Your Thursday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Welcome back folks and folkesses! This game may not be very many people’s cup of tea but we were gifted a 5 game late slate and two games on Monday night so the universe is just righting itself again. These Giants and Cowboys-I don’t think they’ve ever both been good at the same time for any extended period of time? NY was horrible in the 60’s and 70’s and then when the Parcells era came along Dallas was in their post-Staubach phase. Then when Jimmy Johnson came around the Giants were handed off to Ray Handey. I guess there was a period when Romo and Eli co-existed-that was fun. Ah well.

Notes:

Foot In Mouth Disease?:

I think that’s what Deshaun Watson might have. Commenting about designed runs he ventured-“I’m not a running back”. Well, listen, when you’re playing as badly as you are somebody should be advising you to say you’re all about the team and you’ll do anything to win. Thing is, he leads the team in yards per carry and actually has more total yards after contact than Jerome Ford on far less carries.

Back In The Folds:

That would be one KHunt. He’s been elevated from the practice squad to the 53 man roster. It was a long six years but we’re all aware of Andy’s philosophy when it comes to players, “The devil you know”.

To The Game!

Cowboys/Giants:

-not looking forward to this-it ain’t pretty

-Dak is 12-2 vs the Giants

-Dallas has won six straight and is 13-1 in their last 14 vs this squadoo.

-Lamb only has 13 grabs so far but Deonte Banks isn’t a #1 cornerback but he plays one on the Giants defense. I was hoping that Adoree Jackson could catch time in a bottle and help to bottle him but he’s a scratch this evening.

-Dallas has trouble running the ball-I guess that’s what naturally occurs when you go “All In” with a Zeke/Rico backfield.

-Dimes has gone two (2!) whole games without tossing a pick.

-The Giants D hasn’t sacked a Dallas QB since December 19, 2021.

-89-17 was the combined score between these teams last year.

-Singletary will rush for a TD and fumble the ball for the third straight game because that’s what he does.

Have a good time out there. I won’t.

yeah right

Ŵow.

Hell of a way to put a cap on the vacation.

Don’t tell me the score of the game! I’m watching it in the morning.

It was about 2 songs in to Johnny Marr and I looked at TAJ and said “Holy shit. Now we’re at a concert”.

Mind fucking blown.

James killed it tonight. Fucking downtown LA is waking up.
The taco carts have neon lights!

Steered clear of the Danger Dogs but they smelled incredible.

“Jesus who? Don’t know Him. Maybe I spoke to Him at rally, but no, don’t know Him. I bet Joe Biden and Kamala Harris stole his wallet. Nobody steals wallets like them, right folks? But Jesus, don’t know Him. I bet he’ll ask for my endorsement, though. No one does endorsements like me. Jesus didn’t ask Kalama Biden or Joe Harris for their endorsements, but He asked me. What a great guy.”

It was pretty chaotic in here for a while. Now? Boredom may be setting in…

2Pack

As a public service and to help you all decompress after that thrilling NFL contest, I have a question for the group. A couple of times a week I meet Wifey for lunch. I pack it at the house. Wifey likes an apple with her lunch. In the past I noticed that the apple was frequently bruised by the car ride and/or morning 2Pack hustle and bustle. A bubble wrap packing envelope of perfect size came with a recent shipment that I have started using to pack the apple. No more brusies. Wifey laughs and points out my OCD tendencies. I simply point to improvement.

Your thoughts?

I think you solved a problem. You should be commended for it.

2Pack

Validation. Thank you fellow non linear thinker.

My favorite Oakland A’s memory:

Horatio Cornblower

The A’s had a AA team in Waterbury, CT back when I was a wee Cornblower in 1979. I still have a pennant my father got me to stop my incessant whining.

Figures a law talkin’ guy used The Caillou System of childrening.

Watching the “highlights” of the Dallas game and man am I glad I watched baseball tonight.

SonOfSpam

You missed two TDs and eight FG attempts. And something like 463 flags.

RIVETING.

that was a really nfc eastiest thursday night game

Downfield Matriculator

So after SHAN’KLOR lor afflicted the Cowboys kicker, does BLEERGH give Danny Dimes and endzone PI call to run it in from the 1 or a holding call and ten-second runoff to end the game?

Downfield Matriculator

Boring interception — they cannot even fuck up in an exciting way

Sharkbait

Sudden change?

Col. Duke LaCross

There was your official “AlMichaels alludes to the spread” line of the week.

UH OH

I’m sure there’s contractual language that prevents this, but if I’m an Oakland A’s player I’d declare myself a free agent the moment they stopped being the Oakland A’s.

herodotus450

I said nothing, when they came for the Golden State Warriors, because I was not a fan;
I said nothing, when they came for the Oakland Raiders, because I was not an ex-con;
I said nothing, when they came for the Oakland Seals, because they played in the Pacific time zone, the worst of all time zones.
So when they came for the Oakland A’s, there was no one lest to say anything.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oakland Raiders fans are pretty experienced at exercising their right to remain silent.

quiet qutting… this generation…

Ballgame.

Downfield Matriculator

JFC, this game is terrible. Whether or not the final score is unique, the McCarthy vs. Daboll game calling has led us to Bore-igami
