Its not 2 games against "ANYONE" its 2 games against intraconference opponents based on prior years standings. For example, the first-place team in a division will play against the first-place team from another division within the same conference.

Well, I was just about to come and ask who the NFC South plays next season, before my browser crashed. Guess we'll know soon.

6 divisional games, 4 vs NFC East, 4 vs AFC West and 2 vs the NFC West and NFC North opponents with similar divisional standings ..its pretty simple.

it was posted the other day who the other two games are based on the standings right now, which will probably stay the same. I just can't remember, I think Arizona is one of them...again.

There has to be some rule to get around doing that game back to back seasons.

Okay, well if the Panthers and Bengals both finish 3rd in their Divisions, which they should unless Pittsburgh completely falls off the map now, and the Panthers are 7-9 and the Bengals are 9-7, would that be too dissimilar for that game to game happen?

the last 2 opponents will be from the NFC West and NFC North so the teams that finish in the same position as us from those divisions so probably Seattle/Arizona and Chicago

the extra games are conference games, like the Arizona and Washington games were this year.

Basic football is what happens on the field, not the formulas for how they determine schedules which I don't nerd over.

It's basic knowledge of the game. This is as bad as you thinking the team with the best divisional record wins the division.

It's like you're some dumb college fan who just decided to get into the NFL because of Cam.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      You keep mentioning the impact on the salary cap, but that's literally not the point with all these 2nd Rounders, it's all about precedent and it being a slippery slope that would lead to more fully guaranteed contracts for veterans. That's what the teams are making sure this doesn't get to, because yes, you're right, the guarantees for a 2nd rounder won't have significant cap implications if the player doesn't work out.  But you give that fully guaranteed 3-4 year contract to a FA who then shits the bed in year 1 and never regains the form that got them the contract, then yes, it's going to screw up your cap management and won't be a rounding error. And you can say it's a big leap to go from guaranteeing a 2nd round pick's contract to a big FA signing, but it's really not.  Once teams start giving them out, it's only going to keep growing and be insisted upon by agents in other situations and once the ball starts rolling down the hill, it's going to be impossible to stop it's momentum. Also, the only reason a 2nd rounder's contract would be a rounding error, is explicitly because contracts aren't guaranteed and teams can finagle the cap hits with various tactics.  Once contracts become more and more guaranteed, that won't be as easy to do, if even possible at all, and those individual rounding errors become serious problems in totality.

      Yep!  Jake wanted to stay. It’s been reported a lot that he did. Tulsky waited too long to give him that contract.

      He's still unsigned, due to injury I think. He should be able to play this year, but I think teams are just waiting for more clarity before signing him.
