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

I have never understood that mindset.

It just sounds like mindless bravado.

If you told me that all twelve teams we play next season would have Stephen Hawking dropping back to pass, I would laugh and take it.

But there would still be some person bitter that they could not stomp them at "full strength".

Right. Championships are never remembered for who didn't play in them.

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.

I see they failed to mentioned that there is a great possibility that his suspension will probably get reduced.

This is stupid. ...how about teams that have to face Hardy. Those are the breaks of the schedule

To be fair, the Eagles were playing with a back-up QB much of last year too, and the Cowboys got to face that back-up in the first match-up. Not defending Philly, but just laying out facts.

Oh your saying kinda like Arizona getting Weeden which cost us 13-3 with best record in NFL huh

I guess this idiot just thinks New England is gonna sweep the NFC East next season. Dallas was gonna beat New England regardless if Brady plays or not. We will definitely be favored in that game as long as Romo is healthy.

Are we talking with or without the wheelchair? Those motorized ones are heavy so he might be hard to tackle.

What's unfair is the rest of the NFC East has to play Dallas twice, and the Cowboys don't.

The clown who wrote this needs to understand **** happens and in this case Brady gave himself the enema.

What does that have to do with the Eagle's situation last year?

 

[sbark]

Why don't they then push for tony r. to have to sit out the pats game to be "equal"? Running hard toward Harrison bergeron

Do I really have to explain it? Seriously

 

[Frozen700]

Can't believe they are actually crying about this. Sad

Yes, and I can think of some other custumized and chosen words, but I don't think they are very gentleman-like, nor allowed on this site.
