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.

      2024 College Football Thread

      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.

      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.

      I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
