here is how the schedule works so u know. play 1 division in the nfc and 1 in the afc that rotates every year. we play our division. then we play the same teams in our conference that finished in the same rankings as we did in our division. giants 3rd in nfce. panthers 3rd in nfcs. then we play bears 3rd in nfc north and we play the nfc west this year. GOTS IT?

I did not know that's how it worked. I knew the rotated divisions but didn't know the other part. Can't believe I've never heard that before. Thanks.

I think a new rotation started in 2010 (so that East Coast teams didn't have road trips to both SD/OAK or SEA/SF in the same year.) That played into it cause that shouldn't happen. In a 3 year rotation, if you face the same team, you should at least play one of them at home.

it's been said quite a bit around here but keeps falling on deaf ears.
they started that a couple years back so all teams played each other. not sure when tho
started in 2002 and was an 8 year rotation providing each team with a chance to play every other team in the league at least twice, one home and one away. came with the realignment of the divisions in 2002.

as to how they decide who gets home field advantage in any given year, i saw it somewhere but i can't remember. i do know that it has been determined for a pretty good while.

good thing is that we get to face chicago here. i don't know if that's any better but if they get that offense straightened out i know i'd rather be playing the bears at home than the giants. you give cutler a better oline and a better receiver and that offense is going to be really good. he'll still be a punk who can be picked apart but i trust that happening here more than there.

giants...meh. not worried about that. they do have one RB that is going o be a concern, though...gartrell johnson. that kid is going to be fierce in the near future. we usually do a pretty decent job against the best RBs in the league, though.

    • I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best 
    • I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.
    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
