That seems to be the expectation in the uni-watch community, but there’s been nothing set in stone by the league at this point. I don’t believe that such a mish-mash combo will be the norm, or perhaps even be allowed by NFL Properties. They will likely be used only for alternate sets and throwbacks and there will be limits on how many times they can be worn.

And where does the Josh Allen money come from?

There’s no chance we can afford to resign Williams. He’s been a stud all year and shut down Watt & Bosa. He will get PAID and he absolutely deserves it. But having a third guy on the OL making $10-13M/year just isn’t feasible. Maybe especially since the refs are allowing holds unless they’re obvious & egregious, it would be easier filling that hole than an honest to god pass / edge rusher or re-upping Milano. We thank him for his service and wish him the best. It’ll either be Ford, draft pick, or another cheaper pick-up.

Mahomes concussion updates
UConn James replied to ColoradoBills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Looked more like his neck got bit tweaked more than a hit to the head, but then again concussions & causes can be weird. He also had a turf toe issue in the first half that looked bothersome. -
“I’m changing the lives of other women"
UConn James replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in Off the Wall
😮. How does she have four kids and her body isn’t completely trashed? -
The Rams were given dispensation to wear their throwback blue/yellow in the Super Bowl vs. the Pats... likely because the sets they were stuck with from St Louis (they were waiting on the new LA stadium was completed to do a redesign) looked like 💩. IIRC, the Saints also wore their beautiful Color Rush set a couple of times in the playoffs. I’m hoping & expecting that we’ll be wearing the blue jersey & white pants.

I’m not a fan of Andre Roberts taking KOs out of the end zone with such frequency. Not only is there the odds of not even making it to the 25 — like on a couple yesterday — but always the potential for holding penalties which back you up into a terrible series of bad field position. Roberts REALLY screwed us over to start the Tenn game this year and everything after imploded as well.

Bucs/WFTeam Playoff Game- 8:15 EST
UConn James replied to RaoulDuke79's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
On that punt, on that last replay they showed, it looked like it DID hit the Bucs’ player’s hand warmer that was on his back side. -
Playoff Game Postgame Thread
UConn James replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If John Brown bumped McK out today, it wasn’t a good call. Smoke got snuffed. -

Round 1 Playoff: Colts at Bills - Sat. 1/9 1:05pm
UConn James replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Whatever for the time slot. What I’m worried about is that we’d better not be wearing the white uni & blue pants like the last two WC losses in the McD era. It’s a bad luck combo. -
Mmmm. No. The first picture is of the blue socks. The second is the blue socks worn really low so the stripes are virtually hidden. They’ve also worn all white and all blue (no stripes) this and last season. It appears that the captains or Josh himself (UniWatch says uni selection is sometimes left to the QB solely) don’t like the sock stripes. And Kim Pegula may have some influence as well. But... THESE are the white striped. No block of blue right below the pants. I don’t know when they wore them last. But the ones you’re calling white striped above are NOT the white striped... they are the blue striped.

Ref's for the Bills game are... (update - Week 17)
UConn James replied to Just Jack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Other than the non-call on the Pats* OLman who held Addison on the play when he backward-bumped into Cam in the backfield, then Cam ran it for the TD, I think the refs called a fair game. On Tre’s DPI where he clearly did not agree... yeah it was definitely DPI on the replay. Not much yellow and they let the guys play 👍🏼. Some refs just seem to want to get their faces on teevee and get flag-happy, like the Broncos game. I just wish the league could get it together and make calls more consistent. -
Week 16 Bills @ Pats* Gameday Thread 1st Half MNF
UConn James replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Can’t remember who got the opening kickoff. Do we get the ball after the half? -
NFL Seeking to move to 17 game season in 2021
UConn James replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If they’re already moving back the Super Bowl and not committed to that first weekend in February, why not also add in another bye week? Increasing the number of competitive games takes a toll injury-wise and on time apart from family. NFL had two byes during the Kelly years. I don’t know why they stopped it. Especially with the COVID situation fouling up scheduling, it would have been very helpful this season if they had put an extra bye this year. -
There is some speculation that the one-shell rule will be relaxed next season to allow another color for throwback / alternate unis. I don’t believe there’s any data that shows players having only one helmet that they ever use during a season prevents head injuries / concussions. Colleges, U of Oregon for the most extreme example using a different one every week due to Nike sponsorship in their president’s backyard, use many different shells through the year.

Anybody else struggle with missing Christmases of the past?
UConn James replied to BillsPride12's topic in Off the Wall
It’s been a long time since I enjoyed a Christmas. My mum was bipolar and would almost always have an angry-depressive event on the day of. Even in good years, there’s been family stuff with divorce and custody that threw everything off. A couple of times I had really bad migraines for a few days around it. My mum passed in early December 2014 from pancreatic cancer and it’s weird to say that the two years during the surgery-chemo process were maybe the best Christmases I can remember; maybe it was a case of all the BS being set aside and just enjoying the time that the family had left. Since then it’s been pretty joyless. A good deal of grief and depression the time of year brings up, a custody situation where I haven’t seen my niece from one brother in 5 years (he lives down the street and has health issues so I would spend LOTS of time with her) and my other brother lives some distance away and his wife is... difficult in the Karen kind of way and they do tons of presents for their kids (while owing my dad thousands that he loaned) and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I think I’ve only put up the tree two times since 2014. It just doesn’t feel like a holiday anymore.
