Ah, my bad. I heard it from someone else. I should've verified it.

It won't be much of an issue. Jetlag is only a problem when you fly to different continents where there is a twelve hour difference or so (it screws up your sleep schedule).

Indoor teams playing on the road in winter elements is always a consideration, but travel is not.

Jetlag is an excuse fans of teams use to justify a loss, you find a coach or player ever using it as an excuse.

I just know (not so much under Arians (4-3)) the Cardinals have a history of playing like crap on the east coast.

Stats are always fun.

They also have a better record away this year than they do at home.

And only looking at games when traveling to the Eastern time zone they are 2-1.

If you want to look at their record against teams when they travel East at all you will see that regardless of whatever history you are referring to it certainly isn't true this year.

No need for the elitist attitude. Your point would've been just as valid without the opening punchline.

Wasn't intended to be an offending post and I'm sorry if you took it that way.

You were the one who kept throwing out stats to try and prove your argument that traveling east makes teams worse which is factually incorrect.

It's merely an excuse.
