Do you understand how football works?! Respectfully, this is the same as saying lets pay our kick returner QB1 money and wondering why the results arent the same...

After hearing what BOB did in Houston to put himself in position for the Pats job while employed there in the book Its Better To Be Feared... thats not someone who seems to fit w what they have going on here. Dude sounds like a bit of a tool and Me First type of cat

Asking for a friend, can people be fired from posting on message boards?

Lamesauce. Starting your own thread for thoughts needs to be earned. This would have been fine w everyone else's thoughts...

Its the sideline cap from 3 years ago. Probably ebay as they are clearenced out each year

I thought i stumbled into a facebook group here for a sec... thanks. Im glad i asked..

Riddell makes are markets many different types of helmets for each team for autograph collectors. This, ice (all white), shadow (all black w red outline) as different options for people to get signed and display. This is one of those options and nothing more fwiw

I cant say the thought has ever crossed my mind....

Any attention is good attention, am i right?!

Post of the year!

Neat-o!

Thats about as slanted and slanted gets. Not a tough call to call BS. Kinda dissapointed i gave them a click.

Maybe they are over now! Protest the game!!!

RAWR!!!

Funny. I thought by now an appropriate amount of time would have passed to sober up. Guess not

So I own a white and a blue TB kelly, but was that white one once yours? Like i said it came from CL and was in a wood frame in front of some drums. The othet weird thing about most of the few Kellys out there (like the blue in the hof) is that they all have 2 stripes where the ones used in game just have 1. I originally thought it might have been tailored and modded but no one actly wore 2 stripes and as you can see with pre 91 champions some players chose the 2 stripes and some players like kelly religiously cut the bottom one off so i dunno.

Whats funny is a guy at my work just aquired a complete set of prototypes from a former nfl exec. Most are the same but there are some small differences in the placment of the russell logo on the rams sleeves, and how both the font and the name plate are slightly different fonts but the prototype used screened numbers while the final product utilized vinyl names and numbers. The bears and steelers are far and away the most involved and intricate. Just awesome jerseys and Champion was on another level with their uniforms back then. The steelers still have blanks they list on ebay that go for just under a grand which is amazing. I miss the days where there wasnt just 1 official supplier even though most were still made in Berlin WI back then (save champion in rochester) they were all different and unique.

You are correct.! I should have taken the 2 min to try and remember better! That said, i still feel like it was more lazy design than cheapness but i guess we will never really know. Being sich an unestablished thing there werent really throwback rules yet. Its always fun to look back and see how much things have changed

Thats my pic! I think we spoke about this before. This came from a house next to Rex that had it framed and in front of a drum set. A white and blue just sold last week. The white that sold incorrectly had 2 patches though. A few Simpsons are out there as well. Other than that maybe 6 others are known in the hobby, 2 of which are a blue Daviss. Cool stuff! Again, im not aware of a team that actually changed colors for their helmets so im not sure how much being cheap had to do with it as just changing the stickerz and bumper logos

The design process that went into the 94 jerseys was a league wide mandate that, at its time, was the 1st of its kind. Before then only one offs in different sports like the white sox in 1991 had messed with throwbacks. Seems crazy today, but only a handful of teams even offered the 94 throwbacks for sale at the team store at replica levels and even fewer authentic. The Bills for example offered no retail version of the 94 duds. There were a few extras for players that were auctioned off or available via team channels for employees but nothing for the people. Let that sink in for a sec how foregin that is by todays standards. Not one, but TWO alt jerseys were worn and not even available to the public for sale. Anywho, it obviously started a trend and now days even though these jerseys have been reproduced over the years with various degrees of accuracy the 75th patch jerseys have become cult classics and often the most popluar Mitchell Ness fb jerseys made and they often sell out the run. Fun fact. Original merch from 1994 has a hidden word HAY in the 7. Its stitched red and slightly raised, but its an excellent was to tell if aomething is original from 94 or a reproduction

Keep in mind we still have 5 non 1pm games to wear them. They were made optional this year, but id assume you'll see them under the lights. Worth noting, they did have some reds being clearenced out so i originally wondered this as well, but after looking into it further it was the 100th NFL season neck logo - hence the clearence. Good bet you'll see them over the last 5 weeks.

Ouch.... well, thats a wrap as they say in the bizz!

Someone get this guy a cookie - STAT! Maybe its me, but this is akin to bragging about having common sense...

Division games are always tough. It seems both teams decided this was going to be a knock down drag out old school game of football before the ball was even rolled out there today. What killed me however was the Davis drop. The points and the control hurt - but it makes such a huge difference in having to read some of the garbage takes on here. If davis catches that, its another offensive TD, 4 more points, and the last drive has a totally different feel/goal. It was the difference in putting it out of reach or at least being in control and having to listen to a certian crowd whine about how we should have crushed them. My god, any win over the Pats is great. Should it have been by more? Under perfect circumstances yes. But a lot about today wasnt perfect. Context is important. IMO, THAT is why the Davis drop sucked...

1st page wahooo!!! I hope the Bills win tomorrow. This thread may get out of hand otherwise. That said. Maybe a good conspiracy theory will help take the mind off a loss. In the end, id imagine Bills wise itll be much ado about nothing
