That's cool. Wasn't trying to say anything with that. Just thought that vine was funny.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Anyone know why the Lions plays the cardinals every year? I know its been going awhile now and thought it was odd to play the same non divisional every year.

Anyway huge game for both teams, can't wait

We either play the West or finish in the same spot in our divisions. Why we've been in Arizona the last three times? NFL is just weird that way, much like Seattle/Carolina as of late.

This is the year we break the streak! (maybe)

Teams play every team from a rotating division and the team that finished in the same place in the standings from the other two divisions.

I've never been able to figure out how the location is decided but I believe it simply has to do with logistics of the rest of each teams schedule.


It's been the same thing with the Broncos and Patriots since Manning came to Denver.

Home/Away in the division vs division games rotate as well.....So teams are guaranteed to play every other team in thier confernece once every 3 years, and host each team once every 6 years. And the same applies to all teams from the other conference every 4 and 8 years respectively.

I am not sure how they determine Home/Away of the 2 inter division games vs. opponents that finished in the same place in the standings. My guess is that it rotates as well....one year is 1st East at 1st West, next year would be 1st West at 1st East.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Because I am a loser, I looked at past schedules and standings to try to see how the interdivisional position games work with home vs away. Since divisions already have their own rotation to play each other once every 3 years, the positional rotatations apply for 2 years in between. And it appears that one division will host the other for those two years consecutive, and then it flips. So as an example, I have 1st place for the NFC East vs NFC North. In '08 and '09, the North Hosted. '10 was the full divisional matchups which trumps the positionals. '11 and '12 East hosts. '14 and '15 back to the North. I am such a loser.

2007 Standings 1st Place: Dallas/Green Bay
2008 Dallas At Green Bay

2008 Standings 1st Place: NYG/Minnesota
2009 NYG at Minnesota

2009 Standings 1st Place: Phili/Minnesota
2010 ***NFC East vs. NFC North***

2010 Standings 1st Place: Phili/Chicago
2011 Chicago at Philadelphia

2011 Standings 1st Place: NYG/Green Bay
2012 GB at NYG

2012 Standings 1st Place: Washington/Green Bay
2013 ***NFC East vs. NFC North***

2013 Standings 1st Place: PHili/Green Bay
2014 Phili At GB

Re: NFL Off Topic

Good read but no mention of how or why calls are still blown with all this "oversight". IMO only tells one side of the story. Still a good read.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Me and my dad was watching the Randy Moss 30 for 30 and he says Randy Moss could have been even better then what he was. Says that his attitude held him back. Moss greatest days, besides his NE days, came while I was kid so it was easy to amaze me, as I believe he was the best WR of my generation. Does anyone else think that Moss didn't live up to his full potential?

Re: NFL Off Topic

I don't know about his attitude keeping him from being better than what he was. It's not like he was a bum or something like this. He was amazing and made a very good case for himself to be considered the best ever with what he did in his career. Being a more mature guy wasn't going make his talent any better than it already was.
