Your Sunday Night Football Open Thread

One for the road? Let’s do it!

To The Game!

Chiefs/Falcons:

-As predicted by many, Xavier Worthy came crashing down last week and had a very limited impact. He still got his measly three touches and amassed all of 22 yards.

-Mahomes is doing his usual thing and taking what the D is giving him but it’s resulted in the lowest air yards average of his career to date at 5.1. Surprisingly, the player that has benefitted the most is Rashee, not Kelce.

-Speaking of, Travis is off to a slow start and has a seven game regular season streak of being under 50 yards receiving. He hasn’t really been needed so far and I’m sure he’ll be a force in the bigger games. Otherwise he might just bump into Reid again.

-With Pacheco in a cast what cast of characters are now featured in the running game? Kareem Hunt is on the practice squad as he gets up to speed, retread Samaje Perine is doing whatever, future superhero Carson Steele was a major fantasy pickup and something called Keontay Ingram is taking up space on the roster.

-Cousins bounced back from a lousy week one display with a gutcheck last minute drive to steal a sure win from the Eagles. It looks like he’s rounding back into form.

-Bijan is doing the anticipated Bijan things, accruing 5.7 yards on average every time he touches the ball.

Let’s wind things up in style.

Wow, I’m impressed with Amazon’s “Discovery Mix”. Motley Crue, George Thorogood, ZZ Top…really digging up some obscure acts for me to enjoy.

WCS

Wait till it plays this obscure group called “The Beatles.”

yeah right

That train sound Atlanta uses is called the General Sherman, because it goes all the way to the sea.

Doktor Zymm

Do people not check their credit card statements?

Unsurprised

No

Mr. Ayo

I don’t.

Wakezilla

I do. Though, when I see the 21% interest rate fee, I always fight the urge to throw my electronic device

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

I found the Dean Spanos exhibit at the Zoo today.

LemonJello

End of half KC drive? That sound you hear is the safety coming off all the officials flags.

Doktor Zymm

Now THAT looks more like the Cousins we all know

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Did NFL officials baby Tom Brady as much as they baby Patrick Mahomes? You can see that defenders are afraid to do *anything* to him because they know they’ll get flagged.

Sharkbait

Brady definitely got his share of soft calls, but I feel like Mahomes and KC took it to the next level

Wakezilla

The reason why there weren’t as many flags because the O-Line was also allowed to hold to protect Timmy Brady

Unsurprised

Yes. The corollary being that they let defenders beat the dog shit out of Cam Newton.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That’s a good point, there was balance in the force.

Game Time Decision

Can we nominate Watson to get all the non calls?

Unsurprised

I’d rather see all QBs mashed into paste, but he’s a good place to start.

jjfozz

The NFL wants a three-peat more than Andy Reid wants to find an unguarded ribs buffet

Unsurprised

Mmmmmm. Ribs.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

God this feels like the Shaq/Rapist years of the Lakers.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I apologize, it’s disrespectful to refer to Kobe Bryant as a rapist in his current state (i.e. a coffee can full of ashes and gravel from the side of a mountain)

Wakezilla

Why would that be a pass? That’s a lateral, so it’d be a run

Doktor Zymm

Silly Bijan, you can’t use your feet in football!

SonOfSpam

He’s actually pointing to the rafters where he’s like to see the queers hanged.

LemonJello

THIS ATLANTA O LINE, I CALL THESE GUYS OVERPROTECTIVE ALABAMA UNCLES BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING THEIR BEST NOT TO LET THE PASS RUSH FUCK COUSINS.

Unsurprised

I love how Andy Reid pulls the fat guy move of leaving the polo untucked like it’s going to conceal that massive gut if it’s not overhanging the belt.

/does this all the time

SonOfSpam

I haven’t tucked in a shirt in many many pounds years.

Unsurprised

What kind of asshole schedules a wedding on Sunday in fall?

litre_cola

A dickhead or a college football fan?

Unsurprised

Same thing.

How are your guests expected to get drunk off their asses on a Sunday night?

Wakezilla

I’ve lived in mountain standard time for 6 years and I still haven’t gotten used to when SNF starts here, man. I’m still stuck on best coast time

Unsurprised

I’m sure Experian has nothing to do with that hike in insurance rates. Fucking company should have been dismantled and its executives should have been publicly hanged in 2009.

Kickoff should be from the kicking team’s own 10 yard line, but, whoever fields the ball for the receiving team has to start the next series at center.

herodotus450

missing an extra point should be negative one point, only way to force these risk-averse hippos you call head coaches to finally go for two

litre_cola

In the DFO fantasy leagues it is!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Ah I see someone breathed too hard on Mahomes after that throw.

Redshirt

Are they doing the summary execution right on the field or are they saving it for the next halftime show at Arrowhead?

