Your Sunday Night NFL Football Open Thread

computer issue.jpg

It’s been your usual football day-buncha close games, buncha blowouts, buncha injuries, buncha surprises. The Steelers and Browns bored the hell out of us, Jax waxed the Titans, the Raiders kept it close, the Texans keep on winning and the Lions are not to be trifled with. The 8-2 Detroit Lions. Say that out loud a few times.

To The Game!

Vikes/Broncos:

-This one will be short because I’m so angry at a certain IT group I can hardly think straight.

-It’s a five game win streak vs a three game win streak. I didn’t think either team had it in them.

-Though they aren’t a good running team-their season-high is 143 yardos against Atlanta-that should change with the Pocket Scientist under center. Dobbs is not afraid to use his wheels to escape trouble. That’s something that Cousins couldn’t/wouldn’t do. So I’m saying they go for 175+ because Denver has the very worst run stop win rate in the league.

-Denver has obviously been playing better recently (Payton did need some time to right the ship) they still surrender the 7th-most fantasy points to qb’s.

-All in all, Minny is looking pretty good, what with JJ returning very soon.

Have at it.

No, we’re just ignoring you.

Mr. Ayo

Totally understood and justified.

Sometimes simple admiration of cheerleaders is the only guide a fella needs. Last year I started following Maestro’s CFL posts knowing little about the subject. Instinctively I thought the team with the hottest cheerleaders would probably be good. So internet “research” guided me to choose to follow Montreal. Last year, not bad, runners up. This year… Guys I’m on to something here…

ballsofsteelandfury

Yes you are!

Doktor Zymm

Still have an hour before I should drive to the airport, maybe I’ll do some crossword puzzles or update my travel spreadsheet

2Pack

Shadow boxing is good too.

Brick Meathook

Man, the post-game show on the local NBC station in L.A. is so lame now. It used to be great with Fred Rogan and the Greek guy from USC, but they let them go and now it’s four dipshits who might as well be the same talking-head morons on any other sports channel.

ballsofsteelandfury

I’ve stopped watching it

Gumbygirl

Fred and Spiro! His name isn’t Spiro, but goddammit, it should be!

Gumbygirl

Today is the Gumby’s 41st anniversary. We didn’t do anything, but we will in a week or so. This Thanksgiving has been throwing me off completely, it seems way too early.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Congrats!

Mr. Ayo

Congrats!

The Blair Witch of enthusiastic greetings.

Happy marriage birthday

Col. Duke LaCross

Hey! Right on!

Happy Anniversary you crazy kids. And many more!

Thanksgiving IS weirdly early this year, one of those months with 5 Thursdays

Ha! The Browns signed Joe Flacco.

Aw, the Bengals could’ve signed Joe Flacco.

Wait a minute? What did I just say? And mean it?! What Hell is this?!

Not there yet. Too bad I can’t find the radio broadcast of the Gus Frerotte Wrong Hand Interception. If there was ever any call that defined the Era of Debacle, it was this play.

“Frerotte under pressure! Looking for someone to unload the ball to.” “Get rid of it.” Throws it with his opposite hand…” “What is he…?” “to a Browns player?!” “Oh, my God.”

Brick Meathook

Do you mean “Superbowl Champion Quarterback Joe Flacco?”

Beautiful, beautiful Joe Flacco. Your dreams have just begun, and Joe will be there.

Superbest Owl Joe Flacco!

I have not paid any attention to this game.

Has Dobbs been hired by Space Karen yet?

King Hippo

He doesn’t trust alpacas

litre_cola

Llamas are the death metal heads, alpacas are the stoner ska guys. People don’t know that.

Sorry, ONE LLAMA LLEAVES!

Here is the movie of me driving through a sandstorm today. This was no laughing matter.

All the paint was blasted off the right side of the car; fortunately it’s a company rental and we paid the eight bucks extra coverage so I’m just going to drop it off and say “Yeah look at that, you deal with it” and then I’m going to laugh, slowly at first but then faster and louder, working up to a maniacal cackle, and then I’m going to dance away across the parking lot while continuing to laugh, and laugh, and then laugh some more.

You can replace the soundtrack with some EMT music if you think that’s “groovy.”

Mr. Ayo

Is Black Powder a better option under center than Charmslinger?

Can’t wait to hear that debate tomorrow.

King Hippo

No. SMIRE. Bastard. MAN.

Mr. Ayo

Oh, you are still awake. Was just checking.

King Hippo

at least BLACK JEEBUS loves Charmslinger wut about u smh

The peg again with the cup loss

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Yeah, it’s much harder to get pegged when you’re wearing a cup.

The Maestro

Full credit to Montreal. What a game.

Mr. Ayo

Bidwill’s sexuality and the outcome aside, that was a great game.

