I dig Seahawks schedule. Only 1 10am game vs JAX. Week 6 bye plus Thursday-Monday games and resulting mini-bye between weeks 10-11.

Looking at the overall MNF schedule I think ESPN didn't get their wish

Week 1 SNF

TNF is @ Buccaneers, which is bad news
End of season goes: Dolphins, @Bills, @Dolphins, @Steelers, Bills, Jets what the everliving gently caress?

It is very weird to play 5 out of 6 divisional games to close out a season my man!

Also the Bills and Jets get the winter weather while the Dolphins get to come visit in a nice brisk November!

I don't like this Pats game to end the season because they'll probably be resting starters and the inevitable Jets win will take us from the #2 overall down to #5 and out of QB range.

Bengals open at home for the first time since 2009, and start with back to back games for the first time since 1983.

Also, Rodgers is somehow 0-2 against the Bengals.

That's what the NFL has been doing the past few years. Division games towards the end. Granted 5 of 6 is probably more extreme than most. Bucs play all their division games in the final 9 games.

Still not as bad as the game with the fan coming on the field and stealing the ball out of Favre's hands.

Yeah I thought that last year too, but Denver got the opening Thursday game and then played at San Diego on TNF

Um, your team gets its own special little prime time slot every other year, what could you possibly have to complain about?

That's not true at all, first off. And second:

-the NFL changing rules so that east coat teams don't have to fly to the west coast twice a year if they play a western division. Boo loving hoo. If we have to fly across the country twice where it's actually more of a toll on the body than east coast teams flying west, they should have to do the same

-10am starts for west coat teams playing on the east coast. They already play games on the east coast in the late spot, all games involving a west coast team should be in a late slot.

-divisional games at Kansas loving City of all places should not be at 10am.

While I agree on the first 2 points as well, it really grinds my gears that an AFC WEST team has their home games start at 10am.

I don't think many Kansas City fans would complain about an extra 3 hours of tailgating either, I don't know why they won't change that.

What it comes down to is the owners want to have as few 1:00 PST / 4:00 EST games as possible so Fox or CBS can have their big afternoon game broadcast as nationally as possible. I can't say I followed the Rams that closely when they were in St. Louis but I imagine it was a similar situation.

Good. The Eagles had to play 3 teams in a row coming off bye last year and they were all divisional games and no one gave a poo poo except us. We also got the Falcons off a mini bye after their TNF game.
