Saquon’s Birthday Bash! A Super Bowl Open Thread

Let’s not waste any time on an ill-thought-out preamble.

To The Game!

Eagles/Chiefs:

-Spags Alert!: The Chiefs have allowed but one 100 yard rusher this year. The bad news for Saquon? It was a QB by the name of Lamar! and it was waaay back in week one.

-Here’s some more bad news for Philly-Mahomes is 8-0 vs Fangio defenses. However, this is the first time in his playoff career that he’s playing against a #1 ranked unit.

-Though Hurts went for 246 two weeks ago, in the other two games he threw for less than 146 yards.

-Much has been made of K.C. having won 17 straight one score games but the Eagles have been tested and their record this year in those games is 9-2.

-Jake Elliot being 1 of 8 from 50+ yards is going to affect Sirianni’s decision-making. Will Philly fans be cognizant of this should a choice fizzle? You know the answer.

-During these playoffs the Eagles D has forced 10 turnovers and they have not turned the ball over yet. As a matter of fact, Hurts hasn’t thrown an INT since November 10th.

-Sirianni is the only coach to reach the playoffs and go to two Super Bowls in his first four years. (I thought Seifert might have done so but he missed the playoffs in his third year with a 10-6 record and won his 2nd Super Bowl in his fifth year. Btw, does anyone remember him coaching Carolina?)

-As you may have guessed, Patty’s QBR is 10 points higher in the postseason.

-Potential wide receiver surprises today? I’ll take D-Hop, who has only one catch so far. He’s a proven guy and Reid has a habit of going to an unlikely source at an important time. On the other side Devonta Smith will not attract much attention-he could erupt.

-Reid is 33-7 with two weeks to prepare for a game.

-Though the best part of his game is scrambles and designed runs, Hurts led all QB’s in completion percentage over expectation this season. (+7%)

-Should they win, the Chiefs +59 point differential (to this point in the season) would be the 4th-lowest of any Super Bowl victor. It pains me to say it but should that happen, it would be Andy’s (and Spags!) best coaching job ever.

Get in here and do your thing. And you folks we haven’t seen in some time, please do drop by and say hello. We’d love to see you!

Lady Maestro is confused as to why Tom Cruise has, and I quote “Indiana Jones hair” now.

Game Time Decision

He’s ooooolllllddd now.

Brocky

How rare is it that tom cruise is at worst the second most likeable cult leader in a given broadcast

yeah right

Perfect timing. Enchiladas just got in the oven and I’m setting my ass down!

Bourbon st 4 hours ago. What’s the over/under on trampling deaths?

Lol at MJD being on color commentary for this British broadcast. I guess the London Jags thing is real?

Ok, which of you degenerates already lost money on the coin toss?

Delay of Game. Eagles. 5 yard penalty.

Gumbygirl

That was the loudest moment of silence ever. Proud of you, NOLA!

Brocky

Surprised Virginia is important enough get mentioned

yeah right

She’s not. It’s the recency effect in play.

Doktor Zymm

The commonwealth?

Mr. Ayo

*throws flag*

Personal foul. Roughing the QB on Erin Andrews. 15 yards.

False Start. Eagles. 5 yard penalty.

You’re rooting for a threepeat? What kind of monster are you?

NEVER for the Fucking Eagles!

Holy Shit, I hadn’t thought through this broadcast having commentators with British accents. They’re glorious.

Senor Weaselo

It is February.

This catering hall has the AC blasting.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Oh, in case it needs saying, FUCK DONALD TRUMP for so many reasons, including injecting himself into the Super Bowl.

blaxabbath

You thought you’d be able to anything for the next four years without hearing about Trump?

Get used to it. The people of this country who have nothing in their lives but the TV have spoken.

Now excuse me while I go draft up my price increase letter on all my steel products.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

No. But I don’t need his poopy version of chocolate in my sports peanut butter.

blaxabbath

Well it’s everything on the menu here so just enjoy the Eagles Chiefs game you’ve wished for for the last 6 months.

Do it!

I think Pete Davidson just impregnated half of the Eagles cheerleading squad

Mr. Ayo

Pool Boys mailed it in.

litre_cola

Like Pumas against the Mighty Cavalry FC. They fielded their 2nd team and paid for it.

Seems appropriate with Trump in attendance. Dance for our Nation!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

It is so fucking weird to be at a British pub to watch this game.

Gumbygirl

My new phone shitcanned my photo compress app, and the “free” ones the play store is pushing are only free for a couple of days. Motherfuckers! I had a pic of three beer glasses, I wanted you guys to help me decide which one to use for my crappy beer. One is a Steelers pilsner glass, one is a Seattle Supersonics beer mug, and the other is a pint glass from the Bulldog tavern in Jackson Mississippi with a Winston Churchill quote.

Mr. Ayo

HOX!!!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Are you on iphone or android? There is probably a way to set it to take photos at a low resolution. Another thing I often do with my android tablet is to take a photo from farther away, then crop it so that when it saves it’s not nearly so big.

Gumbygirl

Android. I tried to set it to 60%, but it still didn’t post

Doktor Zymm

I vote mug!

I’ve had some success just cropping the edges off photos to downsize them instead of compressing

SonOfSpam

Supersonics, because Shawn Kemp.

