I said before it would not surprise me if we only got one SNF game. Although we get the opener and MNF games, I don't think the NFL is quite there yet with putting us on SNF more than once. If this is the real schedule
Exactly. The Packers always get more. And there is no way the Bears should get anywhere close to that. They are by far the most boring primetime team every year. We got one Sunday night game last year. The Packers and Bears generally get 2 minimum
If yoy think we don't a huge fan base, you're nuts. And we're actually a bigger market than the Packers are
You don't know that these teams, especially The Cowboys and Packers max out on primetime games every year? The NFL already proves it. I don't need to
Yeah, the Cowboys have been doing it the last few years. They play Thanksgiving and then the following the Thursday. I don't think they would do back to back Thursday games with us if we're already playing Thanksgiving and the opener at the Rams. That would be 3 Thursday games. Don't think they'll do that
I still don't know whether to believe this guy or not. Who is he? And how would he know? Not too mention, if you look at the rest of his tweets, there really isn't much else that's sports related
But that's my point, what's the point of the 2nd MNF game? And why week 2? I understood why the NFL did it the opening week before but even then the games were one right after the other, not overlapping. Why would they schedule another game that they know is gonna take some viewership away from our game on the same night? That just seems odd to me. The fact that they're doing it and that it's some random week they chose
I still feel the NFL Schedule makers don't respect us enough to give us anymore than one Sunday Night game. We only got one last year and if these leaks are right we will get the opening Thursday game but if the Chiefs game is 4:25 on CBS, then where is the SNF game? The one MNF game they announced so far is overlapped by another game while the our game is on and is going to take viewership away from the game. What's the reason for that? And in week 2? The NFL just chose a random week to put 2 MNF games on and make them overlap each other? the NFL also seems to have the "just put them on Thanksgiving" mentality like their trying to save the other primetime games for other teams
I get it but if I'm making the schedule, there's nothing that makes me wanna start a season with Garappolo
But what Lance done to get people excited for it?
He was just on Schopp and the Bulldog and said that the only reason that the Eagles and Chiefs announced that their games in week 2 were "Home Openers" is because both the Royals and Phillies are playing at home week 1 so they already knew they wouldn't be home for week 1. Bills at Rams week 1 still possible
Where's the person that so out of touch that he puts at Detroit the last game of the year and then has to be reminded the NFL has only done divisional matchups that weekend for like 10 years?
Just go with a draft lottery, it fixes the problem. It can be done like this
Lottery 1: Teams 1-5
Lottery 2: Teams 6-10
Lottery 3: Teams 11-18
All playoff teams 19-32 continue to be ordered based on playoff finish just like current system
The current system incentivizes losing
I still feel like they were the 2019 Bills but just overachieved. If we would have gotten past Houston, who knows what would have happened but I feel like those teams were very similar
