Your (Dreadful) Monday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Will you be watching the N’Keal Harry revenge game? A Warning: You’ll see plenty of positive Belichick stuff tonight as well. It might be too much for yours truly. The prime time games so far this year have been less than stellar and this one slots perfectly.

Newsy Notes:

-As far as fantasy is concerned, Mike Williams, (ankle) Breece Hall (ACLU) and D.K. Metcalf (patellar tendon, maybe) are crushing your dreams for a few weeks or the entire year.

-Oh Melvin: After another putrid outing by Mel the Broncos have brought on board also-ran Marlon Mack. Probably just a depth move but I wouldn’t be surprised if Gordo was shipped off somewhere.

-You Hate To See It: The Bucs and the Pack are floundering and it’s downright wonderful to experience.

-The NFC East was supposed to be a two-time champ in the “Lousiest Division” competition this year but the NFC South couldn’t let that happen on their watch. Led by Tampa Bay at 3-4 they have all of 10 wins between them. (the AFC South has the same number of W’s but they at least have a winning team in the Titans)

To The Game!

Bears/Pats:

-Welp, I guess a reason to watch this tilt would be if you have the New England D and are down 15-25 points. So there’s that.

-Matt Jones’ ankle, feeling a bit of pressure from Zappe, is back under center tonight. Stupid Pats have two capable qb’s that are both on their rookie deals. Nuts to them.

-Oh, you won’t get tired at all of all the positive Belichick talk tonight as he chugs towards the all-time victory title. He passes Halas tonight.

-The Bears will need to score 11 points to avoid being the league’s lowest-scoring team-they sit at 93 and the Rams are at 104 (and have had their bye already, not so with Chicago)

-They do have a very effective run game to lean on but the Pats D hasn’t allowed a TD on the ground so far this year and they shut down Chubb and Hunt last week.

Good luck out there tonight folks!

I had the strangest fever dream, where the Bears had over 30 points, and you were there, and you, and you!

Sharkbait

I’ve resorted to more Bill Burr clips on youtube. I think I made the better choice.

Dunstan

Watching the Pats losing is always a good choice.

fleshwound_NPG

last time bears beat belichick and the pats…i was in high school

Gumbygirl

I was 40.

Dunstan

Deep thought of the day: they call them offensive tackles, but they rarely make tackles.

Gumbygirl

That’s why they’re offensive.

fleshwound_NPG

this is great as fuck

BrettFavresColonoscopy

This is why Horatio posted the “what would you change about this week’s games” before tonight, no improvement necessary

Recovery Whiskey

A question on Jeopardy answer was The Boston Massacre but had nothing to do with Super Bowl XX

Doktor Zymm

Who is Crispus Attucks?

WCS

Amazing that Zuckerberg goes does something to make me loathe him more. Guy’s got talent.

Gatoraids

Did he manage to clone himself?

Dunstan

Yeah, I’m not getting what the appeal of Meta is supposed to be. “Hey, remember when everyone first started using Zoom and decided it was cute to use the gimmicky backgrounds until everyone got bored with it two weeks later? Ha, Paul is at the beach! And Sally is on the bridge of the Enterprise! How zany! What if we did that, but like, for your entire appearance?”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I think there’s a ton of ways that VR is going to be useful and fun, but Zuck isn’t nearly charismatic enough to sell that kind of vision.

Gumbygirl

He has anti-charisma, like Musk.

Do the Boston College Patriots make another QB switch?

Recovery Whiskey

Holding not called

“Um, it’s spelled ‘Holden’, you lousy phony.” – H. Caulfield, waiting by the phone

Dunstan

That’s a crummy joke.

Doktor Zymm

Winners sometimes cheat, and Cheaters frequently win for about a decade, although they might suck after that

Recovery Whiskey

Bill Burr has the full compliment of Boston fan persecution complex

Dunstan

Yeah, when you’re complaining “they didn’t use a picture of Belichek smiling,” you’re really stretching. I don’t think there is a picture of him smiling.

Doktor Zymm

I don’t think his face even moves that way

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I heard he cracked a huge one after beating the Browns. It’s probably just an urban legend, though.

Gumbygirl

That is no way to talk about your mother, grumble grumble.

Brocky

Dang, burr knows his history

The Spurs are trash at Tanking!

Brocky

Bill Burr shit talking the colts and reminding me of how much I hate them…. idk man that’s great

Spur

Even the camera feed from Boston is white washed.

Sharkbait

This game sucks, but Burr is amazing

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Is there a questionable stream for ESPN2?

Doktor Zymm

Some good lookin’ Fields

What the fuck? Was this made by Irwin Mainway?

King Hippo

Too fantasy anxious, teevee off.

Recovery Whiskey

Proof fantasy sports ruins actual

Doktor Zymm

But slippery ball rain game!

I think 18 popped a hammy

He’s just sucking up to his coach, who loves that song.

Doktor Zymm

You can’t do any of those things!

Their hair is TOO EMBARASSING

TheRevanchist

Save it for Friday, son.

Sharkbait

Not necessarily Zappe related, I just love this line/episode

Oh god damnit, it cut the line.

She’s built like a steakhouse, but she handles like a bistro!

I’ve found that if you make it into a gif, you can embed the text.

Doktor Zymm

Holy shit, this is only half time

BrettFavresColonoscopy

You think either of these teams could handle double time?

Doktor Zymm

I would not be around to have my thoughts confirmed

Gumbygirl

Suzy’s looking very Carnaby Street tonight. Shagadelic, baby!

fleshwound_NPG

how does she outright refuse to age. is she time traveling and sending the same suzy in front of the camera over and over

WCS

Cairo Santos is name George Lucas would reject.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Or Lucas would make him an Egyptian landscaper

fleshwound_NPG

justin fields is rex grossman one play, rex grossman with 100 speed the next

WCS

Fuck it, he’s goin’ deep either way.

Recovery Whiskey

I see no dragons being unleashed.

fleshwound_NPG

in this case the dragons are scrambled

Doktor Zymm

Why are they playing the Cranberries?

Dunstan

Because there’s a lot of cranberry bogs in New England? Because it’s almost Hallowe’en and zombies? Dunno.

TheRevanchist

This game is in zombie mode? What’s inside Jones’s head? Do concussion symptoms linger?

Recovery Whiskey

Dropkick Murphys wouldn’t sell them rights?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Reminding us that we should be watching Derry Girls instead?

fleshwound_NPG

clint greasewood

Welcome to the Colts, Bailey Zappe.

Fronkenshteen

Wow, the Pats D is fucking garbage. I love it!

Recovery Whiskey

Even though he coaches offensive line this is probably still Matt Patricia’s fault

fleshwound_NPG

bears trying to tank and belichick’s 5D chess is having none of it

Gatoraids

Brady and Belichick seems to have shared horcruxes

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Fields looked like a crash test dummy after he threw that

Gatoraids

ooooonce there was this QBeee

Horatio Cornblower

I sure hope he didn’t injure his back.
