Round Five: Commies/Bucs

Was this my pick for most low-key entertaining game of the weekend? Why would I bring it up if it wasn’t? Why am I typing this at all? (side-eyes the word counter)

To The Game!

Commies/Bucs:

-Fireworks Alert: Right here we’ve got two top five scoring offenses (Tampa 4th, Washington 5th) vs two below-averages defenses. Veags has set the point total (highest of the weekend) at 50.5. Tampa’s record vs the over this season is 12-5.

-Rookie to Keep an Eye On: Not that one, this one-wr Jalen McMillan scored at least one TD the last five games of the season to finish with seven total in those tilts.

-The big concern when previous OC Dave Canales left for the Carolina job (oh woe is him) was that the progress made with Mayfield would backslide. Well, take your hat off to Liam Cohen, who stepped in and has done such a good job that his name is being floating around in the coaching cycle.

-Baker has a total of 16 INT’s so far (to go along with 41 TD’s) but only three in his last four games.

-Up and Down: Washington has on its CV a midseason four game losing streak as well as a five game win streak to close out the year.

-As a coach Dan Quinn sports a fantastic 18-19 record as an underdog-that’s not against the spread, that’s winning outright.

-Tampa has averaged just under 32 points since the bye and they’re 6-1 during that time.

-Tampa’s win record includes victories over Detroit, the Commies, the Chargers and the Eagles. They’ve also had close losses to the Chiefs and Ravens.

-Bucky Irving Alert: Of all the teams in the playoffs Washington has the worst run defense, coming in at 30th. Tampa’s entire backfield has averaged over five yards a carry to close out the season.

-Let’s see how the Commies backfield is holding up. Oh my. Over their last four games they’re averaging 2,2 ypc. Ouch.

Have at it.

Can we all patt ourselves on the butt for giving Redshirt good advice and a double patt to Redshirt for cashing out?

Mr. Ayo

Indeed. You’re welcome coward, I mean, Redshirt.

Horatio Cornblower

Look, what happens every time a redshirt takes a risk on Star Trek?

Mr. Ayo

They provide me much entertainment!

Redshirt

I was thinking the same thing! Thanks for bailing my cowardly ass out!

Doktor Zymm

So far so good so sure this is all gonna go wrong but I think that’s just a reflex from the bad times

Gatoraids

Kurt Warner finally getting the 2 for 2 supercut with his wife

Doktor Zymm

Touchbacks- so exciting we decided to do it twice!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Is there any other country in the world that would invite something like fried chicken soup?

yeah right

It can cure a cold and give you colon cancer!

Doktor Zymm

China, but with fried chicken feet

Unsurprised

Japan at Christmas?

fleshwound_NPG

20-20, 4 minutes left

one coach knows of no risk assessment on 4th down

the other quarterback used to be on the browns

result: who cares. the one good game is because everybody’s a dipshit. man, this weekend has sucked. none of these jabronis are beating detroit or kansas city. hit simulate until the championship games

ballsofsteelandfury

I will send you a mini butt of your choice if either Detroit or KC gets to the Super Bowl.

They’re going to get eliminated.

fleshwound_NPG

both should. both suck. but i have no faith in any team ive seen thus far besides baltimore (but LOL their fuckin recent history)

ballsofsteelandfury

I’m thinking Baltimore and Philly

Doktor Zymm

BIRD BOWL SQUAWKDOWN!

litre_cola

If that happens Dok, we win our bet.

Unsurprised

At Least one of those two is guaranteed to go to the Super Bowl.

yeah right

I just realized our color commentators have been Romo, Brady then Collinsworth.

What did we do to deserve that?

ballsofsteelandfury

The Mute button is RIGHT THERE

Unsurprised

Or SAP

ThePirateSloth

Marky Mark really really really cannot pull off the Capt Picard bald head look.

Jimbo

Is he not giving you good vibrations?

ThePirateSloth

Nor the sweet sensations.

SonOfSpam

Or act.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Or convince my neighbor to keep dating him after she met her current husband.

Horatio Cornblower

/pulls up chair

OK, I’m going to need you to expand on that.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I don’t have that great of a recollection of the story since it was probably 1 a.m. by that point and we’d been drinking since sundown. But apparently she dated him for a while and claims to have introduced him to Jeremy Piven (thus inflicting the plague of Entourage upon the world). But she dropped him for her current husband, which is quite cromulent because he is tall and has a British accent.

ballsofsteelandfury

I love how you keep saying “current” with the implication that, at some point, it will be “ex”.

