Since 2001, if we throw out every game the Pats played in their division, the Pats record was still 89-31 (.742). Even if the Pats NEVER played the lowly Bills, Jets, and Dolphins even once all those years, their average season would have been 12-4 playing against the rest of the NFL.
That's why they play the games. The Pats scored 75 points more than any other team last year. If you watched their games last year, Lloyd had a ton of catches where he ran a simple sideline route, caught the ball, and fell down or stepped out of bounds. Similar to what they had Branch doing...
If you stop and think about it, this seems to make sense for both sides. In the past 15 years, the only WR that the Pats drafted that amounted to much overall was Deion Branch. The Steelers, though, drafted Hines Ward, Plaxico Burress, Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown, etc. BB has said he much...
I believe the league currently does not allow rebroadcast of entire games. Apparently to them it cheapens the telecast of a live game by showing it over again at any point in the future. Obviously they could change their minds on that, but as things stand now I don't think a team could replay...
In the future, what would the likelihood of success be for an NFL franchise to try to opt out of the revenue sharing model for tv revenue and instead creating their own network to broadcast their games? For example, Jerry Jones decides that he could make way more money creating The Cowboys...
I think one of the issues for the Pats (and many other teams) is that they were not healthy heading into the post season and/or had key guys get hurt at the end of the year without enough time to get used to playing without those players. They obviously have not been able to score at will in...
What would you project their record to be? I have a hard time seeing them winning fewer than 12 games. They have mostly a young team that is improving and they've averaged 13 wins a year the past 3 seasons.
