Jibbly boobersnatch! This is not the game I wanted to see and the Rams is the team no one wants to watch. But here’s the NFL’s response-the Rams get this Thursday nighter, next week they get a Monday night tilt, the week after that they play one of three games on Xmas day and the last game of the year they play Sunday night. Yes, that team that has lost six straight and is the worst defending champ ever gets nothing but featured/standalone contests the rest of the way. Do Better NFL!
Flotsam and Jetsam:
-Hurrah for Davis Mills! He won his job back as starting qb of the Texans. And even more bad news? He is likely without both Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins-his #1 wr is Dorsett and that’s just wrong.
-The Hits Keep Coming: The Hurricane of Shit continues to swirl around Lil Danny Snyder now that the House has announced (to no one’s surprise) that the wee fella contributed to and engaged in the toxic work environment that no doubt continues to exist at the Commies workplace. Shouldn’t wifey be getting a divorce lawyer lined up by now or is she one of those Stockholm Syndrome types?
-Desmond Ridder Time: Marcus Mariotta, in his prime at 29 has thrown 3(!) games of over 200 yards. Other games he’s gone for 129 yards, (twice) 124, 131 and 134. His completion percentages have featured a 36% game as well as a 52 and 54. This is the time of the year when shitty teams play the “Let’s See What We’ve Got” game because they sure aren’t playing footed ball.
To The Game!
Raiders/Rams:
-A Little Excitement?: McDaniels has called a flea-flicker play in each of the last two games-they both went for TD’s so expect to see another.
-Do you believe that “Baker Mayfield might play” baloney? (or bologna, as they say in Italy) How could he have possibly picked up all the in’s and out’s of the O, the protection schemes, the timing with the wr’s, etc.? Pure silliness. If he does play a quarter or so you know the Rams tanktastic season is underway.
-I mean, they’re well on their way already with six straight losses and they don’t need help from Mayfield-they’re already got Perkins and Wolford for that.
-Meanwhile, on the Other Side: Thanks to some awesome running on the part of Jacobs the Raiders have cobbled together a few wins and stand at 5-7. (I remember saying at the start of the season they would run him into the ground because they didn’t pick up his option. And that prediction totally nullifies my dreadful 3-10 record in Freezer Vodka, so there) But they’re not making the playoffs. I’m not telling the truth mathematically but I am being realistic.
-Davante Adams is on a tear-over the last five games he has 7 TD’s, 41 grabs and 664 yardos.
Put your thoughts down for posterity’s sake.
We have this old fake plastic holly vine with bells on it, that plays Christmas tunes. We’ve had it and its replacement for 30+ years now. Very retro, my wife loves it. I just realized that the instant it comes on it plays the last two bars of LDB. So if I was in, I’m now out.
Did I mention I’m out of the LDB challenge? Heard the David Bowie/ Bingle one today, at the post office. Figures that’s the place that would screw me. Worst job I ever had.
I’m going to Winterfest at Kings Island on the 23rd and to visit family on the Christmas Eve where we may sing Christmas Carols.
If I make it to Christmas Day still alive, it’ll be a miracle.
Only need to make it to Dec 23rd at 11:59 PM
I guess the first time I heard it was today. My kid was singing it in the kitchen. May have picked it up at school. Which i was surprised they did.
I’m actually a little surprised that the game didn’t turn on a Josh Jacobs fumble after he was clearly having issues with his wrist but they kept giving him the ball anyways.
But that’s the thing about That’s My Raiders! They always keep you guessing.
I can sympathize. Every Bengals loss involves a little game I like to call “How is Eli Apple going to screw this up?”

Me: “Stupid buffering! To hell with it, this one’s over.”
(turns off TV)
And if I remember the old Magnavox, it’s gonna take like 3 minutes to warm up again.
I got a kerosene heater next to it; that cuts it down to 25 seconds.
Ooo Ivy league burn from Fitz
DIDN’T HE GO TO HARVARD
Harvard: The Stanford of The East
The worst part was knowing, in my heart, that they were going to blow it. I got that feeling as soon as Ferrell committed the offsides penalty on the punt.
Truly a land of contrasts.

That’s etc!
To be fair, he’s always been overly eager
The guy that knocked the ball out of Baker’s hands. Does he get cut right now? Or tomorrow morning?
He was already cut by the
San DiegoChargers this year. So…RAIDERS!Look, everyone knows you just can’t give Baker Mayfield that much time….
Long term, this fucks sooooo many drafts in April.
HAIL CHAOS
I might be happier now than after the Super Bowl
(I am not, but still)
So, so fucking much.
Damn, in front of the home crowd too!
(sigh) the life of a Rams fan
That’s Rikki’s Raiders!
I can go back to asking “Why did I stream the Raiders defense?” now, right?
THIS IS YOUR FAULT! YOU DID THIS!
If that touchdown costs me against Balls, AND if *checks standings* GTD (I think), BGR, and Hippo all win, I will be pissed.
