No it’s not a proven fact
its a proven fact that your heart will get shattered if you think a Wild Card game winner is going to win on the road the next weekend
can we get one game that isn’t garbagetime by the half this weekend?
Since the start of the 2003 season, West Coast teams have gone just 61-111 (35.5%) against East Coast teams. That seemingly reveals a significant advantage, but straight up wins and losses don’t provide a realistic measure of performance. Instead, we have focused on against the spread (ATS) records which indicate how well teams have performed against expectations
this is from an article written in 2016 so I'm not sure what the record is now but 50 games below .500 in 16 years is a proven fact

It probably makes s difference, but has nothing to do with the overall asswhipping they are taking
I agree. It has nothing to do with how bad they are getting beat but just the fact that in the playoffs they would make a west coast team play back to back weeks at 1pm eastern time

Waaaaaaaahhhh we had to play at 1pm
Dude, it's a proven fact, west coast teams don't play well when they have to travel out east because of the time difference. Last week they had the Colts vs Texans as the Saturday 4pm game when they could have made that Chargers vs Ravens. The Chargers had to Travel east to play the Ravens and then travel back west only to turn around and travel back east again. That's a lot to ask
-
The Chargers did kind of get shafted having to travel east for a 1pm game twice. Not saying that it would have made a huge difference but it's kind of messed up that the league did that to them in back to back weeks

That’s the problem and New England Ian not the greatest team of all time. They cheated and when Kraft and Goodell are gone this little empire crumbles. Wonder what happens to all those safe books in Vegas?
Vegas won't know what the hell to do

Sadly, I don't think Rivers is ever going to get to a Super Bowl

Or you build a better team and prepare and outplay them on game day
I know. It was a joke

The best way for everyone to beat the Patriots is to make them have to go 30 yards for a first down and the rest of the league still only has to go 10. Sounds fair
-
I would never want to punch an old man in the face but Robert Kraft is making me change my mind. I freaking hate him so much

I think next season everyone needs to start saying Brady isn't declining or he'll never decline. Maybe then the opposite will happen

Sure is. Ron Torbert works for the law firm that Kraft hired to build Gillette. And Putin has one of Kraft’s rings. Nothing to see here, move along citizen.

I figured the Pats would win this game, so I’m not surprised...however I fully expect them to lose next week to KC as they are a completely different team on the road
If only the Texans didn't crap the bed to lose the 2 seed. The Pats probably would have been playing in Houston today. Even though Houston obviously wasn't very good themselves. NE on the road makes them somewhat vulnerable

Looks like Rivers has to matvh score for score

Actually, the SuperBowl has little effect on me or most of my friends, certainly no more than any other Sunday of NFL games.
The only time it even would affect me would be if the Bills or my adopted home team were playing, as happened when I lived in DC in ‘82 and SF in ‘94, and obviously all 4 Bills games in the ‘90s. Even those 6 times, I never took Monday off, nor did I think I deserved to. If I thought I would have needed to, I would have scheduled a vacation day in advance.
.
You do you. If that's what you like to do that's fine. I put in for the day after the SB every year. I don't do it because of drinking and partying (I'm in my 30's so I don't even really care about getting plastered or drinking much anymore) and I don't do it because I feel like I "deserve" it. I do it because it just allows me to relax more and enjoy myself more knowing I can watch the game and that I don't have to rush out the door at any point during the game so I can get to bed in time to get up early enough the next day. It's just nicer. A lot of people seem to think by saying all this that I feel like everyone deserves the day off. I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying in my opinion due to the fact of how big the game is and the effect of lost revenue on employers we might as well get the day off. That's all I've been trying to say. I feel like a bunch of people just blew this out of proportion by calling me entitled. Which is ridiculous. They implied that I thought I was so much better than everyone else or that I hold football to some incredible high standard by thinking the day should be a holiday which is ridiculous. I get where they are coming from and I understand their reasoning and as much of a cool idea as I think it is, I don't ever expect it to happen.

