Your Sunday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Let’s Do This!

To The Game!

Titans/Chiefs:

-Does this 11/12.5 spread seem high to you? The Titans have always given Kansas City a good game, having won five of the last six.

-Ah, but we must take into account Reid’s record after the bye which is now at 20-3, 12-1 at home. He’s a lousy father but he does know how to get a team prepared. (perhaps the two are linked somehow?)

-The Chiefs rank third against the run and that will certainly be put to the test this evening. I wonder if that’s a function of getting up early on teams and forcing them to pass though.

-King Henry has a streak of four straight 100+ games going on, including yet another 200+ game vs the Texans last week.

-Mr. Tanny Fanny will be a game-timer but I’m sure he’ll play-Willis is just not ready for prime time just yet.

-Trade away Tyreek, lead the league in offensive DVOA-it’s easy peasy! In truth the offense is much more balanced now that the target hog has moved on.

-The jibber jabber is that Kadarius Toney will get some special team reps because he has experience there and Skyy Moore has struggled, having not played the position in college. Plus, Reid’s system is difficult to pick up quickly so if he’s to be on the field he’ll be catching punts.

-Titans desperately need to get Patty into 3rd and long situations as their pass rush has created the lowest amount of third down conversions.

-Tennessee doesn’t have a lot of talent/recognizable names in the wr room but they should take a few shots downfield as three of the four top corners of the Chiefs are rookies.

Enjoy.

I did not expect them to actually snap the ball there. I approve of aggressive 4th down decisions, but given how weak TN’s offense has been, field goal was probably enough to win there.

Horatio Cornblower

Same. Wonder if Buttker (sp? whatever), is hurt

Horatio Cornblower

Cris talking about what Mahomes did on a “game-winning drive” during a game that just went into overtime should tell you all you need to know about how to place your bets for how OT is about to work out.

Gumbygirl

If there isn’t a script, there’s certainly a narrative.

He’s prescient, that’s all.

I had the powerball on the last one. That was it. Just the powerball.

Mr. Ayo

Witch!

Not the burning at the stake kind, mind you. But we have one piece of the billion dollar pile.

Horatio Cornblower

I think that’s $12, so you’ve doubled your DFO stock options.

Gumbygirl

I think it’s $4, but I’ll take it!

Gumbygirl

I don’t want any of us to win! Just in case.

Horatio Cornblower

Wow, the refs were just gonna keep throwing flags until the Chiefs got those two points, weren’t they?

I make fun of Gary Bettman a lot around here, and frankly in any sort of public form, and even in private, because he’s a fucking weasel and intergalactic disgrace, and I’ll continue to, but credit where credit is due he came out and said that they’d play the Stanley Cup Finals in Hell before that kid saw time in the NHL.

Good for you Gary. Now admit you were wrong about Arizona and get the Coyotes out of that high school gym.

I mean, that’s just assumed at this point.

Horatio, idea for a mock draft.

Bad motherfuckers in the game right now.

I DEMAND ZACH WILSON AS MY #1 PICK

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

He checks all the boxes. He’s bad, and he fucks mothers.

This concludes the draft.

TheRevanchist

But, your second pick has to be a kicker. That will make it interesting.

Gumbygirl

And to follow, overrated punks who should die of shame taking their big bucks while doing jackshit?

Horatio Cornblower

We did draft busts this past off-season.

Gumbygirl

I’m not talking about busts, I mean people who have been good but are coasting like mofo’s on their past laurels. See Aaron Rodgers.

Mr. Ayo

IMO, we should talk more about busts.

As a bears fan, I just realized that Matt Nagy is on the coaching staff most responsible for my fantasy points…..

I deserve everything bad that happens to me

yeah right

When I was a kid I picked the purple people eaters as my team because they were fucking bad ass. If there are kids out there who pick Tennessee as their team because of El Tractorcito?

I totally understand.

That’s a bad motherfucker right there.

When I elected Evil Overlord, whenever you vote early, your personal identification/currency/punishment will indicate that to the television, so when it plays a political ad, all you see and hear on the screen is a small brook flowing in the forest.

Mr. Ayo

Can’t believe they signed him to begin with. Boston gonna Bawstawn though,.

