Update: Schedule Release Wednesday April 17 (Pats to Open on SNF)

[supafly]

Meh, overplayed. Funny tho pissing off the Steelers fan base. Browns would have been like the big 3 Heat playing the Celtics in the opener. Steelers have lost their luster.

Steelers are even with the Browns in terms of odds to win the AFCN, so I’m not sure why people are just assuming that Cleveland already has the division locked up?

Apparently, they aren’t familiar with the franchise of the Cleveland Browns, who will likely find a way to “Brown” yet again.

 

[JMC00]

Week 5 & 15 will be @Bengals & @Redskins just dont know which week is which

Nov. 24 is likely a home game since they aren't giving us four road games in a row, so that means Dallas or KC.

That’s true, I won’t be surprised if Steelers win the division. But, Browns are sexy and new and have the hype.

I love the 4 o'clock games, plenty of time to get chit done during the day.

@Miami early in the year would be great

So, one is @WAS and the other is @CIN, then.

True, I just don’t know how you trot out the 6th banner in front of anyone else besides the only other team that has 6, that’s all.

Browns Pats week 8, if Browns flop, that’ll be a major mistake not capitalizing on them earlier.

 

[borisman]

They will have more than 1 MNF game I would think. What's the limit on prime time games anyways? 3 SNF games is a lot.

 

[BelichicksHoodie]

Really happy to open the season like that. We can get a stranglehold on the division early.

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

Another way to look at it is no long plane rides, only 2 games over 500 miles, @Miami and @Hou...... compared to the 4 west coast games a few years ago...

Even if they go 2-2, it isn't crippling ( 2001,2003, 2014,2018)

End the season with 3 December home games? @Miami in the early heat?

I have to think the Krafts are not fans of this schedule.

Nor is this necessary. You could have easily flipped Home/Away for one of the early Bills/Dolphins games with one of the last two games.

The fact that they didn't seems to me a deliberate screw job. Don't get me wrong, it has some advantages (being home at the end of the season, cold weather against the Dolphins), but the lack of balance puts pressure on the team earlier in the year, & it hurts the 2nd tier caviar and champagne crowd that doesn't like cold weather.

Not happy we get Miami in September. That stadium’s going to be a sauna...

Interesting. I love the schedule. With the Miami game a wildcard as every year we could be going into W8 pretty much undefeated.

Then finish in the cold of Foxboro against two teams that might have packed it up for the year already.

Different perspectives I guess..

Gillette in December is a similar advantage to Miami in September so it balances out.

@Miami early in the year would be great

Well, we’ve also got the Super Bowl there this year so either way we’ll be back there for that.
