Great. You will no doubt have a chance to prove that your team is an all-time great in January. We'll see how it goes then. Until then, it's all just hot air....a specialty of yours.

Funny how the Donx get to start out almost every year with a flurry of home games and tough opponents almost always at home, too.
I'd also be they don't play many back to back road games. same as it ever was... When was the last time the same three teams that have ruled the AFC played the toughest schedule in the league...? |

Typical entitled NE dolt who refuses to see how things are exploited for "Terrific Tom". You would think the 2 conference games (Chiefs/Steelers) would pair the top teams on equal footing....nope...let's give NE 10 days and make KC travel. Payback for the opening day beat down. NFL knew this game was going to be crucial in play-off seeding...so let's not call any penalties either. Last edited by BlackOp; 10-19-2018 at 12:32 PM.. |

They could have given NE a different team after their semi-bye week..or scheduled that game on the road. Nope, this was a calculated effort. Since 2013...NE has had 5 out of 6 Thursday night games at home. Nothing to see here...they are 6-0. To add insult to injury...they scheduled KC to face two teams (Denver/NE) both on 10 days rest in a 3 game stretch. I'm curious if that has ever happened before...

I have seen and heard, and sorry, I do not have a link handy. I just know from experience. Agreed 100% the rub comes from how the NFL lays out the schedule. Do the Pats play home on TNF or the road, which the NFL controls. Do the pats play 4 playoff teams on the road or not, and so. The biggest gripe i have with things is when there is a key game like this last one and one guy gets some more time. So agree. A few more tidbits from the Pats past. I forget the year (it might of been '15), but late in the year the pats played three straight teams who had played TNF the week prior, so three teams with 10 days off each. So it kind of evens out, but that do not change the fact that is sucks when its your turn. |

On the other hand though if in the spring the NFL knows, or predicts, a certain game will have playoff seeding, especially near the top, then i whole hearty agree that the game should be scheduled midseason and no byes so both teams are in midseason form and no extra rest for either team. Can not agree more. |

You might of edited your post as i was replying. Teams really should have no more than say 2 opponents per year who have had more rest. There are only 16 TNF games so 32 teams and thus the NFL has only 32 games to spread out and should be able to do with giving no more than 2 games to a given team. And much less only spacing them 2 weeks apart. agree Alas, the Pats did have three straight TNF opponents, i think in '15 |

Another interesting factoid for 2018...Steelers/Chiefs are currently #1/2 in penalties. Patriots are #32.

I don’t need to change your opinion to show you are being disingenuous. The first two things you said as evidence fans weren’t rational proved to be accurate. The offense did whatever they wanted and the Patriots stood no chance against them and Mahomes has his way. The Patriots made one play against him. The same amount that our pathetic defense made against Brady. You can spin it however you want but when an offense scores 40 points and has 8.4 yards per play, yes they had their way and did whatever they wanted. You are then trying to claim fans calling for victory is irrational but that’s ridiculous, especially given the Chiefs could have easily won that game. So yes, trying to paint some picture of Chiefs fans being irrational or completely wrong and lying to themselves about this game is disingenuous, especially when your first two points you made, more than any others, are wrong and did happen exactly as predicted by Chiefs fans. |

You seem weirdly fascinated with this BRONCOS HAVE NEVER STARTED A SEASON WITH 3 OUT OF 4 ON THE ROAD!!!!?!?! nonsense. Have you checked to see if they ENDED the season with 3 out of 4 on the road? Wouldn't that be equally important? Actually, is it somehow harder to play on the road in September versus October? Why the **** are the first four games so ultra-critical? In fact, haven't many teams -- including Chiefs teams -- proven that going 3-0, 4-0 or even 5-0 to start the season doesn't guarantee playoff appearances, or success once you get there? Have you checked to see if the Broncos maybe didn't start 3 out of 4 on the road, but they did start, say, 2-2 at home on the road, with 2 road games to follow? So 4 out of 6 on the road. OH WAIT, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED IN 2015. But hang on, who the **** cares? Why the actual **** is this 3 out of 4 games on the road to start the season remotely important? Unless, of course, you're a whiny pussy looking to find something, anything, to use as a pathetic excuse for a conspiracy.

Stick to something you know, like washing Brady's balls, because you sure dont know dick about air temps and how they relate to oxygen content at high altitude. But like a typical big mouth chowd head, you think that you know it all.
