Schedule Coming Thursday, April 14

Schedule Coming Tomorrow

Well that sneaked up on us! They didn't even leak any of the prominent national games.

If we open Thursday Night in Denver I'm gonna cry.

Prediction:

vs SEA (SNF NBC)
vs BAL (425 CBS)
vs CIN (TNF)
@ PIT (SNF NBC)
@ DEN (season opener NBC)
@ ARI (425 FOX)
vs NYJ (MNF BSPN)

TNF games are usually within the division for the most part. Doubt we play cincy there. I think our TNF game will be vs Buffalo as they are the only division opponent we haven't faced on Thursday

@arizona would likely be on CBS

Early bye, away for Miami late in the year, pit or denver will be on short weeks with one of them coming off a bye.

Edit to add: the only way the Thursday night opener is ne/denver is if the only well educated oriental in the nation who can't grasp hs level math and science accepted the duffel bag full of cash from th NYJFLFO.

We had a mid season bye for 4 straight years, we were due for an early bye last year and probably will get one this year too. It's not some conspiracy. Christ.

It will be Pitts, Balt, Hawks or Jets on a short week

Won't be the hawks, an out of conference loss doesn't mean as much as a division or in conference loss. Baltimore is a dumpster fire, they would get curb stomped even if they were the backend of a day night double header.

I expect 3 of the first 4 games to be division opponents, just in case those NY judges are smoking as much meth as Jim Irsay.

My guess

@Den
Sea (SNF)
@Pitt
BYE WEEK
Cin
@Arz
Buf
@Nyj (TNF)
LA (MNF)
Bal (SNF)
@ Mia
@Cle
Hou (SNF)
Nyj
@SF
Mia
@Buf

All I care about is the bye not being so early. Give me a mid-late bye. My guess is first 2/3 at home.

If Manning was still with Denver I would say we don't open at Denver Thursday night..but now that he is gone I think we open with them. Which is fine by me. No QB plus have a week and a half after to prepare which Bill loves and the team does good after all that prep.

I just don't want pitt/az and Seattle bunched together..tough tough games. But seat is at home and I am picking up to go 8-0 at home with 3-4 losses on the road..@MIA or jets. We always seem to lose one of those now...@AZ L and possibly at Pitt..

Tough schedule but this team got better. Still need help but draft can fill our holes.

Hoping for a good bye and first four not too difficult - just in case.

Other than that, whatever.

Again can't imagine a game like us vs. Den would be the first game. That game is just too big for the opener. It will be in Nov.

Liked how you guessed all the tough games early. See what you did there

Why? I think opening night will be when they are at their weakest. We know for sure they will have a new QB. I'd rather face a QB on a new team week 1 than week 11.

And I don't think Brady will be serving a suspension since even if he loses CA2, appeals will be up in the air and he will get a stay.

the problem is we don't know what the CA2 will say, so the NFL will likely not have the Pats play the opener unless the league wants us to feel embarrassed with Garrapolo on opening night. Brady = Ratings.

predictions
@DEN is SNF early in season to end the rivalry
vs SEA and/or ARZ is a 4:25 fox protected for sure
@Jets for MNF
possible SNF: PITT, CIN, BALT

I'm asking myself why I am not more excited. I guess Goodell's crap and Bob's wimpiness have taken their toll.

The idea of having NE on the Thursday night opener 2 years in a row is likely enough to solidify its place later in the season.

Either that, or they'll send it back to Berman, who will use the ace up his sleeve to put it to rest once and for all.
