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.

packerfanoutwest (58m) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites

Zero2Cool (8h) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (22h) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break
