Your Thursday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Let’s get back on that damn horse, shall we?

Minutae:

-The Clipboardening: Joining the likes of Cutlets, Wilson, Howell and Ridder on the bench will be Nick “Rockabye” Mullens. Too many turnovers is his problem.

-Stroud is still having light sensitivity issues, can’t count his fingers, is unable to tell left from right but it looks as though he’ll be out there this weekend because ‘team’, ‘grit’ and possible playoff monies.

-Jaire Alexander is taking a one week break because of ‘conduct detrimental to the team’ (a phrase so vague it could cover changing the bathroom tissue roll to the ‘under’ position). One wonders why a guy that has been on the team that long and is that talented wasn’t a defensive captain in the first place.

To The Game!

Jets/Browns:

-That points-challenged New York team may not want to read that Cleveland gives up roughly 13 points a game on its home turf.

-Um, have the Browns become a much more interesting team to watch since Flacco joined the nest? They still can’t run the ball but Joe has been tossing it deep and it’s working.

-Not Helping: The Jets o-line has had a different starting lineup in 11 straight tilts. Myles Garrett and his soon-to-be-more 13 sacks will feast.

-Flacco has averaged 326 yards as a starter but the Jets haven’t allowed 300+ yards for 33 straight games. One would think that Amari is going to crash back to earth after having reached Icarusian heights last week.

-Jets must somehow make splash plays on 1st and 2nd down because their 25.5% success rate is the sixth-worst of all time.

Enjoy.

Replying to balance the count.

Posting to even up the score. And so I don’t get fined.

What the blue fuck? That is not the song I posted.

Whatever, this comment gets us one closer to a tie.

Is she singing this to Rikki or Son of Spam? Well, it’ll take a third mock draft to find that out!

Alamo Bowl is all tied up!

Horatio Cornblower

The threads are close as well!

Horatio Cornblower

THIS ALAMO BOWL I CALL IT THE 2020 ELECTION, BECAUSE I AM KARI LAKE, BATSHIT INSANE, FILMED IN SOFT FOCUS TO OBSCURE MY AGE, AND CLAIMING THAT FABRICATED CALLS AGAINST MT FAVORED TEAM/CANDIDATE ARE WHY WE MIGHT LOSE!!! ALSO BECAUSE, LIKE KARI LAKE, THIS JOKE HAS GONE ON SO LONG AS TO BECOME TIRESOME RATHER THAN ENTERTAINING BUT I HAVE NOTHING ELSE IN MY PATHETIC, GRIFTING LIFE TO CLING TO SO I WILL NEVER STOP!!!

Horatio Cornblower

We’re at 156 for both! No one comment anymore. Shut down your computers and await further orders!

bk109

…How about.. no?

ballsofsteelandfury

159!

Horatio Cornblower

No one ever listens to me, nor should they.

REMEBER THE ALAMO (BOWL DUAL THREAD)

We are trending, and I do not say this lightly, to ‘Full Plaid’ in the Alamo Bowl.

To our European brothers, you missed Cleveland looking like world beaters.

For a half.

bk109

I’m sorry, but why would we Europeans watch the Browns in the first place? If we’d like to watch dreary misery, punctuated by small moments of joy and quality we’d just watch the French Ligue 1?

ballsofsteelandfury

Says the Arsenal fan… 😂🤣

Horatio Cornblower

Motherfuc….

ballsofsteelandfury

🤣😂

bk109

Uhhh, that doesn’t change anything y’know. After all, with Arsenal I don’t expect joy, just pain, anguish and a rapidly crumbling hopes that at least once… just ONCE they won’t shit the bed during the flurry of games around the holidays

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Looking pretty balanced right about now.

Not posted yet? What a disappointment.

Thanks to peer pressure (from the other, perhaps heretic?) open thread…

Geeewd morning Vietnam DFO. Just wanted to pop in to wish all you filthy animals fine folks a happy New Years’. May all your wildest wishes and your enemies wildest nightmares come true. Ah, and a belated “Merry Christmas” for all of you that somehow managed to survive the day

ballsofsteelandfury

WhooHoo!!

24 unanswered now…

We’re early in the 3rd quarter but this Alamo Bowl has the potential for a solid banana cakes game.

WCS

It’s the Michael Andretti of bowl games.

Gotta make up some ground here…

Horatio Cornblower

Need to do it organically.

ballsofsteelandfury

The Fighting Blaxi are not doing well. They’ve given up 21 in a row.
