Danger Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 We'd been lucky to this point and not lost a home game to all the international crap. Finally caught up with us. Sigh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WheatieMan Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Good start to the schedule as a Cowboy fan. I’ll take my home and home Sunday Thursday Turkey Day combo to follow this one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babyatemydingo Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Extra two days for the following week minus a travel day. We'll see about the dysentery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football_Bachelor08 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Utterly ridiculous. At least with other international games, the competing teams were given bye weeks afterward. We all know there won't be a bye after Week 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) I can see this being the norm going forward. international game on Friday to open the season. NFL seems really passionate about growing this sport outside of this country AKA make more money. I bet they've been thinking about a game in Saudi Arabia sometime in the near future. The NFL PR people gonna have to earn that paycheck when that day comes Edited February 6 by August4th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeotheLion Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 If you have to do an international game, this seems to be the best way. Get it out of the way early, given 2 travel days afterwards. It does suck to open up the season in front of neutral fans but that is the only downside I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art_Vandalay Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I really hope that one extra game on the schedule is a home game. Last year we were one of the unlucky teams to have 9 road games. I don't think the travel is a big deal. I'd rather it get knocked week 1 vs playing a game then having to travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
