I Hate the NFL (Schedule Thread)

[EDGECRUSHER]

It's a hard schedule by 2022 standards with only one "cupcake" game against the Panthers. However, everyone in the AFC East has a similar schedule so it's not like the league is targeting us.

We're just going to have to stay healthy and play up to our talent level. I truly feel our roster is Superbowl level, just need to stay healthy and get some good bounces, like all championship teams do. No one touches our receivers or secondary when they're healthy.

That makes sense, although never discount the emotional feeling of starting off strong.

I'm counting on this to sink the Jets. Their first 6 games are Buffalo, Dallas, New England, Kansas City, Denver and Philly. If they have like 2 wins by this time New York may be calling for Rodgers' head. hahaha

That's what we do in NY, find a scapegoat and blame everything on them unmercilessly. If Rodgers struggles in his first 6 games, you will see calls for Zach Wilson to start. "The kid has a future, Rodgers is the past!".

It really sucks that we finally have a top 10 defense and offense but are playing one of, it not the toughest schedule we've ever had.

Given the opponents, I think this is a great schedule for us. We don't have to face Denver @ Mile High or KC @ Arrowhead. The away games against all 3 division rivals are all before it turns really cold. We get both Jets games in the second half of the season when the chance that they have imploded is substantial. The bye placement right smack in the middle is also nice.

Sure, an early home gain against one of the top teams would have been nice, but if we're struggling to make the playoffs, that last-round game at home against the Bills might seem like a gift if they're resting players.
