What's worse is that in order to secure these national TV night games for his brand, Woody Johnson allowed the schedule to be front-loaded with all the difficult road games.

So it's a double whammy.  Not only did it put us in a spot to open 1-5 but it also led to Woody in humiliation, the first owner of an opposing team to lead to the flexing of a superstar quarterback out of prime time, it's unprecedented.  Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and Rob Gronkowski moved to 4PM?  Unthinkable. 

I love Mr. Johnson, but this schedule killed the team early with opponent strength and killed the fans late with 3 night games in 4 weeks.  Maybe he'll learn from this.

Dies the owner really have that much say in the schedule?

Bowles said he not sure who's starting against the Pats yet. I really like his decisive leadership qualities.

Yes, the 4:25 kickoff won't allow me enough time to get my son to his high school varsity hockey game unfortunately.

Besides, after the $545 I wasted yesterday it will be nice to get $900 for my seats.  Patriots fans aren't cheap.

no sh*t they aint. They travel thousands of miles to be with their beloved team until Brady retires. They'll join the next bandwagon after that.

Good question, I suspect owners do.  From what I've read about Woody Johnson requesting Thursday Night games and from what I've read about Bob Kraft lobbying to have 3 of his first 4 games at home anticipating the Tom Brady suspension, my guess is that they have input on what their teams and their fanbases are being asked to do-  in extenuating circumstances like number of night games consecutively, games on Jewish holidays, etc.

PSL's are investment gold with certain fanbases.  The 4:30 start will do wonders for my ticket values on StubHub.

Pure speculation/conspiracy theory...but the Pats/Kraft always seem to manage to have their Thursday night game at Foxboro.

A pinch of optimism from this Jets fan.  NIce.  Steve Young on the Michael Kay show said Bryce "showed nothing" yesterday.  I agree.

 

 

 

Just End The Season.

Woody cares about one thing.  Hanging around Trump may allow him to pick up sloppy seconds.
