When You Are More Interested In Who Is Going To Lose Thursday Night Open Thread

Wow, do we have the match up that you don’t want to see.  I mean, sure, maybe OBJ will make some glorious catch.  But, really, no one likes either team.  Just look at this schmuck.

"Public Intoxication" arrest which means he was being a dick

That’s a Jim Spanfeller-level punchable face.

Let’s talk about the Steelers first, though.  I’m still not sure how they corralled in the egos of Antonio Brown and that dude who now plays RB for the Jets.  Whatever his name is.  He doesn’t matter anymore, now that we know that O-line was the real reason that running backs do well in the Steelers system.  Good luck, Jets.

Tomlinson, who comes across like a real jackass in every interview he has ever done, going back to when he was 3 and someone asked him to sing the ABC’s, has done a fantastic job keeping this team on track.  I would like to think that he would be nice to someone in his life.  His wife?  Mom?  The sheep he drags to the bedroom and calls “Baker”?  I don’t know who, but there has to be someone.

At QB, they have some putz who is just a putz.  Middleman Putz might be his name.  That’s how much I care.  He’s serviceable, like a great many QBs you see in this league.  That’s good enough.

The defense on this team is still tough.  Not Patriots tough.  Not Niners tough.  Not Bills tough.  But, definitely not a cake walk.  That’s why they should win this game, and, also, because I like to hate on The Browns.

Now, let’s get to the part that is hard to talk about:  Flaker Mayfield and the Brown turds.

They finally won last week!  Yeah!  3 wins, baby.  They are definitely going all the way.  All the way to another top 10 draft pick, where they will probably draft a QB for when Mayfield becomes a backup on another team and fades into Oblivion.  (Side note:  I’m picking up Oblivion for the XB1 once I’m done playing Skyrim… again.)

But, last week was a fluke when you look at their season as a whole.  OBJ had catches.  Mayfield didn’t get intercepted (I would fact check that, but I don’t really want to).  They stopped the run.  Sort of, anyway, as the Bills should have ran it more, aside from Josh Allen.

This week, the Browns are going to have a hard time stopping the run.  The Steelers aren’t scoring a ton of rushing TDs, but they know how to utilize the run game effectively.  Kitchens doesn’t really garner a lot of surety as a head coach.  He is going to have to play his linebackers in a manner that negates the run.

Since this is a rivalry game, expect a fun game to watch.  Really, either team that loses is a win for us all.

“Fair weather fans are HILARIOUS to me…” – Emily Mayfield, wife of Baker, which means she made that choice voluntarily (that we know of), which should tell you everything you need to know about her

Still curious as to why the Browns are favored.  They are the Browns, after all.  Historical levels of losing that make Detroit fans jealous.

Talk about whatever below.

Why in the heck would you field a punt from your own 4?

Hashtag Pauls

Sharkbait

Climate change may swallow up the Browns stadium. It may improve the property value.

Recovery Whiskey

Half the stadiums in the NFL will be under water by 2050 if these climate change doomsayers are right

Sharkbait

I had to mess around with Plex for 10 minutes and missed an entire Browns possession.

BugEyedBoo

I blinked, and missed an entire Steelers possession.

I’m starting to think Rudolph may not be that good at footballing.

WCS

I’m pretty sure he’s the caller on The Mr. Obvious Show.

BugEyedBoo

Bring on duck caller guy.

jjfozz

The Good Liar, porn for old folks who don’t watch porn and can’t remember their last orgasm.

jjfozz

Im at that point in drinking right now that, back in the day, i would have said “fuck feeling good at work tomorrow” and gone out to get hurt.

Recovery Whiskey

But now you just sip whiskey or bourbon and laugh at it all before heading to bed at a sensible hour and waking up pretty much OK

jjfozz

Yes. Sigh.

WCS

All Rudolph does in the first half is throw checkdowns, and when he needs a 4th and 1?

