It's still relatively early in the season, so both Rodgers and Wentz could have rust. And I will always be in favor of getting a trip to Lambeau out of the way in September! Yeah, I don't mind getting it out of the way early. Should make for an interesting first few weeks. The 49ers will be a tough game as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENINCH Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I love Andrew Sendejo's reaction to the schedule on his instagram! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad we don't have to go there later in the year like always seems to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernViking Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Things I like about the schedule. 1. Home opener with pumped up crowd to rattle Jimmy G. 2. Early trip to GB 3. 10 days between the Rams Eagles game. A lot of time to prep for them. (Carson might not be ready yet) 4. November will be big for us. Play all NFC north teams. 5. Last potential cold game is early Dec in Seattle. 6. Last 3 games are in domes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a tough place to play though. I didn't even notice that. It's a lot of traveling in roughly a 10-day span. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Love the positioning of the Thursday game and the bye week. Basically it gives the team two bye weeks, with games nicely spread out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wk12: vs GB (SNF) Wk13: at NE Wk14: at SEA (MNF). Short trip to NE from a home game, then an extra day to go to SEA for MNF the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically it gives the team two bye weeks, with games nicely spread out. The position of the TNF game is fine, but the fact that we need to go directly across the country and go to the west coast on the short week is really going to hurt us. We're likely dropping that game, since the Rams will be in California for around 28 days to start the season and entering the game vs Vikings. In fact, some top Rams starters might not make the road trip to NO for the 4th preseason game... allowing them to be in California from August 10 to September 27th Put that one in the L column, and call it a schedule loss with unfortunate negative playoff implications.

Krauser Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 ? Home team record in prime time games, 2013-17: TNF: 45-33 (.577) SNF: 51-32-1 (.607) MNF: 47-39 (.547) So there’s no particular advantage for the home team on a Thursday night compared to any other prime time game.
