Deshaun of the Dead: Sunday Night Game Open Thread

So I’ve been on the road all day and have relatively little firsthand knowledge of what the shit went on this afternoon. A brief (aka halfass) recap after this important message:

WOOOOOO! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Ok. I’m good. I’m cool.

So the Bills (WOOOO!) handed the Iggles a golden opportunity to pull even with the hated Dallas Cowboys (BOOO!) by beating the ever-loving snot out of the latter in front of God, Jerral and everyone. In typical Philadelphia fashion, they took this wonderful gift and fucking trashed it.

#Justice4HitchBot

Seriously. You Cheez-Wiz-Loving mutants don’t deserve the gift win the Bills gave you earlier this year. The fucking Tanking LOLfins just embarrassed you. I for one welcome the first 6-10 division winner. #NFCLeast.

Not that it will help Philadelphians’ cherished inferiority complex and (justified) sense of self-loathing, but they actually didn’t have the worst day out there today.  Cincinnati and the re-ascendant Ginger Dalton finally got on the winning side of the ledger after 11 straight losses against the Jests. Carolina in turn allowed the Redacteds to run all over them (in every sense of the word) at home. Jerry Richardson must be rolling over in his grave to have his beloved Panthers beaten by a team whose mascot wasn’t even counted under the Three-Fifths Compromise.  Wait, he’s not dead?

There were a bunch of other games. Stay tuned for Hippo Thoughts.

ON TO TONIGHT!

P*TRIOTS v. HOUSTON “TEXANS” (8:30 Eastern, 7:30 DFO):

Let’s be honest: this is going to suck for all right-thinking, God-fearing football fans. Bill Belichick has Bill O’Brien’s number, as much or more as any of the rotten fruit of his gnarled, twisted coaching “tree”.  He’s 4-0, and O’Brien’s not going to pull anything new out of that gigantic pit in his chin.

As always, the 500s’ chances rest solely on Deshaun Watson’s shoulders. And as usual, those shoulders will likely spend a LOT of time on the turf. New England’s defense is just too good this year against an offensive line that has been problematic at the best of times. Look for Will Fuller’s knee to self-destruct in the second quarter, followed by Watson’s entire skeleton in the third.

Still, the light of hope flickers in the gale. Foxborough Delenda Est

So, I’m thinking that when ESPN post their NFL Power Rankings on Tuesday morning, P*ts will no longer be ranked #1, for the first time this season.comment imagev

You know what sucks? When your teabag breaks in the cup and you don’t realize it until you’re two-thirds through it, and in the car.

I would recommend they keep that to themselves when travelling in the south. Denigrating sweet tea is bordering on treason in many places. I mean, so is promoting evolution, but still.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Travel in the South?!? Hell, if they cross the Rhode Island/Connecticut state line, they think they’re south of the Mason-Dion line.

JerBear50

Is the Mason-Dion line where they go because they’re wanderers, and they roam around, around, around?

JerBear50

How the hell do you wear a cup while you’re… uh, oh. Never mind.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Nice outcome tonight. Now if DK Metcalf can score /checks notes 84.5 points tomorrow night, then I’ll get a bye and it will be a very good football weekend.

JerBear50

I’m gonna end up knocked out of both of my leagues thanks to todays shit-tastic performances.

“NEW England? Heh, more like MODERN England, amirite folks? Y’all here in Lincoln, Nebraska have a deep understanding of Brexit politics, right, bro? I mean, loogit this guy, he looks like Boris Johnson, but with only ONE crossed eye. Looks like my ballsack when I don’t have enough for a wax. I kid, I kid, but seriously, Belichick looks like he’s unsure of what the hell he’s gonna do with Northern Ireland, which is what I call some shitty Boston bar that caters to trust fund kids of corrupt cops. Tom Brady looks like Teresa May–over and done with! I kid, I kid, he looks as fresh as boiled London pizza. Anyway, you’ve sucked as an audience and I hope I never come back here. Fuck your cornfields.”

So, we’re all in agreement that the Eagles are eliminated from the playoffs since they lost to the LOLfins, right? That’s the rule?

Unsurprised

Weren’t the LOLfins tanking? Then, yes. Totally. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.

Wakezilla

They’re supposed to be, but, they’re starting to LOLfin-ing that up, latley (3-2 over past 5 games).

I feel dirty saying so, but fuck it, I like Brian Flores. He might be the most interesting man on an NFL sideline right now.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Where does Brian Flores fit in on the Tom Flores coaching tree?

Well, Texas is probably more important to the electoral college, though the true MAGA believers are strong in Boston (and Maine)… so… uh… dicks, dicks, penis, cock. I don’t know.

More than half of my extended family in Mass are MAGAts. One of the kids sells beer at Gillette. It’s horrible.

Odds that Kraft was googling “best massage parlors in Houston” when the camera showed him?

That’s a lot of Kraft Singles

Shoot, he already has them all in his Contacts. P*ts have won two SBs in Houston, didn’t you hear AL?

Those ones are all too old by now. Hell, some of them probably speak English by now.

Does Hopkins get a TD pass for that at least?

So that’s TD passes for Hopkins AND Bleeding Kansas this weekend. And of course, the receivng score for the LOLfins’ kicker.

Al and Cris: maybe a handoff is a pass?

Rules Guy (exasperated): Yes, guys, and Emmitt Smith retroactively has been stripped of all of his rushing yards, because it turns out they were all passes. Conversely, Drew Brees is now just 10th on the all-time passing yardage list.

they REALLY wanted a loophole, just TOO MUCH BLACKNESS on that play

Did that not go forward?
