Your NFC Championship Open Thread

I just have no clue who is going to take this one.

To The Game!

Rams/Seahawks:

-That devastating Seattle D? It hasn’t allowed a run or pass play of over 20 yards in three straight games. That’s absurd. I do think that someone from the Rams receiving corps will break that streak today however.

-It gets better. In their last fourteen games they’ve allowed 20+ points only three times.

-Darnold has a built-in excuse for folding today no matter how oblique it is. This team is custom-built for him to lead them to the W just by playing error-free ball. Speaking of, he’s had just the one interception in his last three tilts so he deserves credit for that.

-His counterpart (counterpoint?) Stafford sports a 7/1 TD/INT split over his last three but was sent to the sod 4 times last week by a Bears defense that was more known for being opportunistic than aggressive.

-Stafford has thrown for 250+ yards for seven straight outings.

-Seattle is favored by 2.5.

-Look for yard-churner Nacua to get a few rushes in order to give the opposing D something to think about. He probably won’t score a TD, that’s Davante’s job.

-With Charbonett out don’t be surprised if you see George Holani getting some playing time. He was on IR but practiced in full a few times this week. As well, Cam Akers-remember that one-year wonder?- has been lifted from the practice squad.

-With these teams so evenly matched and so familiar with each other I think the outcome is determined by the number of errors committed and more interesting, the chess game played by the coaches.

It’s all yours.

Mr. Ayo

Waste that timeout genius boy.

That’s a 1st down.

Horatio Cornblower

I did not understand what the announcers were yammering on about; that was clearly a 1st.

litre_cola

This is not going the way I like.

ArmedandHammered

I swear the music in that racing commercial was from the video game Dungeon Runners.

Horatio Cornblower

I refuse to believe that there is a race car driver named Pato O’Ward.

That’s just one goddamn bridge too far.

Jimbo

Yeah, O’Ward, what the hell is that!

Redshirt

Work canceled work tomorrow. Would Overtime be an unpopular opinion?

Horatio Cornblower

I should probably check and see if there’s anything I’m going to miss tomorrow while shoveling snow.

Unsurprised

Too much beer. Should’ve gotten vodka.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

There’s still time

Unsurprised

The body is weak

Brick Meathook

Surprise Surprise! This website is up!

Advanced stats be damned, kick the field goal!

Redshirt

Agreed. Too far to go. Only reason to go is field position, but that’s a stretch.

Don T

A FG would’ve civered! O Gsmblor, why did you tempt me with your leopar bustier and mercurial wiles1!1!

Senor Weaselo

The bourble’s hitting?

Horatio Cornblower

Might as well, the cover apparently isn’t.

ArmedandHammered

Even in bourble he is one smooth talker.

ArmedandHammered

Is it “in bourble” or “bourbled”?

Mr. Ayo

No need to despair. Our very special QB has the game in his hands now.

Redshirt

Yeah, I didn’t feel like winning the actual spread and the alternative spread, anyway. EDIT: Nevermind, I can’t math.

Ok Darnold, it is time for you to see a couple ghosts here.

Horatio Cornblower

Seattle defender breaks up the pass on 4th down in the end zone and is gonna shit talk the ref about an interference call?

Say what you will about Seattle, they’re not splitting atoms in their off-time.

Redshirt

Interesting strategy annoying the guys who decided what is or is not a penalty.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I always said that beer guy Rob was better than son of spam

Offer does not apply if LA wins

Mr. Ayo

Now would be an appropriate time to stop a 4th down conversion

Redshirt

Now this would be an appropriate time to go for it.

Redshirt

…not sure about this one.

Unsurprised

There’s less D than in the Favre bedroom.

litre_cola

This has been a phenomenal game.

WCS

Which means the Owl will finish 37-10 Patriots, regardless of who wins this.

rockingdog

This game has been ROCKINGGGGG!!! 🤘

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Anyone else drunk or just me?

Don T

Imma get high-er #Solidarity

Horatio Cornblower

Gonna start soon.

Mr. Ayo

Not just you

Unsurprised

No you are

BrettFavresColonoscopy

How dare you

Unsurprised

Who dares wins

Redshirt

C’mon Seahawks. Don’t make me root for the Rams four years after they beat my Bengals in the Superb Owl. That would be Darkest Timeline worthy, but I’d still don’t want to do it!

WCS

Which of you looked at Lowratio cross-eyed? I TOLD you that causes issues.

Horatio Cornblower

Don’t even think about saying his name backwards!

SonOfSpam

(Murtaugh voice) I’m gettin too old for this shit

Bogdanski

Stop calling me needy, internet! I’ll make as many requests as I want

Redshirt

SHHH! You’ll piss off the Internet Gods again!

Redshirt

Good News, I’m hitting parlays left and right making up for goose-eggs left and right from the AFC Stinker.