Mr. Ayo

Well, poop. Stupid Frenchies.

litre_cola

Ooof Bombers. Mais Non!

The Maestro

YUGE ALS TEE DEE FOLKS

herodotus450

Is it true that in Candiaoun Football, if the Queen dies during a game every player has to take their right shoe off and hop around on one foot singing their national anthem “The Queen is So Good”?

Game Time Decision

Yep. But as there’s not a queen currently, not much risk of this happening

Senor Weaselo

But what if Reggie Jackson assassinates her?

The Maestro

10 minutes to go. Montreal just took the lead. Buckle up for a great Grey Cup finish, folks.

Game Time Decision

Tis been a good game

Mr. Ayo

Buckled up. Rooting for the Pegs

Game Time Decision

The peg just jammed one in

I hate musicals, and anything to do with them

Mr. Ayo

Ok, but how do you feel about EDM?

Edmonton is full of toothless oil rubes.

Musicals, and parades. Just FUCK that shit.

The South Park angle does work, though.

Pretty sure you mean RTD, but BFC knows what he did too.

Touches himself at night?

Mr. Ayo

Whomst amongst us?

Game Time Decision

Thanks, too many “back injuries”

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I also like musicals, sign me up.

litre_cola

We have discussed my disdain for musicals. I am Team Fozz here 100%

Game Time Decision

My kids love them, and youngest was in a few, so have seen many of them

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Sup, home slices?

King Hippo

Not Donks competence, that’s fo sho

jjfozz

Colinsworth has said the same exact fucking thing twice about the minnesota d when it crowds the line.

King Hippo

My piece of shit fantasy team wants to know where THIS version of Founding Fathers has been hiding

litre_cola

If you are 8-2 or above in fantasy then you are a fucking injury ghost. Bad decisions sure, but injuries this year as Zymm put it have been Hunger Games-ey

King Hippo

Q-aron, Waller, Justin Jefferson for me. Though to be fair, CJ Stroud and Trey McBride have been improvements I probably would have left languishing on my bench too long.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Second or third highest point total in the league and yet in 7th place. Pushing hard to win it….

The Maestro

I like wings

I like wings

If you ask me what I like I say

I like wings

King Hippo

They should indeed be served for every meal. AND burn away one’s fat layer.

litre_cola

I had some today. Delish

King Hippo

My pizza place makes excellent Sweet Red Chili wings. My sports bar makes equally great Mango Habanero wings. I wish I had a digestive system worthy of either.

litre_cola

Mango the most underrated fruit?

litre_cola
King Hippo

damn right! Easily #1 on my list. #2 is blood orange, #3 grapefruit

Game Time Decision

Are wings a sandwich?

jjfozz

So last night I said some comforting words to my mother, but I can’t remember what I said caused I had been drinking.

I am a wonderful son.

King Hippo

Fuck off, Charmslinger. Your degree says NC STATE just like Hippo’s do

RIP TWBS

How long before AI replaces us all? And how long after that before AI nukes us all?

Brick Meathook

AI programs the BBC News website. Here’s their front page from an hour ago:

Doktor Zymm

AI probably will lead to the end of humanity, but it won’t be nearly as entertaining as Terminator or any other Sci Fi dystopian story. It’ll destroy us in the most boring way possible, through poor bureaucratic processes

King Hippo

I just want to know how to ensure efficient opium intake. Hate leaving points on the field, ya know?

WCS

So… AI has existed since the dawn of organized government?

jjfozz

I want to assassinate colinsworth with an RPG

King Hippo

It is amazing that one individual can be that consistently full of shit.

HE was with some head coach in JV football this week. The coach was thanking him for his song.

Mr. Ayo

Dude, it’s been South Carolina’s kickoff song for like a decade.

litre_cola

GO COCKS!

King Hippo

I no understand neither. Maybe we are too old.

WCS

I’m younger than all yinz and I’m probably more confused.

Brick Meathook

It was a video shot on an iPhone with a soundtrack produced on the same iPhone.

In my day all we had were Led Zeppelin concerts and smoking a lot of pot, and we were grateful for that. We didn’t have no phones or EDMs or nuthin.

Mr. Ayo

You’re my age! WTF!

King Hippo

I feel bad for rooting against Black Powder.

But so root against, I must. D-O-N-K-S!!!!!

Mr. Ayo

It’s the Grey Cup, not the Green Cup.

Dude.

King Hippo

Maybe is Grey Cell Green now?

Mr. Ayo

I’ve got you at -150

Doktor Zymm

Whatever Yahoo says, it’s not that

King Hippo

I need Cort Sutton to stay within 61 of Hurts. Spam is a slippery eel, though. Ain’t counting me chickens. That could be a shootout.
