I can get used to the Jersey but the Flat Helmets? Who knows, maybe it will grow on me. I like the 70s uniforms the best

Yup, Patterson and Burton have both looked really good. Simpson should not assume he's made the team. He needs to step it way up. I'm curious to see how Webb plays at WR, too.

Those jerseys are NOT blue...lol It's more of a matte purple. I like the new jerseys though. We look more tougher. We don't have all that gold on the uniforms anymore.

Pretty interesting first half. Cordarrelle Patterson looked the part in the first half. Sharrif looked explosive until he got hurt. Matt Cassel doesn't look to bad TBH. Also, where the hell has this been from Stephan Burton? I like what I have seen tonight!

Those uniforms are very purple. Especially the helmets. Anybody thinking that is blue has a t.v. or computer monitor problem.

I agree. PA should stick to radio. Even then he isn't great (my opinion).

I'm assuming we will see some of Joe Webb in the second half? We've already seen Jennings, Patterson, Simpson, Wright, and Burton already. I think the guys playing for a WR spot are up next.

Hope Patterson is done for the night, I'd like to see what Webb and some of the bigger guys like Summers and Smith can do in the 2nd half.

I just got home and turned the game on and LOL at those who think the uniforms are blue. They couldn't be any more purple.

I love his radio show, I just think he sucks as an announcer.

Must be me cause the pic posted here they look blue too. But I equally hate the flat matte or whatever its called of the helmets.
