Your Thursday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Can you believe it’s week 13 already? What will these games give us? More excitement and shenanigans? My Magic 8 Ball says, “Why are you shaking me? What did I do?” Stupid ball.

Tidbits:

-Zack Ertz is moving on from Arizona, looking to hitch a ride with a playoff team that could maybe get to the Super Bowl. Not sure that he’s the missing piece that Philly, San Fran, K.C., Dallas or whatever are looking for but a man can dream.

-Look, there are certain rules that one must follow when one is an NFL player. Unfortunately, a small percentage of guys think that abusing (allegedly) one’s pregger partner is one of them. It happens too often to deny this theory. Von Miller is the latest guy that has to explain himself to the police and a judge.

-38 years young Joe Flacco is a Brown now and has immediately leapfrogged P.J. Walker in the pecking order. DTR’s concussed self seems unlikely to play this week so get your skim milk (not the full fat stuff-too rich) ready-eliteness is approaching.

-A sports news blurb tells me that Jim Harbaugh is being looked at by a couple of NFL front offices, including the Panthers and Bears. Could Jim’s people have floated this out themselves? That’s my guess-it takes a bit of the heat off.

To The Game!

Seahawks/Cowboys:

-Remember that Niners debacle that Dallas was involved in? They had their balls blown off by a score of 42-10. I recall DAK! doing the usual post-game stuff like, “We’ve got to re-focus, we’re better than this”. You know, the kinda stuff that every player says. Welp, tw’eren’t just jaw-flapping on his part-since that game his TD/INT ratio is a sparkling 18-2.

-At the other side of the field…Geno was so good last year. We saw a renaissance and we were happy for him. Now he’s led the team to 20 straight possessions without an offensive score. Welcome back to earth buddy.

-Before Cowboys fans get too ahead of themselves, all of their wins have come against teams with a losing record. They won’t run into any of those in the playoffs. Well, at least beyond the first round. (looking at you, NFC South)

-Jerry’s balls might be in a bunch these days. Dak’s cap number is 60 million next year because of the way his contract is structured. Can you say “guaranteed extension” given the way he’s playing this year?

-If Seattle has any chance here you may as well take Charbonnet’s prop of 12.5 rush attempts-running the ball and slowing things down is the only way to get the W.

It’s all yours.

I watched about 15 minutes of Netflix’s new show Oblivion. It’s really, really bad.
NTSF:SD:SUV is a lot better, and it’s just a goofy one-off.

Did the producers even watch it?

Oh, and to end on an up note, I recommend Blue Eye Samurai. It does earn its MA rating (didn’t expect a Japanese fetish brothel, complete with octopus), but it’s good stuff.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That is excellent to know about before I try to introduce it to the Dr. Mrs. as a show to watch together.

And it’s Obliterated. Oblivion is that kind of mediocre Tom Cruise SF movie.

I just spent around 900 bucks and most of the day at the Ford dealer. I hate cars. And then I had to drive to Riverside to pick up the dog. It was pissing down raining on the way back at the pass, and I can’t see for shit at night. Mr.Toads wild ride, woohoo!

Game Time Decision

Just saw the “Kars for Kids” ad. That’s a war crime

That’s the SoCal version of the LDB Challenge.

fleshwound_NPG

WCS

Mike McCarthy biffing the clock at the end would be delicious.

Soul Train was awesome. Look at those ginormous danger pants, those are such a trip hazard. Good thing they’re bright orange, she could spin like a top and go whizzing into traffic. Safety first!

we can do this. we can exceed 300 yards penalties

hippofant

If y’all are gonna make us sit through 250 penalty yards, you better go for the record you bums.

So I think I may be done in regards to fantasy football.

Going against Metcalf tonight. Started off poor this season, clawed my way back to 500, then get slaughtered by above average performances. Third year in a row of this shit. All the “good” teams in mu league got top three picks and didn’t have injury troubles. There’s like no skill at all. It’s pure chance at this point

Brocky

Also I started the Dallas “set a fucking record for defensive touchdowns” defense, which have three points.

Also my opponent is starting dak. Becaise they’re in last place. Yet still kicking my ass

Gumbygirl

Gumby is playing a guy who is starting two people on their bye. He will tell the dumbass if he doesn’t fix it, but will make vicious fun of him. They are big shit talkers in his league.

Mr. Ayo

BLEEEEERGH!

THIS DK METCALF I CALL HIM DK KHALED BECAUSE THERE’S ANOTHER ONE! AND ANOTHER ONE!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Not gonna lie, I forgot there was a game on tonight.

Horatio Cornblower

I knew there was a game but didn’t realize it involved Dallas, if that helps.

WCS

Naturally, it’s been the best TNF of the season.

ThePirateSloth

Was the stadium playing “Don’t Stand So Close to Me” in response to offsides?

That’s kinda hilarious.
