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

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!

      You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.

      Okay, who is coming. And how hard is it going to be to get tickets? I’m currently living in Germany a couple hours north of Munich. Happy to help facilitate a cheaper experience for help getting tickets lol.
