Your “It’s For All The Moneys!” Sunday Night Football Open Thread

For a big game it doesn’t get much smaller than this. But hey, if a 3-7 Mississippi State football team can play in a bowl game then why can’t a desperately underachieving NFC East squadoo sully the good name of “the NFL Playoffs”? I see no reason, your case is dismissed and court is adjourned. [thinks to self, “That oughta please all those lawyer types out there.”]

TO THE GAME!

Team/Eagles:

-If Team had even slightly below-average qb play this year they wouldn’t be in this mess.

-I guess Alex Smith being able to start can be construed as good news although his PFF passer rating comes in at 31st among 38 qualifying tossers. Still, better than a bottle of Taylor Heinicke, right?

-A league-leading 67% of Smith’s passes are thrown short of the 1st down marker. I mean, I hate to pile on but Jeezuz that’s lousy. “He ain’t take any chances at all!”

-Hurts’ rushing attempts have decreased from 18 to 11 to 9 in the last three weeks but you’d think he’s have to reverse that trend if the Eagles plan on winning.

-Overall, an effective run game is needed to effectively sell play-action against Team’s nasty, pressurizing D.

-Missing in action for Philly is Cox, Sanders, Goedert, Barnett and Mailata. For Washington, Gibson and McLaurin are questionable.

-The absence of Mailata is a big one for the Eagles. It would seem that as a left guard he’ll be replaced by first-time starter Brent Toth. He’ll be facing-you guessed it-Chase Young all game long.

-Go Eagles! (just this one time and nevermind if the Giants blew it earlier today)

Praise be unto you all. Or something like that.

Mr. Ayo

Been a great year for medicine in the NFL.

Nate Sudfield. Take a bow.

TAKE A TIMEOUT AMONG OTHER THINGS!!!!!!

Viva La Tabula Raza

Cris Collinsworth is the same age as me. Most memorable thing about him to me was his fumble in the SB that basically turned the momentum and SF ended up winning. Otherwise I didn’t have any particular ill will towards him.
I guess having to listen to him for three hours every week during NFL season is what has made me loathe him.

Dunstan

I actually remember a time when Al and Cris were the best announcing team. That may say more about how lousy the other options were, but I think they’ve gotten worse. Al just phones it in these days, and Cris is more interested in slobbering over Brady or whichever other star is playing than actually saying anything new.

This is the most shameful display of coaching and integrity since Doug Pederson was actually trying.

At age 62, Holly Hunter is not too young to be a grandma.

What’s the over-under on how many hack writers say some version of “we lost an Angel, but heaven has gained one”?

Mr. Ayo

Dammit. We need Hippo to wake up to the glorious tie he missed out on.

King Hippo

nods awake

nods right back

Horatio Cornblower

What a terrible call.

litre_cola

Giants fans would be losing their shit during that play. Brutal.

Can Confirm. Mrs. was not pleased.

I’m so sorry about the swastika on this link. That’s not what the screenshot showed on YouTube. It’s a sketch by Mike Francesa and Chris Russo impersonators and it’s really funny, and that’s why I put it here. If I knew it would post with a swastika, I wouldn’t have, I assure you. Jesus, I’m sorry.

We’re pretty sure you’re not a Nazi, don’t worry about it!

AARON RODGERS’ FAMILY VOTES: 45

Horatio Cornblower

If Philly can pull this out, that means the Giants will have another chance to shit all over Brady in the post-season.

Doktor Zymm

True, but not quite the same in the Wild Card round

litre_cola

Never thought of it that way.

SonOfSpam

Only if they announce Eli’s activation on Monday.

UM I WANT THIS TO HAPPEN NOW.

Horatio Cornblower

The Giants are down late.

The theme from ‘Sesame Street’ blasts through the stadium.

Jim Nantz: “My god! That’s Eli’s music!”

Everyone knows it would be Barney.

