Your Very Third Sunday NFL Football Open Thread

No hobos as far as the eye can see this week.

TO THE GAME!

Broncos/Chiefs:

-Yay! Drew Lock is back under center. He throws the league’s highest rate of uncatchable balls at a staggering 27%. But, he’s also abysmal under pressure so those two things do the opposite of offsetting each other.

-So pour some out for Jerry Jeudy-not surprisingly he is third in the league in having those same uncatchable balls thrown his way. He has no issues getting open. (saw him turn Xavien Howard inside out and be wide open in the endzone but, you know…)

-The last time these two played no Denver wideout had more than 45 yards. Ugly. It’s difficult to imagine a game script whereby Denver can keep up to K.C.

-Look for CEL (the Chiefs are ‘hopeful’ he’ll be okay to go after coming down with the flu) or some combo of Bell and Williams to get mucho carries as K.C. pulls away in the second, third and fourth quarters.

-Kelce should bounce back this game after getting all of three(!) targets last week.

-Or maybe Tyreek goes off again and engages “Target Hog” status. Starting slot corner Bryce Callahan is out and will be replaced by Essang Bassey. As Shirley’s grandson*, he’ll be muttering to himself a little bit of History Repeating every time Hill grabs a catch.

*may not be even remotely factual

Type on, brave lads and lassies!

I’m super drunk, but Adventure Time told me to be cool. Night y’all.

Bloody Lethal

And now Elizabeth Olsen movie is on my television set?

I can’t believe my team beat the Seahawks today with Colt McCoy at QB.

Did it really happen?

Joint ashes optional?

Sharkbait

Hippo said no parlays.

Mahomes not getting 3 TDs killed my 4 prop parlay.

Lesson learned.

Horatio Cornblower

Is there a celebrity you want to hit more than I want to hit Jimmy Fallon?

Dunstan

Nope.

Dunstan

Next question: is there a celebrity who you find funnier than Jimmy Fallon thinks Jimmy Fallon is?

Mr. Ayo

Guys, I think the Donks might be in trouble here.

Viva La Tabula Raza

At least it wasn’t the gore-fest I anticipated.

Doktor Zymm

Nevermind

Me, watching that last breakaway shot:

When I’m awake, I’m eating ribs.

Dunstan

When Andy Reid says he needs to spend many hours reviewing the game film, he means that shot of the ribs.

Doktor Zymm

Sorry Hippo, but enjouying the lack of Jeudy.

Col. Duke LaCross

Neckbeard!!

Horatio Cornblower

If Tyreek Hill ever gets hit by a bus the first thing I’m going to do is make sure the bus is OK.

Just a complete piece of shit.

Cecil Rhodes

He becomes more and more like AB with every game.

Horatio Cornblower

I actually think that’s insulting to AB, and that’s hard to do.

Don T

Now now. Being unprofessional, temperamental, stiffing contractors, and defending from sexual assault allegations are perfectly presidential qualities.

Bloody Lethal

The Kansas City Wifebeaters does have a ring to it.

WCS

Nice hands, Feet.

The competitive portion of this fixture sure was fun!

Horatio Cornblower

Love that ad that promises me the smell of Grandma’s home cooking.

Takeout pizza and take out fried chicken!? Hell yeah, buddy, Grandma ain’t cooking while there’s gin to put in a glass, wave some vermouth over, and call it a martini!

Sharkbait

The Churchill special?

Horatio Cornblower

No, Grandma liked her gin, but she never got bogged down in a fruitless peninsular campaign that depended on extremely extended supply lines and against a dug-in foe defending it’s homeland.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I visited Gelibolu (Gallipoli) when we lived in Turkey 50 years ago. Interesting place.

Horatio Cornblower

Probably not a place to go wandering about with a metal detector.

Gumbygirl

Are you my cousin? That was my Grandma too, but it was bourbon Manhattans.

Horatio Cornblower

I believe we’re both in the 50-60 range, and that was pretty much all of our grandmothers. TV dinners on TV trays and don’t interrupt Grandma’s TV stories.

Horatio Cornblower

(My grandmother is actually really cool, but very much not a cook, and still kicking at 96)

Gumbygirl

Mine made it to 96, and she was a bag of cats! She had a blast during prohibition, total flapper!

Viva La Tabula Raza

Mine died at 98 in 2012, but I still have some pix of her as a flapper in the late 20s/early 30s. She was pretty hot.

Sharkbait

C’mon Patrick. 2 more passing TDs

Horatio Cornblower

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH!!!

Cecil Rhodes

No need to get upset. He’s talking about Tim Patrick.

Horatio Cornblower

Go get ’em, Tim!

Cecil Rhodes

Al Michaels narrating a gambling graphic. How fitting.

Horatio Cornblower

How totally unusual.
/makes dismissive wanking motion and realizes I’ve started shooting craps.

YOU, ALL RIGHT AL!? I LEARNED IT BY WATCHING YOU!!!

Sharkbait

Hard 8?

Doktor Zymm

It’s okay to buy the 8, but don’t do the hardways

Sharkbait

I’m all about the inside 5-6-8-9

Doktor Zymm

Winner winner I think? Not totally sure about the football/craps translation, and I ain’t paying out personally in any case.

Dunstan

Eh, maybe 4 1/2″ at most

Horatio Cornblower

Beats me. I have never understood craps.

King Hippo

Really good throw, too. Not at all easy.

Horatio Cornblower

Lock is a decent QB with good upside if he can keep it together.

And Elway didn’t use his first pick to overdraft him! It’s a Xmas miracle!

King Hippo

Patrick? STAR!

clint greasewood

Tera?

Horatio Cornblower

No, this Patrick’s highlights can be shown on commercial TV.

Mr. Ayo

This isn’t an ass whooping, but the Donks are holding their own.

Horatio Cornblower

Touchdown Seahawks!

King Hippo

Upon appeal WOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
