joneo 532 Posted August 23, 2015 I'm a believer that home field is a big advantage in the NFL. I am also a believer that starting out the season with a win is huge, both statistically and mentally. So when the schedule came out I looked at my Vikings and what do I see? For the 3rd year in a row, they start off on the focking road. Then to make it even worse, it's the 2nd game on Monday night and we play San Francisco at 10:20 pm ET.... WTF!!!! So even further, it sucks because the game is so focking late that those of us with jobs have to get less sleep. ALSO, That puts the Vikings with a short week of practice and travel for week 2 against a divisional opponent. Just a big FUCK YOU to the NFL... go FUCK YOURSELVES.

mobb_deep 919 Posted August 23, 2015 Well, at least you can rest easy knowing they're the worst team in the Norris, so it doesn't really matter who, when or where they play on any given week. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd GLADLY start our first 3 games on the road - if I could have at least 3 of my 4 December games at home. We have to go on the road 3 times in December - including Green Bay and Buffalo - that's brutal. Much rather be at home in December than in September. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just saying momentum, motivation, excitement for fans is over looked. Statistically, the most this should happen is 2 years in a row. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Football from high school, college and pros is Religion here - no problem keeping the fire going even if they started on the road every year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimmySmith 2,782 Posted August 25, 2015 Teams who play Monday night week 1, are 22-12 in week 2 at home since 1990. Teams who start on the road on Sunday win 40%. Teams who start on the road on Monday win 44%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joneo 532 Posted August 25, 2015 Teams who play Monday night week 1, are 22-12 in week 2 at home since 1990. you're saying that only 34 times since 1990 are real numbers? Please show your link as it appears B.S. Teams who start on the road on Sunday win 40%. Teams who start on the road on Monday win 44%. Not my point as much as a fan, the schedule sucks. Central time zone start is 8:30. It would be convenient to start earlier. Although, starting out the season with a loss is a statistical disadvantage.

jerryskids 5,358 Posted August 25, 2015 From 1988 until 2005 the Cards played in an outdoor stadium (ASU). Because it is still triple digits in September, the league always started the Cards off with a bunch of road games, which contributed to their perennial failure. Well, them sucking also contributed to it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,583 Posted May 13 Is this separating out the announcement of the schedule over a few days new or is it just me? It's focking stupid. It's a schedule. We already know who our favorite team's opponents will be based on last year's finish. The order we play them isn't important enough to make an event out of it.

They did it last year too but I think it's getting worse. I bet we get a few fox games tomorrow morning and maybe an international game or two, then another surprise Wednesday morning and maybe some leaks then the show on nfl network Wednesday night. At least that's my guess. As a chiefs season ticket holder, I do now have those tix and parking pass in my ap and can sell and transfer them if I want, so there's that.

cmh6476 773 Posted May 14 That's kind of focking lame for everyone else. Chiefs/ Ravens, Browns/ Cowboys, then everyone gets to hear about another chiefs matchup before anything else comes out.