Dunstan

On the one hand, people should be encouraged to fix their mistakes. On the other hand, there is something hilarious about “we thought this would be a totally cool idea, but now that we see people are upset, never mind. I mean, we did ask our players and they told us it was a bad idea, but otherwise we had no way of knowing.”

Mr. Ayo

The best reaction I read so far was, yes, he deserves a 2nd chance, but that doesn’t include the NHL.

Horatio Cornblower

I would argue he does deserve a second chance if there was an ounce of evidence that he was sorry for anything besides getting caught, or that he’d done anything to atone for his actions. As there is not, however, my opinion is as follows: fuck that guy.

Dunstan

Cam Neely’s statement claims they thought Mitchell’s behavior was a one-time incident and that he had made amends. Motherfucker, all you had to do was read a newspaper.

And he’s still referring to it as “careless behavior.”

Where’s Ulf Samuelsson when we need him?

Gumbygirl

Yeah, fuck tbat guy and fuck them.

Dunstan

So when do you figure Mitchell goes on Tucker Carlson to be held up as a martyr?

“It’s like you can’t even racially insult and bully a disabled kid any more in this country without being cancelled! Thanks, Biden!”

Monday night?

Horatio Cornblower

That’s a fair bet. Ordinarily I’d say they’d want to avoid competing with MNF, but since they need to rile up the base for the election Tuesday, and because nothing riles up their base more than learning they might have to face consequences for bullying disabled minorities, Monday it is.

I am only half-kidding about this.

Horatio Cornblower

I am absolutely enjoying the demise of Aaron Rodgers, but I just know that slimy fuck is going to rediscover his form just in time for next week’s game against the Cowboys.

The only thing that might stop him is a disease that is easily prevented by taking a readily available and free vaccine.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

He’s not slimy, he’s greasy.

I’ll take “Things Deanna Favre Only Dreams About” for $600, Alex.

Horatio Cornblower

Just bought my father some stuff from the Chelsea store for Xmas.

Gonna have a couple of beers while touring the Arsenal store to make up for it.

TheRevanchist

The Wrexham store is still out of stock for online sales. How am I supposed to buy my gift to myself?

Horatio Cornblower

I just gave up on that one. I think I would have better luck, and spend less time, just going straight to Wales and buying it direct.

It would cost more, but I could also get some Wrexham lager, which apparently has a very good reputation and is not available in the States.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

They should make an IPA called “Damned Near Killed Him”.

Horatio Cornblower

I don’t think IPAs play well across the pond.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Makes sense, IPAs are disgusting trash that I wouldn’t use to wash my dirty hiking boots.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If Derrick Henry was healthy the last playoffs, the Bengals do not floor it up I-65 out of town with the W.

No one floors it up I65. Trust me, they won’t allow it

Redshirt

Well it feels like we did, of all four playoff games, that one was the weirdest ending.

Wild Card: WE ENDED THE CURSE OF BO JACKSON!
Division: Wait…what?… …. … okay?
Conference: THE COMEBACK!
Super Bowl: DAMMIT, WE ALMOST WON A SUPER BOWL WITH NO OFFENSIVE LINE!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Do the Titans beat the Chiefs? I think not. So I’m happy with how it worked out.

Mr. Ayo

I mean, they are tonight.

Brocky

So my father is FINALLY considering cutting cable. Anyone use sling or fubotv for their sports

Brocky

His big thing is still IU basketball, so fubutv has big ten network, and promises cloud recording

ballsofsteelandfury

Do it and never look back.

ThePirateSloth

I’m pretty sure youtubetv has Big 10 Network and recording storage.

Gumbygirl

Yes. I love youtubetv! Wish I had cut the cord years ago.

Mr. Ayo

Yeah, fubotv is legit.

Xfinity sucks balls. Fuck them all the way to hell and back.

ballsofsteelandfury

Yup! Fubo is great!

Brocky

At what cost thought?

ballsofsteelandfury

You can get a pretty cheap package with 500 hours recording time and it will have the Big Ten networks.

It really just depends on what other channels your dad wants to watch.

ballsofsteelandfury

70 per month includes 1000 hours of recording time.

