The Best For Last? Your Sunday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Well, with massacres in New England, Miami and Detroit under our belts maybe we’ve got a close one here. Thanksgiving stuff needs to be done so this one will be brief.

To The Game!

Cowboys/Niners:

-Both these teams are so solid on O. Not only do they have depth of talent but each of them just don’t turn the ball over-only one for each team.

-Purdy Good: The stats say that the Cowboys have played the highest percentage of man coverage of any team since last year. Purdy, meanwhile is top 3 in QBR, yards per attempt and TD/INT ratio vs man.

-DAK’S ACT: It’s been cleaned up pretty good. Last year he led everyone in interceptions but he’s got just the one in 2023.

-Say a prayer for Colton McKivitz, his gameplan involves taking on Micah Parsons.

-Combined these offenses have gone over 30 points in 7 of 8 tilts. San Fran is the first team to score 30 in 7 straight since the 2012 Broncos.

-Kittle’s yardage prop sits at 40.5. When last these two played in the playoffs he went for 95.

Enjoy.

Since I’m bored, I’m going to say something that may come as deeply racist, but I’m bored and you’ll suffer the consequences. Plus.. for someone that had to be called it at 4PM on a Sunday, I’m annoyingly underutilized ( so again, I’m taking you down with me XD)… Anyway, to the thing that may come across as racist : I realized that I can’t tell Glovers apart,outside of Danny Glover (but then again, I’ve seen in him in actually good shit). But the rest – Crispin? John? Corey? Donald? Julian? Adam Driver (who I seriously thought was surnamed Glover)……… They all blend into one amorphous “Not Danny Glover” mass

ballsofsteelandfury

That’s not racist. All white people look alike. 🤣😂

bk109

That the do <in John Farnham’s voice> down the barrel of a guuuuuuuuun 😀

Horatio Cornblower

Well this has been fun, but now it’s time to drive two hours round trip to the airport.

Yay.

I will likely be a bit late checking in for tomorrow’s Hippo Thoughts.

Brick Meathook

What airport?

Say what you will about Sam Darnold, but he is a capable game manager when it involves last play kneel downs. In this area he’s pretty good for a USC quarterback.

Gatoraids

Taking notes

Brick Meathook

Mark Sanchez could have fucked up that kneel down at 00:02 in the 4th, leading by 32, and still lost the game.

Brick Meathook

John David Booty currently works at a Chipotle in Santa Fe Springs.

ballsofsteelandfury

He also has a tent at the Swap Meet on Saturdays where he sells USC memorabilia.

Brick Meathook

I bought a 12-pack of socks there once.

ESPN doesn’t show it anymore, but who else is still alive in Eliminator?

Gumbygirl

I went out in the third round.

yeah right

I died last week but I won the Yahoo league set up by Beer Guy Rob.

King Hippo

Nothing says Cowpersons like getting an offensive personal foul, down 42-10 and trying to run the clock out.

Horatio Cornblower

They’re as disciplined as Mike McCarthy at a Golden Corral dessert buffet.

Doktor Zymm

This has been a LOT of fun, goodest of nights y’all!

Gatoraids

why dont we have backup announcers at this point in the game

Horatio Cornblower

Not sure you want to talk about how the 49ers are committed to do everything to win championships and mention Eddie DeBartolo in the same sentence.

King Hippo

Pretty sure the Tomsulas are TRYING not to get first downs, but feel like kneeling this early is too mean.

Senor Weaselo

So, Maestro has Purdy, Tyreek Hill, Pickens, and Etienne. I believe it’s safe to say I will not be winning this week in the tWBS Memorial.

WCS

“YOU’RE ALL GUNNA DIE TONIGHT YOU FUCKING USELESS TWATS! GET ME THAT FAT FUCK MCCARTHY’S MANBOOBS SEVERED AND ROASTED BY 05:00! CALL UP PABLO CUZ THE OL’ DOUBLE J’S GONNA NEED MORE BLOW THAN AL MONTANA TONIGHT I AM MAD AS ALL FUCKIN HELL AND FUCKING CCCRRRRAAAZZZYYYYYYY”

That was the only thing about this game that I would do differently– have Jerrah in the owner’s box with a camera in his face. Other than that, it has been one helluva day of football! Happy Thanksgiving hat, hope you are all stuffed to the gills and pleasantly buzzed. I hate to be a party pooper, but I need to stretch out in bed and read. I am old and tired! Later my lovely taters

You know, in all these years I never really thought about this. I’ve always spoken and spelled them correctly, but I never really pondered that they were all different. Thank god it was the language I grew up with; I admire anyone who learns it and gets fluent.

