And they are in the AFC East, half of their shedule is a cakewalk anyway. I just counted, four of the top ten are in the AFC South and four of the bottom ten are AFC East, and look at the bottom four out of five, AFC West. _____________________________ 2005 FXD-I 25,000 miles no chrome (in reply to badinfluence63) Post #: 3

It actually makes the schedule very fair, because you pretty much have the same sched as eveyone else in your division (in reply to Soft06) Post #: 5

Having said that, I know a ton of guys that are absolute freaks with all this crap, and from what I hear....every other team in the league does the same thing.....maybe even better....seeing as they didn't get caught....lol...by the way we are gonna win again...lol _____________________________ if it ain''t broke......fix it till it is :) 07 street glide, vivid black Bub 7 true duals , k&n high flow open filter with chrome back piece, chrome front end, passing lamps, billet controls and linkage PClll Lyndall pads (in reply to drfeelgood) Post #: 8
