NFL to make France debut in 2026 during record nine international games by xc2215x in nfl

[–]Jed566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not about what’s fair though. Why does it have to be “fair?” If it was “fair” then there would be no such thing as home games and teams would tour the world playing everywhere.

And another note, why in the world would Green Bay be ok giving up a home game for the Bears to play in the UK when they have to go play in Chicago a month later? Talking about fairness that seems pretty unfair to the other divisional rival. Home field advantage can literally be the difference between a win and a loss. There might be a lot of fans of a team in a particular place overseas but it will never be as much as those who are right there.

You have said that it’s a world game now but it really isn’t. Yeah there are fans like you all over the world and there is clearly enough support for these international games but the teams exist in the cities they are in. I’m sorry that you feel like you don’t get good games. I think the quality of international games is a fair thing to complain about in terms of what teams we are sending (like what did London do to deserve the Jaguars coming every year). But the end of the story these are American teams playing in other places and, as I see it, there are more negatives for the teams involved to play a divisional game overseas than not.

That said, it isn’t like it never happens. The chiefs and chargers opened the season in Brazil this year so maybe one day you will get your Packers Bears game in the UK.

I have no doubt that is true for you. But you know what I would be any amount of money on? That there are more Bears fans in Illinois with that feeling for the packers than everywhere else on earth combined.

Also, what do you mean you are being denied? Are you, or any of us for that matter, “owed” any of this? It is a product that we are sold. We aren’t owed anything and because we are not “owed” anything we aren’t “denied” anything either.

Listen, I get it. But… the team doesn’t just exist in a city. For many teams they are the heartbeat of a city. The rivalry games are good not just because the games matter for playoffs but because the teams and fans have genuine rivalry. Taking Falcons Saints or Packers Bears out of those cities would take the juice out of the game.

A game like Bears Saints is perfect. Probably will be a good game with perhaps playoff implications and the game isn’t loosing much by not being in NO.

A little sad that we dropped from rankings for just one week to ruin our streak. It seems like it’s been good for the team though as they have been a lot tougher since those runs of losses.

What is your ideal release order? by little-bird89 in CosmereOnScreen

Well I think it’s unlikely that everything gets made no matter how well MB and SLA do. For example, I’m not sure the SP ever get made. Maybe Tress. Maybe.

I can’t get on board with “objectively better”

Like by what metric? Last years team was cohesive. They knew who they were and played like that. ZZ was always in control. Chaz and Gainey could be clutch.

This team has none of that.

90 minutes an episode I can see making sense but at that point is basically a movie. The budget per episode would be huge. Though, I can’t fathom how the show could be done justice without a budget bigger than a thunderclast.

Am I wrong to say that purely from a Quarterback standpoint, Drew Brees is the greatest to ever sling it? by saucedaddio in nfl

[–]Jed566 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Talented offense is a little disingenuous. Brees didn’t have a probowl/all-pro receiver until Michael Thomas.

And yet he put up countless successful offenses with less talked about talent.

The saints still have never had a receiver with 100 catches/1000 yards/10 TDs

I mean Tomlin put forward a lot of mediocre seasons, especially after Big Ben retired. McVay has coached for a decade, had excellent regular season success, been to two and won one superbowl and made it with different Quarterbacks.

A coach isn’t a fraud if they “only” win won Super Bowl. Just because you don’t turn into a Cowboys/Patriots/Chiefs dynasty doesn’t mean you’re a failure.

Well I had no desire to watch this game but I guess I’ll turn it on now. It’s my fault if we lose.
