Your Sunday Night NFL Football Open Thread

I don’t know man, this seems to have ‘blowout’ written all over it. Maybe the Chargers will surprise us with a cromulent outing but they just lost to the Packers. Are they giving up or are they just the same old inconsistent squad? Hard to tell, really.

To The Game!

Ravens/Chargers:

-Flowers should bloom now that ball hog Andrews is sorta done for the year. (watch LAMAR! send Likely all those extra targets)

-The Chargers give up a whore-ish 291(!) passing yards per game but Staley is on the right track and feeling no pressure and everything is fine, for sure. When you ask him ignore the flecks of spittle coming from his mouth, he’s probably had his shots.

-Not only do they have problems thru the air, the Chargers are bottom two against qb’s that 1.) use play action and 2.) make plays outside the pocket. Yeah, they are screwed tonight-it’s just a matter of whether Herbie can keep up.

-Depending on the metric used these are the best and worst defenses in the league at the moment.

-Baltimore is favored by a hat trick. Excuse my Canada, it comes out here and there.

-This Year’s Jamaal Williams: You remember that guy that got all those TD’s from in close last year? Gus Edwards takes a back seat to the flashy guys like Lamar and Keaton Mitchell but just gets the job done. Most of his TD’s have come from a distance about the same as to you and your TV.

-Want to see an effective Wink Martindale defense? Just check out what Ravens Mike McDonald has thrown together this year-same pressure concepts, same weird alignments but not quite as much blitzing. Oh, and a lot more individual talent.

-This more patient approach has led to guys you’ve never heard of, like defensive tackle Justin Madubuika being on the cusp (9.5) of double digit sacks.

-The Chargers get te Everett and wr Guyton back so there’s that.

Stay safe out there.

“you never see that” apart from the times that hes missed this season

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Does Ekeler suck or is it all the Chargers?

litre_cola

All the Chargers.

Actually, Ekeler isn’t bad. He’s probably lost a step and was never really a 3-down back.

Senor Weaselo

On the one hand, we can apparently has game. On the other, does anyone care?

fleshwound_NPG

houston is not involved, so >0 indeed do care

“All in all, I just punched another hole in the wall.”

King Hippo

I think they just wanted to pad their INT numbers

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Someone tell Ekeler I need him to carry the dead weight on my team.

King Hippo

Surprising nobody, Princeton Red laughs at his own “jokes”

Horatio Cornblower

He’s worse than Collinsworth, and having come to that realization I am also realizing that there is no reason to keep watching this game.

Everyone have a good night.

King Hippo

Hey, you’re right. This ain’t even mandatory! HippoTV off.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Jason Garrett’s voice is like music to my ears.

Wait, did I say “music”? Sorry, I meant “poison”.

hippofant

That he keeps insisting that the Chargers need to feed Keenan Allen in crunch time is a sign of why he did not succeed as the Giants’ OC.

Senor Weaselo

“Why not both?” -Bel Biv DeVoe

King Hippo

Quoth the Ravens – evermore

Horatio Cornblower

Jason Garrett: “Maria looks great, doesn’t she?”

Tirico: -slight pause- (discusses game, leaving Garrett to twist in the wind)

litre_cola

Where the hell is Fozz? What do we think he is doing other than commenting?

Officiating family wrestling matches in his living room?

Ironing his purple camo pants?

Throwing a young marketing rep out a window?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Re-binging Emily in Paris.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Driving to BWI to throw a bourbon bottle at my head because he thinks I’m RTD?

Doktor Zymm

Looks like I might get to go back to my cabin in 90 minutes since my skin bends disappeared! Had tuna tataki, asparagus and ricotta ravioli, and pear sorbet for dinner. They didn’t bring me any wine with dinner though, tsk tsk

King Hippo

Is pear sorbet as good as it sounds?

Doktor Zymm

Yes, it’s basically a perfectly ripe juicy pear that’s not gritty. Instead of the never exactly the right amount of ripe of actual pears

Or not, apparently she meant 1:30 am not 1 hour 30 minutes. Boo

Brocky

That girl spinning by her hair?

