Or maybe we just…. Don’t care.

If you walked up to me on the street and asked me how many feet were in a mile I’d tell you 5280. But if you randomly showed me a sports uniform that had that number on it, I don’t know that I’d immediately make the connection that that’s how many feet were in a mile, and that team is therefore from a city that’s a mile above sea level and blah blah… Because it’s stupid.

Yeah, as a non-Lions fan living in Detroit, I can tell you, although locally everyone is guzzling the Dan Campbell kool aide, I do believe it’s only a matter of time until his in game decisions cost them a game. (Actually, in his first couple of seasons it already did.). I get why right now the DC love is enormous… he got them a division championship, he’s a funny goofball you’d want to have a beer with, the players would run thru a wall for him, he totally flipped the team culture. BUT… my assumption was at this point he’d learn a few lessons about when to be a river boat gambler and when to be an NFL coach and play it straight. He seems incapable. He is who he is. I’m not expecting him to rewrite his risky script completely, but come on… sometimes you gotta be smarter. Going for 2 for the win in Dallas was a great call and they certainly seemed to get screwed on the call. But at that point it’s a 2 point conversion from the 8. Just kick for the tie, dummy. He was just so frustrated by the call it became a stubborn “I’ll show you” moment. He let his emotions take over. Because of that dumb tough guy decision, they got what was coming to them. And eventually it’ll happen again.

Wait… is that an actual on court NBA uniform? That’s exactly why I stopped paying attention to NBA uniforms once Nike bent the league over a coffee table. I hate when national brands do this “insider fan” garbage. Peachtree and ATL and Duuuuval. City nicknames replacing the actual city. It all comes off as so rinky dink. Embarrassing. I’d be willing to bet that, even if the Broncos do something stupid, it won’t be as stupid as that Nuggets uniform that looks like they got it at a mall kiosk. But watch them prove me wrong.

I know I shouldn't even ask, but what the hell is an 5280?

The Lions might have kicking issues, too. We just can't tell because Mr. Bite-their-kneecaps never kicks.

Cleveland vs. Houston Miami vs. Kansas City Pittsburgh vs. Buffalo Green Bay vs. Dallas Los Angeles vs. Detroit Philadelphia vs. Tampa Bay

The Chargers have a navy alt and a royal blue alt, but neither color appears anywhere on their primary uniform.

Flush the B.S? Is there anyone in the NFL more full of B.S. than this addle brained pinhead?

Pittsburgh vs. Baltimore Houston vs. Indianapolis Tampa Bay vs. Carolina Atlanta vs. New Orleans NY Jets vs. New England Cleveland vs. Cincinnati Jacksonville vs. Tennessee Minnesota vs. Detroit Philadelphia vs. NY Giants Dallas vs. Washington Seattle vs. Arizona LA Rams vs. San Francisco Chicago vs. Green Bay Kansas City vs. LA Chargers Denver vs. Las Vegas Buffalo vs. Miami

I don't see any way in hell some team would give the Bears a first for Fields. Not at this point. If Chicago puts him on the market they're basically telling everyone they plan to draft a new QB, which kinda kills their leverage. You'd think they might get a 2nd rounder for him, tho I'm not really sure from who. Maybe some team that missed out on a QB in the first round might give a Bears a two for him. But I think you're right about Chicago keeping him. After all they seem intent on keeping that coach.

Yeah, next year, with the top 12 teams going to the playoffs, the old bowl system will be true and completely dead. As a general rule, the playoffs will eat up the top 3 or 4 SEC teams, the top 3 Big Ten teams, the top 2 or 3 Big 12 teams, and probably 2 from the ACC. Throw in Notre Dame most years, and the other bowls will mean even less than they do now.

NY Jets vs. Cleveland Detroit vs. Dallas Tennessee vs. Houston Atlanta vs. Chicago Miami vs. Baltimore New Orleans vs. Tampa Bay New England vs. Buffalo Arizona vs. Philadelphia Carolina vs. Jacksonville Las Vegas vs. Indianapolis LA Rams vs. NY Giants San Francisco vs. Washington Pittsburgh vs. Seattle Cincinnati vs. Kansas City LA Chargers vs. Denver Green Bay vs. Minnesota

Does SMU always wear those “Dallas” uniforms now? I haven’t been paying much attention to them for a while but I feel like they used to have better looks.

Don't sell him short... he's a tremendous slouch.

I'm not trying to say Fields is some kinda hidden gem or anything, but those stats are calculated with Purdy throwing to Deebo, Aiyuk, and McCaffrey, while Fields is throwing to... I don't even know... you and me, maybe?

What @infrared41said. Yeah, so the 49ers are just going to give up 5 interceptions every week now? Seems unlikely. And without those interceptions, I wonder what the score would be?

Mullens is an absolute turnover machine. The Vikings season was over when Cousins’ achilles blew up… it just took a while for them to figure it out.

Have the Lions worn their standard blue jerseys and gray pants together yet this season? What a bunch of morons.

Can you give any specific examples?

This idea imagines a world in which a team knows and/or cares what their opponent is wearing and makes decisions based on that knowledge. In all my (way too many) years of paying attention to sports uniforms I’ve never seen the slightest piece of evidence that any team give two seconds thought to what the other guys are wearing.

And who do you have taking them out? Especially in their first playoff game? Every other team in the NFC (Lions? Cowboys? Especially the Cowboys) have a much harder time when playing without an early lead. And the other NFC wildcard teams are likely to be an embarrassingly bad collection of undeserving pretenders

It is, definitely. . Comedy? (Debatable). You have to admit, to the rest of us whose fraudulent teams can barely string two wins together, 10 and 3, however you get there, seems hard to complain about.