I hope not! I like them both and they have a ten year-old daughter.

Horatio Cornblower

/Matt Gaetz has entered the chat

Unsurprised

I know this may be controversial, but he’s a terrible actor and a worse human being.

blaxabbath

20-20 and receiving the kick?

Dan Quinn calls this Four-Down Territory.

ballsofsteelandfury

Premature Snapulation?

Doktor Zymm

Hah!

King Hippo

That was the best run blitz in the history of mankind!

SonOfSpam

“Why don’t ya head back to your seat so I can see ya shake your tailfeather, ya juicy bitch” and now I have a new thing to say at work

blaxabbath

Did that DB choose the jersey number zero because that is his Open Field Tackle rating?

Brocky

I only remember the 2005 game because of Chris simms lodging a football into one of the cannon’s

Doktor Zymm

9+ minutes left? So at least 2 more lead changes I assume.

fleshwound_NPG

dan quinn to go for it 3 more times

King Hippo

He wants to be Dan Campbell when he grows up!

litre_cola

*angry gym teacher

Unsurprised

Go, commies, go!

– The United States during the seige of Stalingrade

Horatio Cornblower

Two proud franchises?

Cris, one of these teams is Tampa Bay.

Brocky

And the other was owned by dan snyder

Beerguyrob

Both franchise cities are also familiar with whores.

blaxabbath

Then there is far too much pride in these two franchises.

Mr. Ayo

GO FOR IT QUINN!

Holy shit!

blaxabbath

I haven’t seen an exchange that fucked up since I tried to cash in my credit card miles for flight credit.

WCS

Baker fumbled 15 times and only lost two? Andy Reid is disappointed with the teases of turnovers…

blaxabbath

I feel like this is one of those stats that skews super in Baker’s favor when you look at only his division performances.

Redshirt

…and that’s why I took the money and ran!

Redshirt

And this is what I supposed to paste.

Take the Money and Run

Doktor Zymm

Def good to rest your heart while you can

Redshirt

Its a good thing I’m in control of my Dad’s medicine. The blood pressure ones and low dose aspirins will be needed for OSU/ND.

Brocky

Sudden change!

Mr. Ayo

That Baker sure is good at making turnovers!

Horatio Cornblower

/Andy Reid has entered the bakery.

Just kidding.

He never left.

Doktor Zymm

Woo and also hoo!

fleshwound_NPG

oh yea, mayfield used to play on the browns

Brocky

Used to make idiotic commercials for them as well

Gatoraids

Traded for him and a sadness to be named later

Horatio Cornblower

And that’s why you make sure Mike Evans gets his $3 million bonus.

Of course you probably then shouldn’t fuck up the ensuing snap.

LemonJello

SUDDEN CHANGE!

ballsofsteelandfury

Is every coach named Dan a moron when it comes to going for it on fourth down?

fleshwound_NPG

at least campbell has a reason, his defense sucks and is dead

Mr. Ayo

That’s QUINNover on downs!

Wakezilla

Does Dan Quinn have a fear of success? Take the points!

Redshirt

Agreed. Way too far to go for it.

blaxabbath

Dan Quinn ain’t gonna get the chance to choke away the Super Bowl this year.

fleshwound_NPG

STOP

POINTS

Mr. Ayo

The problem is that SGUP won’t really catch on.

Horatio Cornblower

What a stupid decision there.

Brocky

JFK, deciding to ride in a vehicle without a roof in Dallas

Horatio Cornblower

What’s the worst that could happen?

Brocky

70 plus years of conspiracy theories?

Doktor Zymm

RFK Jr could become a wingnut and then be placed in a position of power where he kills a bunch of kids?

blaxabbath

I dunno. I still just don’t like the [*Redacted] s because of their history.

Go BayMay!

Redshirt

Hey, someone wake up the Site Gremlins. A slur made it through the filter!

ballsofsteelandfury

BayMay?

blaxabbath

I’m trying it out.

Maybe we can do grill spices. Or cross country moving.

Brocky

It’s kinda weird that I’m this bored by this competitive of a game

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I watched an episode of Evil. Curiously, it was a silent episode, which is what I’m sure NFL viewers would prefer over hearing Collinsworth talk.

