Your “Welcome To Game 1! Only 266 More To Go” Thursday Night Football Open Thread

Jesus Bananacakes! I don’t even know where to begin. I guess I should welcome all you folks back from your non-self-imposed hiatus from the football. It’s nice to see you and my, that ‘no pants’ look really suits you. That chip dip stain on your wife beater should come out just fine, if ever you decide to do laundry again. Hey, I’m kidding. So yes, hello there all you swiggers, sidewalkers, ne’er do-weller’s, hellcats, harlots, schemers, backdoor men, railway cops, geezers, sneezers, dreamers, jive bombers, beard holders, machinists, taffy stretchers, Barbie dolls, tailpipe enthusiasts, shoe smellers, cis-goths, rhubarb lickers, Big Daddies, greasers and what have you.

I’d also like to give a shout-out to all the fellers that pitched in to make all that off-season content. (’cause I sure didn’t but I was very active in the comment section ) We learned quite a bit about soccer, cycling, tennis, golf, basketball, baseball and most importantly, each other. I mean, who knew that the mere presence of a 19 or 20 year-old competitor in the Women’s World Cup could so easily bring out the inner creep in all of us. Maybe some of us. Okay, a select few of us. Whatever, that’s in the past-we’re looking forward now. I’ll never forget you Becky…

Unlike the NFL. Did you hear it’s the 100th season of that little underdog league that morphed into the goliath that it is now? If not, you will and you will be sorry-at some point. My guess is that tonight there’ll be some Walter Payton shots accompanied by the delicate plucking of strings.

Enough of this. You know the drill. TO THE GAME!

Packers/Bears:

I don’t think I’m much wrong perspicating* that this tilt holds a fair bit of weight, even this early in the season. The Vikes as well as these guys will be jostling for position in a ‘should be’ competitive NFC North division all year long. I larfed a bunch when rook coach Matt Lafleur (no relation to Guy Lafleur) said that qb Rodgers would be ‘allowed’ to audible plays as though Mr. New Head Guy had any choice in the matter. The Chicago D is good but if you’re in a deep league and have 6′ 3″ Geronimo Allison, go ahead and play him. He’s up against 5′ 7″ slot corner Buster Skrine. Not only is Skrine small, he’s also lousy! Given that Bears te Burton is out your touchdown vulture tonight will be a certain Adam Shaheen. Prepare to shout his name to the heavens.

That’s it. Comment like you’ve commented before!

*perspicating is not a real word. Do not use in real-life situations unless trying to fuck with someone. Continued use of this ‘word’ may result in quizzical looks, disparaging comments behind your back, a sit-down with HR, divorce, indulging in necromancy and chronic back pain.

WOW. What a fucked up game.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Wow that punter looks exactly like a McPoyle

WCS

Perfect ending.

Mr. Ayo

Just terrible. Not even close on these open throws.

Horatio Cornblower

They may as well punt here for all the good Trubisky is doing.

When this game started, I was fucking up JK Scott’s name for JK Simmons, and was very confused as to how a veteran Hollywood actor getting an NFL roster spot wasn’t a bigger training camp story.

Senor Weaselo

He’s just there to get information on Spider-Man. Because that’s better than an M&M’s joke.

makeitsnowondem

Adrian Amos is wondering how many times he has to win the game.

King Hippo

as soon as it was kicked, you knew there would be a block in the back

Plotline: An ex-infantryman from NZ is backpacking around the US. Due to a weird bar bet, he trades identities with TruthBiscuit. He starts the game, scores on the first drive, and thus begins the era of the ANZAC BISCUIT

Horatio Cornblower

Goddammit, Zymm.

Viva La Tabula Raza

We would like your permission to write a song about this.

The Maestro

“Mmm, delicious! Oh, wait, were you talking about the cookies?” – AR12

Unsurprised

There was a Marvel event a decade ago that was set off with the U-Foes blowing up Soldier Field during a MNF or TNF game to pin the blame on Volstagg and thus the Asgardians (false flag for the U.S. government to invade Asgard, which was floating 8 feet above Broxton, Oklahoma at the time).

The idea that anyone would be outraged if this game ended because the stadium blew up is the most fantastic part of that whole scenario.

Dick E. Phuck

This was as bad as watching an episode of Bluff City Law.

When it doubt, never trust a Chicago QB.

Unsurprised

THAT’S the Chicago Way

Duchess

When they Punt you punt shorter,
They put up a touchdown you put up a field goal
They take the lead you throw an interception… thats the chicago way!

Unsurprised

BANNER THIS MOTHERFUCKER!

Horatio Cornblower

Might be too long, but otherwise seconded.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Why is Mahomes friends with a man 15 years his senior? Is this one of those Catholic things? Are those guys even Catholic?

Horatio Cornblower

Must…not…make…on their…knees…joke.

Sharkbait

C’mon. You’re blowing this opportunity.

Senor Weaselo

Rodgers is friends with him because he doesn’t see him like a brother.

Horatio Cornblower

The guy talking about his team’s mascot having his uniform on backwards is clearly a Bears fan.

And the mascot is Turbisky.

Senor Weaselo

Well Mahomes has joined in on the no longer Discount Double-Check

BrettFavresColonoscopy

This loss is on Nagy

King Hippo

between this and the RRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!! Owl performance, not been a great few games for offensive savants

Viva La Tabula Raza

The 1985 SB victory remains the Chicago high point for yet another year.

Only that last time.

well,,

Duchess

If that light touching was Offensive interference than hooking the wrs arms should be defensive PI

Horatio Cornblower

It’s cute that you think the same rules apply to the offense and defense in today’s NFL.

King Hippo

13 combined points, weather is just fine

Unsurprised

This seems relevant.

Senor Weaselo

At least there were zero doinks?

Horatio Cornblower

The Bears self-raped their 2017 draft for that.

Brocky

Fuck it, he had to try something
