OFFICIAL NFL Discussion Thread: 2015-16 Season - Congrats to the Denver Broncos and their fans! SB 5

[The Glove]

Really annoying to see Seattle squeek by so luckily in these type of wins

also have had some heartbreaking losses too man |I

 

[Cars]

 

 
Dallas gets saved by an error that they committed?? Interesting

Conveniently forgetting that the Seahawks got no penalty for 12 men/calling TO's twice in a row. We would have had an automatic first down in the RZ. Instead it was still 4th down

There was no insinuation in my comment 

 I was literally saying "interesting." It's unusual that you get a 2nd chance by a penalty that you commit

Dallas on some hard luck.

Shows you the worth of Romo though.

 

[IATT]

Why hasn't St. Louis figured out a way to match the blue on the helmet to the blue of the jerseys?

Never understood that.

Can't switch helmets.. So when they go retro, it's different blues

Think there is another team with this issue, can't remember off the top of my head

The NFL conveniently forgets and remembers penalties for their darling teams.
They were conflicted because two of them played against each other just now.

Seattle ain't a darling team lol.

I just saw the recap of the Steve Smith injury. I ******* love that guy!

It happens and he just looks like "sht that isn't supposed to feel like that" taps his calf and points to the medical staff. Eventually the pain got to him but dude is a tank

 

[htg designs]

I dont get it. This isnt basketball. You score 49 and lose?

 

[broncos19dm]

Hope Peyton is alive today.

I just saw it too. He makes it look painful. Kobe took free throw afterwards. I dont know what to believe.

Can't switch helmets

2nd time hearing that this week.

Is there a good reason behind this?

I don't get it.

 

[Armada]

I wasn't watching the game but someone told me what happened to Ricardo Lockette 

.

Hopefully he has a good and speedy recovery.

 

[silverbackhoney]

But the Packers, Bills, Falcons, and Patriots all switch helmets???

You can DEFINITELY switch helmets.

 

[mister friendly]

The Rams have always had darker helmets.

 

[mpire]

Dallas on some hard luck.

This. Lol at all them years of dudes thinking Romo was the reason for 8-8. In a way they were right: without him they were easily 2-14

 

[dmxfury]

I'm still trying to figure out why I watch this sport. Sometimes the refs are just so bad and it just goes away until next week.

One of many reasons I don't care as much anymore

The ******** are wearing the same helmets thanks to a new NFL rule that bars teams from using different helmets throughout the year. It’s thought that new helmets aren’t as safe as ones that have been previously worn. The league said it takes time to break in helmets and safety issues can arise when new equipment is used.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ plans to wear their retro “creamsicle” throwback jerseys, complete with winking “Bucco Bruce” helmet, were dashed due to a new NFL safety rule.

The issue came from the white helmets, which violated a new NFL guideline that was recently implemented due to recommendations from the NFL’s Head, Neck and Spine Committee and the Player Safety Advisory Panel.

The issue with the helmets, which were to be worn during the team’s Hispanic Heritage celebration week, is that they are not the usual helmets players wear. The new NFL guidelines suggest that once a player has a helmet he likes and that fits him well, he should continue wearing that helmet throughout the season. The introduction of a new helmet midway through the season runs the risk of putting an improperly fitted helmet on a player’s head.

I wonder if the new unis teams are going to wear for the TNF games will have new helmets as well.

 

[silverbackhoney]

I hate football. But I'm addicted to it because I start to miss it in the offseason.

The little amount of games makes it for me. Every game has a meaning to it while all the other big sports have 82+ games.

wins are wins

don't matter how you get them

Yeah Kobe's pain tolerance is insane too. I know a guy that tore his and he said you hear it pop and your calf tightens and bursts into flames. It was described to me as a charlie horse in your calf that also happens to be on fire

I think my appreciation for great players with a really high pain tolerance comes from my really low pain tolerance. All injuries felt like the end of my life when they happened to me.

I think they said also that the packers are wearing the same uniforms that they wore during Super Bowl 32 when they lost to the Broncos... Not sure why they would wear those or as to what is actually different about the jerseys.

Been co-signing this for ages, it seems.

Romo is a great regular season QB

 

[green rhino123]

glad one of these two undefeated teams will lose tonight
