Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Anyone notice that the bills play the cardinals, who played on thursday last week and had extra days to prepare for the bills and next week they play the tenn who play tonight and will have extra days to prepare for the bills. Two weeks in a row? Really? just the man keeping us down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Schedule is set based on where you ended in what division. Not only who they play, but where they play. I believe there is some flexibility in scheduling say for example every 4 years the Bills and SF play, well in 2016 the game may end up in SF again, if in 2020 for a third time in a row the game was set for SF, they may make an adjustment to play the game in Buffalo instead. But they try to keep these things to a minimum as it's just simply changing the site of the Bill's game, now they also need to change two other teams in the series of AFC east vs NFC west and there may not be another easy one to change so it's not a guarantee. Nope - simple rotations straight through. 2016 sf comes here, 2020 we go there. Zero judgement calls on teams and location. Only two teams are tbd, but whether those are home or away is already set, and what division it's from is set - just have to see who finished the same spot as us. Play your whole division twice - once home once road (6 games) Play 1 full division in the AFC - 2 home 2 road, switch home and road each time you play that division (4 games, total to 10 now) Play one full NFC division - 2 home 2 road, same deal as the AFC so you play at each NFC stadium every 8 years and they come here every 8 (4 games, total now 14) Play 1 team in each AFC division we didn't match up with that season - team that finished in the same spot as you, one at home one on the road next time we play a single team in those divisions it swaps home and road Here's a list of what we have coming along with the rest of the division til 2017: http://www.johnnyroadtrip.com/schedules/nfl_future_afce.htm The only quirk was a few years back they adjusted the west divisions to help with travel so a few teams altered their rotations in the AFC and NFC west for a single cycle to get on the updated pairings.
