XL = 40

L = 50

hence them going with 50 instead of the worst letter in all of sports.

(not being a dick)  Just a heads up!

Are they sticking with the numbers instead of roman numerals from now on? I dont see SBLI sticking or anything under 56

great question.  I have no idea, thats up to the marketing gurus the NFL employs.

I remember reading about this a couple of years ago. They didn't want to use roman numerals since 50 = L. NFL didn't want "loss" or "loser" associated with the game (like the L in W/L), so they decided to just do regular numbers for this one. I think it will go back to roman numerals after this year.

Yeah I mentioned that earlier, but LI, LII, LIII looks kinda weird doesnt it?

    • You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful. 
    • Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.
    • On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
