Your Xmas Day Miracle Upset/Blowout. There Is No In-Between

That’s what the football gods sayeth in what passes for my brain.

To The Game!

Giants/Eagles:

-Dallas dropped the ball yesterday but it doesn’t seem to mean that much given that Philly just needs to get a win under their belt against a team that they dominate on the regular.  Also, Dallas plays the Lions next week and if the latter loses the Eagles get the #2 spot. Despite their troubles it seems likely that they’ll win out. (Giants X2 and the Cards are left to play)

-That said, since their bye they’ve scored over 21 points only the one time. Opposing teams haven’t figured out the “Tush Push” but they have parsed out a lot of other things..

-Cutlets has an improbable 8-1 TD/INT ratio as a starter. Yeah, I don’t get what’s going on either. He stunk up the joint at SillyCuse and did little better at Illinois. Ok, do I have to say something positive? All right. Boy, can that kid ever take a sack.

-That three game win streak was only remotely possible because the defense took the ball out of the opposing team’s hands an astounding 12 times and gave it back to the offense.

-Who is that lurking around the corner looking for a Christmas treat? Goddamn it, it’s Boston Scott looking to pad his stats. Here we go again…

-The Giants do lead the league in one category-highest negative points differential.

Type your best.

That is some Dallas Cowboy time management right there, and I do not mean that as a compliment.

Horatio Cornblower

Eagles defender literally punched the Giants receiver in the face.

No call.

When did the Iggles colonize Ghana? Is Gov. Rhodes aware??

Horatio Cornblower

In your heart, you know I’m right.

Horatio Cornblower

We talk a lot about the Giants poor offensive play, but let’s not forget that their defense is also poor.

Horatio Cornblower

SUDDEN REASON FOR GIANTS HOPE!!!

Which is, of course, what kills them.

King Hippo

Slice up some bananas for that scotch tumbler!

My son got me a new set of billiard balls. He’s colorblind, and these are granite-colored, just solid or with a black stripe.

About to go break them in, but am already protesting the unfair advantage he has.

herodotus450

if the color blind test in school involved a game of billiards, I mighta paid more attention

Horatio Cornblower

I play occasionally and except for the odd hot streak am mediocre at best.

My kid plays for table rights in bars.

I am not going to win.

Hassan Reddick is the king of going unblocked somehow.

King Hippo

he majored in camoUflage at Temple ,, ppl forget that

3rd and 1, 4th and 1. Gotta lean on Tyrod’s arm. SMRT.

King Hippo

Whatever one can say about Daboll, you know he’s not betting the cover.

Horatio Cornblower

The Eagles defense is having a tough time stopping the Giants because they game-planned for an incompetent opposing QB and are unable to adjust to the presence of a semi-competent QB.

Family visits are done and all very nice by my Xenu do I enjoy that part of Christmas when you get home and it’s all over.

HOW THE FUCK YOU DOIN’, BOYS!?!?

This game is a paradox because this game is the in between.

King Hippo

but it still could easily diverge, to either pole

King Hippo

at this point, Bucs/#ThePauls in the Owl would be less surprising than an Iggles/Chefs repeat

yeah right

All four of the right brothers gathered on a Christmas day under the same roof and we’re all doing well.

Very cool stuff.

The departed parents must have some teary eyes somewhere.

Merry Christmas everyone!

King Hippo

Do you believe in scotch-hued miracles??

Wow, Jimmy Fallon rapping. I think we could find our new LBDC.

Is DeVito hurt or bad?

yeah right

Yes.

Madre Weaselo hears Snoopy’s Christmas, we’re good!

hippofant

Wow, that QB change made all the difference. Tyrod is so much better at handing the ball off to Barkeley.

hippofant

why is Zaccheaus?

King Hippo

The only good thing to cross the screen today is the existence of a new “True Detective” series.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I disagree, seeing that Patrick Mahomes pass cross the screen from right to left and then Jack Jones cross the screen from left to right with the ball was absolutely a good thing.

King Hippo

I do like the cut of your coach’s jib.

Every time I see that, “Chevy Suburban cures Alzheimers” commercial, I get more annoyed.

I have pumpkin muffins. I guess if I puke one up, it will at least taste ok? Let’s find out!

Toking up not helping?

I am not a fan of all these receiver tracing lines they’re putting on the broadcast. They’re a lot of visual clutter.

Don’t mind the name highlights pre-snap, but a couple of seconds after the snap, the whole field looks like bright red lines.

Well, the Knicks won, so at this point most of the New York contingent would be thinking house money with the Giants.
