Rivers... Eli... even Favre was around for a bunch of that. Brees had quite a few bad losing seasons. None of them? ****ing Matt Ryan?
Wow.

With a defense that allowed an average of 27 ppg for your entire tenure (worst during Carr's time with the Raiders) and having six head coaches, anything is possible.
Did Ryan play the Falcons since leaving Atlanta?
Breaking it down, until recently, a NFC team was only guaranteed to play an AFC team every four years and vice versa. And if they missed the game due to injury, there you go. A reprieve for four years.
This situation happens when a QB is good enough to start for nine years for a crappy franchise that hasn't had a league average defense since 2003 and he has only missed like three starts due to injury and I don't think any of those starts were against NFC teams either.
Plenty of QBs could lose to all 32 teams in their career but those QBs never get a shot to play enough games. Kind of like how most of the QBs in the top ten for career interceptions are HOF guys. And the ones who aren't like Hadl and Snead had lengthy careers because they were good QBs.
But it is an amusing stat and sums up the slop fest that Old Al and Bowlcut has served to the fan base.
