12:00 PM: Hey all. Lots to do this morning and time kinda got away from me. Back around game time with the setup.
12:45 PM: OK then. Tracy and I are back from a brisk little bike ride into town to get moth traps for the pantry. Turns out these little bastards that have been getting into our provisions are flour moths (h/t: Julie). We’ve got to throw out just about all our flour, cereal, pasta, rice and whatnot, clean the pantry from top to bottom, and then lay these things down. Probably need to do a second pass on our snack/miscellaneous food stuffs cabinet as well. These things suck.
But first things first: Football!
FOX Early: Vikings @ Falcons
CBS Early: Bills @ Jets
CBS Late: Patriots @ Eagles
It feels like it’s been a month since the Jets last played. And, come to think of it, it has been that long since they played well. This is it for Gang Green. No margin of error. To have any shot at the playoffs they have to win out. I do not have high hopes.
On that note, it’s time to crack a beer. See you all in the comment tube.
Oh yeah – don’t forget about the bird seed.
You’ve got meal moths?? Crap………..
If I understand correctly they can be quite the pain to get rid of. It can be impressive to realize what all didn’t occur to you that serves as a food resevoir for them.
(‘shift, you can find them in pantries pretty much anywhere in the USA. All it takes is a bumb bag of dog food, or a bag of flour that sat around for too long on the shelves of the wrong store/food co-op…)
WHO DAT!!!! Just hope we don’t do the same crap we did after our last rout and lay an egg the very next week against an inferior team. (Killed the Colts, sucked at the Rams)
And, g’night.
Ah, well. Happy for you, sorry for Fridge. Wish this had been a better game.
THAT is the ultimate answer. We got us a QB fa sho’, oh yeah. GEAUX SAINTS!!!!
IF it’s not a blizzard in Green Bay, yeah, could look like an old AFC game from the 80s, 45 to 42 final.
I don’t know. They only scored because of that horrible b.s. call on the pass break up. I didn’t think you got “defenseless receiver” when the guy was CATCHING THE BALL. Jacobs is frustrated at losing so badly and feeling the season slipping away, I think.
What the fuck got into Jacobs after that TD?
Although that was a nice drive by the G-Men.
Yup. Your guys are looking pretty unstoppable. Saints v. Packers would be a hell of an NFC title game.
Those offensive numbers at halftime are like a Madden game: 354 yards, 18 first downs, 18 of 26 passing, no INT, no fumbles. Those are solid numbers for a full game!
Great offense, but how about giving up only 3 points? Groovy, man. Groovy.
Saints picked a good time to fire on all cylinders. Wow.
Looks like Nawlins has this game rather well in hand.
Two long Giant drives, 3 points allowed. Until they start determining games by yards allowed, that ought not be the metric of overall defense. IMO, of course.
Oh yeah. That’s the way, that’s the way I like it!
DID you see how small Sproles looked out there behind those linemen??? Wow.
WOO HOO!!!!! Great INT in the end zone. GEAUX SAINTS!!
The Giants fans I know aren’t down on him that bad. Hell, Fridge thinks he’s invincible in the fourth quarter.
Good numbers for Eli on the season. Why the Gents fans down on him?
Wow. Not sure what to think about that fake FG. Love the balls, but kinda early for that. But hey, it’s fun to watch!! GEAUX, defense!!
Wow, way for your guys to end that drive, ‘Shift.
Coming soon to a house near you— “Offspring of Mothra”
Yeah. I just came into the living room, went to pick up the remote, and there’s a fucking moth larva on there. I’m like, really? WTF?
I’ve never heard of pantry moths. Maybe they aren’t common down here. Anyway, GEAUX SAINTS!! (Sorry, Eli, no love for ya tonight here.)
As do pantry moths. I’ve never had them, but have heard the stories.
Giants suck!
Mich! How are you out in the West?
Pretty darn well. We spent the day at City Walk in Hollywood. The weather was gorgeous… 84 degrees and breezy.
Hello, all.
GO CHIEFS!
Ugh. Tebow. Just… Ugh.
He’s Tebowing already?
Are revolving doors easy to stop? I have little experience with them. However, Iggles look to be VERY easy to stop, if an undersized converted WR can effectively defend them.
They couldn’t stop a revolving door. Ha! I know, you already picked Amish parade, but I like mine.
I’ll go with Amish parade. That’s got flavor.
Gang Green lives to fight on for a playoff spot. Whew!!
but they CAN stop the Bills from scoring!!!
…. a speech by a mute person.
… an Amish parade.
… a snail.
Hmm. Jets’ D couldn’t stop a… clock.
Woof. Nice drop by Bills’ receiver Johnson. Wow.
Nosebleeds are actually pretty tricky to stop at times. So help me out:
The Jets defense couldn’t stop a ________.
j e t s, jets, Jets, JETS take the lead with a minute to play! Cardiac Kids givin’ Joe some cardio action.
!!!!!
WOOT!!!!!
This game is going to kill me.
Honestly, though, I have no idea what’s going on. Our corners have shut down QB’s/WR’s who are *vastly* better than these guys.
They hired Karl Rove as their offensive coordinator. He likes to go after the other guy’s strength.
There any reason why the Bills going after Revis all day? The man hurt or something?? I think I would aim for the OTHER side of the field, personally.
Yeah, this isn’t going well. Our vaunted pass D is making Ryan Fitzpatrick look like Tom Brady.
ShitfuckfireDAMN. How’d that Bill catch the deflection TD?? Those airballs almost always go for an INT.
Aw, hell. Giving the Bills more chances is not a great plan, me-thinks.
That’s pretty funny, yeah.
Fess up, Joe: you have to love that Visa commercial where the Pat fan has to wear a Ravens helmet for his buddy to give him the Super Bowl ticket, right?
j e t s, jets, Jets, JETS take the lead! Joy returns to the Shire.
YES! Nacho with a GREAT drive.
Your welcome, Tracy! But the way this game is going, you may need to monitor Joe’s heart rate… I’m not sure he’ll survive this.
Hello, ‘shift! Thanks for keeping this from being the Joe and Tracy Show. :O)
Bills tried an onside??? Really??? Yeah, I think the announcer is right, just a screwup by the kicker. That ought to get Gang Green going… along with the personal foul. Tie game, coming up!
Eh. After the Jets performance in Buffalo, I’m hard pressed to give credit to their opponent. Our defense sucks balls.
Yeah, I was thinking you must’ve channeled your inner Nostradamus on that one, Toast. Bills not looking like the team that has gone “blooey” so far today.
THERE’S that Sanchez pick. I just jumped the gun a little bit.
Hey, ‘Shift. Glad you could make it. Not the greatest game in the world thus far, but I’ve come to expect that at this point.
Hi, Toasters. Sorry to be late, but here now for the J E T S game.
Mark Sanchez interception in 3… 2…
This is a sparse Couch. That’s okay. I’m here for you and the Jets, baby!
