NFL 2016-2017

Yeah....even as a Seahawks fan I think those uniforms are ugly as hell. Thought the color was bad when they announced it, but it looks even worst in action with the matching pants and shoes. Maybe they should keep wearing them as a distraction

The Seahawks are so hot and cold this season it's hard to say which o-line will show up to which game. Last week was just ugly, and Wilson's worst professional game ever. Hope the good team shows up to the playoffs.

They could be playing nighttime in a stadium without floodlights and the Seahawks players would still be visible because of their reflective uniforms.

Yeah, the Rams were blinded by their uniforms!





Eh, football is stupid.

I didn't mind the Seahawks' unis. I thought they were kind of "fun". Not much to say about the Rams' though, other than the fact that their helmets (always the best in the league) looked great.

I'm still trying to figure out how the Raiders, the only team in the league to have black as one of their primary team colors since the team's inception, doesn't get to wear all black in these "wacky uniform" games.

 

[1001001]

Agreed on the Rams helmets.

Love the white horns.

 

[Finn]

I thought those...special Bills helmets with all white with a red silhouette of a bison were weird.

 

[Peach Wookiee]

That was too bright... action green is an accent color!!!

 

[Finn]

1. Patriots....Whoo!

2. Texans...Sigh, they win but shame they have to pay Brock that much for sitting on the bench...

3. Marvin Lewis....It's time. Making playoffs have been a hit and miss during the Marvin Lewis years, and they made it past first round only ONCE. I'm astonished that he's still the head coach....since when I still lived in Cincinnati all those years ago

Raiders are back in the playoffs. The last time they went I graduated high school.

 

[Finn]

Which city were they in at the time?

Still Oakland. They might not be there in a few years though.

It was 2002

Congrats to my Raiders. We have been on the right track for the last few years, or since we hired Reggie McKenzie. Before the season, I figured this season or next would be the year we made it to the show.

As maligned as the Raiders' defense has been, I read an article over the weekend that had them close to "elite" in some important advanced metrics stats. They are like no. 1 or 2 in points allowed in the last 3 minutes of games, which I guess means that they're likely to win most close games.

They're also near the top in turnover differential. Deceiving stat, IMO. There are defenses who "depend" on turnovers and defenses who get turnovers while in the course and scope of causing general mayhem. The Bronco's D fits into the latter category. Jury is still out on the Raiders' D.

Chargers to L.A. sounds like a done deal. I applaud the people in S.D. who just said no to multi millionaire, Spanos family. These people make, and could continue to make, TONS of money playing in the same old stadium. But what the Chargers are saying is, "yes, but we could make SO much more if you taxpayers would just help us out". And yes, this also applies to my team.

The only down side foe me is that we get yet another suck ass organization calling itself "L.A.".

(Sorry, Digits. )

Gotta give it to them, Raiders look legit this year. Definitely in the conversation. Glad they made the leap, as some of the usual suspects have turned into suck-bags this year, so nice to see some fresh blood in it. Mack is a beast.

See how the next two weeks shake out, but could be the Raiders heading back to Foxboro to take another crack at a game in the snow. Steelers are the only other concerning team in the AFC this year; Texans are going to be one and done, KC I don't think has a chance, and right now the other team is the Dolphins without their QB.

Beating Denver last night was a big one, pretty much keeps them out. Depending on how next week goes, Pats could go into the final week not needing a win, so could basically decide to let Miami win to keep out a Baltimore or Denver if it comes to that. After last year, think Belichick sees the advantage of home field, so doubt he'll mess with that game much unless it really doesn't mean anything.

Probably best if they don't bring their security company with them....

I was forced into rooting for the Eagles thursday night. Was not disappointed. I'm absolutely astonished at how this season has turned out for Dallas. If you would have told me after Romo goes down in the pre-season that the Cowboys would lock up the number 1 seed with two games to play in the regular season, I'd have thought you were crazy.

I feel really bad for Romo, he was duck tape for a broken franchise for so many years and now that they have finally drafted a sturdy offensive line and a legitimate back to take some of the workload, he won't get to enjoy it.

That being said, I'll root for him wherever he goes. He was my favorite Cowboy of all time.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Good O-Line or not, Romo would have gotten sacked once and broken his collarbone...again.

He has the worst luck ever for a QB.

Possibly. One of the reasons why I love him is that he literally killed himself for a franchise fanbase that was too spoiled and entitled to appreciate him.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

No doubt he's sacrificed his long term health for that team.

 

[Timby]

He really does. I don't have the energy to pull current numbers, but the last time I ran them, in most of the meaningful statistics he's easily in the top 15 all-time, and yet for much of his career he's been treated as worse than Satan because he hasn't won in the playoffs -- which completely disregards the fact that a quarterback has literally no impact on how a defense performs, unless he's an interception machine.

 

[Vanyel]

I always stuck up for him. But Dak is the future. Tony gave it his all. I'll always appreciate him for that. I also hope he retires. He could be the Cowboys' quarterback coach. Dak could still learn a lot from him.
