NFL Random Thoughts

What are the best uniforms in the NFL, past or present?  Well here are my top 5 all-time uniforms in the NFL:

1. St. Louis Rams - The Throw Backs - The bright royal blue and yellow uniforms are just the best.  Yellow horn on those deep blue helmets. Should go back to those jerseys! Think Eric Dickerson and Jack Youngblood.

 

2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Creamcicles - At the time the Bucs were ridiculed for these orange cream jerseys with the little, lets just say less than masculine swashbuckler.  But now it seems so cool now, with so many teams with similar colors.

3. San Diego Chargers - Baby Blues - The popular vote Baby Blue uniforms of the Chargers are certainly a favorite.  They were ahead of their time in the 1960s. I also loved the 1980s Charger unis of Dan Fouts and Air Coryell.

4. Buffalo Bills - Current unis - The only team with current uniforms amongst the best.  Great use of the primary colors.  Nice blue numbers, red trim on their white jersey with the blue pants.  Very nice.

5. Philadelphia Eagles - The 80s - Not sure why, but I loved those bright green Eagle jerseys of Harold Charmichael, Wilbur Montgomery and Ron Jawaroski. And who remembers when they switched their home green jerseys to the away whites so that the Cowboys had to where their unlucky blue jerseys in the NFC Championship game in 1980?

Worst ever uniform:  The Pittsburgh Steelers bumble bee, prison gear.  My god, what is up with that uniform?  The Players had to hate putting those things on.

Second Worst: Denver Broncos stripped sock throw back.  Wait a tick....Who is who?  Steelers or Broncos.  If they ever played back in the day, it would be hard to tell who was who.

Now for the Best of the Best in the NFC and AFC after 9 weeks:

Best in the AFC:  Patriots, Broncos, Ravens, or Texans?  Well Texans with the best record in the AFC at 7-1 are certainly a team to beat the have a good running game, solid passing game and good defense.  After a road victory in Cincinnati by the Broncos, Denver could be a dangerous team and may be the one that goes to the Super Bowl.  I think you will see the Patriots begin to put things together for a deep run. Ravens are the worse 6-2 team right now. My vote:  Denver Broncos.

Best in the NFC:  Giants, 49ers, Bears, Packers, Falcons?  Atlanta is still undefeated.  The question is can they win in the post season?  This might be their year.  Solid team with a potent passing game with Ryan, Julio Jones, White and Gonzalez.  49ers are still a strong team that plays tough football. Packers have the offense but not the defense.  Bears certainly have the Defense, but their offense is a bit schizophrenic. And the Giants, well are the Giants, like the Patriots of the AFC will be ready for a long run in the playoffs.  My Vote: Chicago Bears.
