It’s Heeeere. Your First Thursday Night Football Thread of of the 2025-26 Season

For Jerry Jones so loved his Ego that he gave up all his common sense so that Dallas haters could laugh all the season long. 

Oh look, here’s Jerry talking to the media yet again.

I think we’ll get a true picture of just how dysfunctional Dallas is and how all this crap has really affected the players. The Hot-Takers are saying that them Cowboys are going 4-13 but I don’t think it’ll be that bad, what with the firepower they have in the passing game. And this is a passing league I’ve been told.

Look at me, getting ahead of myself. First and foremost, many thanks are owed to all the gerbils that kept the lights on during the offseason and second-most, welcome back those football fans that like our brand of cynicism and snarkiness. Let’s all do it again.

To The Game!

Cowboys/Eagles:

-No pressure Kenny Clark, all you have to do is single-handedly improve the running game, just like your new master said you would. Just wondering, how many snaps is he going to play, what with all of 5(?) practices under his belly? He himself said he’s been cramming, reading the play calls to get a handle on things. Does he play 60% of snaps? Does that sound about right?

-Oh yeah, that Philly running game-according to some cherry-picked metrics, was the best or 2nd best of all the teams. When last we saw Saquon he was ripping off 40 yarders and there’s no reason why he can’t again tonight. The question of whether he can stay healthy for two seasons in a row for the first time in his career is a question for another day.

-Speaking of, Quick! name the Cowboys backfield. Nope. Rico Dowdle is gone, replaced by the less than explosive Javonte Williams in the lead with Panthers castoff (how’d you like that on your football CV?) Miles Sanders. Some are talking up Jaydon Blue but that’s obligatory with rookies that have detritus in front of them in the pecking order.

-I’m a bit curious how the Cowpokes are going to defend A.J. and Devonta: cb Diggs is playing after rehabbing his knee all offseason and that’s a bit of a surprise. Taking on Brown might be too much of an ask, so does nickel guy DaRon Bland-outweighed by a good 30 pounds-take on the responsibility? Or should he stay with the smaller Devonta who has 6 TD’s in eight games vs Dallas? Pick yer poison.

-The last spread I saw was a Fellini-esque 8 1/2 which seems…generous…to the Cowboys. I think the wheels come off right out of the gate.

Enjoy the game folks and those that have been away, do say hello, won’t you?

The fantasy football fan in me is thoroughly enjoying the complete lack of defense being played in this game.

LemonJello

Well at least this is pre-season, and the Eagles can..

Wait, I’m being told this is the regular season.

Oh, no.

HAMMER THE OVER

On Wednesday it was 95° here, so my mother-in-law made soup for lunch and dinner. Yesterday it was 94°, so she only made soup for dinner. Today has been substantially cooler, only 90°. You’ll never guess what she’s cooking!

WCS

Seems like a great time to braise something on 375 for six hours, too.

Not many people know this, but the turf in Philly is made of vulcanized cheesesteaks. true story

I lived in Philly for a few years. Can confirm.

My FF team, with Dak Prescott and Jake Ferguson, is already underperforming.

ballsofsteelandfury

Eagles going through the Dallas D like Scotchy’s knife through a hobo.

Horatio Cornblower

Who knew they’d miss Micah Parsons?

Brocky

Jalen: “Ah man, I thought the meme was spit on Dak thing. My bad”

WCS

Is BLERGH cranky after the off season, needs to make its presence known?

Brocky

Remind me, who did Jeremiah play for again?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Methusalah’s Marauders, I thought.

jjfozz

There are people who enjoy winter. They also enjoy pulling tails off of newborn kittens.

How do you value sleet and ice over this?

Is that the Chesapeake?

Yup, view from the place we rented in Ocean City

LUCKY FUCKER

Where at in OC?

jjfozz

28th street and the bay

WCS

No shit..
As a kid, I stayed at The Towers, 29th and the ocean. You’re literally across the street. Love that place, going to have to take the young’ins there at some point.

jjfozz

If you haven’t been there in awhile be warned, the place has changed and not for the better.

WCS

Really? Interesting. I haven’t been there in 20 years or so. I’ve been staying down around 118th or something last few times. The place is called The Capri, and it’s pretty sweet. One year was COVID where everything was closed off, but we’re still on the beach. Can’t close that.

Are you there now? How is it, beside awesome as always?

Spur

McCarthy would have seen Jalen out and ran all passing plays there.

fleshwound_NPG

go dawgs

RELATIVE FANTASY VOID PTS

SonOfSpam

Just like we all said, Javonte Williams is a FFL winning player.

Spur

A running game from Dallas !?!

Brocky

Lol jalen you dumbass

WCS

Could that be any more a Philly way to start the entire NFL season?

I’m going full Yinz tonight! I have a hot date with a big sausage (smoked Polish) AND Mrs. T.

This has been done and has over one million brews on Brazzers

The Maestro

Between the fascist TV ads, the out of tune Boyz II Men, the injury six seconds in, and now an ejection due to blatant spitting before a snap, this game is the perfect representation of current-day America.

WCS

Dallas scoring to inspire false hope is a nice touch.

The 2025 NFL Season is all downhill from here.

Horatio Cornblower

Banner this.

I bet it was about the Nazis forming an HOA and making them join.

Fronkenshteen

Well that’s the stupidest beginning of a season anyone could possibly have imagined.

LemonJello

THIS GAME, THE FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON, I CALL IT DDT BECAUSE EAGLES ARE BEING TAKEN OUT LEFT AND RIGHT.

SonOfSpam

In Hippo Weird Math League, my opponent has Devonta Smith on his bench. I applaud this move.

jjfozz

Spit on a guy in front of the ref. You can’t teach that kind of stupid.

King Hippo

TO BE FARE, that level of moron-being is why he slipped in draft far enough for Philly to pick up

jjfozz

I live in one of the highest taxed counties in Maryland, and the motherfucking library never has a goddamn book to check out electronically.

King Hippo

Gee, that was SMRT

ArmedandHammered

1st play, flag, injury, ejection. Good start.

Spur

Asshole. Spat on Dak.

Col. Duke LaCross

And the Bears didn’t draft Jalen Carter because of behavioral problems?

fleshwound_NPG

first play:

a dead player
a flag
a fight
an ejection

welcome to philly

fleshwound_NPG

and a spit!

ArmedandHammered

All Philly women watching – “I wish I got that much foreplay.”

ArmedandHammered

I Blair witched, although it looks like we posted at same time.

Horatio Cornblower

“You can’t hit a ball harder than that” says Michael Kay, as the centerfielder easily runs down Aaron Judge’s line drive short of the warning track.

/don’t get me wrong, Judge smoked that thing, but there is demonstrable evidence that Judge can, in fact hit a ball harder than that.

Spur

The Wall of Tyler

LemonJello

BLEERGH making their presence known early this season.

ballsofsteelandfury

NO DAYS OFF!

Nepo Coach vs Meatball Coach

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Weird that Andy Reid wouldn’t be involved in that matchup in some way.

ArmedandHammered

He eats the loser.

oh god dallas

When you wanted a Shanahan, but ordered from Temu.

Brocky

Which Shanahan?

Horatio Cornblower

We have Kyle Shanahan at home…
