Cause your team isn't better than the Eagles.

Saw that edit!

I just remembered how we gave them Agent Randle to sabotage their offense so I changed it. Then again they somehow sabotage our offense ever time we play them so it could go either way.

Ah yes the time of the year where everyone looks at their schedule and goes "yep we can easily win 11-12 games"

That being said the Giants will go 10-6 and win the NFC East. We'll beat the Steelers and Vikings yet lose to the Saints and Lions.

Already marking an L for the traditional "primetime road game against the Eagles in which the Giants no matter in what current state of their season never ever in a million years show up" game

I don't care that much about yards.

We got turnovers, got off the field and often limited teams to FGs. We are stacked on offense and can legit put up 30 on anyone. Our defense is good enough to defend that and often helps to give the offense the ball or put us in position to win.

I am worried about a drop off next year though. Not sure where our pass rush is going to come from...

Turnovers are a fickle thing. Cowboys went from first in 2014 to last in 2015 with the same defense basically. It's a lot of luck

Eagles schedule sucks. Week 4 bye, Seattle, GB, and Cincy all in a row, and we play three teams right after their bye week. Guessing Doug's going to get 8-8 for his first season

I kind of think this schedule sucks. Steelers playing Turkey Night, Xmas and New Years...bah humbug. I have too much family shit going on at those times. And they kick the season off with a Stuper Bore 50 rematch with Scam going up against who? Butt Fumble? Good lord.

Don't complain.

Football brings the family together!

I love watching football with my family. I also like watching it with strangers.

The only people I don't want to watch football with is Bungle and Raven fans (I have a fear or being stabbed in the back). I wouldn't want to be in the same room with Pats fans let alone watch a game with them! But other than these exceptions football is the best!

I just saw the pictures of the damage Johnny Football caused in that house. Beyond the drugs they left, it just looks like they made a mess. I don't see where the $32,000 is coming form.

That's just it, nobody in my immediate family watches football. The only one that did was my dad, and he passed away 9 years ago. My girlfriend will if we are out at a bar, but not on the holidays. Let's see, Thanksgiving she'll just be obsessing over black friday shopping. And Xmas and New Years she'll be figuring out if she, or we, are going to her mom's in VA or if her mom will be coming up here with her miserable bitch dog to disrupt everything.

Bust out the nachos, burgers and laptop and watch it with GAF.

Speaking of football I really want all the bad things in the world to happen to Burfect. Hopefully the thuggery comes from Baltimore for payback instead of the Steelers.

I like our schedule. We get one game vs. the Bungles without Burfict playing, which means half our offense should at least make it to the rematch later in the season. We get the Pats, Chiefs and Cowboys at home, all teams that we've struggled with, so having them at home is helpful.

It does suck that we're playing on holidays, because it's distracting.

That said, we're going 19-0 baby! Woo!

Probably 12-4 but still get that 7th ring.

Not sure if out there but source tells me @Eagles were runner-up to @RamsNFL for trade with @Titans for No. 1 pick @NFLonFOX @SiriusXMNFL
— Alex Marvez (@alexmarvez) April 14, 2016
Sources says Rams gave package they did because of belief Titans were ready to pull the trigger on a deal with the Eagles.

SOS is a worthless stat. it doesnt take into account Free Agency the draft and previous years injuries that all attribute to a teams success in the new season. A teams SOS changes on a week to week basis in NFL..

The Panthers are better than every single team on their schedule. Yes that includes Denver and Seattle.

Luck is bullshit tho so they'll go 12-4.

#notevenkasingrightnow

EDIT: Actually I'm gonna roll that back. I think the Cardinals are the single most talented team in the NFL and its not the playoffs so Palmer will actually play well.

Yeah, the overall schedule itself isn't bad. Certainly in terms of travel, farthest they go is what, Florida? I just like to gripe about things that cause me personal dissatisfaction because I'm old.

It's only kinda worthless. Depends how many teams are consistent year over year.

Besides, you have to use some kind of baseline to predict records.

Jets and Browns got pooped on by the schedule.

Mark Sessler made the point that by the time the Browns home stretch really starts (7 out of 9 on road I think, with two at home being tough teams) they will be 2-7 or 1-8 and nobody will buy tickets

If Todd Gurley and others have taught us anything, is that injuries mean jack. This dude looks like the best player in the whole draft to me. When he was at UCLA he looked like a Pro playing against high school kids. He's the closest thing I've seen to Lawrence Taylor and Derrick Thomas. It's difficult not to get hyped on this kid.

I don't see him slipping past the Jaguars at #5 fam, sorry.

Yeah I know ;_; maybe all these trade rumors are true and Howie is trying to move up to #2. Hopefully if they do move up it's not for a QB

Looking at the 2016 schedule one thing keeps popping in my mind: 5 freaking prime time games. Why? Texans are just not good in prime time.
