More's the pity. Maybe if they wore leather helmets, we'd see some more real tackling. ;)

The idea of "leather helmets" and "playing San Francisco" just conjures up the wrong sort of image to me.

Sorry, zombieslayer...speaking not of you, but of your city's, er, reputation.

Not a fan of these uniforms.

They are not the Blue Bay Packers. Otherwise they would be in New South Wales, Australia. Of course this time of year that would not be a bad option.

I don't deny they use to wear this type of a jersey. Still don't care for them. They have been in the color green for decades. I liked the other throw back jerseys they wore. I like the throw back jerseys I have seen other teams wear. I like going back and remembering past traditions. Maybe if it didn't have the yellow bulls-eye on the front I would like it better.

More likely it is because they are changing their primary color. I didn't like it when St Louis Cardinals went to a blue jersey in the 80's. They belong in white or red. Blue belongs to the Cubs and Brewers and the other teams that have used it for years.

You raise an excellent point. Most of the time (the Bucs probably being the notable exception with their hideous creamsicle uniforms), when teams go to their throwback uniforms, they're not changing the hallmark color that's represented them for so long. Sometimes the shade is a tad different, but the archetypical color that makes them recognizable is still there. These Packers throwbacks are a fundamental departure from the color scheme that has been the Packers' trademark for 60 years.

Off topic, I find it fascinating that the NFL went to modern plastic helmets back in 1950 -- over 60 years ago. Yet it wasn't until 1970, in the wake of the NFL/AFL merger, that the league mandated that all teams would put names on their jerseys.

Here is a picture of probably my favorite Packers throwback. Imagine how much he would have been fine for doing this in the modern-day NFL!

I called up Murphy/Ted and told them to change them to green by Sunday or we revolt.

You've also got Denver with that awful brown and yellow jersey, the Eagles with a yellow and light blue throwback, and the Jets with a blue and gold Titans throwback. Otherwise, most of them are the same. Even the Titans going back to the Oilers is pretty much the same color scheme.

Speaking of throwbacks, get a load of the formation at 0:31:

[youtube]sEj6NdplLK8[/youtube]

That's the old single wing/Notre Dame Box formation, in which the quarterback is a designated blocking back. I love how the backs move in a synchronized fashion as they line up in the backfield; it looks almost like dancing. And there's none of this long-count bullshit that ends up causing our own guys to false start. It's simply line up, "Hut!" and they're off.

By the way, am I the only one who caught the announcer's comment that the Packers are "piling it on in the first period" . . . in a game whose final score was 14-7? It's mind boggling to contemplate how low scoring the average game of that era must have been.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : *winning MVP

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
