Your Christmas Day NFL Football Open Thread Part One

Merry Holiday, you delightful miscreants! I just noticed that I labeled last night’s thread as a Sunday night. Was I distracted by the notion of having to socialize? Was I rushing to get it done? Was I just going thru the motions? Most certainly. I sincerely hope that all who read this have a minimally stressful day as possible under the circumstances.

To The Game!

Packers/Fins:

-Miami was looking much better three weeks ago when they possessed a sporty 8-3 record and were battling Buffalo for the division lead. But then they caught three straight losses and are now 8-6.

-Here’s some sweet news, “Even if the Packers win out they have no guarantee of getting into the playoffs“. FiveThirtyEight gives them an 11% chance to get in at present and with a win their odds increase to 28%.

-And it’s not as though they’ve turned things around from earlier in the season-you can still run on them and hell, you can pass on them as former shutdown fella Jaire Alexander is having a down (for him) year.

-Is the NFL coaching fraternity a closed circle that loves to recycle? [Brian Flores nods] Well, coaches McDaniel and LaFleur have worked as assistants together in Houston, Washington and Atlanta. But I guess it’s like any other profession in that one must network and get one’s name out there in order to succeed. And we should know by now that coaching in college is a whole n’other bucket of fish. So, yeah.

-Just Trade The Guy: Mike Gesicki, who everyone acknowledges is a talented player, has been targeted five times in the last four games. He had 73 catches last year. I think there’s some talent being left off the field by the coaching staff.

Go get ’em.

Some of us like to talk about how the NFL is scripted/rigged/fixed, but not even the NFL could orchestrate interceptions as awful as the ones Tua has thrown in this game.

The plate of empanadas grows!

“This guy is missing his receivers so bad, I’m starting to think it’s fixed”

Neil O’Donnell

Wakezilla

3 straight series that end with a pick.

/snaps fingers

The Miami Dolphins!

Downfield Matriculator

Might wanna re-check that concussion protocol with Tua — some of those picks were pure brainfarts

Wakezilla

Shades of Neil O’Donnell

Doktor Zymm

Now watching the game from the United Club in National airport. First time departing from here since they moved the concourse airside, I guess that’s all the construction they were doing last year.

I love travelling xmas day, not crowded at all even with all the flights that were cancelled.

If we’re asking litre for wine recs, what pairs with venison?

litre_cola

Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, preferably a left bank Bordeaux for Cab or right bank Bordeaux for Merlot blend, it usually has a bit of Cab or Cab Franc in there to give it some backbone.

Something nice and dry but not an Aussie Cab as that has way too much residual sugar comparatively speaking.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

This dutch place didn’t have that by the glass so Guala?

Wakezilla

Miami shooting themselves in the dick all 4th quarter.

Ugh, these fucking Packers are going to win.

Downfield Matriculator

Went for a walk with the dog when Miami went up and came back just now to A.A. Ron trying to close it out. WTF LOLfins?

2Pack

Indeed

King Hippo

McDaniel seems to understand how and when to change the game flow. He might be a good’un

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Seems evident that the Raiders hired the wrong McDaniel.

litre_cola

Nap was short lived. Back to football and booze.

Dunstan

Since you’re up, what would you suggest as a pairing for turkey with black mole? I’m thinking zinfandel or petit syrah?

litre_cola

Syrah most definitely. I am having a GSM with ours.

litre_cola

Zinfandel is usually very high in alcohol and sugar so you don’t want to over power the bird

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Come on, Tyreek! Beat these Green Bay defensive backs like they were children who found their way onto your “naughty” list!

WCS

Alright, I’ve ignored my family long enough. I’ll be back for the night cap.

2Pack

Clash of the Titans is on. I can feel myself being pulled away from this game to watch the Kraken get released.

Brocky

Depends on which version.

While I honestly think the remake was better than expected, it can surpass the cheesiness of the original

2Pack

’80’s version, pre CGI and cheesier than Green Bay.

Gumbygirl

Two words: Harry Fucking Hamlin.

2Pack

Indeed

yeah right

My two oldest brothers who I’m kind of a bit distanced from are here. It’s the 4 bros on Christmas! Somewhere Ma is shedding a tear.

Brocky

Start talking about politics and record it!

King Hippo

Watson gets incremental gains, fuckshit for Jones. Hippo APPROVED

litre_cola

Nap time!

WCS

Qaron turning it over here counts as another Christmas present.

WCS

TAKE THAT MAN’S PRESENTS AWAY

WCS

I don’t know what I ate yesterday/last night, but, wow. There’s lump of something black and smelly in my Christmas bowels today that is probably a biological weapon.

My mother bought this ornament in July at a thrift store and has held onto it all these months to give it to me

litre_cola

Mexican sandwich, nice.

Brocky

Yep.

It’s also a running joke with me and my family that I love tacos.

For years the only fast food place by my job was a taco bell.

I got one of those foam taco hats. I had a tacos license plate

Brocky

Don’t get me started on taco images. I don’t even need Google I got that shit on my harddrive

Gumbygirl

Merry Christmas, tacoboy!

Ooooohhh that’s another one for the collection!

Doktor Zymm

Slide that right into the tacos_notaeuphamism folder!

Downfield Matriculator

Packers playcallers finding a lot of coal in their stockings!

Brocky

Rodgers probably believes in the healing qualities of coal anyways so who knows

WCS

“Joe Rogan says it’s never been conclusively proven that mining can cause lung disease. Not only that, vaccines HAVE been proven to GIVE you low doses of diseases for your body to fight off! It’s insane!”

litre_cola

Blame me for this if you are a Pack fan.

King Hippo

Right into HippoVeins

WCS
Brocky

Baby hippos are freaking adorable

The P in Packers stands for Post-op because they have no D.

Aaron Rodgers powered up by the joy of not having to spend time with family for Christmas

Dunstan

Reposted from the wrong thread:

THIS GUY AARON RODGERS, I CALL HIM RON DESANTIS, BECAUSE HE’S AN ANTI-VAX ASSHOLE WHO’S DOING THINGS IN FLORIDA THAT PISS ME OFF WHILE FOX PRAISES HIM

King Hippo

GB secondary takes like a whole passel of The Legend of White Mac

litre_cola

I bet on A-A Ron hence the no td there.

King Hippo

I have C Watson that killed me. And fading Aaron Jones

Petronel

Waddle: not a great name for a receiver, but clearly it’s not holding him back appreciably.

Doktor Zymm

And he waddled away! Waddle, waddle

litre_cola

Bubbles cracked, a nice Blanc de blanc while preparing dinner.

If you eat a whole tourtiere in 24 hours, it in fact is too much for your internal system.

Doktor Zymm

There must be a tourtiere based eating challenge somewhere

litre_cola

In my mid 40s with still a good metabolism plus work at not having a dad bod, but eating a rich meat pie in one day was not a good idea.

King Hippo

Fuck you LOLfin!

Mass in the morning, Jewish rehearsal in the afternoon… anyone know a Muslim gathering in need of a violinist this evening?

You should call Robert Saleh, maybe there is some sort of Islamic curse removal you can perform for the J-E-T-S

King Hippo

That sexy banner pic looks like a George Santos partyboi!

Senor Weaselo

That’s not his divorced wife!
/It would be a whole lot funnier… IF IT WASN’T MY FUCKING DISTRICT

WCS

Definitely not his beautiful house or his beautiful wife. I’m asking myself: how did he get here?

Doktor Zymm

I think we should all run for office in your district

WCS

Another favorite film set during the holidays is on.

King Hippo

That’s the Shitsmas spirit!
