Your Gentle Sunday Evening Open Thread (with football goodness)

Canadian_girl_400x400.jpg

She’s a rainy depressive day over here and I should make a fire. Ruby loves snuggling nearby when it’s roaring but Molly (the incredibly stupid one) doesn’t have a clue-she’d rather go out in the dreary drizzle and annoy the good folks that live down the road. (one time she came back with a gash in her head and we’re pretty sure one of our neighbors took a potshot at her, we just couldn’t settle on which one) Are you still in the LDB Challenge? As I said previously, I’m still in despite the fact that the boys in the warehouse play local radio which has an Xmas tune every fourth song. Why am I typing this drivel? Oh yeah…

To The Game!

Ravens/Jags:

-Poor Jacktown-they played the #1 defense last week and their prize for having done that is the #2 defense this evening.

-Baltimore leads the league with 49 sacks-not good news for a guy that gets passed around correctional facilities like a carton of Marlboros who also happens to have a gimpy ankle.

-Lamar! only averages 225 yards passing per game but he went for 300+ last week. The Jags D gives up a very healthy average of 265 so our favorite Jackson might just have back-to-back 300 games for only the second time in his career. Seriously, he’s only done it once? In this passing-friendly league?

-Travis Etouffee got off to a hot start but he’s now in the midst of an eight game streak of not having rushed for 100 yards. He probably needs more Holy Trinity in his diet.

-A win by the Ravens gets them to a 68% chance of achieving the top seed in the AFC

-A Jags win virtually guarantees them top spot in the putrid NFC South, as though that were a goal worth striving for.

-Flowers For AlgerZay: He’s been gobbling up the targets recently and has been good for 20+ fantasy points the last two weeks.

Go get ’em.

i am appreciating this “the league is bullshit” thing going on right now from the rules expert

Welp. VAR Goddammit.

And with that, goodnight fellow degenerates.

Collinsworth is particularly insufferable this evening. Where is Lee Harvey Oswald when you need him?

WCS

Exile him to the Belgian Congo for no less than ten rubber harvests.

Goddammmit. The 3rd.

Was I the only one who started freaking out when the punter lined up on the edge of the out-of-bounds border?

LemonJello

I briefly considered that they were just going to take the safety and go from there.

Cecil Rhodes

I checked to see if the punter’s last name was Orlovsky.

What we had there, in the Baltimore secondary, was failure to communicate. That DB will certainly get a night in the box.

Prison Girlfriend knows his way around the yard.

I’ve heard that’s where his milkshake brings the boys

fleshwound_NPG

jags had the under for the 1st half and cashed out. now time to actually play.

blaxabbath

Is this a Cameo commercial ?

fleshwound_NPG

the double doink and now the fail mooney

youd might think the gods are big mad at the bearisocrats, but both have granted the bears to tank the great tank, and as a bonus we all now have yinzers getting super mad at trubisky right now

Doktor Zymm

When you get a slightly used QB from the Bears you have to expect that it’s been redlined repeatedly and run with old onion ring oil flowing through the engine

blaxabbath

I believe NEW AGE MACBOOKPRO AI STATS BY PEPSI will support this claim, but Fail Mary is nonsense. The call is a fool’s errand and, while I saw it, the Hail Mary is a Hail Mary until it is a touchdown

Remember the Seahawks throwing that pick instead of handing it to Beastmode at the 1? That was a fucking failed play.

These Bears need to enjoy watching the stadium get built and hope they make that team.

Doktor Zymm

Or preferably end up on some better future team. The new stadium is going to be trash, the Fedex of the North.

blaxabbath

Think so?

Doktor Zymm

All of my experience of Chicago from my decade of living there screams ABSOLUTELY. The location alone is pretty awful, but when you factor in the sketchy construction situation, the corruption, the fact that they can’t even fill a small stadium right now, and how racist and fucked up the suburbs are, it’s a recipe for disaster.