No. Of course not. I assume, or at least hope that the OP is joking.
What would be next ? The day after the World Series?
Nationsl Holidays are to commemorate certain historic events. Winning a world championship, even the Red Sox in 2004, does not meet the standards.
It should, however, be a “use a vacation day”, or a “puke your guts out and call in sick day”.
.
As I stated before, this would not apply to the World Series or Stanley Cup or NBA Finals or any of those other sports big games in this country because those games are not as big as the Super Bowl. Those games don't get 100 million viewers in our country alone and those games don't have the effect that the day after the Super Bowl has on employers and all the billions of dollars in lost revenue from employees calling off or showing up late or being unproductive when they get to work. Those games don't compare to the effect of the Super Bowl

Uh Right. The idea would be to kill 2 preseason games which has been tossed around quite a bit and start the real season two weeks early. Now you're synched with MLK day, you have much happier players unions, and these grass fields people are trying to resurrect in the dead of winter will be at least a little less pure dirt by then.
Would solve the Monday morning absenteeism. West coast obviously doesn't count. And your point about Saturdays everyone going out and doing errands? Wha? First of all that's not a thing, even if it's what you do. I guarantee the super bowl won't be less watched if it's on a Saturday. Do you think the 4pm game this Saturday will be LESS seen than the Sunday 4pm? It won't. My friend's bar was half full last year during the superbowl, he said he did more business on average college playoff games on fridays and saturdays than the superbowl.
It's dumb, and they'll eventually change it. Once thing about the league is just about every good idea comes around eventually.
How about this: Last year 2018 an estimated 1.5 million Americans chose not to go to work on the Monday after the Super Bowl, while another 4.4 million came in late, according to a study conducted by the Workforce Institute at Kronos.
Estimated $3 billion cost for employers.
So even though YOU go to work, it's a real issue. And the point of this thread.
Thank you. Everyone just assumes this is about "entitled" people that want to get "hammered" and get a day off for it. People have been misunderstanding what I have been trying to say this whole time

We cook together and then play a lot of board games. Football is on in the background.
We just have a fundamentally different view of what should constitute a national holiday. I think they should be reserved for events that truly have had a historical influence on the nation. You think a football game should be recognized as such, and it seems more so people get a day off after drinking. That to me is hardly a reason to call for a national holiday.
Do you think a game should be cause for a national holiday?
I'm all for the Holidays that truely mean something to our nation. It's important. I'm also for Election Day and even maybe a Rememberence Day for the people that lost their lives on 9/11. I also think an event that has 100 million viewers in our country alone that is the nations biggest sporting event also deserves some recognition as far as being a holiday. Yeah it's a sporting event but it's huge. Very few things get 100 million people watching it. I understand your view points believe me and I agree. I see nothing wrong with one extra holiday for it

No I don't actually. But you just continue to assume the rest of the world is just like you.
Ok, you did say that you do love football so it was only natural to think that you watched the games as well. Football, truthfully probably shouldn't even be played on Thanksgiving honestly

How about just pulling in the game start to 4?
You can can be in bed by 9.
Also, If you can’t watch football without getting hammered you are probably already used to working mondays hungover.
Im sure most upplanned call ins are for the champs fans, and that’s ok!
I don't get hammered watching the Super Bowl but I do go to Super Bowl parties and do enjoy not having to work the next day. It makes it so much nicer. But I also find it hard to believe that it's only fans of the two teams representing in the Super Bowl that call off. The one article said 16 million people. I don't think that's only fans of the representing teams

Or you could just move the game to Saturday and fix the ‘problem’ at no cost to anyone.
According to this article and other articles I found online the day after the Super Bowl is a problem for employers because they lose a ton of money from workers being unproductive or calling off. So you don't have to put the word problem in quotation marks because it does exist. However, I would support a Saturday Superbowl if they ever decided to do it

My family gives thanks for the blessings bestowed upon us. You celebrate football. I guess we have different priorities.
I do the same but I also spend the whole day watching the football games which I'm sure you do as well

I'm saying national holidays should be reserved for things of inmportance to the nation. Thanksgiving for example is a national holiday, celebrating the first arrival of our ancestors. Not military related but of obvious importance to our country historically. Or Labor Day, etc.
I like football as much as the next guy, but to elevate a football game to such a level seems just absurd.
Yet how do we celebrate Thanksgiving every year? By watching 12 hours of football "games" and stuffing our faces instead of celebrating it for it's intended purpose

No. That's why you have floating holidays and vacation. Most Americans don't watch, much less over indulge during it.
No offense to the OP, but the idea makes no sense.
Fixed it for you. The BIGGEST SPORTING EVENT IN THE WORLD. is the world cup final.
Ok so after looking the World Cup is watched more than the Super Bowl. But the Super Bowl is definitely our biggest game and it's not even close.

AFC Divisional Playoffs: Chargers at Pats* 1:05pm CBS
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
How about the Giants D daring us to run at them since the first play of the game by playing with only 2 Dlineman and the Bills just doing nothing but passing the ball constantly? Belichick said himself he prayed that we didn't run on them from the start because it would have been bad. Thurman Thomas had only 15 carries and ran for like 140 yards. If the Bills weren't stubborn and ran the ball more like they should have then we may have a Super Bowl trophy in Buffalo
