I’m going to bed with a smile on my face tonight.
Yep, almost as good as a Vikings win.
Yeah, how about Mrs derby?
35-14 Hotlanta with 3m left.
So much for 13 straight home opener wins for FTPs.
FTP!!
Kraft has bad hands
So many drops
What are the odds on LaFartface being fired tomorrow?
skim milk
watching FTP get mollywhopped at their home opener is making me feel a bit better.
reminds me of when they unveiled ‘new’ LameBlow in 2003 and Daunte and the boys ruined the party.
tomorrow still gonna suck eggs, but FTP!
ps: thank you all for the kind words.
Looks like the owners in the stands want to sell back their shares.
We’re watching it on the Spanish broadcast, this isn’t bad
Watching the Packers lose at home is so enjoyable
Hope our little Packerbacker friend has a big box of tissues.
Kind of fun watching FTP get smoked at home on a short week.
wow, another Atlanta TD. 23-7 pending the PAT
and 24-7
in lambeau
I love it.
maybe this is the year I go to Wisconsin for a Vikings game?
Nice run game by Atlanta
Yuck
That 4th and 1 fail by FTP was glorious.
17-7 Atlanta.
Feels kind of like the Jets game.
That RB on the Falcons looks pretty good
Which one?
Robinson or Robinson??
Yes
The mustard
The Packers are getting assistance from the refs again
Did you expect anything different??
Tonight I will be a Falcon Fan.
I don’t expect it to go well but don’t know that I can ever root for FTP.
Penix looks bad. Maybe just rusty?
I was thinking even worse than JJ (QB) but it is still early. He might redeem himself yet.
That play was bad, he was lucky it was called grounding and not fumble.
He’s starting to look better and their run game is picking up
Yeah the run game being successful it opening up the passing game for Penis.
Having a last little get together with my puppy buddy tonight.
Gonna cook him a burger, relax, reminisce….
tomorrow will come too fast, just focused on tonight.
Skol
Awww, handsome little dude. Enjoy your time, they are in tune to your energy, nothing but good memories and love man. These are hard things to do.
Enjoy it. If it’s time is time. The greatest injustice in this world is that our best friends don’t live as long as us. I’m currently dealing with my lab who hasn’t eaten for 2 days, but when I took him to the vet they couldn’t give him treats fast enough. Now, I get home and mix fresh chicken into rice and he won’t touch it but he’ll eat every piece of chicken i hand feed him.
Just remember the good times. You’ll always have those
Oh, and about 1000 pictures shared here. I think I can speak for the group and say we all love Marley.
Thank you Bow, I hope your pupper starts to eat freely again.
God has a very special kennel for dogs with everything they want. Then when your time comes you can go buy and pick them up.
No matter what this ain’t easy but it passes.
All the best.
Appreciate it JRob….
Don’t know if you ever watched Coach but it reminded me of the episode when Luther breaks into the dog pound because they’re going to put Quincy down for biting the band director and they sit and eat all of Quincy’s favorite foods and fall asleep together
anyway, hope you two have a great evening and sorry he needs to leave
Big fan of Coach and its Minny ties. And I remember the episode.
thank you
I worked with the main actor’s niece or cousin or something. She was not a super nice lady, but it was a fun connection.
Enjoy it, my man.
Give him some ear scritchies for me!!
So sorry you have to say goodbye. Roughest part about having dogs, and I have had to do that three times. Never gets easy. You are giving comfort when it is needed.
I wonder what the Giants might give us for JJ McCarthy…
Scattabo for 9 straight up. Do it
A swift kick in the nuts
But Swift plays for the Bores?
Why would we want him to be kicked in the nuts in order to ship JJ (QB) to the NYG??
I get his trade value is low but I would think a cold six pack would be better than getting D’Andre kicked in the sack.
If we’re that lucky.
Still at work, and I don’t think anyone can even tell I am sick by looking at me…
You need to look more pitiful so they will send you home.
Looks like our rookie d-linemen still have a ways to go.
PFF grades after the Vikings’ Week 2 win over the Bears – Yahoo Sports
Rookies being eased into the defense?
Shocking, that never, ever happened before.
Not to mention that PFF sucks.
By PPF standards it looks like Turner has a long ways to go too. So there’s that.
Think I’ll have some eggs for lunch today
I see what you did there!
Should have a beer too
Make sure ya slush em!
LOL
This one made me giggle too
Holy shit, that’s funny
LOL wow what a teammate!
yeah, 10th overall pick for a cheerleader
Hope he turns into as good a QB as he is a teammate.
He will, probably for the Lions or something though.
New QB stat:
“Speed off the sideline to celebrate.”
I just figured this was worth sharing after the fake reports shared about how bad his attitude is.
I was laying in bed this morning and suddenly a feeling of panic hit me. I was going to be late for work! It went away quickly when I realized that I don’t work today. Sometimes it is hard to keep track of the days when you are semi-retired.
Rest assured it will get easier. And as long as it’s not Sunday you good regardless.
No worries.
What are they going to do?
I’ve thought that more than once. What are they going to do? While I do give a crap, another part of me doesn’t give a crap.
