2016 Opponents Set

A week before the season started, just about every team we were scheduled to play this season was licking their chops at the chance to beat us and look how that turned out for them.  Trying to figure anything out right now is a waste of time.

And once again we play Seattle in Seattle. What the fug is the deal with that

Yeah 3 years ago they had to play here so now it reverses.   We just keep winning the division and so do they in between these 3 years.

The funny thing of note is that we play all 3 teams interested in moving to LA. I was in LA last week. I can count the nfl items I saw on one hand.  I've had more conversations about the panthers in one day in calgary today than I did the whole time I was in LA.  Pity the fanbase that moves there... but I wouldn't mind a roadtrip if we play them.

I think I'll go to the Denver game

Great stadium. Just do not sit in the high rows unless your in decent shape.   It really is a bit taxing walking up and down in thin air and will curb your beer intake.   If our current trend of drops continues into next year though.... you'll have nightmares of hearing IN COM PLEEEEETTE.

From Peter King's MMQB column regarding next year's Christmas schedule. Make your travel plans accordingly:

for those who have wondered what the NFL will do with Christmas landing on a Sunday next year, and it being the Sunday of Week 16, I’ll use history as my guide. The last three times Christmas has fallen on a Sunday—in 1994, 2005 and 2011—the NFL played 14, 13 and 13 games on Saturday that weekend. (In 2005, there were two on Sunday and one on Monday. In 2011, there was one on Sunday night and one on Monday.) And I’m told in all likelihood the NFL will keep the same plan for 2016, playing most of that weekend’s games on Christmas Eve, a Saturday.

    • There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years. 
    • All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens
    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
