Round Four: Your Packers/Eagles Open Thread

Here we go again.

To The Game!

Packers/Eagles:

-Love has been removed from the injury report. (an elbow ouchie, “It still hurts when I throw”) Speaking of Hurts, (status: concussed) word has it that a ‘specialist’ was flown in from the Dolphins medical staff and voila, he’s ready and raring to go!

-So the bad news for the Packers starts here-when Hurts, Brown and Devonta Smith start and finish a game together the Eagles are undefeated this year. (9-0)

-They’ve Kept It Close: The Packers last three losses (to Chicago, Minny and Detroit) have been by 2, 2 and 3 points.

-When you think about the Packers they don’t strike me as a dominant defensing unit (and now without Jaire Alexander, yikes) but vs the run they were behind only the Broncos and Ravens in the yards per carry metric. (4.0) Dealing with a rested, next-level Barkley is a whole ‘nother task though. That beast had 46(!) runs of 10+ yards this year. His O/U is 20.5 carries, btw.

-Look at Mr. Under The Radar Over Here: What with all the attention given to above and King Henry, Josh Jacobs has had the quietest 1,329 yard, 15 touchdown season ever. Philly needs to contain him just as badly as Green Bay has to keep Saquon under control. The Eagles are 10th vs the run, the Packers are 5th.

-Thanks to a top-heavy NFC and the 17 game season, the 25 combined wins is the most ever for a wildcard matchup.

Get after it.

Pretty creative and logical – TEs should be able to “under center” sneak pretty effectively

King Hippo

I know it’s completely irrational – but I still can’t buy Philly as a serious Owl contender.

fleshwound_NPG

biggest upside in the nfc, but their coaching staff is sirianni and a former cowboys offensive coordinator

it can absolutely be sabotaged

litre_cola

WOOF WOOF.

ArmedandHammered

That’s good, because when they are considered serious contenders they seem to shit the bed.

Mr. Ayo

Obvs Eagles aren’t Owls.

Doktor Zymm

Although I’ve never seen them in a room together, supposedly because Owls are ‘nocturnal’ and neither species really goes indoors, but I’m suspicious

Tough when you’re in the same conference as RAMMMMMMIT

fleshwound_NPG

love’s armpunt has eventually moved the field position more in their favor

Beerguyrob

GOING GREAT!

Horatio Cornblower

The Eagles can probably go ahead and start resting Barkley now.

LemonJello

SUDDEN (yet somewhat expected) CHANGE!

fleshwound_NPG

fierce armpunting this weekend

King Hippo

Chronologically speaking, what was the last really solid diss track?

Mr. Ayo

Not Like Us – Kendrick Lamarr

Gatoraids

and before that probably Song of Adidon by Pusha T also on drake.

Killshot by Eminem on MGK also good and relatively recent

King Hippo

see, I am LARNIN shiznit from y’all young (imaginary) ppls!

Bogdanski

I don’t know the specifics but apparently Kendrick Lamar straight up destroyed Drake recently

Gatoraids

yeah Ayo mentioned top track, but he pretty much unleashed an entire Diss album on him last year

ThePirateSloth

I decided earlier that I’m gonna attempt a soup I’ve never made: sweet Italian sausage, peppers, onions, garlic, soup served over quinoa. Got some seasoned diced tomatoes, fresh parsley as well.

Gatoraids

equally healthy recipe tried today was new wing dipping sauce

  • ½ cup Sour Cream
  • 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Plain Yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Harissa or your favorite hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Blue Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Parsley chopped
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

very tasty from chef jon pierre

Beerguyrob

Not gonna lie, but the first three ingredients sounds like staples of a Republican Party fundraiser.

Gumbygirl

Yogurt is too exotic for them. Foreigners use it, doncha know. I would like to cater a Republican fundraiser, their flaming assholes would match the rest of them!

“Pulling your Italian sausage” like Fozz hasn’t had to yell at the FozzSpawn for doing that. A lot.

Gumbygirl

Eh, keeps them from toking it up in the shed!

Gumbygirl

That sounds so good! I never use sweet sausage, always spicy Italian. Which is weird, because I’m a fucking wuss.

ThePirateSloth

I swear a woman I once dated made this as a soup/stew with pork broth and farro, but without tomatoes. I’ve asked her about it a few times, but she doesn’t remember making it and doesn’t have it as a recipe in her book.

*shrug*

I’ve looked at enough recipes online that I’m just gonna wing it now. Play with seasonings and taste.

