If we would have won the Super Bowl last year, the only opponent I would see as worthy enough to have opened on Thursday against is Dallas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets getting a home primetime game week 1 is basically a lock. Chiefs will be playing Thursday which leaves Bills as the obvious choice, looking at their home opponents. Edit: interesting, I looked back and Bradys debut in TB was actually a non prime time road game. So maybe not a lock for week 1. But I think we'll be playing a primetime game in New Jersey sometime in the first two weeks. Edited April 30, 2023 by Process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not positive but I do remember hearing that. Correct. Mike North said the NFL crew does listen if a team has played a few years in the same spot and had some frustration. It was not just MIA last year, 2020 was nearly as hot just had rain and actually had a delay due to lightning. Without giving away too much of my prediction (preview/prediction tomorrow) with Miami making the playoffs, adding Ramsey, and the fact teams finish week 18 vs a division opponent I am guessing Buffalo finishes in Miami week 18 with a possible flex to being the SNF game. I can easily see the NFL guys pegging it as a possible division crown battle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sullim4 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 (edited) The one thing to watch for this year - it's the first year of the new media contract. The concept of AFC games on CBS and NFC games on Fox is largely dead. Each network will be able to select games from their traditional conference that will be televised on that network. All other games are up for grabs. This goes beyond the cross-flexing we've seen during the last contract. Expect a lot of 1pm non-headliner games to be on the non-traditional network to try to balance the network lineups - stuff like Falcons/Bucs might end up on CBS when FOX has a bunch of stinkers, and Browns/Broncos might end up on FOX if CBS has a boatload of bad games: https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2023/01/nfl-media-rights-deals-refresher-monday-night-abc-espn-sunday-ticket-youtube/ Quote According to John Ourand in Sports Business Journal, “Starting in ’23, FOX and CBS will identify a specific number of teams that it wants to carry for a specific minimum of games. It is not known how many teams or games are part of this process, which will occur at some point before the official schedule release.” Ourand explains that as FOX still has the NFC package, they will only pick NFC teams, while CBS, still having the AFC package, will only pick AFC teams. So while fans can still expect a heavy dose of NFC teams on FOX and AFC teams on CBS, the NFL will have greater flexibility to put games on whichever network they want. NFL VP of Broadcast Planning Mike North says regarding scheduling for the 2023 season, “All games are jump balls, all games are free agents.” For fans accustomed to the current AFC/NFC split, there will be some confusion initially. But on the whole, this new setup will allow the NFL flexibility to put the best games in the best time slots, regardless of conference affiliation.

That's ridiculous, and what's it going to take, a heat-stroke collapse sending one of our linemen to the hospital and out for the season, or worse, to get the league involved. Yeah, that'll be a great look, NFL player dies at Hard Rock Stadium due to unreasonable dangerous life-threatening conditions contrived by Dolphins. Miami should be made to play at home in their own intolerable heat conditions at least once every September. Perhaps have to alternate sides of the field arbitrarily in September and October. I guess that's what they think that they need to win games. Sad really. Definitely not sportsmanlike, quite the opposite in fact. If there were any justice we should be allowed to freeze their benches when they come here. There is no equivalent way to take advantage of the cold given the league rules.

Point taken though, we won't be able to sleep on too many teams on our schedule. While the home schedule is light, the Jets now have Rodgers and we split with both Miami and the Jets last season. Who knows what the Pats will bring, but Belichick is better than McD. Jax came on strong to finish their season 7-2, Lawrence will be in his third season and made strides last season. The Raiders now have Garoppolo and the Giants seem to be up and coming too, Daboll will want to win that game.

On paper we're better than all three divisional opponents and we have Allen.

Robert Paulson Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 5 national night games, 1-2 Black Friday/England games, 3 4:00-4:25 starts, 2 flex games leaves 5-6 1:00 Sunday starts. wishful thinking to think we are 1:00 Sunday more than that.
