McBeane Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I got $20 on us getting the Patriots* at Gillette after their bye week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I got $20 on us getting the Patriots* at Gillette after their bye week. I hope so. We will be out of the playoffs by then but knocking the cheaters out of the playoffs at their place would be a VERY nice ending to the season for me.

pBills Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I thought he also said that there will be two games in Toronto this year and the Bills will be in both. May be wrong, hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall that that was discussed at their annual meeting - the idea being to inhibit teams from mailing it in (e.g. IND). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthICE Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I love it. Teams can still lose the division if they don't compete week 17. Hell I say week 16 and 17 need to be division matchups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richNjoisy Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 I recall that that was discussed at their annual meeting - the idea being to inhibit teams from mailing it in (e.g. IND). "We actually have 28 divisional games in those last three weeks, as opposed to 15 for the 2009 season, and all 16 of the final Week 17 games will be divisional games," Goodell said on "Mike & Mike in the Morning."

Again GOOD! Fans are sick of paying hard earned money to go to a stadium and see Payton Manning etal sitting on the bench eating hotdogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveRalph Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Again GOOD! Fans are sick of paying hard earned money to go to a stadium and see Payton Manning etal sitting on the bench eating hotdogs. If the Colts are 13-1, you can guarantee Peyton Manning is sitting on the end of the bench eating hotdogs the last two weeks, regardless of the opponent. Fans pay their hard earned money realizing that this is a distinct possibility at the end of the season. Other fans hope for these occurances so that they buy scalped tickets for $10 and take their four kids to an NFL football game, just to be in the stadium and have the experience. The day costs them $100 rather than $600. I do applaud the NFL for trying to maintain a competitive atmosphere where they put their best product on the field, and divisional games is a much better idea than docking draft picks or something like that.

Lv-Bills Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Again GOOD! Fans are sick of paying hard earned money to go to a stadium and see Payton Manning etal sitting on the bench eating hotdogs. Huh? So, if the Colts are 12-2 again, and the rest of their division is 9-5 like always, tell me again why Peyton Manning won't be eating hot dogs on the bench again?
