whats crazy is that in the 17 week schedule every team has 8 home games 8 road games and a bye
What in the is going on?
How can the Dolphins have only three road games in a ten week period?
The Vikes at home six out of eight weeks?
You gotta be kidding....the ans on the road four of five weeks...???? Three road games in a row....why?
Then there's the Redskins....they finish the season playing four out of five games at home..why?
Saints open up with three of their first four at home....what? Then have a five week strecth with four of five on the road.
This is crazy.
Then we have the Packers, pretty much home then road, home then road. That's how it should be.
Look at last nights game, why are the Broncos and Ravens getting three days extra to prepare for their next game?
I haven't looked for this yet but there will be a game played between one team on the road again vs a team at home again. That just ain't right.
The Lions will play four road games in their first six weeks.....that sucks! Then they'll see five weeks with only one road game...huh?
I'm telling ya this home/road thing is huge in pro football....HUGE!
The league needs to dump those Thursday games (except Turkeyday) and go with home then road, to see a team play three road games in a row or home games ...why?

So you see no difference in this?
Arizona starting off playing four road games in six weeks vs Atlanta playing ...
on the road
at home
on the road
at home
at home
bye
at home
Miami starts off with two road games while Buffalo starts off with double home games. That's cool?
Why do teams want that home field?
that means over the course of the rest of the season Arizona will get more home games and Atlanta will get more road games
Work with me here, ok?
It's down to the last month of the season, you are in the playoff hunt. You finish the last four weeks with three road games. While another team in the playoff hunt plays three of their last four at home. That's cool?
them's the breaks and you know your schedule well beforehand. pretty simple.
It's not about being simple, it's about being fair. You have any idea how hard it is to win back to back road games in the NFL?
Last season it was 12-48. 48 times teams failed to win both road games. How many times did teams lose both home games in a row? Try 40 times teams failed to lose two home games, losing both happened 12 times.
See the difference?

Fair?Injuries aren't "fair", weather isn't "fair". There are tons of things in football that are not "fair" and good teams react well to adversity. At least you know your schedule well beforehand.
I;m not talking about things you can't control. Give me one good reason we can't have home/road. home/road...? Why put some teams in three road games scenarios and others with three home game scenarios?Fair?
Stadiums host many events other than NFL games.
You can't be serious. What event is more important than NFL football?
that just tells me that I had the home-heavier schedule to this point, and if I didn't take advantage of that, then shame on me
You do understand most teams lease the stadiums they play in, right?
The Raiders are 1-22 in double road trips the last 10 years.
And if the NFL told the stadium brass they either comply with their wishs or...see ya!!!!! What would happen?

So all the teams should end the season with home games? Somebody has to be the roadie..
The NFL would have to scramble hardcore to find 8 places for a team to play, attempt to pacify season ticket holders, and the stadium can schedule pop music concerts and rake in money regardless on concessions.
That's not what I;m saying at all.
Everyone knows it's hard to win on the road in the NFL. That's why teams want that valued home field in the playoffs. So why put some teams in back to back to back road games while others get three consecutive home games? Why have some teams playing four road games in a five week period while others get four home games in a five week period? Where's the logic in that?
So how come we never see anything scheduled during playoff time in these stadiums but NFL football? Ever hear of...sorry but we have something else scheduled so you can't play your home playoff game here....well?
Why do the Spurs have to play on the road for two weeks every year? It's not fair!
You really don't get it at all do you?
I have made work schedules for a team of 8 people, and it sucked. When I was not a manager, I thought making a schedule was incredibly simple, but it wasn't. You have no idea what factors may or may not be in play for scheduling of home games for an NFL team, and to do so shows how incredibly dense you are. There is no doubt there are requests made by either side to avoid particular dates in particular cities at particular times of the year, whether it be the NFL or the person/group that owns the stadium. There is no way to know much of that as an NFL fan.
Dense is actually thinking if the NFL wanted a stadium they wouldn't get it.
Tell me how come they always get these stadiums come playoff time...always!
the raiders have been terrible during the last 10 years so that's not really saying much
Sounds like Avante is just setting up more excuses in advance for when his betting record turns out to be atrocious again
"It was the right play, the schedule just wasn't fair!"
