Sexy Costumes Anyone? Your Halloween Eve Monday Night Football Open Thread

Hopefully there will be all kinds of ‘interesting’ get-ups in the crowd tonight. I might even wish to be a cameraman in Detroit, [who has ever wished to be that?] scouring the crowd for some imaginative folks and their wears.

Fallout:

-Was it just last week (or the week previous?) in this very spot when I was yapping about the surfeit of backup QB’s that have assaulted our eyeballs this season?

-The most serious injury yesterday was Cousins Achilles. (where’s your god now, Kirkie?) There should be plenty of downstream questions/problems attached to this circumstance. Will JJ rush back now? The team fought back from an 0-3 hole to get to 4-4 but now what? Who’s Jaren Hall? What schematic changes will need to be made to the offense? It has to become more conservative, right? How soon does Nick Mullen return? Why would anyone pin their playoff hopes on this version of Nick Mullen?

-Desmond Ridder exited his game yesterday with a head ouchie, passed the concussion test and was held out of the game nevertheless. Coach Smith said that Ridder being sent to the bench had nothing to do with his poor play. Riiiight. Perhaps there’s a bruised ego involved.

-Kenny Pickett’s Ribs sounds like a fast-casual regional chain restaurant (I’ll have the 28oz ‘Disrespectful Tomahawk Chop’ please) but it’s an injury designation. Hopefully our Yinzer faithful aren’t on pins and needles waiting for the return of a guy who has topped out at 235 yards passing this year.

-It’s painful as a Giants fan to see them lose a winnable game twice but it is hilarious to then go online and read several yahoos call for the mid-season firing of…GM Joe Shoen?! The same Shoen that just traded a fading 29 yr. old DL Leonard Williams (and his 32 mil salary) for a 2nd and 5th draft pick. That’s some quality wheeling and dealing. Damn it. With a win yesterday the Giants would have been 3-5 which is acceptable given their sked.

-I think reasonable Cowboys fans can say for the first time in quite some time that this year’s version has a killer instinct. Aside from the close win vs the Chargers they’ve won games 40-0, 30-10, 38-3 and 43-2-. That’s some quality neck-stepping!

To The Game!

Raiders/Lions:

-Jimmy G. is playing! Ladies, commence swooning.

-Sun God was added to the injury report yesterday with an illness. Rumor has it he’s come down with Bijan Syndrome.

-The Lions give up the 3rd-most catches and 4th-most yards to tight ends-maybe you should drop some monies on some Michael Mayers (the spelling is oh-so-close!) props? He might just do some balling if this simulation is on point.

-Them Raiders had an ‘Open Locker Room’ chat recently. If the meeting didn’t end with the unanimous call for the offense to center around Jacobs, Adams and Jacobi then it was all a bunch of silly jawing.

-Going back to last season the Raiders have failed to reach 20 points in 7 of their last 8. That’s fine if you’ve got a defense like the Browns but otherwise it’s a problem.

-And yet that D is doing some good things because you can’t throw long on them. They’ve yielded a league low 10 passes of 20+ yards so far.

Hit those keys!

Still have to finish me beer, so watching more UK House of Cards. My poor decisions tomorrow are gonna be EPIC

Sharkbait

I still have scotch. No poor decisions tomorrow, until later when I fill a flask for trick or treating with Sharkette and 2.0

2Pack

Poor decisions and questionable conduct are the spice of life.

Doktor Zymm

Tomorrow gonna be spicy! I’m quite looking forward to it

2Pack

Let’s go retro.

So many kneecaps getting bitten tonight.

Doktor Zymm

I hope Lowratio has his rabies shots!

Horatio Cornblower

He’s been listening to a lot of Aaron Rodgers on Pat MacAfee’s show lately. Not gonna lie, it’s an issue.

Doktor Zymm

Oh dear, although at least he won’t have worms after all the ivermectin

Gumbygirl

I think he needs to spend some time in the Naughty Corner.

Horatio Cornblower

The two minute warning is what they should have given to the TV audience two minutes before kick-off.

Rare moment of self-awareness from Troy and Joe acknowledging they are absolutely not the “heyday” of MNF.

