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.

 

Nothing To See Here GIFs | Tenor

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?

What Dak actually said:

“Yeah, that’s the way I spit on yo mommas thang last night!”

Love how Cris praises Hurts for picking up that first down as the replay shows a textbook hold on #54 from Dallas. Should have been 3rd and 12.

That said, didn’t mean for Dak to hit you in the hands three times in the second half, Cee Dee. Maybe latch onto one of those like that fake grill’s latched on to your teeth and we don’t have to worry about the last minute.

Beerguyrob

The scary thing is that it was a perfectly winnable game for the Cowboys.

Horatio Cornblower

Lamb absolutely cost them that game. Two very catchable balls and a 3rd that was tougher but that a Top-WR taking up that much of your salary cap should catch.

On the other hand, sad Jerry Jones.

fleshwound_NPG

8-track Lamb, imo

Horatio Cornblower

Nice.

A vote for TPS for President is a vote for an Executive Order on Day 1 making it a federal offense for Cris Colingsworth to say Tush Push.

That is the question.

It’s CDon’t!

Does anyone want to win this game?

Wow. Yahoo fantasy football has become enshitified. Or else I just can’t deal with this year’s changes but where can one see all the league matchups’s scoreboard? The “match up” used to show the head to head with a link to “league match ups”? I can’t it anywhere but I’m willing to be labelled a dumbass if someone else finds it

Bogdanski

Also, sick of Colinsworth already

Sharkbait

/All of us 10 seconds into this broadcast

Gumbygirl

I’ve been sick of him since the early 80’s.

Mr. Ayo

Hover over Matchups and the link shows there for me.

Bogdanski

Thanks. Found it. I guess it was just me being drunkified

OK I’m back. Looks like I missed… not damn thing…

I did one. That was enough. But I am old as fuck. Back in my day, the shame shot was Southern Comfort. Barf.

Dammmit, now that’s all I can think about! I have some lightly breaded chicken chunks and a couple of Eggos in my freezer, tomorrow I will have the white trash version ! At least I have some really good maple syrup. I haven’t been to Roscoe’s , but we used to go to Gladys Knight’s in Atlanta for c and w. It was sublime.

George Pickens. Eagles have the ball? Doesn’t matter. George Pickens is the most likely answer.

We may have gotten here too early.

Play to resume at 23:30 EST.

That’s usually Fallon’s timeslot, so maybe the weather gods were actually looking out for us!

“…and now as a special treat, Jimmy Fallon and Cris Collinsworth are going to be your commentators for the rest of the game.”

Looking to get a downvote are ye…?

Ahh! Nosferatu!

Oh wait, that’s just Tony Dungy

The lights to the studio will flicker on and off…

Tony Dungy used to practice hanging around in these situations?

Well, that joke’s just low-hanging fruit, so I’m gonna leave it alone.

FUCK YOU, HOUSTON, AND FOR THAT MATTER THE ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS!!! YOU LEFT THE BASES LOADED. YOU WERE DOWN 8-4 WITH YOUR 4TH AND 5TH HITTERS UP AND 1 OUT AND THEY BOTH STRUCK OUT!!!!

God I hate the fucking Asterisks.

nobody likes the yankees.

EVERYBODY hates the stros

Gonna be very interesting in a few hours when Dallas finds a remarkably Dallas way to lose after a four-hour delay.

Horatio Cornblower

They’re already facing an insurmountable 3-pt deficit.

If your defense can’t stop anyone, you can’t make that up. It’s just math.

SonOfSpam

lol Cowboy fans think 24-20=3

SonOfSpam

I don’t like the Yankees, but they’re fine gentlemen compared to the Altuve JoyBuzzers.

Love to hear that the garbage can banging shitbags lost the game in the most gut wrenching way possible.

Oooo. That sweet, sweet rush of schadenfreude is so heady.

Oh, did that piece of shit Carlos Correa strike out with the bases loaded after being up 3-1. Aw, boo-hoo cheater. Go take you WWE villain act back to the bench you washed up sack of shit.

What the fuck is this? SHUT UP!

Yup. “Imma win Jerruh a superbowl for ma dead daddy!!”

The bases are loaded, it’s 8-4, and the Yankees closer has decided that the strike zone is best avoided.

wonder how much spit was in them cold cuts…

Gumbygirl

This boring shit has driven me to drink. That, and my vape needs recharging, and I can’t find that teeny little charger. I opened a bottle of Juggernaut Pinot Noir. It tastes like grapes. Colorful label. Not fancy, but I like it.

ThePirateSloth

It’s wine that seems to ask “Do you know who the fuck I am?”

Beerguyrob

I don’t know who’s seen this, but there’s probably going to be 25,000 cops at the Seahawks-Niners game on Sunday.

*sigh*

Unsurprised

And I’m sure none of them will try to start shit just to arrest some poor drunk assholes.

Horatio Cornblower

Be a real shame if a couple of undercover cops got their asses beat.

Gumbygirl

Dumped in Puget Sound

blaxabbath

Dressing as a 49ers fan is basically a threat of violence. Whatever happens from there sounds entrapment to this potential juror.

Horatio Cornblower

One of the Asterisks just hit a double and the umpires immediately confiscated the bat.

This is hilarious.

Horatio Cornblower

The only thing I can see wrong with the bat is that it looks like the label was sandblasted off.

Horatio Cornblower

The double was allowed to stand but, ominously, the bat has been transferred to an “official” who is sitting near the field documenting the bat and tapping on a computer.

It’s like MLB said “Jalen Carter spit on Dak! and got thrown out? Well, we’ll show them!!”

Downfield Matriculator

Listening to the man literally voted dirtiest player in his day chastise Jalen Carter for “disappointing his teammates” is a odd thing to hear, sort of like a duck barking

Spur

Hate watch this to the bitter end or get a good sleep?

Horatio Cornblower

HATE WATCH! HATE WATCH! HATE WATCH!

Beerguyrob

HATE WEEK. HATE WEEK. HATE WEEK.

Unsurprised

Party down

ballsofsteelandfury

Clearly, the smart decision is good sleep but Cowboys fans are not exactly known for smart decisions.

ArmedandHammered

Neither is their ownership.

Yankees are up 8-3 in the bottom of the 9th, so if they blow this it’s on them. Which means it’s an excellent time to point out that the execution of the umpiring crew in this series is something that, like that coach of the Tampa Bay Bucs in their first season, I am very much in favor of.

Beerguyrob

Makes the world go ‘round.
