I really like the division vs. division set up in the new schedule. Steeler fans hating the Cowboys until Sunday then rooting for them seven days later. ---

The Browns are 0-10 on the year and 461-461-10 in the history of their NFL regular season. The franchise has never been under .500, but that is about to change thanks to a decade and a half of ineptitude. ---

The franchise has never been under .500, but that is about to change thanks to a decade and a half of ineptitude. The poor Browns. Version 2.0 of this team has had only 2 winning seasons in its 18 seasons of existence, and is 87-179 (.327). They keep cleaning house, and they’re on their second owner, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. ---

Wow are the Packers playing poorly. The offence finally gets a spark and gets a field goal (I guess that is better than going for it and missing) The defense finally gets a punt, and the Packers mess it up… (I’ve stopped watching – I may tune in in an hour just in case of a miracle but am not hopeful) Brian ---

> [@kidchameleon](#): > > I really like the division vs. division set up in the new schedule. Steeler fans hating the Cowboys until Sunday then rooting for them seven days later. I think they have been doing that for years or decades. There is a rotation for all the teams in a division: [ul] [li]home and road games within the division (6 games)[/li][li]each team in one other set division in the conference (4 games)[/li][li]each team in a set division in the other conference (4 games)[/li][li]one team in each other conference division, based on the same division ranking (2 games)[/li][/ul] The division match-ups rotate regularly, so that each team is guaranteed to play every other team in the conference over the course of three years and every other team in the league over the course of four years. You can determine 14 of 16 matchups for a team years in advance just by looking at the rotations. The only variation are those two ranking-based games. ---

They’re posting things on FB from the stadium along the lines of, “WTF? Is this the 1975 Packers?” A couple friends of mine went to that game, too. She was commenting recently on how badly the Packers perform on the rare occasions that she spends all her savings on tickets to a game. For example, the year the Packers won the Superbowl? My friends attended the only game the Packers lost all season. ---

I wasn’t able to watch it, but I’m looking at a summary of the Cowboys-Steelers game. It reports a total of 6 missed extra points (all were 2-pt conversion attempts). Included were 4 straight in the final quarter. I imagine it’s been some time since this last happened. Anyone know when? ---

Thanks for nothing, Panthers and Saints. Was looking like both would hand out some losses to the Raiders’ division opponents, then the blocked XP and Benjamin fumble happened within minutes of each other. Bah. ---

Last year, New Orleans blocked a PAT and ran the ball back for 2, but it made little or no difference in the outcome; this year, they gave up 2 on a blocked PAT runback, but those 2 pts were the difference in the game. Both times in the superdome. ---

Lots of great games this weekend, but the best was the Seahawks’ victory over the Patriots! ---

The Panthers must have been studying tapes on how to give away games. 6 more wins 7 games to go, and we have to play the Saints, Raiders, Seahawks, Chargers, Redskins, Falcons and Buccaneers. I just don’t see us winning 6 of those 7 games this year :(. I really thought we had a chance for our first ever back-to-back winning seasons.
