They gave en banc a shot because they had nothing to lose, but I think they were focused on the USSC once he arrived.
And as much of a long shot as a USSC appeal is, if you go strictly by numbers, it is actually a better chance than en banc ever was.
Why in the world would you want the Patriots to essentially throw in the towel on the entire season, one of the few that Brady has remaining??!?!?
Seriously, some people in here need to put their brains in gear, as evidenced above.
It's a moronic suggestion, and if you think the only consequences of forfeiting 4 games would simply be an 0-4 record, then your cognitive acuity is non-existent.Although it would be considerably more difficult, the Pats could still win the AFCE or get a wild card birth, so it's not quite throwing in the towel. Given their track record, the Pat's would most likely be 9-7 at the end of the season. The Pats could end up at 0-4 under Jimmy G anyway.
Although this would be pretty extreme, besides a superbowl win, it's really the only way the Pats can fight back. The NFL won't change until their behavior starts affecting their bottom line.
You are free to disagree, and that is a certainly a rational perspective. That said, I find your perspective on my cognitive acuity amusing.
I know Kraft won't do it, but there is already a process in place. If a team refuses to play, the penalty is a loss recorded as 2-0.Here we go again with the forfeit talk.
If they are stupid enough to try a stunt like that maybe you want to see Goodell take away our entire draft until the next decade and ban Belichick permanently from the league.
It's absurd and not gonna happen.
WTF are you talking about? I want him to bring this to the USSC and then when all that's done, file a defamation lawsuit.So you rather he take the suspension and basically be admitting he's guilty.
Forfeiting the 1st 4 games of the season would be throwing the towel in on the entire season. It is a moronic suggestion on too many levels to count.Goodell wouldn't take all our picks. If he really is for the league he wouldn't let the season be tanked

As has already been pointed out, there are rules and a penalty in place for teams refusing to play.Not only that, I would think the other owners would actually take away the entire franchise. I am sure the league contract would be breached by such action.
Yes, I know what the rules are, and your suggestion remains a moronic one on too many levels to count.Did you even look at the rules about it before forming an opinion? I did. So much for your measures of cognitive acuity.
it would surprise me......considering the judges weren't supposed to give a **** about the whole PSI end of it
The legal liability would be absolutely incalculable.Not only that, I would think the other owners would actually take away the entire franchise. I am sure the league contract would be breached by such action.

Playing without Brady will be a challenge BB will relish and it will invigorate him as he molds another young QB... I predict 3-1 if JG is under center...WTF are you talking about? I want him to bring this to the USSC and then when all that's done, file a defamation lawsuit.
