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.

Fans: “Its 4th and Inches.”
Morris: “Yup.”
Fans: “The ball is placed a few inches from the Line to Gain.”
Morris: “Yup.”
Fans: “Since you only need to gain a few inches, a HB Dive or a QB sneak would likely be successful here.”
Morris: “That makes sense to me.”
Fans: “Then what is your play?”
Morris: “I’m going to run the ball 15 yards sideways three yard behind the line of scrimmage.”

No shit. The play before wasn’t much better.

There’s the Falconing we were waiting for.

Welp, cudos to the dirty birds for keeping it close

Doktor Zymm

Welp, that was anticlimactic

blaxabbath

Quite the call.

LemonJello

Probably 12 or 13 Chefs on the field for that stop.

Redshirt

Bad spot ending?

Redshirt

…or Peak Atlanta Ending.

Mr. Ayo

Simultaneous timeouts! Tie goes to the home team?

Redshirt

Why say “left in regulation”? How can a tie game be possible when down by 5?

WCS

The single-greatest, DERPiest sequence to lead to a tie in history.

Seriously. Does this look like a man who gives a fuck about the next 11 months?

LemonJello

All these KC defensive penalties can only be setting is up for a hilarious plot twist!

Redshirt

Time to hope this game ends like a Family Reunion in West Virginia does with Cousins scoring.

WCS

Et tu, redshirt?

Redshirt

I was independent but watching that no call in the endzone brought me on the Falcon bandwagon. Which should curse them but let’s not dwell on that too much.

WCS

I meant the subtle dig at WVU, you Bearcat/Buckeye/Bungle bastard.

Redshirt

Well, Kentucky doesn’t matter about distance in the family tree, so WV was Plan B.

BugEyedBoo

Bearcat Bungle Buckeye bastard bashes backwoods breeding brouhaha.

Gumbygirl

Beautiful, Boo!

Bully, Boo! Bully!

Mr. Ayo

Dingleberry MVP incoming!

Redshirt

If this was the Super Bowl, I’d walk my team off the field after that no call. Why delay the coronation?

Unsurprised

Consider these sock

I know about that one Cris. No crew is gonna call PI on KC in the endzone in the 4th quarter.

Ugh this two-day old wine sucks. Gonna need some whiskey to wash the taste out of my mouth.

Stupid question:

Is there a difference between the following:

1. Off sides
2. Encroachment
3. Neutral zone infraction

BugEyedBoo

Yes.

Mr. Ayo

Or course

Redshirt

Depends on how it affects the Chiefs.

Man that is one ATL looking officiating crew.

WCS

No facemask?

WCS

Guess not.

blaxabbath

Not when the game is going at a good clip.

WCS

Weren’t letting that one fly.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I hope I don’t get canceled for saying this but the current season of Elité has way too much gay porn for my tastes.

WCS

Is every Hotlanta offensive player’s fingers broken?

blaxabbath

When will Penix see the field?!

Sharkbait

Carson Steele as Michael Penix Jr in…

Megatron’s Butthole

Gatoraids

depends on results of the Malt Liquor Survey

Game Time Decision

Why is every shot of the Atlanta coach, him looking at the replay, with a confused look on his face?

blaxabbath

“I still can’t believe I’m coaching for the Atlanta Falcons…..is all.”

LemonJello

He working off an older version of tonight’s script?

Sharkbait

Record scratch

Yup, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation

What the cinnamon toast fuck was THAT?

blaxabbath

Now that the field goal is basically automatic — how is the rules committee going to sexy/safety it up?

Sharkbait

Bring back vaulting over the line!

WCS

Rouges on kickoffs, four-pointers for any kick over 65.

WCS

And just because I’ve always wanted to see it, five points for using a kicking tee and beyond 75.

Game Time Decision

Kick must be done with high heels on
Awoooooooooo
-Rex Ryan

Redshirt

Steal from Arena Football and put net around entire back of endzone, including the goalposts. Ball remains live and can be played off the net.

LemonJello

If you can knock the ball down with a t-shirt cannon, it’s a live ball.

Doktor Zymm

I still want to see extra points kicked at lateral point where the td went in

Doktor Zymm

Is it just me or are a lot of helmets coming off this year?

LemonJello

NFL medical staff feels it’s safer*, probably.

*for the helmet

blaxabbath

Gets another .51 games out of each helmet, on average.

Unsurprised

HGH made their heads too big to fit properly

Brocky

I just said the same thing

Enjoy your hammock, especially if you bought it in The Hammock District.

Damn, was hoping for another Buttface field goal

Tonight we are all Falcons fans, as Atlanta is letting us all down.

2016 all over again

Kyle Shanahan. World class bad dresser.

Sharkbait

HAHAHA Fuck you Harrison

LemonJello

DOINK! makes his presence known. PRAISE BE!

blaxabbath

Does anyone notice that the NFL isn’t catching PED use anymore?

Sure it’s nothing….

Wakezilla

On an unrelated note, 30 years ago, 40 yard field goals weren’t seen as automatic, and 50 yarders might as be hail Marys. Now, 55 yards and less seem to be chip shots.

David Boston memorial post

Unsurprised

Is that a bad thing?

blaxabbath

Not at all. But it does make me roll my eyes at these, “How has he had such on/off years?!”

Because he’s cycling….or however it works.

Doktor Zymm

For some reason this game is making me want to brush my teeth

LemonJello

Collinsworth’s inane gibberish has been known to leave a bad taste in the mouth of those he inflicts his drivel upon.

Too early to start the Bijan MVP Hype Train?

Still not “discovering” anything, but at least Amazon played something that truly rocked. Also, why is this song only four minutes long, it should be like fourteen.

Falcons owner Arthur Blank inducting Arthur Blank into the Falcons Hall of Fame.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Kiss, Black Sabbath, Twisted Sister…thanks Amazon for introducing me – a time traveler from the 1700’s, as your algorithm apparently shows – to rock music!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s like, the music in this playlist isn’t at all *that* bad, but I didn’t select “Discovery Mix” because I wanted to listen to fucking Quiet Riot or Poison or Ratt.

Sharkbait

Did Arthur Blank go down to the field level early for his ring of honor induction?

Unsurprised

I just had another realization about ten years of my life wasted. Fuck.

Wakezilla

That sucks. How did you come to this realization?

Unsurprised

Long story. Similar to one I had a year ago. It’s just that I don’t have any future with something, but that ship started sailing long ago.

Doktor Zymm

Nawt a 25 point lead so the Falcons have a chance

Sharkbait

28-3 will never not be funny.
