cryptique Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Peter King said in his column today (part of which discussed the Taylor deal) not to be surprised if Shockey ends still ends up with the Saints. I don't think he expected it to happen this quickly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Well, best of luck to him. Giants are Eli's team now, and they really took off last year after Shockey broke his leg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Now the Giants have a better chance of repeating now that only one ego is on the team (Buress's). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H-Bomb Henry Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'm glad the NFL decided to give the Patriots the easiest schedule. Here's hoping for another 18-1 season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oil Can Boyd Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'm glad the NFL decided to give the Patriots the easiest schedule. Here's hoping for another 18-1 season.I will freely admit that I don't follow the machinations of NFL schedule-making but how much say does the NFL have in it? Isn't it a somewhat prescribed schedule of what divisions play each other in each year, particularly AFC v. NFC? Or do they only decide those match-ups one year at a time? And don't the Dolphins, Jets, and Bills have the same schedule as the Patriots (except that they have to play the Patriots)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cousin Tupelo Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 No one ever accused Brett Fav-ruh of being a genius, but this gives a reading better than results from a Wonderlic Test. Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported today that the evidence of tampering against the Vikings comes from Favre himself. "Favre had continued to use his Packers-issued cell phone. When the Packers checked his phone log, there were repeated calls to (Vikings) coach Brad Childress and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And don't the Dolphins, Jets, and Bills have the same schedule as the Patriots (except that they have to play the Patriots)? From Wikipedia: Currently, each team's 16-game regular season schedule is set using a pre-determined formula: * Each team plays the other three teams in their division twice: once at home, and once on the road (six games).* Each team plays the four teams from another division within its own conference once on a rotating three-year cycle: two at home, and two on the road (four games).* Each team plays the four teams from a division in the other conference once on a rotating four-year cycle: two at home, and two on the road (four games).* Each team plays once against the other teams in its conference that finished in the same place in their own divisions as themselves, not counting the division they were already scheduled to play: one at home, one on the road (two games).

H-Bomb Henry Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Favre to the Jets? Say it is so...something needs to liven this laughingstock of a division up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Favre to the Jets would be great for the division, troublesome for the Pats...but they'd still beat 'em Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Favre to the Jets would be great for the division, troublesome for the Pats...but they'd still beat 'em Frankly the only team that couldn't beat the Jets in the AFC-East with (or without) Favre would be the Dolphins...which doesn't say much. It's going to make the division more interesting but it's not going to shake the division up greatly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ryann7739 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Why must the Pats play the Colts every year? I know the scheduling format makes it that way, but I get tired of it every year cause there's always way too much hype. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
