Your Mexican-Centric Monday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Hey, welcome to Mexico City! I know little to nothing about its history [Canadian high school learning, amirite?] so I’ll just wander over to Wiki for a sec… Hey, did you know that it’s called The City of Palaces but that was a white guy that said that. Apparently actual residents call it Chilangolandia which is something of a derogatory term that since been embraced. The city was founded way back in 1325, and was known as Tenochtitlan. As a larger metropolitan area the population base approaches 22 million folks! That’s a lot of taco trucks on corners, folks. There, I’m all caught up now.

Fallout:

-Wan’Dale Robinson announced his presence yesterday with 100 yards receiving and his coach announced his absence today-done for the year with an ACL. The Giants desperately needed a playmaker in the wr room so they’re now back to square one.

-Melvin Gordon, after yet another fumble, was told to pack his bags. I’m sure he’ll be a depth piece somewhere but his days of leading a backfield are done.

-Kelce had his 33rd 100 yd receiving day, knocking Gronk off the top of the list.

-Beware Don T’s Titans everyone-they’ve won 7 of their last 8 and have only allowed one team to score more than 17 over the last seven games. They’ll be a tough out in the playoffs.

-40-3: That was the Cowboys biggest road win and Minny’s 2nd-worst home loss. How they came out that flat for such a big game is beyond me.

To The Game!

Niners/Cards:

-Kyler is out again so The Colt McCoy Show it is (again). He beat the Rams with his spaghetti arm last week but everyone does these days.

-Looks like a win here would put San Fran on their merry way to owning the division this year. They seem well-poised to do so.

-They spent a week up in Colorado in order to mimic the high altitude conditions they’ll experience during the game. The thought of the Cards perhaps doing the same in Mexico City didn’t occur to anyone or was quickly quashed by a certain tight-fisted owner.

-Let’s Go Brandon: Aiyuk’s best buddy is CMC-since his arrival he’s racked up 19 catches for 247 yards.

-The Other Side of the Coin-Deebo has seen his target share halved from 24% to 12% since CMC came on board. I imagine that will be somewhat corrected at some point but he can’t be happy at the moment.

Do your thing.

No, it’s “adios”

Did not realize this was being played in Mexico City when I turned the game on and was like there is no way Santa Clara allowed these people inside the city limits at night.

BugEyedBoo

Watching the game on the laptop, boardgaming online, watching Game of Thrones (S4E6 I think), and talking to you folks. Multitasking!

Sharkbait

I have this on one monitor, Flight sim on my second, and the game on my third monitor.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Three touchdowns so far in this game and every single one scored by players on my fantasy team.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I just wish I’d had this superpower two weeks ago.

You know how Suzy Kolber is the Matron Saint of the NFL?

I think Yanet García should be that for Weather.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

[looks around the clubhouse]

I don’t see anybody objecting.

Petronel

Penta! ZERO MIEDO

Between Joe Buck and whatever the fuck that outro music was THIS GUY RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY I CALL HIM KING HAMLET BECAUSE HE IS GETTING MURDERED WITH EAR POISON

ballsofsteelandfury

Is your mute button broken or something?

The Dr. Mrs. is out of town so I’m lonely.

Gumbygirl, i presume your household’s Deebo wishes have been granted by now?

Gumbygirl

Yup. He offered to entertain the guy’s previous trade offer now, but oddly enough dude wasn’t enthusiastic.

“Member Folks. Take the turkey out of the freezer NOW!

ballsofsteelandfury

Or just don’t do turkey. We’ve officially become an All Side Order Thanksgiving Household.

We make all the side dishes and avoid the turkey and ham.

Gumbygirl

I don’t hate that idea.

ballsofsteelandfury

If you need protein, you can do Lil Smokies in BBQ sauce on the slow cooker.

Gumbygirl

Put some grape jelly in with a vinegar based sauce. Dreamland Sauce. I need to order some.

ballsofsteelandfury

That sounds awesome! I actually have grape jelly too!

Gumbygirl

A priest gave me that recipe. He was a Steelers fan too, he was the chaplain at Kings Bay.

Spur

GGGGOOOOAAALLLLLL!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Kind of feel like a facemask penalty like that should be reviewable.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Phantom facemask penalty, I should say.

litre_cola

Dallas Goeddert would nod but his neck is broke

I am enjoying the cavalcade of curves and tacos. In fact that will be the name of my new ska band.

Started Moore thinking we was safer than Hopkins with the questionable hamstring, here’s hoping Kittle doubles his performance from last week and gets 2 catches

Spur

Mexican fans loving the punt action. reminds them of the goalie booting one deep

What the fuck was that cartoon thing??!!

Was that a CGI lady McCaffrey?

Gumbygirl

I thought I was imagining it, glad you saw it too. I’m way too high for that!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I had no idea that it rains in Mexico.

ballsofsteelandfury

All the fucking time this time of year…

Spur

Who pays if the Narcos kidnapped Jimmy G live on air? What’s the price?

ballsofsteelandfury

They’ll get paid in porn stars.

litre_cola

Mexican porn stars? Are they curvy? Do they have nice shoulders? Some of us in the clubhouse have questions.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Go Deebo!

I already won this week but why not?

Gumbygirl

Gumby needs 4.1 points from Deebo to knock his opponent out of the playoffs. If you can’t beat ’em, screw ’em!

She appears to be a Raiders fan, which means she’s into all kinds of illegal stuff.

ballsofsteelandfury

If by illegal you mean anal, then yes.

Estrella TV has the hottest chicks.

Coach had to remind Bosa not to call ICE. These people are allowed to be here.

Stephen Miller’s November gets worse.

Ok, she is fierce, this La Mirasoul. Excellent anthem!

ballsofsteelandfury

México may have a lot of problems, but we got the anthem part right.

“Beware Don T’s Titans everyone”

& ain’t that the truth! Don T’s got some tenaciously tough Tits!!

You’re not eating tacos in México unless you’re sitting on a stool or chair or crate made of plastic.

Spur

There a truck near my home that loads up oaxaca cheese on the tacos. I love’em
