“It’s Thursday Football Again!” Your Open Thread

Out of curiosity I took a wee peek at all the Thursday evening games and there looks to be a focus on divisional games so at the very least the tilts will mean something. I mean, who wants to see a Texans/Jags-type game on primetime? And by the way, the Thanksgiving tripleheader is excellent.

Flotsam & Jetsam:

-Purdy looks to be gone multiple weeks as he doubled up on his injuries, suffering a turf toe-ish thing as well as a shoulder owie. Into the breach is Magic Mac (Jones) whose first start will be vs the Saints so there shouldn’t be too much worry there.

-He’s fast and a virus that can affect both a locker room and virtually any domestic situation negatively. The Fins are dissembling before your eyes and Tyreek will be gone before week 6. Trouble is, the Miami brain trust probably thinks that they can get a 3rd-rounder for him. Silly boys!

-Chris Godwin was back at practice just under a year after absolutely wrecking his ankle. I hope he’s not rushing back too quick because rook wr Egbuka has shown that the former might be expendable.

To The Game!

Commies/Packers:

-Deebo Usage: If you’ve watched him over the years you saw that he was a guy that did really well on slant plays, usually breaking a tackle and getting extra yards. OC Kingsbury had something a little different in mind, having him make 5 catches that were thrown more than 10 air yards down the field-something he’s done only six times in his entire career.

-According to PFF’s metrics Jayden Daniels graded out in the Top Ten in both throwing and running categories. The latter ability impressed me (even though it was vs the Giants) in that he’s got both the escapability and speed of a younger Mahomes.

-Let’s not forget his counterpart Love, who hasn’t thrown a pick in eight straight regular season games. (although there was that 3 INT playoff game against the Eagles in the playoffs sandwiched in there)

-I’m curious to get another look at rook rb Croskery-Merritt because he had 82 yards on 10 carries. But taking a closer look there, if you subtract the one long run of 42 yards that ypc average dips to 4.4. So the question becomes, “Did he get lucky and break a long one or is he that type of back that is a threat to break free on a semi-regular basis?” Fantasy goobers must know!

Bring your best.

jordan love getting his ring during his age 27 year, just as favre and rodgers before his, would be annoying as fuck but the good news means he and the packers will embarrassingly win jack shit after this

WCS

It also guarantees he’ll have a spiteful, passive-aggressive divorce from the Packers, and be the mega-YUGE free agent signing with the Jest in 2033.

Oh Bleergh please
As a Packer fan I Sooooo want this to happen again

Charlie Kirk did some good work with crosses, but he burned them all afterward.

fleshwound_NPG

they wanna make charlie kirk’s death an even bigger deal, while the feds botch the chase into getting the shooter that still be roaming free

probably not a good idea, you guys!

blaxabbath

I am ALL OVER FoxNews’ various stations just hopping between Charlie coverage and analysis. A couple points:

  1. Most of these fools don’t seem to get that Kirk’s death is their opportunity to display the eulogy they will give for Trump. They’re talking about Kirk when Kirk isn’t Donald J Trump.
  2. There is a LOT of, “Oh I wouldn’t be surprised if law enforcement isn’t way ahead of this already.” and “I bet his family has seen this photo — the face of evil, by the way — and they’re already lining up lawyers because they know the FBI are coming.”
  3. Most likely sceanrio in the next 48 hours: in all their incompetence and unprofessionalism, MAGA is gonna release the entire, unabridged Epstein Files.
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

…the face of evil…

By this I take it that the suspect isn’t a white male?

Brocky

A Golden Tiddy would be appreciated. Hail Gamblor.

fleshwound_NPG

he caught that pass just like charlie kirk caught that bullet: a bunch of people cheered and a bunch of chuds in dc were angered and disgusted

Brocky

I feel like there’s a joke about the skin complexion or the people cheering, but we all know white people loved Charlie

Brocky

So I just tuned in, who’s 27th birthday is it?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Definitely not Charlie Kirk’s.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Grumble. I feel like I used up all my A material. Come on, Rikki, get it together.

