Congrats to the punk ass Panthers. But it's obvious they wouldn't have won had the game started in the second half, around 1:00 p.m. pacific time, when the Seahawks' were fully awake, when their circadian rhythms aligned with the game. There is an obvious and blatant bias when it comes to to west coast teams traveling east and playing in the eastern time zone. It's bullshit. Fuck the NFL for not fixing this problem!
Petition to end NFL east coast bias/ West Coast teams shouldn't have to play at 10:00 a.m.
- Thread starter Black A. Camus
- Start date
Don't the same logic implies to east coast team going to the west coast...I mean I don't understand why folks on the west coast complain about this every year...
If I am not mistaken the seahawks arrived in Carolina on Monday
Everything works on east coast time. Even when it's time for the world to end. It will end at 5:47 pm eastern standard time.
Circadian biorhythms is proven and accepted science by everyone except the NFL. Moreover, if you doubt it notice the difference between the first half, and the second half, of this game. It's too easy for the NFL to make west coast teams play at 4:00 p.m. east coat time. They don't because enough fans don't complain. Well, I'm complaining here and I'm trying to start a petition.
They been here awhile. I know they practiced at Johnson C Smith on Friday & Saturday.
It's complete bullshit
As an east coaster and getting a little taste of the 10 am games when they had the London games I must say I think football from early morning till midnight is a blessing from God Almighty himself. It's Sunday, it must be church!
In the same boat. One of the reasons i would move out west. Could be done with games 10.
No, that morning shit is different. With that said, I think the NFL does its best to keep schedules tight. Shit, you should know this from playing those football pools.
Unless a team is going to England..every team has to go the east coast/west coast every year..
The Broncos played 6 games outside their timezone,while the Seahawks played 7,it's not like Seattle is the only team that has to travel outside their timezone..
They left Friday, which is understandable. Only 2 days to adjust to a different time isn't reasonable--especially when it's so easy to accommodate
Denver is in the Mountain time zone. Seattle and other west coast teams are in the pacific time zone. So what was a 10:00 a.m. game for Seattle today would have been a 11:00 a.m game for Denver. That matters.
Sorry dude but fuck your petition. Its just as inconvenient for east coast teams to fly to the west coast and adjust to the western time zone. Your just making excuses for the Seahawks who came out flat in the first half. If the Seahawks need the home field advantage to win tell them to play better during the regular season. 
Did you complain about this the year the Seahawks won the superbowl,because they played the same exact amount of times outside the west coast and still won the Superbowl.
Instead of complaining about this nonsense,complain about how the Seahawks gave up leads in the fourth quarter this year and loss and maybe they would of had home field advantage this season.
Math proves that West coast teams don't perform as well going east. That's why I referenced the pools. It's one of the factors to consider when picking NFL games.

Really, fuck your dumb-assedness. The worse an east cast team traveling west can do is play at 1:00 p.m. I refuse to explain that, because it's too simple. Contrary to that, a west coast team traveling east plays at 10:00 a.m. --that's a huge disadvantage the NFL could easily address.Sorry dude but fuck your petition.

And Seattle should of never gave up all those leads this year and maybe they would have homefield.
Instead of crying about west coast teams traveling to the east coast,he should be upset that his team gave up leads in the 4th quarter and loss 6 of them
Yeah yeah blow it out yo ass, what about all the teams that travel to New England, I don't hear them complaining. Plus where were these complaints when Seattle was winning the Superbowl and even last season. Your acting like they took the red eye in from Seattle last night. These are professional athletes and if they can't play football anywhere else but within their zip code then someone drafted the wrong players.
Good teams win under the circumstances they're dealt. They don't make excuses they just get the job done.
Look, I'm not saying that's why Seattle lost today. It wasnt. But everyone talking about no one bit ching when Seattle went to the Superbowls... That's because they were at home........ No excuses, Carolina was flat out better today, but you simply cannot say there NOTHING to the theory... Not just in sports, those of you that travel for work should know. It does affect you. How much is up for debate.
All of Seattle losses this year are from them losing leads in the 4th quarter,if they would won all of them,particularly the one at home against Carolina..they would of had homefield advantage again this year....
Seattle had 5 home games in the last 10 games of the season and went 3-2 in that span at home...I don't want to hear folks talking about they didn't have homefield advantage when when they went 5-3 at home this season
Cry me a river it's called home field advantage for a reason.
I hear you. I'm not a Seattle fan. I'm just saying there's something there. I don't think anything needs to be changed. But I'm not one of those people who think it doesn't matter when it does.
Doesn't this apply to one or more NFL erry week during the regular season tho?
And while we are at it also applies to MLB, NBA teams, marathons, hockey games golf tournaments, tennis matches, ping pong games and domino matches that are held on the East Coast too.
IF they wanna "fix it"....FLY INTO THE OTHER TEAM'S TOWN EARLIER!

I'll say this.
To make the shit even more stupid next Sunday the games start LATER than they did today lol. instead of 10am pacific they start at noon.
regular season you just have to deal with it. Playoffs it doesn't make sense on Sunday to have 10am games when all during the regular season you have Sunday night Football.
Have the game at 4pm and then 8pm like they're used to every other week of the NFL season.
