Griever 370 Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 Week 1 has been released, why I'm not really sure. The full slate of games is scheduled to be released at 7:45PM tonight (5/12) Looks like we open @ home against the Viqueens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Griever 370 Posted May 12 Author Report Share Posted May 12 Some quick thoughts on this. - We open at home, for the second season in a row. Who would've thought? - This will be a battle of "former" teams; Zim will be returning to the Jungle, Reiff will be playing against his former team. - Feels like this is a pretty tough draw for the Bengals wk 1 even though we're at home, their defense could be tough. Stopping their running game will be an early test for our def too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

saphead 1,185 Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 So even with the stupid ass 17 game schedule the season still starts the same week of Sept. as usual? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with your sentiment about the 17 game schedule...16 games just had such good symmetry and preserved the record book for a long long time. There are plenty of other reasons why 16 is superior. I won't rant about it anymore here though. That is a good question though, I feel like they are essentially replacing one preseason game with a regular season game, and yet the season seems to be starting at the same time? I would think they would make the start earlier rather than extend the playoffs (and essentially the superbowl) til later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The league doesn't want to start before Labor Day so they pushed the end of the schedule back and cut off what would have been preseason game 1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
