YOU ARE NEXXT- Saturday Afternoon Open Thread.

Good afternoon!

 

Next up is SeaTruthers v RAMMIT!! This would be a marquee matchup if Goff were healthy.

I will get this out of the way. (via text, yet BC Dick came out from hibernation on the site yesterday)

Litre: Hey do you want to write a bit for the Heaux Rams preview?

BC DicK: Oh jeez I don’t know if I could do a whole paragraph on that. Seattle will just do what they do. Playing safe. Keep it within a score with the D playing well now and running the ball. Then let Russ win it in the 4th. Rams have a mentally feeble Jared or a guy in his second game who just put a week on tape for Pete. Unless they turn it a few times I don’t see them losing to the Rams.

Litre: That was a paragraph

BC Dick: Oh yeah, Jamal Adams plays and has more sacks than Aaron Donald. That’s a good prediction.

These teams have met twice this season, Week 10 Seattle 16 @ RAMMIT 23, Week 16 RAMMIT 9 @ Seattle 20.

 

Week 10 Goff the aforementioned mentally feeble one threw for 302. The RAMMIT defense dominated (Aaron Donald was not on the stat sheet?!?), and this was where we were thinking the Heaux D was quite shitty. The Heaux D has turned a corner and is marginal but like BC Dick said they keep it close.

 

Week 16 The Heaux D showed up and RAMMIT were the 5th straight opponent to be held to under 20 points. This is the game where Goff first dislocated his thumb and now has recently had surgery. I have had thumb surgery and I can tell you that rehab time is not a week for full function. I got that bad boy out of the cast a month after injury and went straight out and tried to play baseball. Bad idea, I re-injured it and was casted up for another month. My Doctor reprimanded me for being dumb.

Sean McVay seems to have Pete in his back pocket until week 16 so that is always on my mind. HAIL GAMBLOR.

  • Week 5 of 2017: Seahawks 16, Rams 10
  • Week 15 of 2017: Rams 42, Seahawks 7
  • Week 5 of 2018: Rams 33, Seahawks 31
  • Week 10 of 2018: Rams 36, Seahawks 31
  • Week 5 of 2019: Seahawks 30, Rams 29
  • Week 14 of 2019: Rams 28, Seahawks 12
  • Week 10 of 2020: Rams 23, Seahawks 16

There is no rhyme or reason for over under, but with a hobbled Goff or Wofford I think this will be the under.

/Checks line, 42.5, the lowest of all 6 games.

I have been to 3 iterations of a Seahawks home game. In 1997 I attended Heaux v Falcons, Warren Moon baby! The Kingdome was a dump and deserved its fate. I then attended Iggles v Heaux at Husky Stadium in 2001 (Eagles 27-3 WOO!). Little did I know that they would not serve alcohol as it was on campus. It was 34 degrees Celsius with no breeze, and we had to drink Pepsi.  At least it was rush week, so there were carloads of coeds hanging out of cards and handing out beads which was super cool. The last game I attended was the fail mary game as my ex was a big Packers fan so we went down for a sports weekend. (2 Mariners games, Sounders game, Heaux game) It was amazing, the vibe after the Golden Tate catch?!? was crazy. You could have brought a raft and boated out of Century Link on the tears of Packers fans.

Found this little display and it’s interesting so I thought that I would share.

Enjoy game 2 of the 6 game marathon!

If you get bored watch Bloodsport, it’s s till a treat.

Judging only by ads during football games, The Retard Doctor was a.) not taken seriously b.) was taken seriously c.) didn’t understand what a crush was d.) lost his precious virginity and didn’t understand what happened e.) had his girlfriend explain to him what a breakup was and f.) bought a motorcycle and drives it too fast.

Floyd should be on Chicago. I hate the Bears FO so much

hippofant

How did he play his last season in Chicago?

Really, his performance right now could easily be an Aaron Donald illusion. Dante Fowler, Clay Matthews, they all rack up the sacks playing next to Donald.

Fronkenshteen

Hippie Guy In The Van is on the bumpers again! I’m gonna go with a Widespread Panic, Grateful Dead, Phish trifecta for the rest of the game.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Far out, man!

Horatio Cornblower

DK Metcalf seems like a guy you don’t want around when you’re trying to defuse a situation.

Recovery Whiskey

He can be a bit mercurial

Fronkenshteen

More like a THER-HARM-ATOR, AMIRITE?!?!

/ is hit with just ALL of the fucking rotten fruit and garbage

Rams wearing their Shiny Happy People Helmets.

Whaddup, you wonderful chucklefucks.

And where were you on Wednesday Jan 6, 2021? Around 2pm EST

Just wait until we hit the year 3,000 and Futurama starts hitting.

