Uh oh. I really don’t like that for the Vols chances. Puts a target the size of Neyland on their backs. That and they still have to get past Georgia AND Bama (again) to have a shot at the playoff. Don’t get me wrong, I’m hoping like hell they can pull it off, but that’s a lot of pressure for a pretty inexperienced team. I’m just hoping this doesn’t end deflating for them. 

They could still get in if their only loss is the SEC championship game and the other contenders drop a game or two

It's a freaking miracle!!!

I heard the Chiefs are going all-red for this game so thankfully Tennessee is going with this set

 Solid B- overall

A lesson in this: the helmet rule is kinda dumb, but as long as they throw flags over it, keep that bucket on.  Game losing penalty indeed.

Agreed that it’s a dumb rule that you also have to be dumb to break.

Keeping your helmet on in football is like keeping your seat belt on in NASCAR. It's dangerous as hell to have an unprotected head when you're on the field. Take away the rule and some moron will pull it off when he thinks the whistle blew and then he gets caught in a scrum.

These looked better today. I don't know whether it was just the shock effect wearing off or (more likely) the lighting indoors in Texas was much more flattering than the shadows on a cold night in Chicago.

 

 

I'm still not crazy about it but now I'm not demanding it be handled like toxic waste. I'd certainly like to see the socks stick around. Definitely go back to the undershirts matching the jerseys like in 2020.
 

Everything is fine except for the Bears' helmet

Cowboys-Bears would look awesome if the Bears had their navy helmet 

Why do the Lions like these all-grey uniforms? Is there anyone in the locker room who actually sees these and thinks they're cool?

Please no minor league aesthetics. Follow the USFL's lead: plural team names, no goofy logos

Brady isn't looking great, but he's the only guy on the Bucs playing with any fire in him. He's also not turning the ball over. I think if he were on an even slightly competent team he'd be humming along just fine.

Kinda thought about the Colt 45s and Mets, both coming in in 62 with a shade of blue + orange.

Not quite the same, but the '69 expansion saw the AL add a blue/white team and a Seattle-based blue/gold team; the '77 expansion saw the AL add a blue/white team and a Seattle-based blue/gold team.

It's even closer than that. Seattle's teams had blue, white, powder blue, & gold and both of their expansion brothers were blue, white, & powder blue

Details like exposed undershirts and socks being worn differently are a lot easier to brush off when both teams are wearing appealing, well-balanced uniforms like Tampa and Baltimore are tonight.

Thursday night will look FANTASTIC! I was holding out hope for this exact matchup but considered it extremely unlikely:

 

Three primetime games in a row with great uniform matchups? Can't remember the last time this happened

Bengals vs Browns on Halloween MNF

Rivera has more playoff appearances than winning seasons lol

The Yankees are the first team in history to lose 5 straight ALCS appearances

Does Dusty Baker need a World Series title to get into Cooperstown?  Or is he in regardless?

Ninth-most wins in history, twelfth guy with 2000 wins, 3 pennants, and won division titles with all five teams he's managed,. He's getting in.

Chargers are now 0-4 in the current all navy. The uniform is bad luck.

Honestly, I think the current Rams helmets are far worse. 

This is true

The lazy dropshadow on their 2 absolutely kills me

 

Getting pretty tired of this uniform. They could at least try it with the gold pants

So... the Toronto Maple Leafs are irrelevant then...

Yes but it has nothing to do with their name

Milwaukee's lost baseball twice (original Brewers & Braves) and basketball (Hawks...though they did nothing but suck in their brief stay, so it's really easy to forget they were even there), yet have both today (Brewers, Bucks)

DC lost the Senators twice then got the Nationals, and lost the Capitols in 1950 then eventually got the relocated Bullets

Bucs in red over pewter and the Panthers not in monochrome it's a miracle

Said it before and I'll say it again, the wrong Florida team went back to their 2002 uniform as if nothing happened.

All 3 of them should have

I'm genuinely curious why the Saints hate the color gold so much. Is it as simple as the players thinking "bruh we can be icy or blackout every game "? Is someone higher up making these decisions? So odd

I hope Memphis doesn't move, or if they do, the city gets to keep the history

Caps looks incredible (minus sponsor patch)-

 

 

 

 

Other than Lincoln getting shot, the play was great.