/Dandy Don would be warbling by now

Doktor Zymm

“Raiders with a chance”

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Mr. Ayo

If Jimmy G doesn’t miss that wide open bomb, then maybe…

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Just kidding

Downfield Matriculator

Lions put a lot of money on the under, I guess

Horatio Cornblower

Martha Ford’s gotta pay that UAW raise somehow.

Doktor Zymm

A good offensive coordinator puts all his players’ game bonuses on the over

Downfield Matriculator

I hear that prop bet is called “The Reverse Matt Canada”

Mr. Ayo

Nailed It!

fleshwound_NPG

445-139 in yards, game should be 44-3

fleshwound_NPG

as a tanking bears fan i should be worried. how did the raidaaahs win 3 games, but how in the HELL are they gonna win ONE going forward?

T-34s rolling down the vegas strip pretty soon

Gumbygirl

Much derpage in the red zone.

Sharkbait

I ended up ordering Indian for dinner tonight. Mrs. Sharkbait and I devoured some butter chicken

Doktor Zymm

Friend of mine grew up in Switzerland but had weird 80s health nut parents so she didn’t have butter until she was a teenager, just margerine that they called butter. So sad.

Sharkbait

That’s just tragic

Gumbygirl

Abuse.

Horatio Cornblower

And here I was thinking you had bison burgers.

Actually, bison burgers are really damn good. I should culturally appropriate that idea and start a chain on bison burger restaurants with an American Indian theme. I frankly don’t see any way this will backfire, which I guess is another way of saying I have no reservations about this idea.

Hi, I’m Danny Snyder.

Sharkbait

Haven’t had bison, but I’ve had kangaroo, and that is delicious

Horatio Cornblower

I’ve not had kangaroo. I’ve had bison, elk, (which is great), and some sort of antelope in South Africa. Probably a springbok. There seemed to be no shortage of them.

Gumbygirl

I have had both. Bison tastes better, I think. Beefy, not as gamey as venison or elk.

Mr. Ayo

This lady gets it.

Doktor Zymm

Oh neat, Janeanne’s knee bends extra ways

Doktor Zymm

I think next time I got to a NFL game I’ll bring a Bible verse sign and it’ll be this one:
. 2 Chronicles 21:14-15

“Behold, the Lord will bring a great plague on your people, your children, your wives, and all your possessions,and you yourself will have a severe sickness with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels come out because of the disease, day by day.”

Brick Meathook

Levticus 3:15:

“And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.”

Doktor Zymm

How is there almost a full quarter left?? I should have another beer, but I have to wake up early and make really poor decisions tomorrow morning

Horatio Cornblower

Trust me, “another beer” goes a long way towards making poor decisions the next day.

Doktor Zymm

I guess I should practice making poor decisions before tomorrow anyway, beer has been opened!

Doktor Zymm

Tasty stuff too

I walked right into this joint, took a beer out of the cooler, and walked right back out.

ok lions finally pulling away. about time. raiders roster is just crosby and a bunch of nfts resembling 8-bit football players. fitting since i bet josh mcdainels was probably secretly a crypto guy

the bears destroyed these fucks with a D-II quarterback

fleshwound_NPG

raiders were a surprise win away from being .500, in case you were wondering how fraudulent the league is this year

DUVAL might go all they way for all i care

litre_cola

Prisco had them in the Superb Owl v the 9ers

Horatio Cornblower

Prisco’s an idiot.

Doktor Zymm

I’m pretty sure I spotted a BoredApe jersey on the Raiders bench

Senor Weaselo

Ook.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oh, his affinity for cryptocurrency is no secret – Josh McDaniels was offered a job by FTX.

Fun fact: The Raiders defense couldn’t stop Forrest Gump from running either

Horatio Cornblower

“it’s not the back” is the NFL equivalent of lupus on ‘House.’ We know it’s not the back. It’s never the back. It’s a head injury. Probably a serious one.

Horatio Cornblower

Enjoying a Treehouse Ceylon Swirl tonight. That sounds like something sexual, but it isn’t.

They do not publicize the ABV on this puppy, but I don’t think I’ll try to operate any heavy machinery after finishing it, just to be careful.

Gumbygirl

Chewy.

Horatio Cornblower

It’s like drinking boozy syrup. it’s almost too much.

Almost.

