Your joke reminds me of something interesting. The red Bills helmet that some people wanted them to wear last night actually exists because of colorblindness. Our quarterback during that time, Joe Ferguson couldn't see certain colors and was throwing a poo poo-ton of interceptions because all of the AFCE teams had white helmets including the Patriots.

I didn't know there was an actual colourblindness issue involved, I thought it was just because all the white helmets made picking out your receivers difficult, and the red helmets would make them stand out.

(Bring back the red helmets)

Do colorblind people also have problems with the USC - UCLA games? They are the only other two solid color matchups I can think of.

Most colourblindness affects the ability to see red or green. So they might have trouble seeing the USC unis, but the UCLA unis should be alright.

More teams need to go matte helmets, like the Vikes or 50% of the Jags.

I'm fully preparing myself for a Jets victory in Week 17, thereby knocking the Bills out of the playoffs. This world exists to punish Rex Ryan for his hubris.

But I'll ride this high until next Monday.

Bills breaking the drought would be good enough, to be fair.

Would would be the new drought if they did?

Raiders and Browns are tied at 12 seasons.

In that case, ahahah get hosed Browns.

(This post is going to come back to haunt me when the Raiders lose the WC game, isn't it?)

It's a night of contrasts. On one hand, I want a stone tablet carved only with the words "gently caress THE PATRIOTS".

On the other hand ahahahahahaha get hosed broncos.

The Raiders offense is poo poo-hot. However, a rad offense means nothing if you're letting guys make 80 yard runs.

I can only imagine Reggie McKenzie is currently working out just how many defensive backs he can take in a single draft.

Murray carrying 4 Vikings with him to pick up a first down was :krad: though.

Also, Cooper is the best rookie in the league.

Peyton is retiring after this year. He has his record, and is presumably richer than god. Why should he care anymore.

The announcers and me and everyone I saw the game with yesterday were trying to figure out what the hell happened on that kick. The replays showed it wasn't blocked so everyone just assumed it was somehow the holder, but to get your own hand in the way of the kick is probably something you don't even consider happening :laffo:

It's not even mentioned in coaching because one would assume "DON'T BLOCK YOUR OWN KICK" is a given.

Don't forget Kirk Cousins getting a defensive coordinator fired

Also Saints firing Rob Ryan and replacing him with a man the Raiders left behind in London last year after 4 games.

In comparison, the Raiders are the old money fallen on hard times. Except now, the youngest son has a promising career again.
