Your Post Slave Labour Cup NFL Football Open Thread

Sober soccer fans as far as the eye can see. Woo! Well, let’s get to it.

To The Games!

Bears/Falcons:

These guys are 1st and 4th in rushing so that Velvet Underground tune Run, Run, Run, Run is dashing through my brain. If these O’s are going to eat clock all game long, why is the total (49) so high? Oh yeah, the D’s are both crappy.

Panthers/Ravens:

D’Onta is on a roll, having gone for 100 in three of his last four but Baltimore hasn’t given up that number to an individual player in 18 straight games. Carolina has little else to turn to so I’m guessing Foreman gets at least 25 carries.

Browns/Bills:

The Super Fun Game That Never Was is how this tilt shall be known (in my head). Josh has to get back to basics, having thrown 2 or more INT’s in three consecutive games. A Buffalo D that has given up 145 yards rushing faces down a Chubb that is third in rushing and has 11 scores.

Commies/Texans:

Texans historically don’t like Commies so that gives them a shot at the upset, right? Although at 5-5 Washington has played much better, albeit inconsistently, than most folks had imagined.

Eagles/Colts:

Saturday comes back to earth on Sunday? Both Sirianni and Philly’s DC were poached from Indy’s coaching staff and most likely know the Colts tendencies better than Saturday does. Plus there’s that whole rejuvenating ‘coming off a loss’ thingy to contend with.

Jets/Pats:

Way back on October 30th when these teams last played Motherlover had 3 INT’s and Mac got the sack six times-not a great day for either. I’m guessing more of the same treatment for both and the under on 38.5 looks lovely.

Rams/Saints:

This Rams D looks almost Aaron Donald Duckian in it’s ability to generate takeaways. They have just one(!) in their last seven tilts. The Saints O continues to sputter along despite having the likes of Kamara and Olave at it’s disposal. Andy Dalton does have that sort of ‘lowering the talent around him’ quality, don’t he?

Lions/Giants:

The thought of the Giants getting to 8 frickin’ wins and most likely being just two more W’s from a playoff spot makes my buttery muscles tingle. Thing is, although they defend the pass well, they haven’t yet played a top ten passing offense-the Lions are ranked 8th.

Push those buttons.

His dogs can fight, is true

It’s entirely possible we will have a World Cup game with more scoring than this NE-NYJ game.

I’m off to Treehouse to pick up a bunch of beer. Maybe some BBQ for later. Everyone behave.

So, sneak preview of my New Year’s Resolutions for 2023: I just signed up with the USGA/SCGA to get a GHIN.

Translation: I’m gonna try to actually get good at golf. Retirement is not that far away.

Hopefully…

WCS

They grow up so fast…

Horatio Cornblower

My decision to start the Jets D today seems to have been sound, as White Mac gets sacked for the 4th time today.

Horatio Cornblower

My decision to leave Nick Folk in at kicker, however, eh not so much.

King Hippo

yeah, quite the Implosion there

Horatio Cornblower

I knew the conditions for kickers would be horrible, but also knew that I was 3-7, so what was the point?

King Hippo

Plus, kickers aren’t PEOPLE, spread the Gospel before next year’s draft

King Hippo

Fatthew, he die

Ironically he is being replaced by a QB named Perkins.

King Hippo

Criminy, Detroit might be legit good now.

Horatio Cornblower

Yeah he’s disappeared

There’s a follow-up video with him shaking hands with one of the Qataris, and it’s pretty much the definition of a hostage video.

King Hippo

Lookit y’all, 500s. Getting 3 on the board, down…three TDs

ballsofsteelandfury

Bless their hearts!

Senor Weaselo

Why couldn’t it have been the Astros?

TheRevanchist

Could be worse. I could have the Ravens-Panthers game, which doesn’t appear to be going anywhere.

Dunstan

THESE HOUSTON TEXAS, I CALL THEM THE WEHRMACHT, BECAUSE THEY’RE GETTING DESTROYED BY COMMIES

At laundromat instead of watching Greatest Game Ever on Hoth. Stupid NFL. It’s safe enough for the Bills players, coaches and staff to take off into the air out of but not safe enough to play.