FUCK IT HE’S GOIN’ DEEP

Recovery Whiskey

Plus one Sexy Rexy’s

Recovery Whiskey

That was damn near a Bears 46 defense there

jjfozz

IS LAMAR ELITE? IS HE? WAIT CAN A BLACK QB BE ELITE OR IS THAT JUST FOR THE WHITE GUYS? FUCK! GODDAMN

Recovery Whiskey

Laughs in Russell Wilson

jjfozz

THIS BROWNS SPECIAL TEAMS, I CALL THEM REDNECKS, BECAUSE THEY’RE ALL A BUNCH OF SHIT KICKERS!

jjfozz

Stephen Dorff was the mack daddy in the last season of True Detective. Coudl I possibly want to watch a show on broadcast tv?

BugEyedBoo

Also Deacon Frost in Blade.

jjfozz

TJ Watt: the guy in high school who was in the back seat of the car, drunk, and wouldn’t shut the fuck up after the cops pulled you over and were thinking about letting you go. Just would NOT shut up. So you and him fought it out behind the Wal Mart.

Horatio Cornblower

I know that guy!

Recovery Whiskey

That was an impressive miss

Recovery Whiskey

Refs still in the tank for Pittsburgh

jjfozz

Word Problem:

If Mrs. Fozz is traveling towards the Fozz Lair at 43.5 mph, and Fozz and Spawn are sitting in a house that’s full of pizza crust, old beer cans, and unfolded laundry, how many milliseconds does it take for a huge fight to break out after Mrs. Fozz walks into the house?

Please show all of your work

WCS

Bourble

Sharkbait

Assuming pizza boxes and cans are stacked by the door, waiting to be taken out (eventually) .25 seconds from door fully open.

Recovery Whiskey

Surprised they didnt call PI on that

Recovery Whiskey

Is there a dog you can blame it on?

Gumbygirl

Has anyone else noticed that Troy Aikman is turning into John Madden? Kill it with fire!

Senor Weaselo

Hey, Madden did useful things!

Gumbygirl

Hate to break it to you, but Madden didn’t actually invent those video games

“here’s a guy who when he gets hammered in his head bleeds out of his ears.”

Horatio Cornblower

More and more this year he seems to be heading into Phil Simms territory. Garbling his words, getting lost halfway through a statement.

CTE never loses.

blaxabbath

Shut up, Troy.

Mr. Ayo

Hey look, I’m doing my best dammit.

blaxabbath

This CLE crowd is weak.

I don’t want to hear about the passionate loveable loser fan base that gets treated like they’re special just to be flailing in a 14-0 lead over a rival and it’s this quiet.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

The Dog Pound can get fucked sideways with a claw hammer. Walking around this off-season all chesty and shit because they got Odell and Mayfield’s in every commercial.

blaxabbath

I’m no expert but I’m not sold on Baker. He seems like a more intelligent (but also more emotional) Jameis Winston.

Recovery Whiskey

Its all about the mic placement and audio mix. How crowds sound how they do on TV is out of the hands of the crowd.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Jay Sam on my bench in favor of Conner.

Grumble grumble.

blaxabbath

I believe the proper pronunciation is Jason.

Horatio Cornblower

I’m paying so little attention that I have both of them playing

BugEyedBoo

Should just offer “Field” for the entire PIT offense.

litre_cola

Unfortunate occurrence.

blaxabbath

How’s Deci?

litre_cola

Great. Asleep thank bleergh.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Cleveland is gaining a lot of yardage on this Pittsburgh drive.

Sharkbait

BLEERGH has come! All hail BLEERGH!

blaxabbath

Too many flags.

Recovery Whiskey

Barely touches him. Reverse the jerseys and thats not a penalty

Senor Weaselo

If he’s Brady it’s subject to execution. I don’t know what the hit was, but I’m not wrong.

litre_cola

Oh Bleergh is pleased on this drive.

Recovery Whiskey

Im just here for Pittsburgh being beat up. Long overdue

Brocky

The refs have something to say about that

blaxabbath

“They may have to eject him and — wait, is that guy bleeding from his ear?”