ThePirateSloth

I just can’t football today. I can’t pretend shit is normal. Y’all have a good one.

SonOfSpam

This is WHY you should football.

Either way, you’re among friends and have a bitchin day.

Spur

Excepting a call from FBI or something?

Recovery Whiskey

My teams in the playoffs and the President got deleted from social media. Best day evar.

Fronkenshteen

Hang in there, man. Watch a dopey comedy or something.

Recovery Whiskey

One handed catch Lockett

Recovery Whiskey

Goff made his healing roll

Horatio Cornblower

Funny way to spell ‘Toradol’

hippofant

Maybe just his save versus death.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Hey what does everyone think about “Oshaa” as a name for the God of Safeties?

SonOfSpam

Aaron Donald is the only god I need (this afternoon).

Game Time Decision

Fun fact: Oshawa is the native word for place across the river

Viva La Tabula Raza

And Omaha is the native word for “yer mom.”

Horatio Cornblower

I can’t think of a better name if we’re looking for a god that’s basically impotent and never really does anything of consequence.

Game Time Decision

Think it needs to include Men without Hats somehow

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The Oshaa Ritual

Game Time Decision

YES

Recovery Whiskey

Rams planning on winning 3-0

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

[starts limbering up to do the safety dance]

Viva La Tabula Raza

So Seattle’s stadium is named for the SI unit of luminous flux? That’s odd.

Petronel

That XBox green in their uniforms is so blinding that they have to put a warning label on the building,

SonOfSpam

Blissful Blake Bortles bailed before beginning.

(he is inactive)

SonOfSpam

“You can totally put your shoulder into a guy’s head if we say so” is a new rule I was not aware of.

Fuck it. RAMMMIT gonna win anyway. YOU HEAR ME SEATTLE?

rockingdog

found a funny:

Men: I’m sick babe

Me: did you take any medicine

Men: plan my funeral

hippofant

WE WANT BORTLES

Mr. Ayo

He’s inactive. What we get for touching ourselves.

Game Time Decision

Blake Bortles benched briefly before bad behavior

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Nap time for Shan’Khor, apparently. Hope she wakes up for the second half.

Horatio Cornblower

/Wolford comes back in the second quarter.

The Rams: “He had a strained knee ligament. Taped him up and he’s good as new!”

I’m a little bummed there weren’t more ban evasion attempts at 3 a.m., but maybe tonight there will be more.

hippofant

Think Wolford should have just taken that up the middle through the hole. Not why he got injured, but that random bailing out of the play was downright Madden-like.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Good job picking up the flag. Backups should never get those kinds of superstar calls.

Recovery Whiskey

Not targeting

Horatio Cornblower

if you slide headfirst you’re kind of asking for it.

And did you see the way he was dressed!?

Brocky

i know I’m late on this opinion, but for the poor colts how much does it suck knowing your season relies on the ability of Philip Rivers to complete a deep ball?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

FLOAT OF THE CENTURY if it had been caught, or even made it as far as the end zone.

Fronkenshteen

They use Brissett for those, no?

Mother Puncher

Woods not expecting that pass to be accurate

Recovery Whiskey

Going to be an ugly game

clint greasewood

The play on the field and the uniforms.

Horatio Cornblower

The Seahawks are well-documented at uniform failures, but the Rams have really good options and go with this.

Spur
hippofant

WELP it looks like as good as time as any for me to do my laundry.

Fronkenshteen

Nae interested in this one?

hippofant

Gotta save my energy for the Taylor Heineke show!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

2 punts in less than five minutes? Yeah, this game doesn’t look like it’s be as much fun as the first one.

Spur

This game is going to take forever.

I put this on the other thread but it belongs here — Beastmode is 10 years old!

I bought a regular pillow to keep on the couch. Why do we buy special couch pillows? Regular pillows are better.

Dunstan

Are you sure you don’t want to buy a MyPillow? Each one comes with a commemorative swastika!

Rammitt only (+149)?? Fuck.

Those edgy-in-cheek Nacho Fries ads do not offend me.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I think they are fun!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The ads, not the fries. Those fries definitely do terrify me.

Mother Puncher

Chips and salsa helped get rid of the hangover. Now let’s watch a game I have no emotional interest in

Don T

I made it to game 2, coherent yet nappy. Hope RAMMIT keeps it close.

King Hippo

Yeah, naps is reserved for Team tonight.

scotchnaut

Phil Rivers “Hail Mary Full of Grace The Lord Is With You” came up short. I’m not that surprised.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Nothing fails like prayer.

Fronkenshteen

A poem, that.

Recovery Whiskey

Game in Seattle; pre-game coverage outdoor in LA. Good job Fox

Dunstan

Well, if they’re not tossing fish in Seattle, there’s nothing else to show, right?
