Full Patriots, NFL 2017 Schedule released

[Joey007]

We will end the regular season vs. the Jets at home, per a website I just saw, NJ or something.

For what its worth, Scott Zolak is saying the Raider game in Mexico City will be a late afternoon kickoff and not on Sunday night.

Predicted late afternoon/prime time games:

vs KC (SNF/NBC)
vs ATL (SNF/NBC)
vs CAR (4:25)

at OAK (4:25 CBS)
at PIT (SNF/NBC)

There would be at least one divisional game in prime time.

 

[Froob]

Jets getting only one primetime game, I love this schedule already.

There would be at least one divisional game in prime time.

How on earth did they get a primetime game?

 

[TennisBallHead]

I can't believe they actually have a "day" for this. Just release the ****ing schedule.

 

[qbno12]

How on earth did they get a primetime game?

No idea. I don't think none of our division opponents deserve a prime time game but we usually play Jets in prime time.

Teh football drought is real

 

[jmt57]

The Patriots will allegedly play the Saints in Week 2.

 

[Tony2046]

Not a bad bye week if this holds true.

 

[They_Hate_We]

Saints Week 2 in tha' DOME!!!! My first Pats game ever!!!!!
God my friends are gonna kill me when I wear my 12 shirt...LOL

See ya there @pherein !

Denver better not be a ****ing MNF game right before the Mexico trip.

 

[BelichickFan]

Week 8 bye isn't perfect but it's pretty damn good. Wonder if they'll stay in Denver between that and Oakland to have two straight high altitude games.

 

[XLIX]

If that schedule is accurate, I bet they stay in Colorado after the Denver game, then fly to Mexico city on Thursday or Friday instead of coming all the way home.

 

[Deus Irae]

How on earth did they get a primetime game?

Everyone gets one now. It's a participation trophy.

What is the sweet spot in terms of getting used to high elevation ? I think DMac said that if you just come for a few days you often don't feel it until late in the game. Would staying the week in higher elevation make the adjustment to Mexico easier or would it have a too negative immediate effect on practice during the week if they stay there ?

9-14 looks like a meat grinder. 5 out of 6 games on the road.

The NFL has committed to the final two games of the regular season both being division games. That would mean the Patriots would be playing the Jets in back-to-back games, in week 16 and 17.

That's not happening.


Also, the Mexico City game is in the wrong week. Perhaps everything in that tweet is off by one week; it was reported earlier elsewhere the Patriots would play the Jets in Week 17, not 16.

 

[qbno12]

Looks like they got the games right but not the dates.

I'll release my schedule soon
