Schedule makers did us no favors

So with all the talk of injuries, I decided to take a look at the schedule to see if we play any teams coming off short weeks. What I found, was the exact opposite. 

We play the falcons, bengals, eagles and Seahawks all coming off their Thursday night game. In other words, those four teams get ten days of rest before their games with us. 

Couple that with a week four bye (which ironically we kind of need right now), it looks like the nfl really wants to see us earn our first ever back to back winning season.

Yeah I noticed that trend when I realized the Falcons and Bengals will both be coming of Thurs night appearances before facing us.  I didn't research the rest of the schedule thinking certainly there would be no more than those two.

We travel the least amount of miles over any other team. Its not rigged against us guys give it a rest.

Division rivals, of course, are home and home and the other two divisions are on a 12 year cycle (basically opposite the home/away vs the last time we played them). That only leaves 2 games (Seattle and Detroit). I wonder what the criteria is to determine how home/away assigned on those two games.

It's really goofy but if you can see the schedule laid out for a 6-year span (or more), it makes sense.

Our NFC divisional rotation goes North, East, West, North, East, West, so if you're looking at a map of the U.S., it's essentially going in a clockwise direction (that's how I remember it). Those two same-place finisher home and away games both follow a rotation that goes North, North, East, West, East, West, but it's staggered due to having to play another entire division every year (I say North-North first since again it's easy to remember, but the rotation "starts" depending on what year you list first).

I'll list the NFC division the entire NFC South played each year, then the NFC division each NFC South team played at home, then the NFC division each NFC South team had to travel to...

2009: NFC East, NFC North same-place finisher at home, NFC West same-place finisher on road
2010: NFC West, NFC North same-place finisher at home, NFC East same-place finisher on road
2011: NFC North, NFC East same-place finisher at home, NFC West same-place finisher on road
2012: NFC East, NFC West same-place finisher at home, NFC North same-place finisher on road
2013: NFC West, NFC East same-place finisher at home, NFC North same-place finisher on road
2014: NFC North, NFC West same-place finisher at home, NFC East same-place finisher on road
2015: NFC East, NFC North same-place finisher at home, NFC West same-place finisher on road
2016: NFC West, NFC North same-place finisher at home, NFC East same-place finisher on road
2017: NFC North, NFC East same-place finisher at home, NFC West same-place finisher on road
2018: NFC East, NFC West same-place finisher at home, NFC North same-place finisher on road
2019: NFC West, NFC East same-place finisher at home, NFC North same-place finisher on road
2020: NFC North, NFC West same-place finisher at home, NFC East same-place finisher on road

If you just read it as each column going down you'll see that rotation: North-North-East-West-East-West. I'll stay this was as long as they don't add anymore teams to the league ir games to the schedule.

its the NFl if u don't like it go play in the Canadian league.. for your info .  the schedule is based on a conference rotation between the AFC and NFC .. then how your team did the previous season....not some conspiracy poo.. it is true they set up teams based on the rosters I agree with that!! Its only the best practice..But to say the league is rigged is rough unless u r cheat belicheck

      Legette for Coleman?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      IDK how we go from good player for good player trade suggestions to dumpster fire bust for dumpster fire bust trade suggestions. Even though Coleman is better, he has a littany of motivation and discipline issues. Do we think milquetoast Dave is gonna fix that??

      Recommended free agent targets from roppster report

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I am not worried about the contracts because any/all can be jettisoned in 2027 with minimal ramifications. I would like to land him because you rarely ever see an elite, 25 year old center hit free agency, this is a very weak center class and Mays is a bottom quarter starting center(love him as a utility IOL).  Ideally this offseason we solve center and draft a high caliber RT/LT to fill the gap for Ikey. Then next offseason, pending outcome of the rookie and Ikey's recovery you can jettison Hunt(VASTLY overpaid), make a determination on Ikey's ability to play(perhaps extend him on the franchise tag as a "prove it"), and let the Ikey/rookien situation dictate Moton. He can be extended on a LOWER cost deal or jettisoned if Ikey and the rookie can take the reigns. Either way, both OT's will need to be resolved, we need an actually starting caliber NFL center again and we need to get rid of one of these OG's. Hunt is the obvious choice as Lewis is substantially better across the board and cheaper.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's not a thing. If they can't find someone, they either aren't actually trying or it's a poisonous job and no one will.  Yes, plenty of them have gone with whom they wanted already. That's not really the point of the rule. It's to force teams to provide opportunities. It has worked well because coaches that wouldn't normally be given interviews are given that experience and teams have also been impressed enough to either offer them in the future or pass positive comments along to other NFL owners/front office personnel.  Also, we are over 20 years into the Rooney Rule. This isn't some new thing teams have to navigate.
