These days teams typically wear their dark jerseys at home, so the Eagles will likely be in their green or their black jerseys, meaning Dallas will likely be in their whites. Not a guarantee, but that's how it usually goes these days.

True, but Dallas usually wears white as home, unlike most other teams, so when they travel, most times they wear white then as well. Every now and then a team will smarten up and make Dallas wear blue, (it's the home team's choice what jerseys they wear), and Dallas' record is like 6-10,000,000 in those jerseys.Originally Posted by R_of_G
So far this year, Cleveland and St. Louis, who normally wear dark at home, have chosen white, in order to make Dallas wear blue. Didn't work for Cleveland, worked in spades for the Rams.
Exhibit A: from Philly last year:

Good luck everyone!! However things pan out, this should be one hell of a day for football.
I think I count 11 remaining games (including the Super Bowl) after this week. There will also be 4 Bonus Points (1 for each week of the playoffs, plus SB).

Dear Bucs Management,
Have we seen enough yet? John Gruden took a team that was 9-3 and missed the playoffs because he is the most overrated coach in the history of the NFL. He has no game plan. He has no sense of urgency. He has no idea how or when to use the replay challenge. He is utterly useless. PLEASE, for the sake of the team, fire this man.
Sincerely,
One Fed-up Bucs Fan
---
Change the word Bucs to Jets and the words John Gruden to Eric Mangini, and you will have my feelings on that one. Win or lose, the Jets need to fire Mangini by the close of business today. The man is still running the exact same game plan which he has been since the losing streak started. The one time the defense actually rushed Pennington, he coughed up the ball. You'd think it would result in more blitzing, but nope, right back to the prevent. I am so sick of the bullshit gimmick "wildcat" offense. It's nothing but smoke and mirrors and a good defense should be able to snuff it every time.
Can anyone tell this is a frustrating day to be a Jets and Bucs fan?
I know it's a good day to be a Raiders Dolphin fan.
Yeah yeah yeah.
As bad as the Raiders were this year, somehow they managed to beat both of my teams.
Is Mangini fired yet? I can't think of a single reason to keep him.
Also, can I finally stop having to hear all the "the Jets kicked Pennington to the curb" nonsense. It's so wildly inaccurate. The Jets treated Chad with respect and dignity. They could so easily have handed him a baseball cap and a clipboard and told him to be the backup, but they knew he could start for another team so they did the decent thing and let him go to one of those teams. In all of this hoopla, nobody bothered to ask Chad "would you rather have been a backup for the Jets or start for Miami?" I think I know what he'd say. Much as I hate the Dolphins, I'm happy for the guy because he always seemed like a decent person and he deserved a shot in another city. Favre or no Favre, Chad's days as Jets starter were over, and rightfully so. If it wasn't Favre, it was time to give Clemens the ball from day one and let him do his thing.
If there was a wrong move by the Jets it wasn't getting Favre, it was drafting Vernon Gholston. That guy is completely and utterly useless. We've nicknamed him the "invisible man" because he never shows up. He didn't even play in the last few games. He wasn't hurt, he just wasn't good enough to play. To think we wasted a #6 overall pick on that really burns me up, especially knowing how many legit defensive players were picked after him. Thanks for nothing Vernon.
Look on the bright side, you are having a good pick week
This was a poor, POOR season for Seahawk fan. I think they're letting Mike H. off easy by allowing him to retire. Whoever gets his services in a year from now....good luck!
Contest Update:
I may not post the Wildcard Weekend thread until tomorrow. I want to wait for NFL.com to post the final schedule.
Lots of great picking this weekend, on both ends of the contest.

Good job, Jeanne. Way to low-ball the points. Shoulda went Price Is Right style and guessed "1"
Oh, and you can change Mangini or Gruden to Edwards and Jets or Bucs to Chiefs, and I feel the same way.

True, there is a silver lining.Look on the bright side, you are having a good pick week
I feel your pain having had Herm as a short-lived coach with the Jets. He was a great assistant when he was here in Tampa with Dungy, but I don't think he's cut out for head coaching.
Son of a bitch! I meant to put Cincy as my pick in that game. I know it is only one game but at least then I would not have lost more ground on 1st.
You guys are talking about teams choking so how 'bout those Cowboys? The last 12 years no one has been better at it. I was sure they would choke against Philly but 44-6?
stupid Miami! Stupid Farve!!! STUPID! STUPID!!!! STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
Well, Dallas ended up wearing white, but they played like they were wearing blue.
Embarrassment doesn't even begin to describe that performance.
Normally I'd be filled with schadenfraude over a Cowboys spanking like that but I hate the Eagles so that game was a no win for me. Besides, it only makes it sting more that the Bucs lost bc had the Bucs won, the Cowboys loss would have given the Bucs the last wild card slot.
I'll still watch the playoffs, but I don't know who to root for as I hate all 12 teams involved.
I don't want to root for anyone, because then they'll lose.
