Your Five Game NFL Slate Afternoon Open Thread

To The Games!

Saints/Chargers:

Olave is back but the presence of Rattler puts a hard ceiling on his ability to produce. LA seems ok at 3-3 but there are cracks showing-they’ve been outscored 55-34 in the second half and have yet to score a TD in the 4th quarter in five straight games. Despite Harbaugh’s efforts, Herbert threw for over 300 yards last week.

Bills/Seahawks:

Josh has yet to throw an INT this year! Amari had 66 and a TD during his debut-it’s just that easy to upgrade your wr room if you want to. Wasn’t that what everyone was saying at the start of the year? I mean, Curtis Samuel, really? With rook Coleman being freed of the #1 cb expect more 125 yard games like last week. Metcalf has a sprained MCL so I doubt the staff will trot him out there this week.

Panthers/Broncos:

I do these things every week yet I was surprised to see that Denver is above .500. And they’ve beaten the Raiders, Saints and Bucs by an average of 19 points! Things are looking even better what with Carolina and confidence-less Bryce Young being served up on a platter.

Chiefs/Raiders:

K.C. will win this one of course but when does Patty course correct his tendency to throw pics? He’s got 8 so far to go with his piddly 6 TD’s. Thank god the refs are in the team’s back pocket. Kelce has yet to score-is he waiting for the stretch run?

Bears/Commies:

It’s been forever since a Chi/Wash. game was compelling or relevant but here we are. Both teams are doing great against the spread as well-the visitors today are 4-1-1 and the homers are 5-2. Caleb seems to be in the process of turning things around-in his most recent three wins he’s had 7 TD’s and only the 1 INT.

thoroughly bourgeois performance by Chi****

Cecil Rhodes

Let’s all raise a glass of sherry to my colleague Ladd McConkey! What an outstanding snatch and dash to reward his squadron with an extra 7 points! Tally-ho!

Mr. Ayo

Fun fact: 5 is the 3rd most likely Scorigami score, trailing only 1 and 4. Which adds up to 5.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

To Dok’s question and Rikki’s parental dialogue, this classic was seen as highly effective in its time and clearly still relevant:

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Hard to believe this one wasn’t satire

https://youtu.be/2cwqHB6QeUw?si=VQpFjsgkk8l0AH2y

Doktor Zymm

Oh I’ve seen this one, it’s a classic and i think futurama has parodies it although that might just be in my imagination

ThePirateSloth

Yea, turning this shit performance off.

Mr. Ayo

Yep. Off to get 1st dinner for me.

Mr. Ayo

Not ideal fat man sudden change.

ThePirateSloth

I have 2 cats and 2 dogs laying/sleeping on me and my blanket. I haven’t been able to get up for 45 mins to get a beer.

Send help.

Mr. Ayo

I’m sending thoughts and prayers. Good luck.

Unsurprised

Sorry. I’m not leaving the house. It’s too shitty out there. See you come …

2028?

Doktor Zymm

I bought some military surplus drones and I’m trying to convert them to beer delivery but I haven’t quite figured out how to override their original programming of just murdering entire families so can’t help quite yet

Unsurprised

Buy Russian next time

Unsurprised

(I mean, comparatively speaking. Or pre-Kursk Ukrainian.)

Doktor Zymm

I tried that and just ended up with a bunch of boudoir photography of Putin and a coup in Western Africa

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’d have thought you’d ask us to send beer.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Ugh, getting Northern Virginia political ads suuuucks

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Oh good, Maryland senate ads too.

Doktor Zymm

Has there ever been a non-shitty political ad?

BrettFavresColonoscopy
Doktor Zymm

Oh that’s right! Caleb is from the DC area

King Hippo

Dan Quinn has Ekeler in fantasy

King Hippo

Brady is noticeably worse this week. Maybe he has a cold, or just got some bad trucker speed.

Doktor Zymm

I assume being part owner of the Raiders comes with a solid hookup for bad trucker speed amongst other things, so might be he’s assimilating

King Hippo

It would be funny if he slowly morphed into HI I’M MARK DAVIS‘s clone

ArmedandHammered

A mini-me type deal.

Doktor Zymm

I can’t wait till he gets the haircut!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Maybe he’s nervous about an upcoming court date, which I assume is also part of the new owner welcome package.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Has he criticized anyone yet that he isn’t allowed to as an “owner”

King Hippo

If the Commies continue to show out, Hippo might have to resuscitate his failed NFL Commissioner Uncle Joe Stalin kharacter.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Welp, I tried to convince my dad in Florida to vote for Harris. The only positive thing I can say about the conversation is that we didn’t end up yelling at each other.

King Hippo

Will he vote against that ghoul Rick Scott at least?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

In his mind, he’s voting against Kamala (she’s “two-faced”), not for Trump. So I’m sure he’s cooked up a reason why he dislikes Scott’s opponent. I didn’t even want to touch whether he’ll vote for Gaetz; that really *would* have ended in shouting.

Doktor Zymm

Did you point out that Trump has 3 chins and chins are part of the face? Get him to vote third party at least

Unsurprised

Judge Doom-looking morherfucker

BrettFavresColonoscopy

“Dad, maybe voting isn’t for everyone”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That’s the best I can hope for; that he’ll take my argument about Trump wanting revenge on blue states (that all his children and grandchildren live in) to heart and just skip voting entirely.

King Hippo

We could have a Dolly Parton HT score in LA!

Mr. Ayo

40-DD?

Looks more like a Superb Owl number.

ThePirateSloth

It’s National Tight Ends Day?

Ok

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Pretty sure every day is tight ends day for him

yeah right

My favorite taco shop in all of LA.

But, guys?

About that logo?

