Wk 28 Patsfans have the winning bid of .27 cents for Roger's remains. (Which oddly matched the PSI discrepancy in the Well's report)

Wk 30 Roger's remains still in Urinal.

Wk 200 Roger's remains still in Urinal.

GFY Roger!!

vs SEA and/or ARZ is a 4:25 fox protected for sure

Arizona is a CBS game

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Again can't imagine a game like us vs. Den would be the first game. That game is just too big for the opener. It will be in Nov.

Is it still that big when it's Sanchez vs Brady? Maybe it is to some...but not to me

 

[ViperGTS]

Either that, or they'll send it back to Berman, who will use the ace up his sleeve to put it to rest once and for all.

Won't happen if they rule against Brady. There is much going on behind the scenes that we aren't privy to. They aren't going to remand the case back to Berman when I've read that they can rule on the items that Berman left on their own. That's something I don't understand. Berman should have the right to rule on anything he left open. To be basically told sit on the corner, we are gonna do it for you is BS.

As far as the schedule, opener will be Seattle MNF. That's my guess. Be the biggest game outside of opening night. I'm sure that's wrong but who knows.

I think it all depends on what specific items they rule on, but it can most certainly be sent back to Berman. It's definitely one of the options that is on the table. Fingers crossed that this ridiculousness can be put to rest at some point. If not, I'd have to imagine that Brady would be granted the stay and continue to play until some sort of resolution. He can't get those games back, which helps his argument for the stay to be granted.

I REALLY hope the league has the Pats open in Denver. It would be hilarious to ***** slap them on national television on the same night they hang their banner.

 

[Froob]

If we open Thursday Night in Denver I'm gonna cry.

I'd love Denver opening night. Make the boys have to watch Denver raise that banner knowing it should have been theirs. That'll get them fired up and pissed off. No better way to open the season than beating the World Champs in their own building.

 

[FourierSeries]

If we open Thursday Night in Denver I'm gonna cry.

You're afraid of playing a team who beat us only because we were decimated by injuries and missed an XP on their home field? A team who got worse during the offseason?

 

[Jambalaya]

Per a source:
Week 1: Pats at Arizona
NFL Kickoff: Carolina at Denver

It won't happen - too much uncertainty with brady's court case. Brady would maximize ratings.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

That makes much more sense than pats v denver in the opener

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Per a source:
Week 1: Pats at Arizona
NFL Kickoff: Carolina at Denver

That makes the most sense. Super Bowl rematch to start the season, and possible Super Bowl preview also in week 1 (who made a major offseason trade with each other). Plus having the 1st west coast trip being at the end of training camp will help mitigate travel concerns (Pats have requested avoiding multiple west coast trips if possible in the past).

Actually, that would be the reason that the league may want the Pats to open against them. I'm of the opinion that Brady will play so, that being said, I would love to see Denver in Week 1 and watch a healthy Pats team put the tires to them.

I agree with you, I want the pats in the opener at denver with brady, obviously. I just can't see the league taking a chance on a garrapolo v. sanchez match up. That would be a ratings nightmare.

 

[sb1]

I don't hate an opening game @ ARI.

I bet the league would have the Pats open @ LA if that was a Patriot road opponent. Highest profile team in football vs LA's new team.

I can see the pats opening on SNF in arizona.

I think I would prefer this option over a perception that Brady's suspension was overturned on a technicality.

Send it back to Judge Berman so he can order the NFL to turn over their cell phones and notes. Then all the questions we have will finally be answered. This judge knows what the real story is with this whole case.

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

Watch, Pats will get three teams coming off bye weeks.. League will claim ti is purely concidental....
like playing Denver after a MNF away game.....

In ordeer to keep things "fair", the Patriots will give their bye to the Jets.

Well, that would be great, but it's probably wishful thinking.

What I was referring to was the fact that Berman didn't include the fact that responsibility for punishment was given to Vincent--obviously, incorrectly.

If the case goes back to him, one would think that may be a very important point that he can and will use.