Crowd: [‘Bullshit’ Chant]

Sharkbait

How the fuck is Mike Pereira trying to justify a non ejection right now?

hippofant

The official saying naw and the player saying yah is making me ???

Horatio Cornblower

Coming off the field while bleeding from the ear is a good sign, right?

Brocky

I mean, in medieval days blood letting was a form of healing

Senor Weaselo

Doubtful (leeches)

blaxabbath

Show me a player more #UpForWhatever that that!

WCS

There will be more Stillers remaining in Cleveland hospitals than going back to Yinzburgh.

Mr. Ayo

They may run out of injury carts before this over.

Moar bells rung than the Vatican, your Pittsburgh Steelers.

Sharkbait

If anything, these teams do try and kill each other.

blaxabbath

Good hit.

Mr. Ayo

#ThePauls turned into the Bungles so slowly I almost missed it.

Senor Weaselo

Oh good, Ice Giants kept the Ice Bucs under 10.

herodotus450

The only thing that could possibly make me turn this game back on is the chance that Jamie Gillan is Karen Gillan’s long lost twin sister, and this is actually a Lingerie League gmae.

herodotus450

Well at least Pottsburgh still has Crosby and the Penguins to look forward to, eh?
/Attaches stone of triumph that the Pens are gonna suck for a while

litre_cola

Landrydown plz?

Senor Weaselo

House of Pain update: The ghosts are seriously starting to turn, which sucks as I have so much to do at a later date. Tonight: Attempting ghost pepper cheese fries, but in a toaster oven because I’m lazy and am eating dinner at 10:15.

litre_cola

So European!

Sharkbait

How can you tell if they are starting to turn? Mine look almost the same.

Senor Weaselo

Yours is a later batch, I’ve had these almost a month.

Sharkbait

Ah ok so they do last a bit then? I have them in bags in the crisper drawer of the fridge.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I have more, ripening off the vine. Had to pull ’em before the freeze hit. Lemme know if you want moar.

Senor Weaselo

I wouldn’t say no, except I’m never home to actually do something with them.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Speaking of the House of Pain, a little nostalgia trip for me….

I want Mayfield to start doing the Johnny Money Fingers.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Did you folks know that tickets for spring training games can be considerably more expensive than regular season tix in a real and totally not shitty Single A minor league setup in Florida in March?

Plus it’s the fucking Orioles anyway. How does one rectify $50-ish a ticket no matter where or when?

blaxabbath

Make sure you spend a bunch of money to stay at Trump Doral.

BugEyedBoo

Only the greatest bedbugs! Bigly!

Senor Weaselo

In fairness, the Baysox have actually won something in the last five years, even if hasn’t translated since then.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I used to catch cactus league games when I was in Arizona. Mostly Cubs bcuz they were more or less just across the street. Never paid $50 a ticket.

Oh well, maybe there will be hookers.

Horatio Cornblower

I completely forgot there was football on tonight and instead my wife and I watched Manchester By The Sea.

I haven’t seen anything move that slowly since Ryan Shazier’s last game.

This sums up both teams 1st half performances:

Christ on a cracker, just cut off Terry’s mic.

He has a show. It was here. I saw a billboard for it.

I hope it was an interpretive dance retrospective of his fitbawl career.

Good evening lizard people. Anything good?

The Masked Singer, according to some guy paid to yell that at me.

Has that not been cancelled yet?

STeelers injury report if you are in to that type of thing.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Imma have to smack you before the weekend is over, huh?

litre_cola

Goin to Mexiiiiiiico on Saturday. I will get smacked around all on my own.

Viva La Tabula Raza

PIT does not appear to be blowing CLE out of the water at present, which in my wheelhouse is a good thing. But there is still an entire 2nd half for Browns to Brown. Please, Browns, do not Brown.

blaxabbath

PIT still got Mike Vick?
