We also want to remind you of our Gameday Thread guidelines:

• Don’t use gifs or videos in Game Day Threads because it slows down the comment section
• Don’t troll in your comments; create conversation rather than destroying it
• Remember Blazer’s Edge is basically a non-profanity site
• Out of respect to broadcast partners who have paid to carry the game, no mentions of “alternative” (read: illegal) viewing methods are allowed in our threads