Redshirt

YouTube TV isn’t that bad. You’ll lose Bally Sports but NFL Network comes with it and you can get Redzone for about $11 more a month.

Gumbygirl

I didn’t bother with Redzone, but 65 bucks for a shit ton of channels is a way better deal than cable was. I did add HBO Max for 15 more.

Mr. Ayo

Brocky

So… guess who I’m facing in fantasy in this game….

Mr. Ayo

GOD!

Brocky

True. I owe you a beer on that one

Redshirt

No, he’s not God, but I’m pretty certain even He would have the foresight to step out of his way when he’s at a full rate of speed.

Redshirt

I just came back from Dollar General and two persons, someone who worked there and I think a customer, were having an argument and threatening calling their attorneys.

If you have reached a point in your life where you threaten to call a lawyer because you were wronged at Dollar General, you really need to sit down and make an inventory of all the actions in your life that led you to that moment.

ballsofsteelandfury

I’m surprised anyone that’s at a Dollar General HAS attorneys…

Redshirt

We said the same exact thing. Also, one was videotaping, so you may see real life Redshirt in the background of the video not making eye contact when them.

You can get a lawyer at Dollar General, but each hour is an extra dollar, such a scam.

Also, the lawyer was trained in Poland.

Also, the lawyer is actually a baboon.

Also, the baboon is dead.

Mr. Ayo

Ok, but are they a sandwich?

Horatio Cornblower

It’s a baboon, and it’s dead.

Of course it’s a sandwich

Mr. Ayo

Dead baboon sandwich? The legal system continues to confound me.

Listen, I got a buddy who swears that baboon cooked right tastes like pork. I would hope they go the low & slow method… they’re pretty lean, muscular critters after all.

I’m the same. Also have the most points against, or close to it

I’m 1-7. And my points total pretty much reflects that.

So, I actually like “Everywhere” by Fleetwood Mac, but if they keep running this Chevy commercial I’m going to start longing for political ads.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oh my God yes. They’re ruining the song for me.

Redshirt

For me, its the Old Navy commercial where they butcher “Deck the Halls”. Look I already don’t like Christmas songs, but I don’t want to see then defiled like that.

Dunstan

Speaking of which, when does the LDB Challenge start? I’m a little worried by this trend.

Just do what I do and play Christian Worship Music full blast. No fair they usurp my religion with public domain songs for one month but don’t listen to the other songs for the other 11 months.

I’ve been watching football all day with the volume muted. I don’t know what I was thinking when I hit the button and I got Collinsworth for about 20 seconds.

Mr. Ayo

According to Xfinity I am not authorized to watch NBC.

I’m sure that’s because I only pay those assholes 250 a month.

Mr. Ayo

Jesus, even their streaming isn’t working.

Mr. Ayo

What in the absolute fuck. Every other channel, every other streaming service, all working.

NBC, fucking nothing.

Gumbygirl

Did they get hacked? Or maybe it’s a lone disgruntled employee who isn’t going to put up with Collinsworth for one more goddam minute!

Mr. Ayo

Ha! That would be reasonable. I only say this to let everyone know my timely and witty repartee on this live game is only lacking due to xFinity sucking all the balls.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Complain to Elon Musk about it on twitter. Tell him you’re being canceled by the woke mob.

Mr. Ayo

And now my Office on my MacBook doesn’t work.

I’ve been officially cancelled. JFC.

Mr. Ayo

At least I have power!

Mr. Ayo

Oh, scheduled fix time is at 7pm. That’s an hour from now. I’m sure nothing important will happen before then.

Mr. Ayo

VPN into work and streaming from there. Hurrah?

Mr. Ayo

Things are getting better, but I now have 3 screens of this game and 3 different time zones. It’s like I’m witnessing the multiverse in real life.

Mr. Ayo

JFC, only 1 stream is now working. Plus my brand new 1k Pixel Pro 7 decided to die last night, so I don’t even have a phone. Good thing there isn’t a tall bridge nearby.

Mr. Ayo

And of course, Xfinity support won’t talk to me because they know there’s an outage and I have to wait until they tell me it’s resolved.