I saw that at circlque de solie back in March for the new big apple show

King Hippo

I’d like to see one of these stadia sponsored by “Vito’s Loan Sharkery – Fuck You, Where’s My Money”

King Hippo

This is 60/40 a catch/fumble. Close, but again you aren’t going to change the call on the pitch.

Brocky

Not sure if I agree with that

Horatio Cornblower

I thought that was more incomplete than the Eagles pass on the last drive.

Brocky

Oof, you weren’t kidding about the calls. Some other teams that gets called an incompletion

King Hippo

WHAT IS A CATCH?

After further review, FUCK THE CHARGERS.

Horatio Cornblower

It’s time for everyone’s favorite game: IS IT A CATCH!?!?

litre_cola

FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON!

Senor Weaselo

Remember kids, don’t cut people off in your Mercedes in the rain, or you too might fishtail and nearly spin out on the Cross Bronx!

I wish they did except it would have been way too close to me and knowing my luck this year I would’ve gotten collected.

Put a bag on her head and do what you got to do

ballsofsteelandfury

Are the Chargers behind by 10 yet?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“Listen, we’re doing our best.” – the refereeing crew

fleshwound_NPG

chargers:

-no fans
-no home stadium
-no calls from the refs, even obvious ones
-fuck spanos

LemonJello

Yeah, don’t think the Princeton Eating Club is an improvement over Cris “SHUT UP!” Collinsworth.

ThePirateSloth

I hate Jason Alexander. Just go the fuck away.

Brocky

The wrong Seinfeld actor died in jurassic park

ThePirateSloth

He’s the actor equivalent of that one guy from your high school years, while in his late 40s or 50s, is STILL talking bout that time he was on the team that won state. Because it is the ONLY thing he is known for.

Game Time Decision

He scored 4 TDs in a single game

So I get to spend the night in the cruise ship hospital on oxygen just because I had some teeny tiny symptoms of decompression sickness after diving today. I already feel much better but oh well, at least I get dinner in bed. I wonder how much this is gonna cost though, don’t think Kaiser covers cruise ship oxygen

Col. Duke LaCross

I doubt Kaiser covers oxygen on dry land either.

fleshwound_NPG

he couldnt hold any dry land west of the rhine in 1918 as soon as the yanks showed up

Senor Weaselo

It’s the bends!

Game Time Decision

Hope you continue to feel better Dok

Horatio Cornblower

Dok’s vacation injuries/illnesses are a lot different than my vacation injuries/illnesses.

Gumbygirl

If you can’t have cocktails, the least they could do is throw in a nice sedative to take the edge off. It would be rude not to!

fleshwound_NPG

lol the nfl really, really wants the dumb chargers to go away asap and i dont blame them

fleshwound_NPG

herbert…NAWT BRADY, NAWT DESERVING OF A FLAG

Brocky

Damn it

I fried a turkey today, and naturally aye a whole wing and leg.

And now I’ve forgotten that turkey makes you sleepy so I’m trying to stay awake so I’m not up all night

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Maybe Marla can help?

“I haven’t been fucked like that since grade school.”

King Hippo

Good point, scotchy. Patience is the new market inefficiency in FITBAW, methinks. The use of tempo has gotten so prevalent that coaches and players get caught trying to hit a 5-run homer every free throw attempt.

I might be having a Kubiak here, but you get my drift (if I had one)

fleshwound_NPG

somebody finally kill cris

fleshwound_NPG

buffalo after its greatest effort of the season…still loses and finds themselves looking UP in the standings to the damn clots

look, if you find a way to lose four straight super bowls the cosmos are gonna punch you even harder in the dick 30 years later when you finally open up another title contention window

Brick Meathook

Is it safe?

Not a lot of spirit from the callers on the Cardinals Talk Arizona Cardinals Post-Game Show.

Brocky

Cardinals have fans? I thought transplants were season ticket holders
