|Tigers Johnson| Posted December 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 New England Patriots TV update: Week 17 game against Buffalo Bills moved to 4:25 p.m. By Nick Underhill, MassLive.com Follow on Twitter on December 22, 2013 at 10:22 PM, updated December 23, 2013 at 10:46 AM The New England Patriots' regular-season finale against the Buffalo has been flexed to a later time. Originally scheduled to take place at 1 p.m., the game will now instead kickoff at 4:25 p.m. Depending on the outcome of earlier games, the contest may determine if New England will be the AFC's No. 2 seed. The Denver Broncos also play against the Oakland Raiders at 4:25. If Denver loses that game and the Patriots win, New England would claim the No. 1 seed.

Rumble In the Jungle Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I think it is bullshit. They should play at the same time we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Same time as Denver, so there is no possible way they can rest starters, nor can Denver. Denver game has to be at 4:25 because its on the west coast. Keeps us at the same time as Indy, so we neither of our teams can rest starters.

Exactly, this means both teams have to play to win as they have the one seed at stake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumble In the Jungle Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Is anyone really worried about the Broncos losing to the raiders? lol or the Bills beating the Patriots in NE. Our only chance came and we didn't take care of it when Miami handed us an early Christmas gift and we threw it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know.  And the Browns had them dead to rights in New England. Being a division opponent, I think the Bills have just a good a shot as anyone to pull off a win. Do I think it will happen? No. But it's certainly possible.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 It was flexed because they're still trying for a #1 seed and they didn't want Denver resting their starters, which they would have if NE lost in the early game.

alleycat Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Been really slow around here and I was up and bored so I stooped to the desperate level of visiting the bengals.com boards - and of course found a really interesting link. http://www.nflpenalties.com/ According to this site, our opponents are penalized less than any other team in the league when we play them. We are dead last in this category with 63 "Beneficiary Penalties" called. Who's the first? Baltimore Ravens, with 116, or nearly 2X. You'd think that, given that we play the same teams... Moreover, the author of the site creates another interesting metric further down, whereby he suggests that teams with better offenses and defenses should have higher beneficiary penalties (a killer D means their offense holds more, etc.). Despite that we have a top 10 offense, we are 31st there, and our top 5 defense gets us rated... dead last. The exact opposite of what it should be. Yeah, yeah, yeah, foil hat and all of that, but it's hard to ignore all of the perennial NFL favorites that are the top beneficiaries of these calls... Just goes to show, whether there is intention or not, if you want to beat the best, you have to do more than play good enough to win. You also have to play good enough to account for bias, however conscious or not it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dub Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Despite that we have a top 10 offense, we are 31st there, and our top 5 defense gets us rated... dead last. The exact opposite of what it should be. I don't see how simple bias can account for that, not unless the entirety of NFL officiating somehow thinks the Bengals are the worst team in the league.

|High School Harry| Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I think it is bullshit. They should play at the same time we do. They're playing later because Marsha Brady needs her beauty sleep and more people can see her, the darling of the NFL, at the later time. What a prima dona pussy.

Le Tigre Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Since this is "Decision Sunday", it would be interesting to check that matrix against all of the "Decision" games and see the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
