PanthersATL

packers v rams, thanksgiving evening. (one more potential panther/packer week out of the running) (which likely means that they have a Bye week immediately before... unless it somehow is being accounted for as the last game of the week that ends Wed night turning that into a mini-bye for them?)

other than the international question, none of this is news to any team/fan after the opponents were announced. It helps this season that we're all central/eastern timezone games (and our away games aren't crazy far away)

not a surprise given our schedule. a well-rested team is a winning team. right?

What questions do you have for the team/players that you absolutely know will never be answered? For example, will we ever hear the for-real reason Greg Olsen chose to leave the team after meeting with Rhule after Rhule was hired? (it's gotta be because of Rhule? Right?) (I'll add a preemptive "why did we draft Bryce?" one out of the way. There are tons of other threads already talking that topic) no need to debate the various answers; merely curious what those outstanding "hmmmmmmm....." questions we have would be

Based on this, we can make educated guesses of when we won't be playing various teams Gives a little insight into the machinations the NFL schedule makers go through when determining who plays when for example, it's likely we're not playing either Cin or Atl in Week 10. Probably not playing Steelers or Saints in week 8. Ravens in week 4 is probably out as well. No Eagles in Week 6. No Lions in Week 11. Vikings in Week 12 would be questionable as well

that is by design. They requested the London game options (plus, they have stadium construction this year)

So much for Madrid being on our list of games in November. it's Falcons vs Bengals

Done Week 1 MNF game is Kansas City Chiefs vs. Denver Broncos

heard a rumor we may get a home AND away game against the Bucs this season

RUMOR: TB @ CAR: 1pm

generally speaking, going by the original NFL international marketing rights announcement... we would expect to host a Germany home game once every four years. Doesn't mean we would play internationally only then, just the guarantee home game situation things might have changed since then, if they figure out how to play at more stadiums during a season to expand the number of "home" teams available

Munich won't happen. It's a Lions home game in Munich, but we play the Lions at home at BOA Most likely to happen would be Madrid vs the Falcons (although KC has been pushing hard for this one). From a schedule perspective, it would be interesting to have an early November Madrid game (then the bye week), then close out the season at BOA for the 2nd game vs the falcons. In other words, put the two division games in the 2nd half of the season Paris vs the Saints has long been rumored to be the Browns (but... never say never) We wouldn't play Munich, Melbourne, Mexico City, London, or Rio based on who those announced home teams happen to be