ThePirateSloth

I’m going to the 49ers/Seahawks Thanksgiving game. I dunno why, we all know the 49ers are gonna demolish every team the rest of the season.

It’s my first Thanksgiving game ever, though. Guess I’ll be eating turkey at the bar.

King Hippo

Damn, that’s a pretty good Thanksgiving night matchup. Especially if they spot y’all a few scores.

Doktor Zymm

Hey, if those Seahawks fans leave behind mostly full beers when they storm off in disgust you can drink them and help prevent waste!

Brick Meathook

Go see the fish being thrown!

Gatoraids

Jerry’s “Wife”

King Hippo

I’m not sure anything has ever been funnier than Rikki’s/Mark Davis’ “Today Girlfriend” bit.

Senor Weaselo

“Tonight Girlfriend” could be a song title.

herodotus450

“Tonight Girlfriend, Tomorrow Wife, (Yesterday 6th grader)” -the Matt Gaetz cover version

Doktor Zymm

If the refs could see me right now the 49rs would get penalized for taunting, even though I’m nawt a member of the team and I live a good 12 or so miles from Levi Stadium

King Hippo

thank fuck I am too opium-laden to do the billable work I should be doing

Sharkbait

Sorry, not sorry Boris.

I’ve been reading the paper and only occasionally looking up. Have we seen shots of JJ in his suite yet? I really enjoy those during these debacles.

LemonJello

There it is! He looks like the both threw up in his mouth and sharted in his suit pants.

Horatio Cornblower

Yeah, but does it look like he’s been watching the game?

Gumbygirl

Wait, he’s there? My brain must have shied away in horror every time they showed him!

Brick Meathook

The guy with the white Stetson escorting Vander Esch off the field looks like the guy with the white Stetson who escorted Lee Harvey Oswald into the Dallas jail parking garage.

King Hippo

the PIECES FIT

Sharkbait

I haven’t seen a Texas coast blow this much since Galveston in 1900

ThePirateSloth

*1908

It’s ok, I’ll see myself out.

fleshwound_NPG

one of the most fucked up things about that storm was at the orphanage where the nuns tied ropes to themselves and all the kids; the nuns drowned, and took the children down with them

King Hippo

Dear God, they put PARSONS BACK IN THE GAME

Horatio Cornblower

Darnold’s in?

comment image&ct=g

Sharkbait

Darnold in. Game is over.

LemonJello

Cooper Rush may be coming in shortly.

/Lea Michelle strings several emojis together and smugly closes the notebook.

King Hippo

Really need to start playing tennis more regularly again. And YES, society. I do mean TENNIS and not your goddamned pickleball.

Doktor Zymm

THANK YOU

PICKLEBALL GIVES PICKLES A BAD NAME

49er Defense: You get a turnover! And YOU get a turnover! Errybody gets a turnover!

Horatio Cornblower

I guess calling the Dallas offense ‘Texas Coast’ is fitting, because it stinks and I don’t want to see it anymore.

LemonJello

Texas Coast? Moar liek Texas Toast, amirite?

Doktor Zymm

NEXT WEEK BOLTMAN WILL FEAST ON THESE LOW-IMPEDANCE COWPERSONS

LemonJello

You get a TD! And YOU get a TD! You, over there. YOU get a TD! Errybody gets a TD!

Horatio Cornblower

Not you, though, Dallas.

Brick Meathook

Plenty of time left – SF should go for the 73 point record (unlike that wimp MIA coach)

Horatio Cornblower

And now Vander Esch and Parsons have injured each other.

Awesome.

King Hippo

AND Bluebunny still has Dak and Pollard in the game

fleshwound_NPG

bout time they gave up

King Hippo

This is one helluva fine snuff film.

LemonJello

Who’s Purdy’s apprentice? I’d think it may be time to rest some starters.

King Hippo

Touch of Downs! He might have a belly full of paste, though.

LemonJello

Oh. Well. Is there a Make-A-Wish kid that would like to take a couple snaps under center?

Horatio Cornblower

Boy, good thing the Cowboys signed Trey Lance and got all that inside information on the 49ers offense, or this would really be getting out of hand.

Gatoraids

McCarthy was just looking up his restaurant recommendations

Doktor Zymm

Hooray! It’s already garbage time!

Youngest has boy friend over for Thanksgiving and we’re watching football and he’s a huge NGCP fan and he’s going nuts that they are losing and sucking. It’s funny to watch him yell at the TV

ThePirateSloth
