Private? You mean chartered right? Not all owner have a private plane for players like Rub and Tug Kraft

MJS Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 I imagine it's more disruptive to move operations for a whole week and not have access to all of the facilities you normally do.

Pushing my schedule back 3 hours was simply going to bed a little later one night,coming back was 3 days of moving the bed time an hour each day. So for Bills going West each time is not as bad. In baseball all they always are off even they travrl 3 time zones from west to east because of body clock being out of whack for games. since football isn’t a night game traveling is easier where you can keep your team on the same body clock there would be problems if east coast games started at 9am or west coast games at 10pm locally.
papazoid Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 Rams are apparently a little irritated by one part of the Patriots' 2020 schedule In Week 13, the Patriots will be traveling to Los Angeles to face the Chargers, which means they won't have to travel anywhere to face the Rams, because they'll already be in Los Angeles. On the other hand, the Rams have to travel to Arizona in Week 14, which means they have to get on a plane on Sunday night, which is something the Patriots won't have to do. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/rams-are-apparently-a-little-irritated-by-one-part-of-the-patriots-2020-schedule/ 1

To clarify, the Rams play the Cards week 13 (12/6) and have to suffer the 90 minute flight home Sunday night to LA then square off with the Pats on 12/10. WRT west coast games, I'm of the mind that ya fly there Saturday, try to keep your EST bedtime, play, then fly back probably Monday morning. Though I don't suffer jet lag much on the times I've flown West so I'm not a good judge of what's best.
MJS Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 I think our schedule couldn't have worked out any better, so I'm glad they didn't request anything like that.

He is not whiny - He is the "T*m Br*dy" brandy of competitiveness I have been told. And with airport checks, etc it is probably as fast to drive. I have driven it from game before.

Driving it, compared to what they do, is not comparable. 2 hours ago, GaryPinC said: WRT west coast games, I'm of the mind that ya fly there Saturday, try to keep your EST bedtime, play, then fly back probably Monday morning.

Not being difficult with specific needs makes it a heck of a lot more likely that you get fewer teams coming off byes, etc. Their goal is to balance all that stuff out when they build the schedule...start adding stipulations and it's such a complicated thing that you start having to play multiple teams off byes potentially to accomodate the other stuff...i mean that's an assumption, but I'll stand by it big time.
