The Raiders brought those jerseys back during the Color Rush program paired with white pants (which I don't believe they wore in the 60s, or ever). Therefore, they're Color Rash.

To-ma-to

Don’t raiders still wear the silver number color rush jersey?

Not sure if they do or don't,  but that jersey is a throwback.

At this point, with how much red is already in the Giants white uniform, they might as well just say “:censored: it” and get a red helmet.

Big Blue? Nah.

If Tyler Bass makes the PAT to go up 26-22, they might lose the game. The Lions then couldn't have settled for a tying FG and would have to have played for the win.

By not having them.

I wish some teams would follow the Seahawks' route and mix and match a little with their color rush

I wish more teams would follow the Raiders' route.

To be fair Falcons uniforms needs few tweaks here and there to be really good.

Just one tweak - wear the throwbacks.

Minnesota, Illinois and Wisconsin were eliminated this weekend.

 

I just read that if Illinois wins and Purdue and Iowa lose, Illinois is in?

3 minutes ago, MJWalker45 said:

Only one still in play is Iowa win, they're in. If they lose to Nebraska a nd Purdue win, Purdue is in. 

There seemed to be the possibility of 5 teams at 5-4 (I thought). Either of those teams would get blown out by the top three of the East.

If it's Iowa, I hate to see what the numbers will look like. 

I have no idea what all of the tiebreakers are for the west. I just hope Wisconsin can't stumble into it.

Whichever team loses is still better than everyone else, including USC, so I think they should both be in unless it's a 20 point or more loss. 

I think I agree with this, but it will still be interesting to see what happens.

Of course, this assumes that the winner of the Big Game beats the Big Ten West Champion.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - I couldn't keep it in any longer.

I work from home and have a meeting during the first hour of the game. I'll probably catch the second half.

 

Idk... The whole run-up to the Qatar World Cup (with the slave labor and deaths) really sucked, and now that it's here, it still sucks.

 

I just want to watch my team play. But it's become more than that, and it sucks.

Honest question - if we don't watch, will it change anything? I'm not sure it does, which is why I'll likely watch.

I wanted to change "sacrifice" to "compromise," because I meant the second word.

 

But still, you're probably right.

I only watch soccer at World Cup time. I'm not anti-soccer, it's just not my game.

I'll have USA v. Wales on while working tomorrow.  Beyond that, I have no idea of the schedule.

What a POS world cup. One day in and it's already exhausting.

 

Watching sports shouldn't require this much moral sacrifice.

If it requires a moral sacrifice,  you shouldn't watch.

The 8-2 Vikings have been outscored 231-229!!!

Brett Maher is 4 for 4 in his career on FGs 59 yards or longer (source ProFootballTalk).

Arguably 5 for 5

Nice use of the horns on the sleeve cap and pants.

There might not be any great teams this year. Just a decent amount of good ones. 
 

FTR, Cowboys haven’t lost to the Vikings in Minnesota in 12 years, I think that ends today. 

Hoping for the reverse jinx, I see

I didn't see the first use of the Bengals white helmets. When it isn't a reasonably close picture, my mind is telling me that the Colts are playing.

Those Falcons facemasks look the same color as USC's on TV today. Yes, I do mean that they have a slight gold tint to them. Yes, I know that makes no sense.

Think the league is looking there because the Michigan Panthers were one of the better-supported teams in the league  and Detroit seems like a good sports town.  Easy logistics to pair Pittsburgh with them there too. 

 

Fox also owns their Detroit fox affiliate TV station as well via a subsidiary, plus sports betting is legal in Michigan - good for the FoxBet App, so there's some vertical integration benefits there too.

Doens't help that the Gunslingers had both a poor record  (12-24 all time) and finished in the bottom quartile of average home attendance in either of their seasons as well. 

What happened with the original USFL has no bearing on this.

Is it a league rule that the team can't have alcohol on the plane?  This guy is an idiot for getting hammered then driving rather than taking a cab or uber, but is the team really going to get in trouble if there wasn't any shenanigans on the flight other than guys having some drinks?

Yes, it is. I'm not saying anyone follows it, but in the aftermath of Britt Reid this is big. Washington self reported because Taylor Heinecke had beer cans in his hands in social media posts this week.

In order for Downing to have reached his BAC levels, he likely had to be drinking on the team plane.

Not as long as Tood Downing is still calling the offense. Reference last year's #1 overall AFC seed Snatit's dismal offensive showing in their first--and last--playoff game versus Cincinnati...and how not a dang thang has changed in that man's offensive scheming.

 

Yeah, they beat the Packers this time (and, it should be noted, their former OC-turned-GB HC)...never forget though, that this is the Snatit we're talking about here. There's a reason I've been calling them that the past three or four years...

We'll see how long Downing is around. He might get scapegoated after his DUI shines light on the team likely having alcohol on the plane and/or bus.
