I'm pretty sure the schedule is made by a computer algorithm.

Read the article.

This came out earlier in the week.

Is he also responsible for having us play on Monday night and giving the Packers 2 extra days of rest?

 

[Mitchrapp]

Does it really matter where we'd play the Packers last week at home, and Dallas this week on the road? Whew..

Read the article.

Tony there are 500,000 possibilities. Do you think Rod and Todd's bullshit session had anything to do with the result? It takes 40 computers and 4 men months to make the schedule. The free press article is a literally a joke if you know anything about the complexity of making a 32 game schedule with dozens of restrictions.

The schedule makers said they took it into account

Lol. Yeah okay. I wrote an email to John Kasich two months ago. They said they'd get back to me..

I get that, but did you read the article? I'm not try to be a smartass either.

You're nobody though......

Like the President, of the Lions nonetheless, has got it all. "Oh sure we'll make sure you get that home game, Mr. Wood." Lol.

But the NFL is rigged. They are all against the Lions. Ive heard it for years. No way would they honor a request.

You're such a fucking idiot lol. It was just a request by Wood to have a home game at the end of the year. We got it. Nobody is saying 100% that's the reason why but it was never requested before. Get over it, you assclown.

It needs to be every other year. Home one,away the next. 3 years in a row Away was too much. 2011 was away too. 2012 home vs bears. 2009 home bears and 2010 home Vikings.

Packers were due to play at ford field week 17. Glad they are

They take steps when they need to as to not make it too obvious though, duh..imo, the NFL can't control the outcome compleltey, the can only guide it and help one team over another on any given Sunday. Many times that's all they really need, it's a game of inches and holding can be called on any play at thier discreation, imo the NFL will try to help the lions win Sunday as this franchise really really needs it, but it still won't be enough, the injuries are just too great right now imo. Stafford just isn't the same with that finger, maybe if the defense comes up huge multiple times..maybe..but there is no pass rush so that's unlikely as well :-(

Maybe next year