Doktor Zymm

Yeah, the really high ABV beers tend towards the syrupy. Really ought to try putting em on pancakes some time

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I’ll take two

Horatio Cornblower

You and Snow will be getting these the next time I go up. I have to test drive for quality first.

fleshwound_NPG

meanwhile, aroldis chapman is still an asshole and still sucks all the ass

Horatio Cornblower

Was that even a question?

litre_cola

So Devante Adams gets all pissed off and runs his mouth and then plays like this???

BugEyedBoo

Dump button guy is earning his keep tonight.

fleshwound_NPG

some of this is probably buck muttering under his breath “fuck this game”

Gumbygirl

Later, he’ll say ” fuck me harder, Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman!”

fleshwound_NPG

a wildcard nfc team is dropping a 30 point beating on these frauds

this is the fucking raiders you tools

Doktor Zymm

True, but they’re only like using a red box to get free long distance phone calls fraudulent while the rest of the NFC North is full on Nigerian prince

fleshwound_NPG

85% of nfl rosters right now are just a damn nft of a football team

Doktor Zymm

BugEyedBoo

They made that old guy cry!

fleshwound_NPG

there does not exist ONE trustworthy team in the nfl this year

TheRevanchist

The last one we had was the Browns. They were guaranteed to not win for a while there. Still not good, but not as bad anymore. But also, fuck the Browns.

Col. Duke LaCross

Sudden change is sudden.

ThePirateSloth

If you do not own a panini/sammich press, are you really living life?

BugEyedBoo

We have a Shaq panini press, so we’re living or best life!

Gumbygirl

My George Foreman grill makes a fine panini. And I have the waffle plates for it too!

BugEyedBoo

We had one but it broke for some reason that I don’t remember. The Shaq grill is kind of cheesy, but easy to clean.

Doktor Zymm

I own one, but have never used it and I’m not even sure which state it’s in

Dunstan

Wyoming

ThePirateSloth

You should find it or buy a new one. Every sammich is turned into an 11 when toasted. Especially a PBJ.

Doktor Zymm

I am a fan of toasted sammiches. Never liked PBJ though, just don’t like peanut butter

Horatio Cornblower

This is the only place I get my paninis

You think Joe Buck rather be calling the World Series then this game?

Gumbygirl

I’d rather he was.

BugEyedBoo

That looks like where the shot The Grand Tour’s first episode, where they raced a Mustang, a Camaro, and a Challenger.

Brick Meathook

This is near the Ford Piquette Avenue model-T factory, so this is probably ex-Ford. I didn’t see The Grand Tour but usually the very similar looking Packard Plant ruins (now demolished) was the go-to photo spot.

Mr. Ayo

Brick nailed it. The Grand Tour did their shots around and in the Packard Plant.

WCS

Can’t believe it lasted this long and would imagine it will be picked again but I’ll take the Blair Witch Project. Old camera and some hiking gear, maybe a bundle of sticks and you’ve got a costume you could repeat forever.

ThePirateSloth

Make sure to kick a map into a creek, as well.

LemonJello

Offsetting penalties are such bullshit.

Redshirt

Also only enforcing one penalty. If a team has two holding penalties and a personal foul, add up the numbers and move the ball back 35-yards.

Game Time Decision

I was told there would be no math
And it’s not like most of America can do that math either

Doktor Zymm

THE A IN USA STANDS FOR ‘MERICA NAWT ADDITION

Doktor Zymm

Especially when one of the penalties is holding

Gumbygirl

Waldo!

Doktor Zymm

Was that a F-bomb on the Crosby love mic? Even the censors aren’t watching

ThePirateSloth

So I JUST turned the game on as Joe Buck was saying “touchdown, something something, 3rd quarter, 2 point game!”

Then ESPN put up the score graphic as they went to commercial.

The emotional roller coaster that I just went thru, let me tell you.

Needs some paint.

litre_cola

Some elbow grease too.

Mr. Ayo

Is this a package deal or what?

Brick Meathook

In short, Wayne County is a land of contrasts.

jjfozz

Troy Aikman, dressed as a person with a brain, no one would be able to figure out who he was.

fleshwound_NPG

on pace for about 11-3 (weirdly, NAWT a scorigami)

WCS

nawt 11-5

fleshwound_NPG

crosby’s been a beast good enough for a safety, but lions actually moving the ball

LemonJello

What about 11-5?

fleshwound_NPG

that would constitute TWO good things happening for the raiders