Unsurprised

The light skin is to be inclusive to guero customers

yeah right

Makes sense because I’m guero as FUCK!

Unsurprised

We thank you for your support

TAYLOR SWIFT ESCALATES

Mr. Ayo

Why didn’t they show TayTay?

Is she not there?

Are they breaking up?

What’s happening here?

King Hippo

Glad I have some billable work to do while I mostly ignore SNF.

Also, where did this Commies defensing unit come from??

Doktor Zymm

No idea! I’m toying with the possibility that Dan Quinn is actually a really good coach. It’s a bunch of kids, so I guess they’re living up to their potential or something odd like that

King Hippo

You never know, some dudes really DO learn from the first go-round. Todd Bowles doing pretty well, too.

Unsurprised

Stalingrad

ThePirateSloth

Can we Seahawks fans vote players off the team at halftime?

Doktor Zymm

When the NFL eventually hits a downward slide and merges with American Idol or whatever that will be a great feature

Mr. Ayo

I’ve got a CVS receipt sized list ready.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Oh, shit, I’m supposed to care about this game. Fine, tuning in to Bears v Commies

King Hippo

all hail teh DIALECTIC!

Doktor Zymm

I’m gonna go ahead and declare next Sunday National Zymm’s fantasy team players day just in case it works out like this tight ends day thing

Mr. Ayo

*checks vodka league schedule*

Not reverend?

fleshwound_NPG

thought bears vs commies was decided in 1917

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Still a battle for hearts and minds in SF

Unsurprised

All the SF commies became libertarian techbros

ThePirateSloth

When I have wet balls, the best place to throw them is certainly inside.

ArmedandHammered

WTF Allen?

just as digestible

ArmedandHammered

as the real thing, I meant to add

yeah right

But I fucking love haggis.

litre_cola

I also love haggis.

ArmedandHammered

Then you must have had a much better one than I had in Ireland.

litre_cola

There is your 1st problem. Ireland.

Unsurprised

The last Carolina Denver game I remember was a Super Bowl. Life comes at you fast.

ThePirateSloth

I really did not think my hatred of Tom Brady could get any stronger until I had to listen to him call a Seahawks game. I should’ve gone to this game simply so I didn’t have to listen to this asshole.

Unsurprised

SAP option?

ThePirateSloth

I’d rather listen to a Dan Fouts, Joe Buck, and Tony Siragusa booth.

Unsurprised

It hits even harder now, but David Cross has a great line: “I’d rather listen to the death rattle of my only child.”

Doktor Zymm

Legit

Unsurprised

Washington need all GOLD uniforms

Doktor Zymm

I’ll sign that petition

Mr. Ayo

Welp. Fuck me.

Unsurprised

Josh Allen didn’t have an interception until now? We are in the darkest timeline

King Hippo

Skerry Terry on teh Sex Cannon play!!!

I could die happy if Saints/Clips ended 3-2.

PUNT COVERAGE WOO!

King Hippo

Nix is really, really stupid.

The Maestro

You’re telling me that a grown man named Bo is dumb as hell? I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you!

King Hippo

as a Son of teh South, ah would NEVAR criticize Bo or Luke Duke

/or ESPECIALLY Daisy

Unsurprised

Bo Jackson is still alive, bro

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I can’t speak to Bo’s intelligence, but guys who keep their mouth shut (as he generally does) always come across as much more intelligent than guys who yap all the time.

We can start referring to a really dumb play as a “bonix”.

The Maestro

Afternoon, all. The New York Jets lost yet again to New England. Life is good.

Redshirt

Burn it down! MAGA! Bring back Shula!

But Qaron lost, so there is a silver lining in this shitstorm.

ArmedandHammered

i held my nose and cheered for them. I am so tainted now.

Minshew Mania is back in Vegas? On purpose?

Doktor Zymm

Hey, Bryce Young did a thing!

rockingdog

Is Bo Nix good??

Doktor Zymm

Sorta? He’s nawt awful

Mr. Ayo

He’s not rocking certainly.

Gatoraids

so far hes a Goonie

King Hippo

Very not. He’s a good scrambler is all.

Doktor Zymm

Ugh, it’s the worst Washington unis

Doktor Zymm

Although if looking like the Steelers helps the defense I guess I’m ok with that

Unsurprised

They need all-good unis

Redshirt

It’s like someone screenshot the Adobe with the name clicked on and highlighted but they used it anyway.

Doktor Zymm

Feel like Bills@Seabirds must be a fun crowd

Mr. Ayo

PirateSloth is great.

Asshole with eight (8) season tickets that sat next to me last night at the KRAKEN game not offering me a seat today is the opposite argument.

ThePirateSloth

They’d have thrown me out of the stadium due to my cussing out the Seahawks after that NFL BLITZ 3rd and goal bullshit.

Mr. Ayo

Hot take: Sydney Sweeney in a bubble bath is a great marketing strategy.

Do you want me to gif bomb this thread? Because I can do rhat. I have tons of shit to do but I am an idiot.

THIS NEW ENGLAND FRANCHISE LEMME TELL YA I CALL THEM SAUDI NATIONALS BECAUSE THEY DESTROYED SOME NEW YORK JETS AND IT HAS GIVEN US A PATRIOTS DAY ON THE CALENDAR

Doktor Zymm

When I checked my fantasy teams I was 2% and 3% so despite quite a few players to go I’m gonna ignore fantasy for the rest of the day. Here’s to the late window not sucking!

Doktor Zymm

Also, still in for Survivor, tied with the other 15k or so remaining in the ESPN overall competition

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

BAHAHAHAHA stupid jets

Senor Weaselo

When the Yankees lose a game late on a big score I consider it a crushing disappointment.

When the Jets lose a game late on a big score I call it par for the fucking course.
