It doesn't take much to take the edge off of bright white (8.52). Of your choices, #eee (7.95) was the best, but I actually preferred #f2f2f2 (8.09). Similarly, a light blue such as #eaf0f3 (7.99), #e4f0f6 (7.95) or #eef2f5 (8.07) is pretty nice on the eyes. As I said, I like what's in the quote boxes.

Using Net Expected Points per Drop Back: Bills' average rating for opponent is about what the 7th-best defense put up, while the Packers' average rating for opponents is about what the 22nd best team put up.

I can't read light text on dark backgrounds for more than a couple of minutes. When I do, I see lines of "ghost text" floating around very quickly. I prefer the light. Of course, that's not the best for the eyes either - too bright. Actually, the light blue inside the quote boxed would be a good choice for that.

They should have a contest to find the 7,000 loudest, most raucous Bills fans.

I hope they have a garbage time opportunity over the last two games to get Dawkins another one. He's had one each over the last two seasons.

What was the distance between the crowd and the team?

"So, Matt, how was the game tonight?" "Literally every time I touched the ball, it ended up in the end zone." 😁

Yeah, you gots to haka back ...

The original pass was to the 31 with the receiver getting to about the 32. They then dropped back to the 10, got back out to the 23, went back to the 3, and got as far as the 10 before going out of the back of the end zone for the safety. 42 yards loss from the furthest point. Impressive, really. I wonder how many gamblers lost more from throwing something at the TV than they did on the original bet ...

Count me in on the 'hates the all red uniforms' crowd. Reminds me of some teams in Cooperalls:

Well, four down ... just needs the Browns to win tomorrow to clinch a playoff berth.

Looking more like 10-9.

I walked away from the Colts-Raiders game for a couple of minutes after the Raiders scored to move within 7. Came back and the Colts had scored a touchdown, recovered a fumble on the first play after the kickoff, scored a field goal and then had a pick six on the next drive. Just like that, 17 points! 3 for 3 so far (Patriots loss, Miami loss, Raiders loss) 2 left to clinch playoff spot: Bills win, Ravens loss

Odd stat of the day ... NE is leading the Chargers 35-0 ... Cam Newton has just 69 yards passing. 🤪

I don't know if the Chargers would have won with better coaching at the end, but they absolutely should have gotten to the onside kick with some time remaining. They should have not wasted timeouts earlier, "clocked the ball" or at least played "hurry up" when the clock was running and taken several pass attempts at the end zone before kicking the field goal (if the pass attempts failed.) There's no reason that shouldn't have been a one score game.

I'll be the first to say that players don't try to lose on purpose to improve their draft position, but it sure looked like somebody in the Chargers organization was trying. That, or they're just really incompetent. Yeah, it could be that.

Actually, I'm a 'he'. 😉

Denver tried to blow it, but held on thanks to some Fitz-magic.
