I wonder if there will be any mention that Brady used to play in NE.

Probably only a couple of hundred times

supposed to be hottest ticket to get 

 

"Biggest regular-season ticket in history for any sporting event,” Ace Ticket CEO Jim Holzman said.

And that's not just among Boston sports, that's every league, nationwide.

 

All of this talk about rest between games is irrelevant. The length of the season is the same for all teams. Having short rest for one game means that you have extra rest for the next. It all evens out in the end.

What does matter, when it comes to days off, is the particular opponent. With a short week of rest, is the upcoming opponent a divisional rival on the road, or is it a relatively meaningless AFC team that we're hosting? Likewise, I'd gladly take a short week to play a team if the following opponent is a divisional rival. Like I said, the number of rest days are the same for every team. What matters is who you play, and when you play them.

Of course Carson would ruin Christmas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Carson BAD

Carson Good.  Christmas 2021: Carson has ready reached the 75% of snaps by Christmas.   But they lose to the Cardinals and are officially eliminated from the playoffs.  Glorious Christmas Day!  Thank you, Carson!

If Wentz is starting Christmas Day, then the odds are pretty high he'll have played enough to secure us a 1st rounder. So we should be cheering for that. Of course, he could miss weeks 2-14 (or whatever week it will be) and screw us.

Colts will be resting starters that week.

Eagles with 4 wins.  FU Howie!

FYP.   😀

How are we getting hosed for Prime time games more than Dallas, Green Bay and New England?

That’s why I said partially. It explains why NFCE is generally higher than the Jacksonville, Chargers, Browns and bottom of the barrel teams.

Guaranteed to be flexed as two 7-9 teams play for the division championship.

Nah.  This has more to do with the majority of die-hard Wentz fans hating Hurts because he took Wentz’ job. 

I'd say Wentz played his way out of a job, they tried to give his job back to him, and they then gave it to Hurts.  Saying that Hurts took Wentz' job implies he did something to earn it.

Eagles tank and the giants miss the playoffs at 8-9 and **** about it for the next year. A new tradition!

Not really. For example, Seattle's shortest trip is over 800 miles to Vegas. Everything else is over 1000 miles. Our trips to NYC are less than 100 miles and to DC less than 150. If you factor in the travel time, Seattle's rest is truncated by the time it takes to travel 2000 miles vs, our 200-300 (round trip),

Showed more leadership and maturity than a five-year veteran.

By suiting up and playing football?

Like I said, he did nothing to earn it.

True.

But the body is still recovering from the prior game while on the plane, albeit maybe not as a effective as a living room couch.

To me that's the biggest issue with rest, not the preparation, but the recovery from the prior game.

The one benefit of sucking last year....less primetime games.....I hope.

None of us knows what went on in the locker room or team meetings.

Everyone gets 1 Thursday night game. Likely at least one of the Dallas’ games is primetime. I’m guessing you are probably right.