Gatoraids

Safer than the turf a lot of teams play on

Horatio Cornblower

I thought you were talking about the laundromat, and still didn’t disagree.

BugEyedBoo

Sly Stallone taking over the Tulsa mob! Sign me up for some of that!

Sort of related, Oscar is an underrated movie.

If the Jets make the playoffs, they should start Flacco. Just be like “yeah, we gotta go with the guy who’s got playoff experience” and pray that Joe has another ELITE run like he’s done in the past.

Redshirt

Based off of that, if the Saints somehow find themselves in the playoffs, they should start Dalton and start the parade plans.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I wish it would make me feel better for the Colts to beat the Eagles, but it won’t.

Horatio Cornblower

Just got back from walking the dog. I think I saw as much quality football during that walk as any currently freezing their ass off in Foxboro did.

Other than deciding to go see ‘Our American Cousin’, President Lincoln made many good decisions.

He was on last night’s rerun. With the Microsoft Office Hawaiian shirt.

I don’t think DET ever wins going into Thanksgiving week. Then, they transform.

ThePirateSloth

Huh, I don’t think I can just enjoy football or sports today, with the state of all the things. I just can’t shut my brain off and disconnect. Ah well.

Gumbygirl

Take a Mental Health Day whenever you need one, charming pirate! We’ll still be here when you’re ready to come back.

King Hippo

Just saw the Colorado Springs news, awful stuff.

Huh, I just saw the “referees” disallowed Ecuador’s first goal. I picked them to win by three. Bastards! Oh, and Rammmittt!

Assuming the hype about the CIN/PIT fanbase hate is to be believed — which fan base is worse? And why do they hate each other so much? Is it just the NFL or are they just competing cities overall?

King Hippo

Don’t believe it. It’s a SEQUEL.

ballsofsteelandfury

I really don’t think there’s any hate. You can’t really hate your little red-headed stepbrother.

King Hippo

Balls is added to Redshirt’s list

Cincy is probably worse, but Pittsburgh is more arrogant.

Cincinnati and Pittsburgh has a rivalry that spans all sports.

ballsofsteelandfury

Can attest that Pittsburgh is extremely arrogant.

blaxabbath

In a contest between Probably Worse vs More Arrogant, I’m rooting for Probably Worse 100% of the time.

It’s like the Peanuts Movie, everyone laughs at Charlie Brown when he fails, but on the rare occasions where he does good, they can’t help but smile.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

To me that’s like one of my muddy shoes having a rivalry with its companion muddy shoe.

Horatio Cornblower

The #content around here lately is as overcrowded as a camp full of underpaid migrant workers in a hypothetical desert country trying to host a hypothetical world sporting tournament.

BugEyedBoo

At least one every day!

Hey! What are you doing outside of the kontent mines?

King Hippo

Strawberry Fields ABSOLUTELY has the judgment of our old pal Sex Cannon.

Fuck It I’m Going Deep is the post that brought me to KSK. My old buddy showed it to me and I thought it was hilarious.

King Hippo

SAME HERE. It still took me two years to work up the nerve to post. Old School Zero was very welcoming and I will always appreciate that.

For the first time in about 5 years, I am under 200 lbs!

I was all hyped up because I was gonna play the Buffalo defense before the game got moved

On the clock today, Salesforce migration not going as planned. my Team is dead in the water until our Order permissions are fixed

BugEyedBoo

My experience with Salesforce is that it sucks.

yeah right

Damn! I was just coming back from the store down the hill from Palos Verdes and you could see past the harbor down to Huntington south, you could see the San Gabriel mountains to the north. You could see the fucking Hollywood sign.

It’s a crystal clear morning out there is what I’m getting at.

blaxabbath

We went through LAX for our recent trip. I can’t get over how fucking big that place is. You’ve just got people everywhere.

blaxabbath

I mean looking down at the city of angels — not just the airport.

yeah right

It’s nuts. The pilot announces you’re about to land in 30 minutes and you’re already flying over the suburbs.

It’s fucking massive.

Heh, I love the staying power of “buttery muscles.”
