Dunno if you know, but are the guys in the backfield muddy as hell or do they have stripeless pants?

Muddy as hell.

I'm almost old enough to have been around for that one.

I would be surprised if Packer fans did not outnumber Saints fans... Saints fans have other priorities right now (or at least, they should)

Yeah. My post was dumb.

Saints home opener vs Green Bay has been moved to Jacksonville.  Due to the lingering effects of Hurricane Ida to New Orleans, the team has been practicing in Arlington TX and had hoped to play the game there but couldnt because of a concert at AT&T Stadium. The Saints looked at Florida next as Aaron Rodgers has struggled playing in games in Florida. They ruled out Miami because its a destination spot and easy to travel to for Packers fans. They ruled out Tampa as they were worried the fans of their division rivals would show up cheering against them so they chose Jacksonville as of the three cities that would be the costliest for Packers fans traveling to the game, hoping to keep many Packers fans from coming to the game.

I predict Packer fans outnumber Saint fans at the game.

Hm, interesting. I guess they conflated dusk with sunset or it's supposed to depict both.

Or you have assumed it is sunset (and thus the sun) when it's actually dusk (and thus the moon).

I just don't see Mac Jones doing well this year. He's done most of his work against the backups and 3rd and 4th stringers. 

OK - so releasing Newton doesn't really have anything to do with your thoughts that they're good for 8 wins

I would have kept Cam as the backup. He's way better than Hoyer and he's not costing you much. According to Colin Cowherd it's because of the Covid hiccup last week. I think New England will be lucky to get 8 wins now. 

Because they've released their backup QB? That doesn't make sense.

It's also a known fact that the Eagles have very little faith in Jalen Hurts, and are stocking up on draft picks to either trade for Watson (if he's cleared) or move up to the top of the draft.  The best case scenario is that Hurts pans out and they can use those picks to build around him, but the front office doesn't think that's going to happen.

 

Watson will never be cleared. It's just a matter of time before he is parked or jailed. Trading for him could only involve a complex set of conditional picks, which I wonder if the NFL would even approve of such a trade.

It will be interesting to see hat happens to Watson by Tuesday when rosters have to get to 53. I wonder if he will "tweak a knee" at home this weekend and end up on IR?

Can anyone offer up some help/advice on how to include images in a post?  I attempted to use a "share link" from my FlickR account and when I pasted the link in the "insert image from URL" box, the box just turned pink and nothing happened.  Little help please?

Thx!

The whole “need clash pants!” thing seems to be a solution in desperate need of a problem.  

Or a reaction to football from futbol fans

I think similar helmets would be a far bigger deal than similar pants, not that either is a real issue.  Maybe if helmet and pants are the same color for both teams it would be something worth considering.

 

Nobody but us cares.

And not all of us care (or agree) with this line of thinking.

I know I'm nitpicking, but I liked the width of the stripes more in the earlier days of the Vikings uniforms.

That tends to show that sleeves have shrunk further from 2013, IMO

I cannot wait to see how they butcher the Rays city uniforms. 

Butcher how? I mean, it's not like any of the current batch are outstanding, so are you expecting Tampa Bay's to be worse?

What's the worst looking record that the 17 game schedule is foisting upon us?

 

9-8 is close, but I think I hate 7-10 the most. 

 

 

I'm a bowler. 7-10 sucks, but 8-10 is worse

All I really hope is that the ads on the jerseys will not have serious color clashes on any of them.

You don't really understand branding if you think this is remotely possible.

I'll check the Pro Shop tomorrow.  I'm going to a pre-season game for the first time since I don't know when.

Narrator: there was nothing in the Pro Shop, and the one person asked didn't even know the release date

Only twitter speculation,  but rumor has it we will be seeing 1936 green / yellow throwbacks for the Packers.

But he's going to win two super bowls and get two numbers retired!  He's an absolute moron.  I'm not sure how any organization could someone with such limited capacity to play the most important position for their billion-dollar team.

It might help your cause if your last sentence were complete. Glass houses, stones and what not.

Please no more navy / yellow.

I'd ask for no more alt, but I appear to be in the minority on that, and I know there's money to be made.

Agreed with 'no more navy'

ESPN’s Bill Barnwell: But running backs are fungible and should all be given one-year deals at the league minimum and used no more than absolutely necessary!!!!!1!

He's not the only one to say that. The key is in knowing when you have a running back who isn't fungible.

Packers' last 25 years: 255-143-2, 18 playoff berths, 13 division championships, 2 Super Bowls

Buccaneers' last 25: 184-216, 8 playoff berths, 4 division championships, 2 Super Bowls

 

I know everyone is always mad at the Packers for refusing to let Aaron Rodgers run the organization from his kitchen table, but their crap works. Maybe a big part of that is getting to beat up on the Bears every year, but they've given Rodgers more than enough whacks at the pinata over his career. If they've basically been an 11-win division champ every year of his career, I don't think they've failed him relative to the ways other teams have failed their talent.

For the record, we also have beaten up the Lions.

This Packer fan is NOT mad at the team for failing to include the QB is personnel decisions.  Jake Kumerow, supposedly the second best WR on the team when he was released, has failed to demonstrate his talent to anyone other than Rodgers.

Where have you seen that it's gonna be a brand new jersey based on the previous kachina? All I've ever seen are indications that they're going directly back to the 90s sweater. I hope what you're saying is true though, because as much as I like the 90s kachina, it really needs some tweaks for better contrast between the green and red and black. 

He didn't?