Self-Employed is similar. You can kick it in the rear end for an extended period of time, then you build up a day or two of “f*** its”. “f*** its” are similar to what employees call PTO, but you don’t have to put in a request with HR, you just have to wake up one morning and think “f*** it”, then go do something fun. These were great for extended fishing trips, camping trips, short, vacations, that sort of thing.
Eli and I did our little whirlwind Denver trip before school started using “f*** its”. Well,“f*** its” and Marriott Miles. Between those two things, that trip didn’t cost a dime.
I have those once in a while! They’re great.
Sure are. I don’t mind working on the weekend if kiddo’s off doing something with friends or something, might as well use that time to get some work done. It makes my work week more flexible.
Bingo
Aaron Jones hurt.
I mean, I would be shocked if he didn’t get hurt at some point, and this is a little earlier than I would have guessed, but he ran a LOT in week 2 and ran really well.
Given the punishment he took Sunday, especially with that helmet popping hit, I am not surprised that he is feeling the effects this week.
Yep.
The amazing thing was that he wasn’t on the sideline hurt during the game.
“We’ll just keep getting treatment around the clock, and see if we can pick up his workload as the week goes on.”
I’d be tired just from the round the clock treatment.
FTP !!
Don’t be doin’ McDonald’s dirty like that though
Matt Lafluer spends over $100 a week on haircuts
he’d NEVER put a hat on
The last money I spent on a haircut was actually for a hair cutting kit and that was probably a decade ago. My barber is my wife. She hates doing it, but I’m frugal and since my barber retired, I have had trouble finding a real barber. It seems they are all “hairstylists” or “cosmetologists” nowadays.
She hates doing it?
You could just get electric trimmers and buzz yourself at 1 inch or less
That’s what I’ve been doing for 20 years.
Buy a new trimmer every few years for $20.
I did that for a few years, been using the razor for the last 15 or 20.
Ever since to an army, I haven’t been able to grow my hair out, drives me nuts. Now there is not much that grows anyway, but still a little bit. It would still be ugly if I grew it out, and my head works good with shaving, so I just roll with it..
Growing my beard was fun, I might do that again. I should go for duck Dynasty one of these times, I don’t think it would take very long.
My head gets to cold with that kind of haircut. She wants to cut it shorter, but I complain when she does.
have you considered hats?
Seems like I try a different barbershop every time I need a haircut.
The base was a good place but they usually only had one barber so there was a long line, plus it is close to an hour away so we don’t go very often.
My wife was a licensed cosmetologist, no one in our family has paid for a haircut in almost 40 years.
Nice.
How does she like being in space?
That was one of my jokes when we were dating…
And she married you after that? She must have felt sympathy for you.
Baker Mayfield has done well against the blitz so far this year. 11 of 12 for a TD (QBR 125). It could be that their opponents are more vulnerable in the 2nd level and/or secondary during blitzes than the Vikings are, though.
Bucs are 0-2, and that makes them dangerous.
Still, I’d put money on the Vikings before the Tampa Mayfields.
I don’t like this game.
I think it goes to Tampa.
It’s a trap!
A trap game already?
Two division games in a row.
I’d characterize it as a letdown game.
Bucs used to be divisional foes, as you likely know. I think we have more games with the Bucs than any other team outside of the NFC North.
Likely.
It sure was nice for the first few years of Bucs football.
0-26 to start their franchise.
They started in the AFC west first, then the NFC Central
There are many types of blitzes. The simple, send one extra guy up the middle, that allows a qb to make simple check down pass. Then there is the one where you send 3 – 4 beserkers (look up the term if you are unfamiliar with it) from every angle, often unblocked, where pure panic and fear paralyze the QB.
Which type has Baker been exposed to this season?
Good question. I’m not sure the quality of the blitzes, but I do think that the back 7 are not as good for Bucs previous opponents
rec Sweet reference.
Talk about a reference. Slow clap to you sir.
Also, I really hope I’m not the only one that got that reference relates to most of your time way more than mine.
I had their 8-track so…
That’s one of the first songs that comes up on my Little Willie Pandora playlist when I’m playing football in the backyard with the kids.
Not to be “that guy”, but I looked up beserkers and nothing there, although berserkers shows up. A good example is in the movie “Eric the Viking”.
Flo shows 7-8 rushers and once the offense sets up the protection the Vikings decide who to send and who to drop back into coverage.
It gives the QB only a few seconds once the ball is snapped to find a option that will work before he is buried.

Skoloholics Pick ‘Em League Reminder:
Get your picks in before the game tonight!
I’m going to do mine right now. If I can do it, you can do it. I’m super duper sick and still finding the strength…
If your picks are bad, you can blame your illness!
I got mine in. 🙂
——————————————-
Yesterday…..
———————————————————————
I am counting on your sickness to help me out with my worst to first pickem plan.
I made it to work, but I don’t know how long I will last.
I feel truly funky and not in the good way…
Get some sleep and have the wifey wait on you.
I wish I could be cool enough to wear ruffles on my shirt, white gloves and plastic pants. Alas, I will never be.
If I knew your wife I would screen shot this and send it to her as a Christmas present idea…