LemonJello

You can’t just shotgun the jokes. Take a deep breath, hold it, focus your aim and then fire off the joke.

I’m sure it’ll hit the clubhouse like a well aimed rifle and the laughs will flow like arterial spurt from a neck wound.

blaxabbath

Is there such a thing as a low-powered rifle?

Does the hot blonde on the TV have any clue what she’s saying when she mouths the sounds, “thirty-aught-six”?

ArmedandHammered

More like low powered ammo, such as a .22 short we usually used for target practice and squirrel hunting.

Brocky

Jesus christ dude

Hate you for making laugh at this

fleshwound_NPG

love’s this nov

Brocky

Alright tell me I’m not the only one getting vertigo from the new camera angles

blaxabbath

Trump might want to get a big feather boa on which to hang Charlie Kirk’s medal of whatever.

You know — to draw the peep-holes away from Charlie’s old creep-hole, knowwhatimean?

Evening all. Hotel internet has let me down as I cannot get the game to stream. The Oregon Duck’s are staying at the same hotel as we are in Chicago. I thought the players would be bigger.

Doktor Zymm

You’re thinking of the Oregon Geese

Brocky

I had some classes with football players at IU, and I agree I thought most of the players would be larger.

Then again was the worst fucking team in the conference, so it makes sense they were on the small side

clint greasewood

I like to think Kirk Herbsteit plays a card game of canasta with Al Michaels and Lee Corso as they talk about the good ole days were slapping a women for getting out of line.

I regret not being retired. Else I would be an early adopter to “Charlie Kirk Cementary Plot Tourism”.

I’d be the most trusted on Trip Advisor because I’ll have a waste-dumping permit.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

All these news networks rehabbing Charlie Kirk’s image are like “Really, the worst thing you could say about him is that he got fantastically wealthy by selling poisoned candy to children…”

You know who doesn’t look so stupid now?

QBs should have to choose either all slides or no slides before each game. It’s worse when they actually shoulder fake a slide but even without that defenders are all trained to let up when tackling them

Having just spent a day celebrating a man being shot in the throat I suppose it would be hypocritical of me not rejoice when a broken collarbone aids my parlay.

I’m surprised there hasn’t been a presidential decree that singles are real cheese. I welcome it.

is Green Bay legit good? Don’t think I approve of that.

Doktor Zymm

Imma wait to pass judgement, mostly because their WR situation was really irritating for fantasy last year and I’m not sure they can overcome that

You can’t choke away a lead without getting a lead?

The entire NFC North are very good-to-Superb Owl contenders. The only franchise that will ever win any Owls will be Green Bay, and Green Bay alone.

Because we touch ourselves every night.

Doktor Zymm

Nice job Trey Amos! Looks like there are a few decent rookie defensive backs this year

clint greasewood

You know Al Micheals is a big fan of Daniels and nawt Jayden but Jack.

Doktor Zymm

Bill, as Croskey-Merritt conveniently goes by, is likely going to have an Alfred Morris type rookie year with the advantage of a faster cut.

Love lucked out with the dropped interception last week. No idea if the Washington D is actually better or if it was just the Giants with Charmslinger so looking forward to seeing how this week goes

you are correct, sir

Gatoraids

depends on how much fantasy action you got in it, rolling Jayden and Ertz so even garbage could be entertainment

WCS

This has potential to be an entertaining Thursday night game, and you’re looking to bounce? Do you know how rare these are? You’re more likely to hit the $1.2 billion Powerball while simultaneously being launched into space as Elon’s guest, along with Limberg’s baby and Bigfoot.

Ha ha, everybody knows that history in Chicago ended on January 26, 1986.

Sharkbait

Speaking of primetime games, there’s discussion of going to the December 1st Giants-Patriots Monday night game in Foxboro. Mrs. Sharkbait and her Brother being Giants fans are interested, as am I. However, given the state of these two franchises, I’m willing to bet that game gets flexed out at the earliest possible moment.
