Annoying that TSN has 5 bloody feeds and none of them have the games today... otherwise could stream at a decent quality.

Probably for the same reason the Bucs don't do theirs anymore: It requires a different helmet. Teams who need a different helmet for a throwback have stopped doing so, I think, because of concussion concerns.

Cowboys somewhat overrated defense being absolutely exposed right now. Eagles might make this really ugly today.

It's gonna be much better than 8-8. They're gonna go 10-6, miss the playoffs, and then give Garrett a 5-year extension

Absolutely Romo-esque throw by Kaepernick. Sherman takes the gift.

Yeah, as the NFL turns. Each team is allowed only one set of helmets as of a couple years ago in the name of player safety.

The multibillion dollar revenue grossing NFL thinks its teams are apparently incapabable, and/or too cheap to get a second set of helmets, and properly customize those throwbacks to mimic the main helmets of their players for proper fit, including the correct padding and air in each.

I realize helmets aren't cheap, and need to be properly tested and fit...but this isn't high school, an extra $600 helmet for 50 players, and the time it takes to customize it will be gobbled up by the retro jerseys and merchandise that teams can sell. Many teams have abandoned the cool retros because of the mismatched helmet ruining the look.

I hate that offensive linemen can stand up and move once they've gotten set. That shouldn't be allowed

2 picks for Sherman so far this evening. Kaepernick looks horrible. Under 100 yards passing.

Why are the prime time games always snoozers this year?

I think the NFL is doing a great job with trying to make their brand unwatchable by upping the commercial quotient. Yawn.

Scoring play > commerical > kickoff (touch back) > commercial > injury > better sneak in another commercial...

Hard to buy into Carrol's whining to the ref's after seeing tonight's game. That and after the Green Bay game I don't think Seattle can ever complain about a bad call.

even though i think Wilson is slightly overrated, switch QB's and SF probably wins the super bowl.... Wilson doesnt give games away very often, crapernick does.... sad state of affairs that QB's like him, Dalton, Cutler and Flacco get paid what they do because teams are so desperate for QB's.. I'm sure Cam Newton will sign for big money and he has been horrible this year
