Your Say Sayonara to Thursday Night Football Open Thread

We’ve come to the final Thursday Nighter of the year. The journey started oh so many months ago-was it 6(?) or 8(?) months ago? [counts on fingers] Huh. It was just four months or 16 fathoms or 12 hands ago. Something like that.

God, the fun we had, the friends we made and lost during this incredible journey. The memories also, wow. Who can forget the elation of week three or the utter despair of week eleven? The childish innocence of week eight stood out for me-we learned some hard lessons that night, let me tell you. All of us will be ready for the playoffs having run this gauntlet together, of that there can be no doubt.

To The Game!

Cowboys/Titans:

-Well, I have some questions. What is up with The Joshua Dobbs Conundrum? He was recently poached from the Lions practice squad and is he expected to pull a Baker Mayfield or somesuch? Have the coaches had it up to here with Mr. 50% Completion Percentage? Mr. 23 Throws For 99 Yards?

-Are they protecting Willis? Shouldn’t the youngster be getting as many reps as possible before the big game next week? Are they worried he might get injured and not be able to play? Is Dobbs an insurance policy? Are they just tossing this game on  dumpster fire and walking away? It’s very confusing.

-Given that the Titans are resting 11 starters (by my count) I’m guessing there will be nothing but backups as far as the eye can see on both teams by halfway thru the 3rd quarter.

-Pollard is out as is King Henry. A Titans beat writer on the radio was saying that Hassan Haskins would likely get the majority of the touches because he’s able to pass protect and has a sweet pair of mittens. He also added that Julius Chestnut is much more fun to watch because he’s reminiscent of a young Natrone Means, that bowling ball of a player with the nimble feet that once played for the Chargers.

Do your thing.

Please tell me this was real

Gumbygirl

I’m going to go read. This lovely trouser snake is actually not a snake at all, he’s a limbless amphibian. Cute!

The images in this thread have warped my fragile little mind.

Can I borrow this for my AVN post?

Ma’am!

TheRevanchist

I’m feeling very inadequate tonight. Gotta recover in time for Sexy Friday, but don’t know if I can.

2Pack

Now that only the top seed gets a bye, I think more teams are going into the starters rest mode early. Could mean lower quality games in the last couple regular season weeks.

Sharkbait

Kinda surprised Dallas didn’t do that earlier tonight.

Mr. Ayo

Think the TV execs will figure this out before they pay for an 18 game schedule and tell the NFL they’re not paying more for 2 pre-season level games in January.

2Pack

Yes like most things the revenue will drive this.

Gumbygirl

They know we’re hopeless addicts and will watch no matter how shitty the game, let’s be real!

Mr. Ayo

Yeah, fine. True enough.

I’m going to be quite bored next Thursday.

The Lowly Ottawa Senators required overtime to win their regularly scheduled game, weak.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

THESE GUYS THE OTTOWA SENATORS I CALL THEM REGULAR SENATORS CAUSE THEY EXPECT TO GET PAID TIME-AND-A-HALF FOR JUST SHOWING UP AND DOING THEIR DAMNED JOBS.

herodotus450

Why do the refs care SO much about getting the ball back from various players? They have more than one, dont they? And kicking balls are completely different anyway!

You know, as much money as the nfl has, they could easily find a way to make Thursday night games more entertaining

That’s what I’ve been saying for years!

They should look into cheerleaders shower coverage. With a pre game preview, half time update and post game in depth analysis.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Dan Snyder has footage that he’s perfectly happy to license out to Amazon.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The thing is, Dobbs really *does* kinda look like a house elf.

TheRevanchist

Short for Dobbie, of Potter fame.

SonOfSpam

I’ll bet Dobbs wishes he had just stayed on tour with Midnight Oil.

Wakezilla

Wakezillette watching Matilda the musical: “Daddy, why does Matilda look like you?”

/Me walking over to the TV: “Oh, I’m sure she doesn’t look like . . .”

/currently googling the actress that plays Matilda and what is her mother’s name

Brocky

Isn’t there a famous story avoid the actress’s parents dying during production or something

herodotus450

600 San Antonio tourism commercials during this bowl game and yet they’ll never have a bigger impact than one off hand remark by Charles Barkley

Horatio Cornblower

Making a huge push for the gay vacation market, because if you were gay why wouldn’t you want to spend your free time in Texas?

Brocky

I mean, it’s fucking charles Barkley!

I had a charles Barkley action figure from space jam. He was wearing a toon squad jersey, which was weird because he’s not part of the toon squad in the movie

Senor Weaselo

Eh. If you really wanted to impress people, tell them you have a Barkley action figure from “Barkley: Shut Up and Jam Gaiden”

Don T

Touchback. This is NOT The Weapon’s Titans.
Good night.

Brocky

I’m not saying I condone violence, but If I was a Tennessee fan I’d be thinking about how those eagles fans throwing batteries were on to something

Mr. Ayo

Oh neat. I’m getting Brocky’d by a TNF game. Eat shit NGCP.

That’s not Lamb either Dak!

Horatio Cornblower

I’m not even watching an my psychotic Cowboys friend has called me up and is basically giving me the play-by-play.

It’s as bad as it sounds.

Sharkbait

I’m facing Dak in the final. Very glad he’s got those three turnovers to counter the not Lamb TDs

Alex_Demote

If I had a nickel for every time this season that a QB who barely met his receivers before game time goes on to have an incredible game against a should-be high powered defense, I’d have two nickels. Which isnt a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice and took this many words to describe

That’s dated today, albeit an hour in the future, and Dobbs hasn’t been a Stiller in 18 months. Did Biff steal the DeLorean again?

I think a lot of people really don’t fully understand how dramatically different some qb skill sets can be and how much modern game plans rely on film and game study

LemonJello

Since the outcome doesn’t matter, my Jaguras face off against Don’s Magnificent Tits for the Division Title next week, I’m headed to bed.

Later, Taters!

You’re not Ceedee Lamb.

Oh no. It appears my bad luck is spreading to other users. My bad guys. I thought I was using a rubber

TheRevanchist

These corners get more handsy than a Hollywood producer holding auditions for a Disney Channel show.

“Ha ha ha, good one!” – the Nickelodeon executive who hired Dan Schneider

Maybe he’ll hide the pizza box next time.

Greta Thunberg should make a point of showing up at his trial, then get kicked out by the judge for being unable to suppress her laughter.

Sharkbait

That would be hilarious.

LemonJello

If Vrabel had any spare DBs, he’d be cutting Avery on the sidelines right now.

SonOfSpam

“At least Avery would feel something”

-D. Carr, blasting Dashboard Confessional from his ironic Walkman

TheRevanchist

The raiders know they can’t just cut Carr, because the 9ers will just pick him up just to piss off the Raiders. That old Bay Area rivalry is still alive and kicking.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Did this Titans quarterback run over each and every one of his receivers’ dogs?

SonOfSpam

Even worse, he wouldn’t let them fight in his basement.

Brocky

I think he wishes he had an excuse like that

Gumbygirl

My SIL sent us Mallo Cups to make us feel better. They are working, I’m happy to report.

ArmedandHammered

I love, love Mallo Cups.

What are those?

Like Reese’s Cups, but marshmallow gooiness in the center. And some toasted coconut in the chocolate. Made in Western Pennsyltucky. Awesome!

That’s just the pre-C.

Nawt Dak’s fault

Just a normal Dallas game

That interception WAS Dak’s fault.
