NFL to relax on who can wear single-digits

Reportedly, the NFL is going to allow anyone except OL and DL to wear single-digit numbers. Tom Brady thinks it is going to make for some bad football, based on what he posted on the Instagram.

I'm not sure this is going to be a big deal. I'm guessing the NFL is doing this primarily to increase jersey sales. After a few games, I would think whomever is blitzing and not blitzing won't really matter at all in regards to their jersey number.

And here's Tom Brady on the subject.

Why would a jersey number be a big deal?
If you are going up against a team, you tell me a player wouldn’t know who to block because of a number a guy is wearing?
To me, Brady is being a idiot.

packerfanoutwest (11m) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (13m) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (14m) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (14m) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (14m) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (18m) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (18m) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (19m) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (19m) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (21m) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (24m) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (27m) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (29m) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (29m) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (39m) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (44m) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (47m) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (47m) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (49m) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (59m) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (1h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (1h) : Packers will get in

beast (1h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (1h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (1h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (2h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (4h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (4h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (4h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (4h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (14h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (14h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (17h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed
