Isn’t brees ahead of him in losses and big ben near? Two other likely hall of famers

Ben is 148-71.
No where near Eli.

Brees is 149-112.
Eli is 119-107.
Eli will pass Warren Moon with 2 losses and Brees with 6 more.
What is stupid is my guy Brady is 223-65.
That is just stupid how good he has been.

Well at least Eli’s not 117-109 and Brady 225-63

I just can’t find it in me to have anything more than due respect for Brady.

They need to go to 18 & 2 and start next week.

I absolutely despise the 18&2 idea with a passion. I kept trying to sell myself on it and I can’t do it. I stopped trying lol.

It’s why nobody cares.

Ben, to his teams credit, has much less in the L column.

Moon has more Ls than Ws.

Eli will be Top 10 in Wins this year.

It’s not baseball, nobody cares.

And now the weak Americans have won by making wins there irrelevant too.

I like Matty ice, but not enough shade gets thrown his way.

Look, 16 & 4 has GOT to go, times have changed.

Bump the rosters to 60/50 instead of 53/45.

Include mixed team practices open to the public.

The preseason has no use now, 2 games would make it a ramp.

Don’t want more games.
Owners just want more money.
The preseason sucks but if the owners wanted to charge less they could.

They already do, but it’s just creative accounting.

1 season ticket for the Giants has been (in my section) $1,500 a year for a while.

A few years ago they lowered the preseason to like $60 a game, but my total remained the same.

Obviously they just upped the regular season to even it out.

Next step to insure a ticket increase is swap 1 pre for a regular.

It was 14 & 6 for a while too, it’s time.

 

[Guinness]

hate the idea of 18-2 almost as much as I hate Thursday night football. Not to mention they want to add play off teams which would further water down an already watered down post season.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Are they going to start the season before labor day again? They moved away from that 15 years ago because that weekend got crappy ratings.

 

[OrangeDW]

Yup. In important games, it’s Eli - 2. Brady -0.

I like the playoffs the way they are.

The goal is to get the SuperBowl to Presidents weekend, they won’t be moving up to Labor Day.

 

[Alsacs]

Kaiser is right.
The idea would be to start the season the same time the first Sunday after Labor Day.

The Super Bowl would be the Sunday before a holiday on Presidents Day Monday.

I just hate the idea of two more week.

As you said the price says the same.
The NFL owners want 2 more weeks for TV money which is the number one source of the profits.

They don’t need to sell one ticket and they are profiting 100 million dollars a team because of TV money.

They want more of that as the additional inventory would compensate the networks for ratings declines.

The current system is perfect. The schedules are now balanced no need to change it.

Schedules are balanced and you like it.

Shocker.

Patsies have the 32nd most difficult schedule

The schedule is determined for 14 games every year and the other 2 are the other finisher in the same spot from the other 2 divisions.

6 division games.
Another division in your conference. 4 games
A division from the other conference. 4 games.
2 teams from your conference from the other divisions. 2 games.

That is 16 games and it’s nice and easy.
That schedule strength for the Pats is seriously misleading.
It’s because the AFC East sucks.
Those 6 games drag the perception of the Pats schedule down.
The other 10 games aren’t easy.
They play the AFC South same as the Giants.
Which is 3 solid teams Jax, Hou, Ten and then the bum Colts.
They play the NFC North which isn’t easy.
Green Bay, Minnesota, at Detroit, at Chicago isn’t easy.
Then it’s at Pittsburgh and Kansas City at home. These are two tough games.

The Pats schedule is rated the easiest because of the Jets, Bills, Dolphins being perceived as bad. That isn’t the Pats fault.

Thanks for the ‘here’s how the schedule is made tutorial’ I wasn’t aware of that.

The rock I live under gets poor reception.

Adding 1 or 2 more #1s from the NFC would help close the gap on your baked in playoff and a bye finish.

Or 2 more AFC 2s.

Or 1 and 1???

Don’t care.

Regardless...romance this schedule now for it’s going bye bye when we add 2 more and make it tougher to repeat at the top.

The NFLPA hates the owners they aren’t going to give them 18 games.
Their is going to be a tough negotiation in 2021.
The NFLPA is putting money into mutual funds so they have a war chest as close to a billion dollars they can have so their players will have money for the lockout.
Owners aren’t getting 18 games. Players aren’t going to roll over.

They will.

They don’t practice and they don’t play preseason games now, and they’ll get 224 more jobs plus IR.

Wait till they see the tv $$$.

20 & 0 will have a closet vote than 16 & 4.

The Steelers-Browns Week 1 game could be influenced by some wild weather

Good lord the Saints Defense is making Fitz look like Joe Montana today.

And of course I played the saints d today.

 

[Cusefan0307]

And of course I played the saints d today.

We were supposed to have a good defense this year for once, but if we can’t stop the Bucs i think we are in for another year of shootouts.

 

[Briancuse]

Blake bortles is so bad.

 

[Alsacs]

Tom Brady has no WRs and he is freaking throwing dimes.
