IDK, maybe it’s a Coincidence that after Tampa signed brady they get a schedule where their bye week occurred late in the year to help them heal up before playoffs meanwhile the Saints get the same early bye they seem to year after year (that is a generalized statement).

Yes. I would call it a coincidence. It's hard for me to understand all of this "the league is out to get us" crap. Yes, the whole deal with the false claims concerning the so-called bounty affair was targeted toward the Saints, but for no reason other than our team happened to be the first that gave the league office the target. It could have just as easily been any of the other 31 teams. We were in the wrong place at the wrong time based upon the upcoming concussion claims against the league and happened to have a disgruntled ex-employee that made up stories to feed right into it. It was the perfect storm.

As for the scheduling, they of course want to have the highest interest games in prime slots. It is a business and the whole point is making money and getting exposure. None of that has anything to do with these ludicrous claims of manipulating outcomes.