Let’s check in with FanDuel on the Packers odds…

Only half of them had their testicles when they died.

You have the charisma to convince that many weirdos to cut their bollocks off? Go into sales, make some money FFS.

fleshwound_NPG

my high school adopted it recently so this tracks

Gatoraids

was that when you are not around outro requested by one TB for a GB

Horatio Cornblower

Carnival Cruise Lines having their own Key in the Bahamas makes me fully support Bill Burr’s idea that the world navies be used to torpedo cruise ships.

Speaking of Bill Burr and Philadelphia

Ten minutes to go!

Doktor Zymm

All the big cruise lines have their own bit of Bahamia

WCS

I was offered a white powder to purchase in Haiti, 1999!

Horatio Cornblower

I have no doubt, but that just makes me want to go full on Cape. Nemo on them even more.

JustStopDude

This kind of shit makes me think that sports gambling has compromised the NFL.

https://youtube.com/shorts/jQxJxz8FC1k?si=UtCEzyMYwPgn61OO

No wonder the Chargers lost!!!

Beerguyrob

Well, as this game slips out of reach I’ll see what’s trending on Twitter…

Zombie Beatles v Trump, I would watch that

Tom Brady has really gotten better as an announcer since that disastrous first week.

And he’s still pretty damn bad at it.

Well, that means he’s about to start a decades-long career where he always appears where you don’t want him to do at the biggest sporting events of the year. Every time. Great.

Horatio Cornblower

Oh man, I just fixed that typo, too.

Gumbygirl

This game is out of reach. I think I’m going to take a bath. Later taters!

You are slipping GG, there are no swears in this komment.

Looks like the Eagles fans will have to use their batteries for something else today!

WCS

The Flyers play later…

Beerguyrob

Buffalo fans need them for their “equipment”.

Just wide open between three Packers. This is gonna go great.

King Hippo

Game. Blouses.

/I sadly lack a notebook to close

WCS

Notebook?

Doktor Zymm

Yuengling is getting distribution in Chicago now, or soon at least. For sure my favorite cheap beer

WCS

The owners at massively anti-union, and gave lots of money to Trump’s three campaigns. Just FYI.

King Hippo

We should start a Sovereign Citizen IPA brand, and watch the moneys roll in. Side benefit, we could pee in every 100th bottle!

Doktor Zymm

Well that’s obnoxious

ThePirateSloth

*sigh*

Dammit

fleshwound_NPG

huh? ive seen that stuff in indiana for years

(it came over i think in the early 2010s?)

ThePirateSloth

I am desperate for Yuengling to make it out to the west coast.

I would do a large amount of [redacted] and [censored] for a case of it.

Horatio Cornblower

IMO it’s not good. Like Coors, the worst thing that happened to it was exposing more people to it.

I’m also a beer snob, so YMMV and I will fuck right off.

Doktor Zymm

It’s good for what it is, a cheap mass market beer

King Hippo

after further review, we are in Philly and wish to get back to our homes alive. The call STANDS.

litre_cola

Nice start. Now throw to the endzone on the 1st play.

how many times must we go over this

JustStopDude

This is going to be another one sides, slaughter, isn’t it?

Doktor Zymm

That’s certainly my expectation

litre_cola

I sure as hell hope so.

Horatio Cornblower

I do believe that the Packers are going to be packing their bags for the off-season by halftime.

I’m so sorry for that “joke”.

Mr. Ayo

The Gang Gets a Turnover

Redshirt

That’s a good start.

Redshirt

“What is fumble – Mash Pit Edition!”

Redshirt

“After reviewing the play, I don’t want to get stabbed in the parking lot. First Down, Eagles!”

WCS

Might be a day for Tom Grossi…

Horatio Cornblower

“The fans in a frenzy….”

It’s Philadelphia. Just say there are fans in the stand and we can do the math from there.

Horatio Cornblower

“Ladies and Gentleman, there’s some fires or some shit in California that’s being a real buzzkill on our #upforwhatever approach to THE FUCKIN’ WEEKEND, amirite, so just do me a favor and shut up for a quick minute while the NFL pretends to give a fuck about anything than the bottom line and mumbles something about first responders, whatever those are, then we’ll sing the National Anthem’s first verse while forgetting about the lyrics in the other verses which, hoo boy, are kinda problematic no matter who you are, and then we’ll get back to beer, football, and misogyny, all brought to you by LITTLE CEASAR’S FUCKIN’ PIZZA!!

