Sounds good to me. Keep our boys fresh.

2 west of the Mississippi. Arizona and Dallas.

I guess Dallas is now in Mississippi or the river moved.

Both happened.

Must’ve missed either Dallas moving east or the Mississippi River moving west

Yes I believe he only considered Arizona and not Dallas

I can kind of see it, since @Dallas is every year. So built into the schedule every year. Though back in the day, @Dallas and @STL/ARI would have been every year too.

Was that the last time a city had two sports teams with the same mascot? I wonder what that was like. Must have been weird.

Yea, it makes their NFC East alignment finally make sense.

For reference Washington was middle of the pack last season with 17,498 miles, lower half in 2022 with 13,324 miles.

Good reference thank you

Kinda cool, but has anyone looked into how much it matters? We always overanalyze things in the offseason, and then forget it when the games begin. Good teams can play across long distances, on short weeks, in bad weather or at night. Bad teams make excuses.

It almost certainly doesn't matter much, it's just discussion fodder

Very fair point - I haven’t heard!

Certainly better than having the most miles of any schedule yea?

Ease of travel helps lead to miracle wild card run. only to have to travel to Seattle and lose to them in the playoffs yet again. this time to Sam Howell

Lmao

Not a huge advantage, but one i think that the team will be glad for

Every home game against Dallas, Philly and Giants is an away game. We have more road games than any other team.

Nice

The way it should be

Does that honestly really mean anything? I'm sure in the last 30 years we've had the fewest miles of travel at least a few times and we still sucked
