Your Monday Night Football Open Thread

We’re back! This here is your one-stop shop for scatter-brained observations-in the post and in the comments! That’s how we give back to the internet community.

It’s here-The Teams Heading In Opposite Directions Bowl. One team has a has-been at qb, the other a never-was. I guess the challenge for these teams is to provide entertaining football for one quarter and a bit and even that seems a bit much.

Minutiae:

-Here’s something from college ball that I came across-The Miami Hurricanes have had only 3 three-and-outs the entire season. That’s remarkable.

-Both the Pats and Jets have secured themselves high draft picks due to yesterday’s result, isn’t that wonderful?

-Tyrique Stevenson said the obvious: “I screwed up.” He wasn’t clear if it was regarding him not covering his assignment Noah Brown, getting called for PI earlier in the game, giving up a long pass to McLaurin or that other thing.

-Both the Pats and Steelers season-high scoring totals occurred vs the Saleh-less Jets.

-Hold on to your man boobs-the Falcons are the #3 seed in the NFC.

-Here they go again-the Chiefs won the Matt Uche Sweepstakes. With Patty playing the way he is, this will buy him a bit more time.

To The Game!

Giants/Steelers:

-Does Wilson’s quality play last week negate the previous two year’s work in Denver?

-Or does he just respond better to guttural chants accompanied by the clinking of shrunken skulls (Tomlin) rather than constant berating? (Payton)

-Credit to Daboll, despite the record he’s staved off the “FIRE HIM!” talk yet again.

-By playing in this game Cam Heyward will pass Donnie Shell as the Steelers leader in defensive players total games played.

-Pickens should have a day-he’ll be covered by Deonte Banks who is not remotely a #1 cb and who was also called out by his coach for repeated instances of not hustling.

-Look for Dimes to air out the ball when he’s not flat on his back (he was sacked 8 times last week) because while Pitt is 2nd in rush D they’re all the way down at 22 in the pass game. Also, Nabers complained he was open quite a bit (“Go look at the target tape!”) and Daboll agreed.

 

Do your thing.

Hope this works. Their faces when the Gints tried that two-pointer are fantastic.

Sharkbait

Eli is so confused there

WCS

This one’s for Dok–

No bullshit, just took (my first) a call for a horse standing in the road at an intersection. Horse seems fine, maybe a little lost and annoyed. PD en route.

Doktor Zymm

When someone calls saying they lost their horse you’ll know exactly what to say!

WCS

Emu, boa constrictor, and now horsey in terms of calls for “unusual” non-dangerous animals (debatable on the man-eating snake).

WCS

UPDATE: Horsey is back with his owner. All is square.

Doktor Zymm

Hooray! They’re really not supposed to go play in traffic, glad it turned out well

Gumbygirl

I forged Gumby’s sig to get him out of jury duty- his hands shake so much he can’t hold the pen. His normal sig looks like someone whose hands shake so much they can’t hold the pen, so I’m pretty sure I’ll get away with this particular felony.

Mr. Ayo

We didn’t see nothing.

WCS

You were here the whole time.

2Pack

Quicker and more humane than trying to explain the true situation to them. If they come after you… let us know. We have certain skills…

A real Sleepy Hallow run this morning. Muddy trail, chilly, dead corn stalks, fog, with only a headlamp for illumination. Half expecting Rod Sterling to come around a barn corner yappin about entering a new dimension…

All alone already?

Downfield Matriculator

Just showed up — late night at work on the West Coast. Keg appears to have been kicked at this here shindig

WCS

You can have my share.

Don T

Just finished work. Wasssaaasassp

WCS

Just finished work

So did the Stillers.

Wasssaaasassp

Stillers on top of the AFC North.

Gumbygirl

I’m here. I may go hurl myself in the bathtub, I feel kind of sweaty. Hope I’m not coming down with something, I have too much to do.

WCS

LIKE A LADY

BeefReeferLives

Strength to you, GG!

Gumbygirl

Hugs to you, my beefy friend! You guys are the best

Doktor Zymm

I’m here, just playing Civ

Doktor Zymm

Woo, won my Civ game (Byzantine, Religious victory, Emperor)

2Pack

The watch is a lonely place.

When its not hyper intense, life or death that is…

Mr. Ayo

Of course not. We’re just ignoring you.

WCS

4-0 when at work, 2-2 when not.

Not sure what that means.

Horatio Cornblower

Aaron Boone has his closer throwing in the 9th inning down 4-0.

Dunstan

Resting his arm for when you’re down 3 games to 0?

Mr. Ayo

In his defense, he already used Cortes

SonOfSpam

Nestor Cortes pinch-hit for Aaron Judge challenge.

Gatoraids

well at least the explosive play was right

Mr. Ayo

I hope Gigantes score just for the 2 point play this time.

Mr. Ayo

Ah, well. Nevertheless.

ThePirateSloth

Why do they keep playing RATM in the stadium?

SonOfSpam

Pittsburgh people LOVE Randy Areola’s Throbbing Member.

Mr. Ayo

Danny Hay Penny!

Redshirt

How does Daniel Jones still have a job?

Gatoraids

every other job has higher standards than Giants QB

WCS

Ah, never change Danny Derps.

ThePirateSloth

I just can’t help but laugh at Wilson now.

Redshirt

I didn’t even see the play; I just saw the fumble and knew it was Wilson somehow.

BugEyedBoo

Strip sack.

Horatio Cornblower

This is not, at all, (seriously, AT. ALL.), why the Yankees are losing, but the home plate umpire tonight is putting on a clinic on why it’s a really bad idea to pick umpires based on seniority and whose turn it is to get WS assignment instead of taking, you know, the 7 highest ranked umpires over the course of the regular season.

Even the announcers are teeing off on him now.

Gumbygirl

They should light up that outline of Fort Pitt at the point. It’s too dark there at night.

He’s a grumpy muppet!

Brocky

What the hell is a avif?

King Hippo

I turned it off awhile back, but it seems The Standard Remains The Standard?

WCS

It’s the standard other standards are standardized by.

King Hippo

this checks out!

WCS

Here comes another touchdown called back for a penalty.

Brocky

Remember, Russell Wilson has always been secretly bad guys

ThePirateSloth

“Muddle Huddle” sounds like it should be offensive to someone.

Horatio Cornblower

I thought I only had about 2 oz. of my Sam Adams Utopia leftover so I just turned the bottle upside down while not paying attention and it was closer to 6 oz., so I guess now I’ll just get drunk and watch the rest of Game 3.

Sharkbait

Can’t waste it.

Horatio Cornblower

It’s not even that good, but I’m not pouring it down anything other than my throat.

Sharkbait

I had it at the brewery a number of years ago. I agree. It was…OK. Not something I’d go out of my way to get

Has the Swinging Gate Formation ever worked?

Sharkbait

About as effective as Heavens Gate

Redshirt

(turns on TV; Giants score TD)

Hey! That’s a good sign.

(Swinging Gate slams shut on Giants foot)

Nevermind.

Steelers playing Styx, which is new in Pittsburgh.

Gumbygirl

They were one of the bands at my first concert in 1974. Three Rivers Stadium. Yinzers have always loved Styx.

WCS

Pfff. Just like “rock and roll,” this new fangled “internets” won’t catch on around here, either.

BugEyedBoo

Ain’t nothing wrong with Renegade.