Bad news, I passed on the TD one because those never hit and I didn’t feel like winning $1,600.

No, that was righteous. YOU HURT FEELINGS, YOU PAY.

Hey, we’re back! And not committing stupid taunting penalties!

Gatoraids

Redshirt

So in the NFC, are pass defensing optional?

Mr. Ayo

You cannot stop or contain JSN.

Redshirt

Uh oh, Playoff Sam Darnold is threatening to make an appearance.

litre_cola

Need that in a hurry please.

SonOfSpam

Slow danced to this at my prom. Got felt up. It’s ok, he was gentle.

Gumbygirl

Did he give you a nice corsage?

SonOfSpam

No no, that wasn’t my date, that was a priest cornering me in the bathroom. Sorry, should have led with that.

King Hippo

Boy howdy, you fo NOT wanna know what that is prison slang fer…

Gumbygirl

Oh no. No I feel like I have to look it up.

litre_cola

I think he thinks that RAMMING IT is gentle. To each their own.

Gatoraids

NUZZZZZZZZZZLLLLEIT

fleshwound_NPG

RAMMMITTT has a much better chance at beating the pats: J-E-S-T darnold would return if he saw the ghosts of pats past

Doktor Zymm

Also it wouldn’t be a stupid recent rematch

jjfozz

Darnold’s cousin made it to the game.

B9XiWGrCIAAEgH8
The Maestro

I am ordering the boy his first Pats team gear as we speak. I fully intend on being insufferable the next few weeks.

litre_cola

As opposed to when?

SonOfSpam

Just wait a few weeks and get the ones that end up in Africa.

Senor Weaselo

Is the boy in Pats gear a sandwich?

Gumbygirl

I look forward to the day when everybody has to wear those gigantic helmets.

fleshwound_NPG

Special Olympians are ALL WINNERS, silly goose!

WCS

Are you able to smile? Did both sides of your mouth lift equally?

Are you able to hold your arms out in front of you? Think Frankenstein’s monster…

Repeat this after me: “Early bird catches the worm.”

This is what we do with potential stroke patients.

Beerguyrob

Is this one of those “if I was being held hostage” posts? Can you tell us where you are?

SonOfSpam

It’s bleak. Ohio.

Beerguyrob

There’s no Bleak, Ohio in my atlas. I assume you mean Youngstown.

litre_cola

You have Matt Gaetz’s interest piqued.

litre_cola

Need a speshul int right now.

King Hippo

Oh yeah, in a few weeks we will have the Olympics to ignore. Kewl.

Jimbo

Also the world cup to ignore señor.

SonOfSpam

(fingers crossed for boycotts…ain’t gonna happen, but it would be funny as fuck)

Senor Weaselo

No, I’m just gonna do the Turkish team and make a reference to their genocide denials.

SonOfSpam

Ok, last two plays, missed PI, missed face mask. Cool. The crowd is the 12s, the refs are the 13s.

(always important to establish excuses early, that’s playoff football)

litre_cola

We deserve to win our bet.

SonOfSpam

We really do.

Beerguyrob

Does anyone else think it’s pretty fucking rich of Tom Brady to say things like, “unless it draws blood, no flag”?

fleshwound_NPG

hockey playoffs are still several months away

SonOfSpam

Stood out in a big stupid way

Gatoraids

think jiu jitsu woulda changed his mind

Downfield Matriculator

NE goes to the SB again, DFO goes offline, half the nation is apparently burning their furniture to stay warm, ICE continues to murder Minnesotans. . . only a couple seals to go before we hit 7.

fleshwound_NPG

one more sb loss and the greatriots will be .500 with a record 6 losses

and they look like mediocre shit on offense

AND THEY LOSS TO THE RAIDERS, AT HOME

King Hippo

I’m starting to get scared even trying to imagine how shit gets worse.

Know that it will, though.

Spur

The Cubs winning in 2016 was the catalyst for all this mess.

King Hippo

Us humble #BFIB tried to warn y’all smgdh

SonOfSpam

Ok, the warmup quarter was cute, let’s proceed to RAMMMMMMMMMMING IT

litre_cola

Really need the RAMMENING to happen.

Jimbo

Or maybe some Ramening.

Gumbygirl

I had ramen for lunch, and I shared it with my cat. He doesn’t use chopsticks though, he’s more of a slurper.

Doktor Zymm

I have a cat eating ramen neon light in my kitchen!

LA fans don’t deserve an SB but Hawks fans are economy size douchebags.

Mr. Ayo

Hey, I’m full sized douchebag.

HOX!!!

litre_cola

I figured you would hate the HEAUX due to the musical stylings of Micheal McDonald formerly of Baltimore fame.

jjfozz

Oh, you mean the biggest mistake the Ravens have made since drafting Sergio Kindle?