Mr. Ayo

SAVE OUR SONICS!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Churchill. The others will move away.

Mr. Ayo

Holy face lift Pitt!

Good God there is nothing I would like more than for Aaron Rodgers to end up on the Raiders. Either he catches fire and leads them on an improbable run into the playoffs (or even to a respectable 7-10 or thereabouts), or he ends his career in absolute disgrace and the Raiders are sitting pretty in the 2026 draft.

SonOfSpam

That’s some half-full stuff!

As long as you catch up on Hate Week, there won’t be any homework.

Spur

I’ve been reporting to ICE all the illegal family members of Trump Hispanics who I know. That’s been keeping me busy after work since mid January. I have an Excel sheet on my work.

Does that count as a midterm?

Currently warming up for The Big Game™️ by watching Six Nations highlights.

Some cracking tries today.

“Huh. I don’t remember any Six Nations games having been scheduled for today.” – Darcy Graham

Spur

Fuck Da Eagles! I’ll never root for them.
I hope the Refs cheat the Eagles all game and at its biggest moments.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Good to see you, Spur, and you really shouldn’t waste wishes on things that are going to happen anyways.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s funny, I don’t feel the same sense of dread for this Super Bowl knowing that I’ll probably end up $120 richer at the end of it.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Do they not have a French-language broadcast available in Canadia?

SonOfSpam

Yeah, but it’s still Tom Brady.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Jesus, now I’m gonna have a nightmare about Tom Brady as a snooty maître d’ who is keeping me from showing up for my date with that Hooters waitress.

rockingdog

Found a funny:

The year is 2028. A liberal elder millennial has taken control of the government. Everyone rolls their eyes at the new “department of good government oversight” (doggo). Until the purges begin

Doktor Zymm

That would be really obnoxious so it’ll probably happen

Mr. Ayo

Swifty! Drink!

rockingdog

Randomly saw a fat old bald guy wearing an eagles shirt chasing a pigeon down the sidewalk here in SF

Thought it was amusing

LoL

Gooooo birds! 🦅

Doktor Zymm

A quick peruse of the hotel TV channels is nawt promising. There are 4 sports channels listed, and one of them is actually just nature documentaries

I don’t want to get my hopes up, but perhaps Internet Dad shows up.

They aren’t even taking bets on the destruction of Philly, it’s that much of a sure thing

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I just hope it’s the happy kind of fire.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

You know, like the sensation you get when urinating one week after you find out that the number that the Hooters waitress gave you wasn’t fake and that she really did like you!

The MrsSloth does not know I have a small filet that I will sear and slice up, with a red wine and garlic reduction to drizzle over the top, to feed her during half time.

I’ve got a pot of italian sausage red wine pasta gravy cooking down on the stove for a pasta/sausage casserole with fresh mozzarella for myself.

This delicious ass Chianti Rufina I found? 1 pour for the dish, 2 swigs for the chef.

Like Cincinnati sports teams in a good year, its surprising better than it has any right to be.

You got to try it??
I mean, isn’t the spice blend a bunch of cinnamon and other baking spices? So this is like pumpkin spice for dudes sorta

Redshirt

Yeah. Spices and hot sauce. And oyster crackers. Weird but good.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’ll say the same thing that I said to that guy who was planning a vacation in Cleveland: “How on earth did it come to this?”

Mr. Ayo

I know this may be a reach but this comment is by far the craziest shit I’ve seen this week

Gumbygirl

Does it have meat in it?

Redshirt

No, it has the spices and hot sauce. And oyster crackers.

I have a line, and that definitely doesn’t cross it.

Doktor Zymm

Probably the best RB to go against KC after week 1 would be Cook, right? I feel like they haven’t really faced too many strong run teams this year but my memories of their games this year are mostly just a mush of annoyance

Mr. Ayo

*throws flag*

Holding, Eagles. 10 yard penalty.

Oh! I have seen that song and dance. Guess I will head down to the train station to have an incident early.

WIDOW MS. DEADLY-IN-LAW: [ignores the Metro Micro ride that has been set up for her and decides to walk home from church instead]

DR. MRS. DEADLY ESQ. (RET): [goes out to look for her, brings the dog]

PENNY DEADLY (aka LIEUTENANT WIGGLES OF THE SNUGGLE SQUADRON): [slips her leash, comes back home by herself]

DR. MRS. DEADLY ESQ. (RET): [is not aware of this until she encounters her mother, who points it out.]

I can’t even at this point. How do you go out to walk a dog and NOT EVEN NOTICE THAT THE DOG IS NO LONGER ON THE END OF THE LEASH YOU HAVE IN YOUR HAND?

SonOfSpam

Congrats on not having a dog emergency on this holiest of days.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

She’s certainly angling for that promotion to Captain.

Mr. Ayo

Gotta teach that dog to make vacuum noises every once in a while to hold her attention.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I mean the dog does hoover up garbage from the street.

They CGI’d him into the Cowboys field because ol’ Double J has barred him from the building, right?

After a long, uncertain winter, we’ve finally reached the promised land. The Big Mac Bridge is open; I-471 is back at full strength! Great slap on the back to the work crews for showing some fine hustle in the cold days and nights!

What? Why is everyone talking about a Supper Bowl?

Go Meteor! Or at least a blowout so I can go to bed before halftime.
