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.

In the meantime, the Nocturnes can’t push through to tie it in the middle innings before the pen falls apart. 12-6 Harrisville your final, so we go to the best words in all of dice.

Dice World Series Game 3. Tomorrow night. Branch. Falvo.

Unsurprised

He knows.

120 Minutes Playlist Project Update: I only really know MC 900 ft Jesus from Beavis and Butt-head, but I’m really impressed by this tune. He has really great flow.

As much as I enjoy eating pizza multiple times a year, I crave more novelty in my NFL games than I do in my diet. I fucking hate rematches.

BC Dick

But then the league wouldn’t last too long without rematches, right? Like 31 games each right now and then they just end the whole deal. I just don’t know if that’s sustainable.

Doktor Zymm

There are 16 teams in each conference. That’s 16^2 =256 possible Super Bowl matchups. You could easily go your entire life without seeing an Owl rematch

Sharkbait

It had to be done.

Come on. Not even the most diehard Jets fan is that delusional.

Gumbygirl

They’re Jets fans. Of course they’re delusional.

Senor Weaselo

I mean, about other things.

I’d say somehow I’m delusional in the other direction regarding the Jets, but I’m more right than wrong so I guess that’s not delusions.

Unsurprised

They’re depressed, not delusional.

bk109

Of course they’re delusional. Hell, they believe they’re a NY team when they’re based in New Jersey and thus giving off the same “vibe” as someone driving a base-spec 3-series diesel… but paying extra for the M-line trim, hoping to fool the world that his sub-taxi-grade Beemer is an M3 😀

Been getting the 429 Too many requests, error here this morning and a lot lately.

So what did I miss?

Brick Meathook

This site seems to down for an hour every other hour on the hour.

2Pack

Yeah for the past week I have been getting the 429 or 524 error about half of the time. After an hour or so I can get back on, but WordPress seems to be having a hissy with us.

Horatio Cornblower

It’s the only way we can get Internet Dad’s attention.

The opening of the Fourth Seal.

Doktor Zymm

We are working on it!

Grazie Cara

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Hey gang. I ended up missing the game because the Dr. Mrs. very thoughtfully made reservations at a nice Italian restaurant downtown. It probably wasn’t a very interesting game anyways, right?

2Pack

Italian food is very distracting. Time well spent. And a ton of Wifey points I bet.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It was very nice food.

Sharkbait

I made lasagna today for snow day dinner. Can confirm or was distracting.

Gumbygirl

I am re-running my shredded beef roast, but today it’s going on porcini risotto instead of mashed potatoes. It smells good, just warming up the leftover meat in the hot risotto.

Our winter meal last night was an old standard. Risotto with sausage and radicchio. Loving it LARGE!

Sharkbait

Risotto is awesome. I’m overdue on making some.

Gumbygirl

It’s easy too. People overcomplicate shit.

2Pack

The best thing is that it is very simple. One you have a couple of techniques down you just change up with seasonal veggies and you never get bored.

Gumbygirl

Exactly. And basically, the technique is “stir.”

Horatio Cornblower

We went simple tonight: meatloaf, peas, baked potato.

And by “we” I mean Mrs. Horatio did her usual excellent job in the kitchen and then I did the dishes.

Unsurprised

Is there a way you can get a tan and frostbite at the same time?

Get drunk on top of that, and you’ll have replicated the highs and lows of this game.

2Pack

Visit Grafenwohr Germany. I was there once in summer when it went from sunny to light snow flurries within an hour.

Gumbygirl

I got sunburned every time I went skiing, so yes.

They should make the Rams and Broncos play a game in East Africa or Central America, so all those T-shirts make sense.

At CECOT, those guys could use some entertainment.

In a parallel universe, Jim Kelly is the GOAT

Hmmmm. I used to be a Hox fan, they were my side bitch in the 80’s. I guess I want them to win the Owl.

I mean, look at the alternative

Break the Pats curse Darnold and exercise those ghosts

Beerguyrob

Somehow the Jets will try to claim it, cursing the whole effort.

Erin Andrews does love her some big-ass coats.

Better to block the peepholes with.

It’s nice to see Nacua not be able to get out of bounds, ending the game for his team. He seems like a very unlikeable dipshit.

Not ever trying to reach for the boundary line.

Lord Stanley’s Cup will always be the greatest trophy in sports, but that thing has at least got a foot in the door.

Bet they’d want those three points now, do they?!

Senor Weaselo

92 yards, 25 seconds, no time outs. Well then, good luck with that.

25 seconds left, no TOs.

For all the talk of parity there sure seem to be a slowly rotating cast of the same 20% of teams in the Owl.
I guess it’s more parity than wealth distribution in the US, but still

Well, baring Epic Bananacakes, most of us are now Sam Darnold fans for the next two weeks.
