Your Thursday Night Football Hallo’weird Open Thread

And there’s your host, Aaron Rodgers. After the game he’ll be screening one of his favorite scary movies, The Cabinet of Dr. Fauci! Let’s keep this moving…

Minutiae:

-There’s lots of trade rumors flying as is the way with the social media environs we wallow in now. So what’s with Diontae Johnson though? He’s sorta headed to the Bucs but he was recently traded away from the Steelers. Victim of circumstance or low-key malcontent?

-Green Bay’s Love looks like a game-timer this week-would you take the risk and throw him out there or lean on Willis again, who aquitted himself quite well in his stead?

-Richardson was benched and the team captains found out through Shefter. Does this sound like a circumstance whereby a profusely sweating, pill-engorged fella burst through the doors of the team’s facility, stumbled into the coach’s office and let his opinion be known?

To The Game!

Texans/Jets:

-Another prime time game, another Jets game. Look, I get it-New York and the surrounding area bring in precious eyeballs and the Giants suck garbage from an industrial-sized hose. But this is too much.

-With Diggs gone (for good?) which Texan wr is going to step up? There’s some talent among John Metchie, Xavier Hutchinson-but maybe Robert Woods gets the first bite? Me? I need Tankie to set the world on fire tonight and I think he might. Why?

-Here’s a nice segue-The Sauce doesn’t seem to be the guy he was in his rookie year. He has a 23.3% missed tackle rate which is more than double last year’s and his coverage grade of 69.2 places him 46th in PFF’s standings.

-Since The Savior Davante came on board he’s caught less than 50% of his targets. That ain’t no good.

It’s all yours now.

We took a walk out into the neighborhood and it has quieted down enough that random houses offered us candy even though we are middle aged and weren’t wearing anything that even *resembled* costumes.

No matter what happens on Tuesday, we will always, always, ALWAYS have the Jets.

Hot Potatoe!

Bogdanski

Back in San Diego for trick or treat. Last year I included a potato in the candy bowl and a surprising number of kids took the potato. Should I stick with that or switch to an onion?

ArmedandHammered

The onion, as was fashionable in my day.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yeah if you’re gonna do that you gotta make sure you include some kind of cordage so they can tie it to their belts.

Mr. Ayo

Absolutely. Those kids need the bongs what with all the legal weed.

Brick Meathook

Set out little snack-bags of lima beans

Doktor Zymm

Zucchini!

Lololol!

I’m watching the finale of Agatha rather than this crummy game

He dropped that ball before the line.

Do you think there are dudes who gravitate towards the O-line because they don’t like to dance?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Apparently the girls field hockey team won their district championship game this evening and will be coming by riding the town fire truck shortly. I texted Matt Gaetz and told him I’d share my location for $2,000.

Some serious sideeye going on there

Brocky

Makes sense. Captain America would be warry of the Japanese

Brocky

So….

I declare this the lamest Halloween of my lifetime.

jjfozz

These two fuckwads on the T Mobile commercials need to be pummeled to death with a bag of rotten oranges.

ArmedandHammered

Use avocados, then sell the resulting mashed avocados to dumbasess to put on their toast.

I have always found ants to be the most fascinating of insects. Don’t know why.

Spur

It’s their socialist tendencies, huh? Call the cops, we got a commie here!

Doktor Zymm

They’re like underground bees

ArmedandHammered

They are just like us, endlessly toiling to support the one percent, slaves to the entrallment of things instead of pheromones, just to die, one of many empty husk.

THIS GAME HAS MORE TRICKS IN IT THAN A $5 BROTHEL

Shouldn’t Germans pronounce it “Vest Firginia”?

My wife is having a BALL listening to the horrible shit I’m yelling at Aaron Rodgers.

Doktor Zymm

Uh oh, kicker owie. Although we got this gem against the Jets a while back, always fun to watch

Evening Folks. Happy Halloween

jjfozz

Here’s something nice.

On 9-11, my mother in law texted a picture to my son, it was a close up of the “falling man” and it had a Star of David next to it and the caption read “We Know Who Did It.”

Yes, a good Christian woman who missed the whole “love each other as I have loved you.”

Actually, I’m super fucking pissed about it.

Game Time Decision

We got like 20 kids max. I think we ate more candy than we gave out
Have shut down for the night. InThe last group of kids, only 1 had a costume

BugEyedBoo

Last year we had a bunch of ‘kids’ that were about 15 or 16 years old. About half of them didn’t wear costumes. Should have given some of those boys razors.

Doktor Zymm

Wow, apparently Tank Dell only weighs 165 lbs. He looks so tiny in the huddle next to all the big dudes

Mr. Ayo

He needs to eat more Uncrustables. A lot more.

Doktor Zymm

Tickets to this game were $19, which is about what you would expect for a game where the 2-6 team is somehow favored over the 6-2 team

Sharkbait

Left a bowl of candy on the porch while we took the kids trick or treating. When we got back home we discovered someone took the whole bowl.

Not just the candy. They took the physical bowl. Who steals a mixing bowl??

King Hippo

I left a sign with “take 3 (your choice)” and both pasta pot and kitchen stool still there. Along with 60% of the candy.

Halloween Horror Movie for Yankees fans:

jjfozz

As a Baltimoron, it was so, so sweet

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yeah, for Yankees haters this is more like a Christmas movie.

Mr. Ayo

He’ll single handily beat me, no doubt. (PHRASING)

Doktor Zymm

At least Jets fans are likely to have some good Halloween costumes going on, even if it’s just an excuse to hide their faces in shame

jjfozz

THIS TRICK OR TREAT I FEEL LIKE BEING HELD UP BY STEVIE WONDER CAUSE THEY’RE ROBBING ME BLIND

Gumbygirl

That’s not a thing here in Old Folks Hell. I bought candy ” just in case,” but really that’s “just in case” I feel like stuffing my maw with chocolate. And I do!

Doktor Zymm

I’m gonna buy some tomorrow, Reese’s Pieces count as a protein source I think

Uh, why?

Proof that there is no God

Mr. Ayo

And chilled in the freezer.

King Hippo

Jo Nesbo’s new one – “Killing Moon” is quite good so far.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Is that a song?

ArmedandHammered

“Lips Like Sugar”? You want “Bedbugs and Ballyhoo”? Because that is how you get them. And ants.

Too Early for Sexy Friday?

BugEyedBoo

Sounds like a disgusting combo, but dry-roasted peanuts and candy corn is not bad.

King Hippo

I hope you get your Tankie points, since I relented and started CJ Stroud.

Gumbygirl

I hope he does not, because Bogdanski has him in the Liga Lowratio. Instead, hand it off early and often to Beatie!

Bogdanski

Light it up Stroud!

King Hippo

why not, you only live once!

Doktor Zymm

Wicks is a bum and I say this because he did poorly the one week I started him

Lucky , we haven’t got anyone yet this year and we even went full sized.
