing him as out

Recovery Whiskey

Ded

Spur

It’s the 1st true Fall day in Vegas. No need for the AC all day.

ThePirateSloth

I’m not caring for all these “Geno’s been learning on the bench for 10 years!!!!” takes, considering that all sorts of mediocre and horrible white QBs had plenty of chances to start games for that entire stretch, with no thought to have them ride the bench for multiple seasons.

Recovery Whiskey

Are you saying Geno should’ve been playing all these years?

ThePirateSloth

I dunno. He had to have been a better option for some teams than some or many of these awful QBs during those 10 years. It’s more about how he was never given a chance until 10 years later, just written off after a disastrous 2nd Jets season.

Recovery Whiskey

He could’ve gone to Canada and won 3 consecutive Grey Cups like Warren Moon had to

Recovery Whiskey

Eskridge wtf

Recovery Whiskey

Mark Sanchez should’nt do Geno dirty

King Hippo

This Chaaaaarrrrrrming….RYPIEN?

Recovery Whiskey

Crap. DK is essential

Spur

DK, DNP

blaxabbath

How’s that roughing the passer? Dude was chucking a “i’m about to get sacked” ball.

blaxabbath

Jed York.

Blech.

Recovery Whiskey

The guy giving the McCaskey boys a run for their money as least qualified nepotism inherited NFL job

ThePirateSloth

The Replacements is NOT a Gene Hackman movie, it is a gotdamn KEANU REEVES MOVIE.

My boy has an international day at school Friday. Supposed to dress in an outfit for his heritage and we gotta bring a potluck dish. Now, I find this offensive as a whateverth generation American man but not gonna bother.

Choices are Italy and Ireland. I’d appreciate recommendations.

ThePirateSloth

Have him bring steamed hams.

Gumbygirl

Last night for dinner I made halushki, but instead of putting noodles in it, I just had the cabbage/onions/ bacon/ caraway seed on mashed potatoes. I am Irish, Gumby is Slovak. We are genetically compatible, food wise. We both love the root vegetables!

King Hippo

A very handsy priest?

blaxabbath

I meant like — one heritage country with both an outfit and a food.

Meatballs.

Spur

Crime boss, baked Ziti

Recovery Whiskey

Go as Christopher Columbus

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Irish, dish can be a bottle of whiskey (served in a casserole dish)

Doktor Zymm

Stick some grease in the hair and Totinos pizza rolls

ThePirateSloth

Deliver some fuckin gnocchi as Tony Soprano.

King Hippo

I can’t stress enough (despite him languishing on BOTH my fantasy benches) how much I like Latavius Murray.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I always liked him when he was on the Raiders.

Recovery Whiskey

Khalil Mack the living monument to the Bears front office ineptitude

Recovery Whiskey

Who is this team and what did you do with the Seahawks

blaxabbath

Greg Olsen looks like a basketball player in the booth.

ThePirateSloth

I’ve tried to get into those movies, but I lose interest because I can never figure out where the story is going. Is there a destination? Could it be the final one on their trip? IT NEVER ENDS.

There’s gonna be 237 PI flags in this Seahawks/Chargers game.

I turned on the Jets/Broncos game and my YouTubeTV crashed. That’s certainly not an ominous sign.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand I jinxed it.

Recovery Whiskey

Wasn’t really his fault

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I haven’t seen a Geno delivering so effectively since that new pizza place opened up less than a mile from Casa Reid.

King Hippo

The Brett Rypien Experience? As expected.

Recovery Whiskey

Proving the narrative wrong and creating a QB controversy in Denver?

It’s not even Friday but ok.
