It's easy, and only takes a few moments.2011 worked out pretty well, not only for a season opening standpoint, but for the overall season as well. I believe that was the game where Brady threw for like 450 yards, and had the 98 yarder to Welker.Pats have played in Miami in
September 6 times in last 30 seasons

It isn't vs. AFCW, vs. AFCW, vs. AFCW, @AFCW, @AFCW, @AFCW... it's vs. AFCW, vs AFCW, (2 AFCW HOME, 2 AFCW AWAY), @ AFCW, @AFCW, (2 AFCW HOME, 2 AFCW AWAY)
Obviously, the years with 2AFCW HOME, 2AFCW AWAY switchover the home/away teams
i disagree... broncos would happily give the extra few days rest in exchange for playing the Pats at home for a change...
for the 3rd straight year NFL puts Denver at Gillette for their reg season matchup...
When I'm elected King of the World, every game will be played at 1 p.m. Well, except maybe for one Monday night game each week.
Sucks the jersey game is so late in the season.
If by some miracle Jersey is still hanging on with playoff hopes, its the perfect time to knock them out of the post season.
Some comments on the comments:
1. I am baffled on an annual basis on why the freakin NFL keeps sending us down to Miami in September, and sending them to NE in December. Clearly someone down at NFL Headquarters scheduling department is a sadist. It would seem SOOOOOOOO much more logical to reverse those 2 games.
2/ Not only would it benefit BOTH teams on the field, but having a Pats game in December, would be better for the Dolphins organization since they'd have a better chance at selling out. Who the F would want to pay a couple of hundred bucks for the pleasure of getting both heat stroke AND cancer sitting in that sauna of a stadium for the better part of a hot and humid 95 degree day....even if you are a Phins fan. On the other hand, there might be thousands of NE fans who'd travel to Miami in December, and thousands more Miami fans who would appreciate going to their stadium in relative comfort to see a big game.
3. Make no mistake. Playing Miami at 1pm at home in early September is as big an advantage for them as having Miami come up here and play us in a snow storm. An 85 degree day in August in Foxboro doesn't come close to what a 90 degree day is in Miami in early September.
4. Having to play 3 of our 1st four games on the road is a very tough way to start the season. A 3-1 start would be a HUGE success. A 2-2 start wouldn't be a shock or concern, at least to me.
5. I hate that Manning gets that 10 day rest before our game with them, but I'd rather have the home game than the rest.
6. Making us travel to Minneapolis AND SD on two consecutive weeks sucks. Those are both long trips.
7. The schedule makers didn't do us any favors, but nothing really onerous. 11-5 would be an excellent result, 10-6 would be OK. Anything over 11 wins would be an exceptional regular season IMHO.