LemonJello

SonOfSpam

Would think they’d do an autumnal execution considering the equinox.

litre_cola

Friends, I really don’t want to work tomorrow.

Mr. Ayo

Sorry to hear you’re feeling sick. Hope work understands.

Unsurprised

Or ever again

Sharkbait

I really need to hit Powerball

Redshirt

I’ll take 2nd place. I’m not greedy.

Gumbygirl

I’ll write you a note.

Unsurprised

If you push the Armed button in a Hummer, cannons should pop up

Unsurprised

These poor guys are still stuck with the same bullshit cutaways like that Justin Simmons thing. Sad.

WCS

Does Justin Simmons need to shatter Mahomes’ knee to unlock BERNARD POLLARD ACHIEVEMENT?

Unsurprised

Only one way to be sure

Where’s the KC mascot?

litre_cola

Jail. Robbed a bank.

Bogdanski

Thought he would cry

Doktor Zymm

Oh ow, I did nawt need to see that angle of Pacheco’s leg breaking

SonOfSpam

Fun fact – I broke my fibula when I got rolled up on when I was 20 and was at a Rush concert with lawn seating. Drunks (not me) were horseplaying. I spent my 21st birthday in Vegas in a cast.

NotShogunButShogun

Rush?! Did they apologize profusely and abuse “ou” rules?

LemonJello

Did the ambulance look like one of these:

SonOfSpam

It was weird; I was EXACTLY drunk enough to walk the half-mile back to my car, and EXACTLY sober enough to drive home. The next morning, the lower leg was…not the right size or shape.

jjfozz

You know that scene in game of thrones where they poured gold down that dude’s throat?

can we do that to Cris?

Unsurprised

I saw a tweet circulating that in medieval times they couldn’t spare oil, so they’d poor boiling shit on wall climbers.

Apropos of nothing, of course.

Unsurprised

It’s for the greater good

LemonJello

Mr. Ayo

Actually, they poured that melted gold over his head because he was begging for a crown.

But I like your idea even better.

SonOfSpam

Thank you for being that guy. It was bugging me.

Gumbygirl

Joffrey?

Mr. Ayo

Nope, Viserys. Daenerys brother.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I don’t know how many times I have to tell you this: S.A.P.

Sharkbait

You can take the team out of Arizona, but you can’t take the Arizona out of the team

This Rashee Rice can really weave in and out of traffic*.

*on the field, not the highway

SonOfSpam

On the highway, he’s Wild Rice.

“That’s an A+ pass.” Brady said this at least 10 times during the game today.

Gatoraids

tom brady games are always a pass for me

NotShogunButShogun

He’s always looking for the D

Doktor Zymm

I hope they bench him soon

Unsurprised

What is he, a Harvard professor?

Redshirt

Every day I slowly realize I have fewer and fewer football games to watch with my father. But even this game I bailed out on because of Brady.

Unsurprised

Oh wait. I understand Spanish.

See ya, collinsworth

¡Vuelve aquí, cobarde!

Mr. Ayo

Now that Emo Carr has abdicated his MVP duties, we have no choice but to award it to its rightful owner, Dingleberry.

Duh. Yes!

“If we lose this game, I will throw the dog through the window. I’m not fucking lying.”

Yes, the Ravens game was frustrating.

Did the dog live? John Wick would like to know

Unsurprised

The dog has mastered tuck and roll

Horatio Cornblower

They should make Carrie sing this stupid song live, every week, in the stadium before the game.

BeerBrother sent me a funny about whatever the fuck is going on in North Carolina.

Companies that send birthday emails without including at least a crappy coupon can fuck right off

Horatio Cornblower

I have not had enough water today. What if I mixed some with some hops and barley, do we think that would work?

Beerguyrob

I would fucking encourage that.

LemonJello

Try it and report back with your findings.

IT’S SCIENCE!

Doktor Zymm

Beer is supposed to be more hydrating than water if you have one or two after exercise, I think you should see if that applies in other situations too!

LemonJello

Luda!

Good idea to hydrate after a long day

Despite having Rashee, Bijan, and Buttface, I don’t think there’s any way for me to win in my money league, so I guess go Atlanta?

I remember that one well, despite the name

Beerguyrob

I have a jar of Tramadol at home that will take that bet next week.

NotShogunButShogun

Has anyone crushed the money v. mediocrity meter more than Cousins? In guaranteed money that is.

Mr. Ayo

Handyman Watson perhaps?

Doktor Zymm

Very generous to call him mediocre tho

ThurberHerder

Sam Bradford used to be the old reference, but I’m not sure if he even qualify as mediocre

Gatoraids

Flacco got paid 8.7 mil this year

NotShogunButShogun

Damn near 200 million without proof of product says he wins
