What's the best for Steelers, Jets or Bills victory?

Colorblind fans had a hard time on Thursday night


Posted by Josh Alper on November 13, 2015, 7:09 AM EST


The NFL debuted their new “Color Rush” uniforms on Thursday night, which led to a lot of jokes about it looking like Christmas on the field with the all-red Bills taking on the all-green Jets.


For some fans, an early burst of the holiday spirit wasn’t an issue. Those who suffer from red/green colorblindness, which is the most common form and which the National Eye Institute says affects about eight percent of men and 0.5 percent of women, had a hard time differentiating between the two teams on the field.


Plenty of people took to Twitter to share their difficulties with watching the game and Deadspin put together a video simulating what the game would look like to people who are red/green colorblind. Watching it isn’t easy and would take close concentration on the trim of both teams’ pants to know which side everyone is on.


Thursday night games for the rest of the season will feature both teams wearing dark jerseys, with powder blue and gold up next week when the Titans face the Jaguars.

Yes I did. When they pulled back I couldn't tell who was who

Now won't a win Sunday put the Steelers in the #5 position, at least for a week?

Yes it will which is exactly what we want. Like I said for those who read my entire post now we have to take care on business.

Only because we will have played an extra game. Assuming the Steelers beat Cleveland and go to 6-4 going into the bye weekend, then if the Bills and Jets both win and sit at 6-4 while the Steelers are idle the Steelers would be the odd team out, I think.

They all play 16 when its over. The Jets losing is to our advantage as long as we continue to win. Bottomline is we want to win more than both of those teams so we get the #5 seed likely against Indy.

Also, IIRC, three-way tiebreakers are addressed within the division first.

Since, its pretty certain that all three teams are not winning out (Jets and Bills play again) I'd rather have only one team in front of the Steelers rather than two which is the case right now. Too much football to worry about it right now, but in the short term the Bills winning wasn't in the Steelers best interest, I don't think.

Edit: Ovi, your worst nightmare may come true this weekend. I think I heard that JH is out for the Browns game. It looks like Jarvis may get a full game.

Yeah, but positives are that they both have more away games than home games left, they both have to play New England again, they both play Dallas after Romo comes back, and they finish up with another head-to-head matchup in week 17. And I'll take a Ben-Landry combo at QB over Tyrod-E.J. or Fitz-Geno.

Completely agree about the QBs.

Not my nightmare. I'm prepared for a full game of nothing. Set really low expectations and won't be disappointed

[Slapstick]

More reps for Moats and Dupree as well...Moats can play on the left.

Maybe Chickillo sees some snaps...

I agree. want to put distance between one, not two teams to assure the best chance at playoffs.

[SteelCrazy]

I'll take the 5 seed this year. Better to be tied with two then behind one.

Really?
Sure he don't like JJ. But.........
If it were up to OV JH would not even be on the team.
Nobody argued against resigning him as much as OV.
