Scoregasm Alert! Your Rams/Lions Wildcard Game Open Thread

Moving along. We’ve got more work to do.

To The Game!

Rams/Lions:

-Look at that gorgeous 51.5 O/U! Just as long as it’s not done by one team though. (Final Score 9-3)

-Please Stop: Much will be made of the qb matchup but these fellas have played against one another already. (But it’s the playoffs!, totally different)

-Dichotomy Time: Campbell is your typical old-timey “knock their heads off” kind of coach but he certainly has paid some attention to analytics in that he goes for it on 4th down quite often. As a matter of fact the Lions 34% led the league this year. Of course, with a defense that is so porous, he needs to give his offense more opportunities to score.

-Speaking of, success vs Nacua and Kupp is going to be a game-decider-the Lions have been penalized on passing plays 29 times this year.

-One guy that’s holding up his end is Aidan Hutchinson. I made fun of the media hyping him early in the season when he didn’t have a sack to his name but he’s come on strong, wracking up 5 in the last two games along with a fumble recovery and a 19% pass rush success rate.

-Tight End Talk: Both Higbee and LaPorta are listed as questionable. One is far more intrinsic to his team’s success and I wonder about him. With a hyper-extended knee and a bone bruise, just how much will he be able to do on the field? How well will he be able to run routes? Or is he out there to act as a decoy so that St. Brown can have more room to maneuver? We’ll see.

-I said as early as the 4th week of the season that if things fell right the Rams could be that sneaky good team that gets far because their strengths are so hard to counteract. (felt the same way about Philly for a few weeks also. Oops.) Well, Fatt, Puca, Cooper, Kyren and Aaron, time to prove me right.

Have at it.

I’m rooting for the Lions because they have the courage to keep ‘It Takes All Of Us’ in the back of their end zones even in a supposedly competitive environment.

That one was a homage to Detroit Lion history.

what a fucking moron

Horatio Cornblower

Wow, a shootout in Detroit, just like the Republicans predicted.

A vote for defunding the police is a vote against Robocop and John McClane. People forget that.

A little Boogie Nights disco music on that outro . . .

Godspeed, Dok!

They closed it again, but we just had some crew show up and waiting for one more, so still looking good for boarding soon!

That’s what I was thinking

Seriously thought, i guess I just assumed they only used these for county fairs and the like, why would they be transporting it?

As that Nakua touchdown pass was in the air, I was wondering to myself how many Chiefs receivers I would believe would catch that.

TheRevanchist

1.5 total.

Game Time Decision

There really needs to be the option to listen just to the crowd noise in the game, instead of the announcing crew. Watching the KC game last night, Mrs GTD, who isn’t a football fan at all, said that the announcers were annoying and useless

“Yeah but, since the call on the field was incomplete, there has to be clear and present evidence to overturn it, you see”

Oh, WE CAN HAZ COMPETITIVE GAME tonight!

Reminds me of that stupid “he’ll never sleep again” ad where the kid’s such a pussy he’s terrified of podcasts about bearsquatchs.

Just leave your spawn in the woods and start over, weird commercial people.

The post pic up there of Nacua makes him seem like the American football version of Danny Rojas.

The inbound made it to the gate! My flight will probably actually board in 14 minutes!

Instead of giving the finger or screaming at shithouse drivers, I just give them the thumbs down it makes them way more angry. Decilitre has started doing it too from the back seat. People do NOT like it.

Doktor Zymm

I do a friendly wave. I’m amazed I haven’t been shot yet

Game Time Decision

I give a thumbs up, people don’t like it either

Demoralizing is more hurtful than an insult 🤣🤣

My dad was an incredibly bad driver, he used to get flipped off all the time. He’d get a huge smile on his face, and say
” that guy thinks I’m number 1!”

I was on the sidewalk watching a woman parallel park HEAD FIRST between two other horribly parallely parked cars. I started laughing at how atrocious they all were, she rolled down the window and asked what was so funny, I told her, and she got so mad and protested that “This isn’t funny!”

Horatio Cornblower

I got a video from my son yesterday thanking me for showing him how to change a tire, and that he has just used that to help a stranded woman change a flat. Then he said “she might not make it home tonight, and that’s on you.”

I have never showed him how to change a tire.

Rams D with a page out of the Cowboys D book.

That book is Poor Tackling Concepts.

DAMN YOU Litre, I been thinking about #ShamePizza all day.

Hell yeah!!! Get your abomination no cheese pizza you anti-Lactite.

King Hippo

Mmmmmm, double old world pepperoni, double sauce. Dripping with cholesterol goodness.

Horatio Cornblower

Counterpoint: There is no shame in pizza.

Unless it’s some shit like Domino’s or, God and Sonny Jesus forbid, Papa John’s.

King Hippo

Coach Parcells always said kicking FGs gets you 3 points closer to losing.

He also would have had…things to say about Vietnam and China playing in the Asian championships.

Nagasaki wasn’t enough, etc…

So….can we talk about that velvet smoking jacket Ms. Stark is wearing? I can’t decide if an abomination or secret fashion genius.

I used to have a maroon velvet jacket with embroidery on it. Verra fancy. Gumby called it my Keith Richards jacket.

Gotta get someone to switch this tv from whatever dumb talent show this is to the game, a completely different and better dumb talent show!

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Oh, you get the hoodie from the ’96 Chevy
That you bought Super Bowl 30 eve
Charles Haley humps the front porch
Larry Allen run blocks
And Bayless thinks Troy Aikman is gay

Almost all of your laundry
Are from wins over the Bills
Where is my JonBenet?
Where’s my Dole/Kemp decal?
Deion has a happy ending
But where have all the Cowboys gone?

Why don’t you stay the evening
Watch ‘America’s Team’ on TV
Smoke what Nate Newton gave to me
Oh, I know Irvin’s back hurts
From fucking all the crack whores
I think it’ll burn when he pees

Guatemalan children
Have shirts of ‘4-Peat Bills’
Where is my JonBenet?
Where’s my Dole/Kemp decal?
Deion has a happy ending
But where have all the Cowboys gone?

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

I can’t find my new dress tonight?
“Pawned for a photo of Jimmy”

Say our goodbyes
Say our goodbyes
Say our goodbyes

We finally get Chan Gailey cause Switzer is a baby
And the Oilers go to Tennessee
Tom Landry buys the farm
And you curse Quincy Carter every single autumn week

Over Chili’s dishes
You call T.O. a queer
Where is my JonBenet?
Where is my Dole/Kemp decal?
Deion has a happy ending
But where have all the Cowboys gone?

The Maestro

If you’re not rooting for the Lions to win this one, you don’t have a heart.

If you’re not also expecting for them to somehow screw this one up, you don’t have a brain.

Fun Fact: “Lamb Anytime” is what Andy Reid replies when asked if he’d like a light snack.

Erin Andrews asking how Green Bay scored so much on the Dallas D as if Dak isn’t directly responsible for 14 of those points.

I will heartedly laugh if the Packers are the only NFC North team alive next weekend.

Next weekend they ded.

Have to root for Detroit for Superb Owl Revenge Reasons.

Sorry Lions fans.

Could be worse, I suppose. You could be rooting for a team from Ohio. Those teams are terrible.