Jesus, wouldn’t that be a treat!

that would be

My uncle in Philly can vouch how pulling out doesn’t always work

JustStopDude

I love Cris talking about distractions and how young players effectively have too much money.

Like he wasn’t doing blow and hookers with the Bengals.

SonOfSpam

The hookers gave his money back just to shut him up.

Fronkenshteen

That’s why he was so good on the outside. He knew his way around a white line.

litre_cola

This game has basically shit its pants in the 2nd half.

Doktor Zymm

The first half was a worrisome tummy rumble, so it’s not unexpected

Gumbygirl

There’s Snoop, I need to roll a doob.

Gumbygirl

Got back in time for the second half! Not a car on the road going up, bumper to bumper on the way down. Good riddance, diseased tourists!

SonOfSpam

I HATED the Sunday afternoon drive home from the grandparents’ place. Similar to a Sunday drive home from Vegas.

Gumbygirl

The Cajon Pass makes me crazy, any time, any day.

Sharkbait

Is that where you cut through the mountains from Vegas to LA? I’ve made that drive three times, never knew that was it.

SonOfSpam

Yeah, pass Barstow and Victorville and you hit that hell.

And you’re probably hungover.

Sharkbait

Yes. Very yes

Neither did the Donners.

Schefter tweeted next weekend’s schedule. Sunday night closes the proceedings with Browns at Pitt. The two days are gonna be good (except Sat nights Bucs-Abortion game)

King Hippo

Bonus is that if I pass out, it will be during the two least appealing matchups (CLE barely beat PIT today, at home and with PIT not trying).

SonOfSpam

Haven’t seen point spreads yet, but could/should the Bucs be the biggest favorite? Or Pitt or NO?

Sharkbait

Bucs probably

King Hippo

It will be Team MRSA, probably should be NO (if Bitchin’ Kamara comes off #NuAIDS list).

Doktor Zymm

I saw Tits are +3

SonOfSpam

That’s an absolutely fascinating game, but I fear for the Tits.

Sharkbait

The Total Recall spread

Mr. Ayo

Never regretted trusting Tits before, so why stop now.

Fronkenshteen

Oh unwanted fetus. When will you NOT be the underdog?

Come on Eagles. Give us the 6-10 playoff team

found a funny:

she said i have to learn to take her bra off myself please we’ve been here for 6 hours my fingers are bleeding someone help me

rockingdog

LOL
R giants really gonna do this?

Redshirt

“Fresh Prince of Bel Air” music? But the whole premise of the show is Will Smith left Philly and his life got instantly better. That’s like playing “God Save the King” on the 4th of July.

One step closer to a Tie!

Democracy Dies In Darkess is the Bezos Post’s motivation, not a warning.

The editorial board opposed $2,000 checks/supports McConnell. Last night everyone at the paper got $2,021 bonuses. Fuck everyone at that shit rag.

So we get to hear about him as a retread coach for another 30 years? Fantastic.

Not cool, man. They don’t like to be compared to that idiot.

Oh, RETREAD. Sorry, carry on.

If JJAW is actually catching balls this is bizarro world.

That’s pretty much every QB. You guarantee a QB five second to go through his progressions without having to worry about the pass rush, you’ll get a Pro Bowl season out of him.

Doktor Zymm

You mean the DMV, Delaware isn’t involved afaik

SonOfSpam

Sure, but I have no idea about any of this, similar to most comments I make here.

Fronkenshteen

Strict “no firearms” laws there, too. The D.C. police response to this ANNOUNCED, EXPECTED menace will be the ultimate referendum on the state of policing in the United States. If they refuse to stand up to, engage, and imprison these terrorists, then yes, all law enforcement (and their Union) in the United States should be dissolved, reimagined, and reconstructed in a far more noble and righteous iteration. And I ain’t hardly fuckin’ around.

Duchess

“When you really want your favorite beer there’s a Budlight there” sounds like one of those Chinese proverb/curses like “May you live in interesting times”
