Your Sunday Night Football Open Thread

My guess is that we’ve seen a few dynamite games today. (composing this at noon EST) This will not be one of them is my guess but let’s give ‘er a go anyway.

To The Game!

Colts/Cowboys:

-Kinda feel sorry for the extremely immobile Matt Ryan tonight-I’d put the over/under on sacks at 4.5.

-The only known antidote to the ‘Boys pass rush is to give Taylor tons of touches (25+?) and hope for the best while draining that clock. As antidotes go, there are worse.

-Thing is, Saquon and Dalvin didn’t come through in the last two weeks so I’ll say, “Good Luck, you’ll need it” to Jonathan.

-For these reasons and many others the Colts are getting 10.5 points from Gamblor.

-Some more? One could always count on the quality of the Colts o-line but this year they’ve given up a league-leading 43 sackeroos.

-I was reading a Cowboys blogger who maintained that the key to beating Dallas is to have them run as many plays as possible. (?) His argument is that the team is prone to penalties and mental errors and that they’ll end up shooting themselves in the foot. So strange to say that about a team by a team coached by such a details-oriented guy like McCarthy. [snorts] But yeah, that’s how they’re going to lose in the playoffs.

-Guy to Keep an Eye On: Dorance Armstrong, a rotation piece formerly, has racked up 8 sacks this year. His career total coming into the season was 7.5.

-Speaking of, Parsons can take the league lead with 2. He’ll leap Matt Judon who has 13.

I feel like Chris Hansen is going to ask me to have a seat when this gif comes up on my screen.

America!

That’s SUPER interesting. Some big news must be coming out of Clemson.

Horatio Cornblower

I hope it’s bad for Dabo.

Dabo apparently asked after the ACC championship if DJ knew the biblical story of Jacob and Esau

I would turn and look at whatever she’s pointing at.

I’d not be capable of tearing my eyes away from her sparkly boob-covering thing.

Old Ham Head its absolutely maddening some times. And today appears to be one of those days.

Sharkette finally out. Drinking at the hotel bar. Need the clots to lose by less than 10 and today will ta massive success

I’m not sure what Ryan is bitching about; he barely got hit near the head, and he just got away with blatant grounding the play before.

NFL officiating continues to suck, and Cris continues to chucklefuck his way through it.

With my season on the line (in terms of getting a bye and cinching the money round), my current QBs are: 1) Charmslinger; 2) Touch of Downs; 3) Love (who won’t play now thanks to stupid Bearistocrats).

I should pray to get Brock Purdy Mouth off waivers and roll with him, yeah? I know someone will beat me to Tyler Huntley.

QB Crippling Week is always so much fun.

Mr. Ayo

Damn Brocky that’s some terrible luck.

Wait, oh shit. HAHAHAHAHAHA,

Mr. Ayo

I’m just imagining Hippo nodding off for the night, and ole Chamslinger sidles up and whispers in his ear, “Let’s Ride”

Nice TD drive for Dallas

CeeDee might have a future in football.

Hey folks! I’m back from Doha. What’s the deal with the red stripe on the Cowboys’ helmet?

Horatio Cornblower

We’re acknowledging the US Medal of Honor and pretending that Jerry Jones wasn’t trying to block Negroes from going to high school back in the 60’s.

King Hippo

Didya join ISIS while on the peninsula? Or MS-13 or whatevs it is that scares white ppl now

Wakezilla

No, but I was one # off of winning the “Win a free slave” 50/50 inside the stadium.

Horatio Cornblower

Man, when will the white man, (I’m assuming), finally catch a break?

I noticed that the Browns didn’t get much coverage today. I didn’t know that the NFL actively tried to keep the Browns off of TV, with only about 7% of people able to see the game. Still can’t stop the press from reporting, though. Watson just gave a canned “I’m just concentrating on football” answer to the questions.

Reminder: Fuck the Browns.

Why do we need to drag Paul Brown into this trainwreck again?

Huzzah, I have overridden the Edge crap with Google Chrome defaults and logged into my new home laptop. Fingers crossed when I try to import Football Manager, maybe tomorrow/

/also, not watching tonight’s puppy abortion

King Hippo

being slave to Microsoft and Google certainly isn’t cutting edge, nor is it likely super secure. But FUCK IT, is easy enough for a liquified brain like me to manage.

Wow, really surprised at all the praise for the military just now. So unlike the NFL and its media minions.

Thats a TD for CeeDee

I love how these stupid fucking morons paid no attention to the fact that *if* it was a fumble, Dallas recovered it themselves.

Shut up Chris. Colts had a chance to challenge

Matt Ryan is gonna regret playing tonight

Gatoraids

Good chance he wont remember it all

ThePirateSloth

I’m disappointed!

While it is still snowing in Portland, it is not sticking to the roads. So while I’m not advocating nor cheering for anyone to be hurt, I very much appreciate and enjoy the few days a year we get the “PDX and/or PNW people can not drive for shit in the snow” videos.

Seems like we will not be enjoying them tonight.

ballsofsteelandfury

I saw a video on YouTube about Vancouver from 3 days ago. They REALLY don’t know how to drive in the snow…

ThePirateSloth

Years ago when I lived in Seattle, during a snow weekend, it was just pure chaos. It was absolutely glorious to walk around town and just watch stupidity at work. Cars were just left all over the city, in yards, on top of each other, on sidewalks, in fields.

Chaos. Everywhere. I loved it.

I’m pretty sure they’ve already done that and it helped nothing.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I mean it hurt him plenty but he just knocked back a Recovery Water and was instantly back to 100% like someone eating a health pack in a video game.

Mr. Ayo

Also, everyone has agreed to not bring up his sustained erection throughout.

Jimmy G, out for the season. In related news, baby making season has opened in the Bay area.

I put my tree up today. The lights work, yay! I will put the ornaments on tomorrow, but I’m getting there!

I assume the Gumby household favors a gum tree, and that there is a kookaburra sitting in it.

Colts vs. Cowboys? I was in the car all through the morning and afternoon games and I arrive home to THIS? Fuckin’ NBC, learn how flexing works, you shitheels.

I think Fox and CBS is allowed to protect a few games when the schedule is announced. I’m pretty certain they would’ve protected Chiefs-Bengals.

TheRevanchist

All morning and afternoon in the car must mean you went 3 miles down the 10. Hope you brought the empty Gatorade bottle and the Depends with you.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Drove home to Glendale from Davis. No significant delays, surprisingly.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I’m pretty delighted with what the Bengals did today, too.

Here by the beach in Los Angeles there are some incredibly ominous looking clouds to the east. Extremely dark and nasty. My guess is that places like Pasadena, Glendale, and the Inland Empire are currently being wiped off the face of the earth in a biblical deluge of rain, hail, frogs, lightning, earthquakes, oil spills, and locusts, to name but a few. I got some extra chocolate bars at Target just in case.

The Canadian Maritimes has a similar philosophical concept called “storm chips” that get busted out for every nor’easter or hurricane. The only way to ride out the apocalypse.

I just arrived in Glendale. It’s not even raining. Very dark out, though.

I’m still okay. The foothills do look ominous though…

We have those weird cartoony low hanging clouds out here. Looks like the background of The Simpsons.