AMERICA!! FUCK YEAH!! EVEN THE BURNY PARTS!!

Redshirt

Saxophone for the National Anthem? Did we lose a war?!

fleshwound_NPG

1991 aside, every one since 1945!

fleshwound_NPG

(okay TECHNICALLY in 2003 there was a win, but a pyrrhic one, and if anything it makes 1991 a very empty win)

Horatio Cornblower

Where have you been?

Doktor Zymm

An instrumental anthem and a properly giant flag? Good start!

Mr. Ayo

Sexy Sax Anthem!

fleshwound_NPG

saxamophone!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Packers, Tom Brady in the booth, and a sax for the national anthem.

Yup, that’s enough for me, I’m out.

JustStopDude

Is a moment of silence ever possible at any event in Philadelphia?

Beerguyrob

“If youse fuckas would stop throwin’ bat’tries for a goddamn minnit,…”

JustStopDude

I’m honestly surprised no one tried to hole in one a battery into the saxophone.

ArmedandHammered

That jumpsuit Erin was wearing needs needs either grommets for peepholes where the nipples are. just saying

ThePirateSloth

Y’all, I invited Unsurprised over yesterday for foosball and beers, with the promise of game time nachos and a “we’ll figure out more food later” – which turned out to be excellent bahn mi sammiches – but he told me on his way over that he brought some extra chips. We didn’t dive into this chips or even get them out. We agreed for same time today, and he left the chips here last night.

I finally took a look at the chips after he left – this man came into my home and brought 4 bags of Tim’s chips: 2 All Dressed (Olive oil, vinegar, onion, garlic flavors), 1 Jalepeno, AND 1 SMOKEY PEPPER BACON all extra thick and crunchy chips… and was so humble he never mentioned a word about these delicious as fuck chips he brought.

Now I am scrambling to up my foosball watching food choices for today. How the fuck do I top that? Unsurprised’s Chip Game sure is a surprise and is Top Fucking Tier.

Doktor Zymm

Delicious! And a fine beer pairing (second only to Lithuanian fried bread)

Mr. Ayo

Reminds when he brought about 200 beers to our seats during the HOX game.

Beerguyrob

Based on the outfit, it’s nice to see Erin came in from the Air Force base to work the sideline.

Beerguyrob

I assume this was said on the other thread & he will be here when he’s GODDAMN GOOD AND READY!!1!1!!

King Hippo

A live “IQ Test Challenge” between Bradshaw and Gronk would be good TV. And a microcosm of why Murrika is where it is.

ArmedandHammered

I hit mute a long time ago and oh fuck me, mute will be staying on, Brady, really? Arghhhh, another 3 bowls coming up, plus maybe three bowels, not sure which.

Redshirt

Why did they schedule all the AFC games before the NFC games?

Mr. Ayo

Because Roger Goodell is a National Disgrace?

litre_cola

Or the fact that you touch yourself at night.

Mr. Ayo

Don’t forget during the day between games like right now.

I hope your cuck chair is comfortable.

Beerguyrob

Always the correct answer.

JustStopDude

A comes before N in the alphabet.

Horatio Cornblower

Saquon Barkley should be the NFL MVP but he won’t, because the NFL only recognizes QBs.

Doktor Zymm

Another round of Saquon v Henry is the best argument for a Iggles/Ratbirds Owl

Horatio Cornblower

Henry is why I would vote Allen over LAMAR!, but still vote Saquon #1.

King Hippo

Beast Mode gettin’ kinda husky

ArmedandHammered

It is called “chunky” soup for a reason.

Beerguyrob

I guess the new strains of weed make you both hungry and water retentive.

ArmedandHammered

I only get the munchies from Indica so I stay away from that. Almost down to 250lbs which would make the loss about 70 lbs. Not going to jepordize that. Not sure water retentive but I do get thirsty.

ThePirateSloth

He’s in Yeast Mode.

He’s risin

ArmedandHammered

Beast Mode is his mojo and since he’s risin – Beast Mode=Mr. Mojo Risin’

I’ll say 1000 , “Hail Suzy full of grace”‘s as penitence for my sins.

ArmedandHammered

That suit is a statement Howie, and who do I report elder abuse (Bradshaw) and abuse of the mentally disabled (Gronk) to for their own good?

Gumbygirl

When I first turned it on, his hair looked purple too.

Beerguyrob

Well, it looks like I picked the right time to run to Costco. Seems I didn’t miss an unBOlievable comeback.
