ESPN NFCE Eagles Blogger: Brady's suspension unfair to rest of the NFCE

[viman96]

Phil Sheridan blogs for ESPN NFCE Philadelphia Eagles. In the article below he attempts (IMO whines) about how unfair it is the Cowboys will not have to face Brady but the rest of the division will.

PHILADELPHIA -- The debate in New England and elsewhere is whether Tom Brady's suspension is fair and what impact it will have on the AFC East race.

But what about the NFC East? The two divisions match up this year, which means each of the four teams in the AFC East plays each of the four teams in the NFC East during the season. The Dallas Cowboys, the defending NFC East champions, are scheduled to host the Patriots on Oct. 11.

That will be the fourth and final game of Brady’s suspension. There’s no getting around it. Brady’s absence gives the Cowboys a huge advantage in that game. And since the other three NFC East teams will have to play the Patriots with Brady, that gives Dallas a huge advantage in the NFC East race, as well.

Blah blah blah...

So the impact on the NFC East figures to be greater than the impact on the AFC East, even with Brady being unavailable for four games. The Patriots will likely be favored in two to three of those games: against Buffalo, Jacksonville and possibly Pittsburgh. Without Brady, they will likely be underdogs against Dallas.

Blah blah blah...

This year, thanks to the NFL, the Cowboys catch a break when they play the Patriots. The Eagles very likely catch a beating.

We'll give them Tom Brady back, if they'll give us Greg Hardy for all the NFC East games he'll miss.

What a baby.

Pretty immaterial, though. Brady will be on the field in Dallas.

 

[Roadtrip635]

Philly fans starting their excuses earlier than normal this season!

 

[wileedog]

Tell you what Philly, we're willing to repeal the Brady suspension if we can also undo Hardy's suspension.

Deal?

 

[CrownCowboy]

Instead of worrying about what we will be doing and who we will be facing, he ought to worry more about who will be playing quarterback for them after Bradford tears his knee up again in week 1. If he even makes it to week 1.

 

[BAZ]

What a whiney little *****.

 

[dragon_mikal]

If there is one thing that can unite this board it's the universal contempt for all things Eagles.

I see he's not complaining about the Hardy suspension, though. What a joke, lol.

 

[Derekmtl85]

I have to say, that makes him look like a whiny little kid.

 

[Questfor6]

They'd lose to Garrapolo too....

Boo-freaking-hoo.

 

[StarBoyz83]

He wont miss the dallas game so this is a moot point.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Don't worry little Philidelphia Pollyanna...Capt Buttchin will get his appeal heard and the suspension reduced a game or two (minimum) and he will be playing the Cowboys.

 

[Blackspider214]

You mean like advantage the Eagles had last year playing all those backup QBs for that stretch of games? Or how about the first time we met, we were coming off a SNF road game?

They are idiots.
