gonzo1105 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) Russell Wilson is so overrated imo. He was good for like a 3 year stretch. He always starts out well and then he fades down the stretch. Broncos probably have the best overall roster in the AFC West but I bet they still finish 3rd Edited May 11, 2022 by gonzo1105 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be cool to see them get the exposure (do we even need it at this point?), but LA in November or December would be a great away game trip. I will be relieved if it is not the Bills. Do not want to play defending SB champs on opening night. Don’t care if the Bills might be better on paper.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) I predict Titans at home week 2, wouldn't shock me to see it even played on Monday night! 6 hours ago, Greg S said: I think the entire AFCW is going to dominate primetime this year. I consider the 4:25 games as a prime time game. The fact that 3 of the 4 teams plays their normal home games in the 4:00 hour makes it easy for them to have more exposure. Some can still end up the regional 4:05 start, but does give them a leg up on the 4:25 start times.

I would like to face a top team week 1. Agree 100%. Better to get that long west coast trip out of the way, and more importantly, IMO, week one is completely unpredictable. Yes LA will be pumped up for this game, but so will we. And I think that the unpredictability of the game will benefit the defenses more than the offenses, and I would LOVE to see Von collect two or three sacks right out of the gate, on his way to a 16 sack season.

Richard Noggin Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 For those discussing how the 17th game SHOULD be selected, given the lack of preexisting protocol: first, help me understand how the following is NOT a solid criterium? One interconference game based on the prior year's standings on a rotating four-year cycle (one game). These games match a first-place team from one division against a first-place team in an opposite conference division that the team is not scheduled to play that season. The second-place, third-place and fourth-place teams in each division are matched in the same way each year. The home conference for this game will rotate each season. This seems to me like the next logical extension of the established scheduling hierarchy/protocol, seeking equity AND more diverse interconference matchups. What I'm seeing some posters suggest is so finnicky and unpredictable and difficult to justify if equity is at all important (mostly specific player-based matchups, including grudge matches with recently moved players facing last year's teams and elite QBs squaring off even though they don't actually see the field at the same time). A team's scheduled opponents should NOT be emotionally chosen. When the logically selected games are played and at what times CAN be divvied up to maximize fan interest. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