Jimbo

-episode of evil, Hannity on Fox?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The funny part is that I would absolutely sell my soul to get Hannity to remain silent for forty minutes.

Doktor Zymm

Man, having hope is kinda stressful. How do y’all who are fans of teams that don’t always suck deal with this?

WCS

litre_cola

Pacing, and muttering to myself. For me it is Mighty Whitey in London that drives me batshit crazy. Iggles are just fun when they are somewhat competent.

Mr. Ayo

No idea. Stupid Kraken and Mariners.

Senor Weaselo

Fuck, it’s been a while since I had what’s equal to multiple drinks.

Beerguyrob

Going out on a limb here, but Mike Evans might be good.

Senor Weaselo

They might want to do more than just Lattimore.

Mr. Ayo

More like LattiLESS

litre_cola

Moar like Marshawn Letthimscore right? Right?

Mr. Ayo

That pass was DEANined!

WHOOOOOOOOOO MARIOTA IS MY GOD WHOOOOOO DUCKS OUT HIM IN THE GAME OVER THAT DEI HIRE

I bet there was Truck Nutz on that truck, too.

Unsurprised

Right on schedule.

Unsurprised

Y’all, these All Dressed chip that Unsurprised brought are my new obsession. I will straight up murder CEOs go to the store like a good citizen to get more. They are super delicious and they are my precious.

litre_cola

KNow where they originated? Look at America’s hat.

Doktor Zymm

Y’all DO have some quality snacks, probably needed them to munch on while stuck inside recovering from moose bites. Mynd you, moose bites can be pretty nasti

King Hippo

I been thinkin’ and y’all deserve to be FOUR states. Ontario, Quebec, East The Canadia, and West The Canadia.

Col. Duke LaCross

Good fishin’ in Kyoobeck.

Beerguyrob

Just north of Canada’s ginch.

Doktor Zymm

Have you ever had Cheezies? They are Canadian crack.

Unsurprised

No. I am intrigued.

litre_cola

I brought them to Vegas and threw them on the table. Gone in mere minutes. So salty and so damn good.

Game Time Decision

Don’t sleep on Crunchits

LemonJello

Sleeping on Crunchits got Eli two weeks of no dessert. And he had to sleep on his He-Man sheets while the Star Wars set had to be washed multiple times.

Mr. Ayo

Unsurprised

I feel bad not bringing the dungeness crab spice chips, though.

Mr. Ayo

I can no longer go down my local chip aisle because of All Dressed chips. Like crack.

Mr. Ayo

We still remember the Chargers game prediction!

fleshwound_NPG

points are much harder to come by during the playoffs

detroit’s defense might make up for it

Senor Weaselo

An actual beer time! Thanks, thing I got for Christmas!

(Barrier Brewing Co. Cryomax IPA)

Senor Weaselo

Hoppy, piney, maybe a little berry-y… not bad.

Unsurprised

There’s a local restaurant with a commercial where two guys are wearing black bear costumes. It’s the same black bear costume as the one used on Conan for the masturbating bear.

Beerguyrob

“That’s how you thread the needle, Russell Wilson!” – Richard Sherman

Horatio Cornblower

We’re all in agreement that ‘The Disturber’ as a nickname for Mayfield is dumber than hammered shit, right?

Mr. Ayo

Yeah, it’s disturbing.

Brick Meathook

PUDD’NHEAD MAYFIELD

Unsurprised

It’s very reactionary and lacks agency, which is really stupid when you’re thinking of QB nicknames.

Doktor Zymm

Yeah, that sounds like he’s just an inconsiderately noisy neighbor

Redshirt

Why?

King Hippo

we can haz competitive FITBAW???

fleshwound_NPG

took a whole weekend, but yes?

King Hippo
SonOfSpam

Most annoying GnR song…this one or November Rain?

It’s close.

litre_cola

November Rain absolutely no question.

Unsurprised

November Rain has the sweet guitar solo

King Hippo

1) Patience was the song playing on the radio when I first made out with my first girlfriend.

2) November Rain is legitimately GOOD!!

3) There was one song that really got on my tits, I just can’t recall which one it was.

Col. Duke LaCross

Don’t Cry?

King Hippo

YES!!!!

WCS

November Rain represents everything wrong with GnR.

This represents everything right with GnR.

SonOfSpam

This is a good take

Jimbo

Saw them live at the Universal Amphitheater which was torn down for Harry Potter or some shit. smgdh
