N4L Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Niners schedule is brutal. GB @Bal @NO ATL LAR @SEA is a tough final 5 games. Then a week 4 bye? We also have two stretches where we play back to back games on the east coast. I always say the league puts you were they think you will be. Last year they gave us a lot of primetime games and a late bye week. This year they give us an early bye and less primetime games. They don't think we will be very good lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 can't complain about the steelers schedule that much after seeing the raiders schedule...that looks tough on paper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Not sure if it's an advantage for the Falcons, but it certainly doesn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Honestly when’s the last time a team had 5 straight road games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see 5 straight road games in Oakland's schedule. I can only see 2 straight road games and the international? @BayRaider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a six week slate where they play two road games, a "home" game in London (which is basically a road game), and two more road games, and their BYE week in the same time frame. It's the same raw deal the Buccaneers got as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2005 Saints had a nightmare season due to Hurricane Katrina. They were basically on the road all year playing at multiple venues. Their week 2 game against the Giants that was supposed to be a home game, got flipped into a road game. Not surprisingly, the team finished 3-13.

I'm just fearful of a team like Atlanta or Indianapolis having good seasons at home, ending up 10-6 or 11-5 and having to go to Pittsburgh/New England and/or Chicago/Green Bay in January.

Yes...the "dome team" disadvantage in the playoffs outdoors does seem to hold some merit historically, even though it shouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
