HoboRocket Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 1 hour ago, Danger said: The outrage is taking away the homefield advantage parity we're supposed to have with the rest of the NFC. And it's way more than 4 hours friend. It's roughly 11 hours of flying opposed to zero, and that's IF you can get a direct flight. The Schedule makers always shaft the eagles by giving us less rest than our opponents and we hardly ever start or finish the season at home. The schedule is rough. It happens. The Cardinals have had a lot of terrible 4th place schedules recently. This upcoming season, they have 10 games against teams that were over .500 last year. The other 7 opponents include the Jets (with Aaron Rodgers) Chargers (with Jim Harbaugh), Bears (with Caleb Williams), Vikings (with Kirk Cousins back), Commanders (with either Drake Maye or Jayden Daniels), Patriots (with the other one), and Panthers (yay!). There are some plausible scenarios where the Cardinals get better and still finish with only 2 or 3 wins next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure about the rest thing, but i doubt the starting or finishing at home is true. 1st game at home: 2014, 2016, 2018, 2019 Last game at home: 2016, 2017, 2020, 2021, 2022 Probably tracks pretty similar to all teams when looked at over a long enough sample Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It balances out to around 50% (+/- a game or so) of 1st/ last game will be home or away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabbs4u Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I'm more pissed about 2 straight season's with basically 9 away games rather then week 1 not being at Home. I guess not everyone can be Jerry Jones and dictate what his team Will and Won't do. 👌 https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/cowboys-make-nfl-scheduling-demand-jerry-jones-says-team-only-willing-to-host-international-games-in-one-city/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s amazing if you can stay in places like Ipanema beach and have a nice secure apartment. Great weather all year, great food, wildlife is unmatched, atmosphere is fun, cheap as hell, obvious comment about how certain people look… if not, you’re probably guaranteed to be the victim of a crime at some point. Muggings are constantly happening, police are corrupt in some areas, the services and infrastructure simply aren’t there in places (no trash collection for example). Overall, it is a fantastic country but with dark sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, as you stated, how man Brazilians can actually afford to go to an NFL game? Probably not a lot I'd guess. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but as you said, a vast majority of their population exists in poverty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just from the likes on the first quote and these other two....... it just shows me y'all just don't realize how popular the NFL is in Brazil. COUNTRY NUMBER OF SELF-DESCRIBED NFL FANS Mexico 23.3 million Brazil 19.7 million Canada 7.21 million South Korea 6.72 million Germany 6.66 million United Kingdom 5.73 million Spain 3.56 million Saudi Arabia 3.12 million Australia 2.64 million Argentina 2.06 million If you're on Twitter enough and look in the replies you'll see a lot of Brazilian NFL accounts like just type in "Packers Brasil" into the search bar and you'll get a bunch of results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would the NFL not guarantee #1 vs #7 for the fans rather then the 27th ranked Browns? Eagles having 9 road gms again, sounds about right.

I’m going to laugh if the NFL cares about fans in other countries who don’t have NFL franchises vs fans in this country who do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
