Well Peyton does have a point here guys, albeit it looks like he is complaining . . . sometimes it takes a top player to make a statement to have the NFL take notice . . . it one of fair competition among the league and with only 16 games the NFL needs to be mindful of this point . . .
now that we have more TNF moving forward the NFL should avoid this situation . . . it is really no different than the concept of teams who have to travel for a MNF get a home game the following week as the team loses a day half with travel and the game a day later . . .
Similarly if opponent is going to get 12 days rest, which you can't avoid as every week two teams will be playing an opponent with 12 days rest as there is more TNF, the NFL can make sure that these two teams do not play on SNF or MNF . . . so it will be 7 v 12 as opposed to 6 v 12 . . . there is nothing you can do about the 12 but you can fix the 6 . . . it may of been an accident by the NFL . . .
interesting enough, and I do think the NFL stuck it to us in 2008, after our 16-0 season when the NFL gave us a opponent three straight times who had played TNF the week before . . . and there were less TNF back then . . . to his credit Brady did not complain about it nor did BB or the team . . .
Manning chose to make a point that probably needs to be made . . . however with this said I noticed manning was silent on the matter which with the baseball/NFL situation that put Baltimore on the road to Denver for the traditional earned home game for the SB winners . . . true there was a parking problem, but the NFL could have easily moved the game to Wednesday like it did the year prior due to the democratic convention being on Thursday . . . so there was a precedent which the NFL choose not to use thereby giving the Broncos an edge of catching the Ravens in week 1 as opposed to midseason form and Manning did not comment on this issue, which was to his favor . . . Ravens should of gotten a home game and against one of its home game opponents . . .
