CR91 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 The 17th game of the season is dictated by the opposite conference's standings. NFC South had the Bucs finish second so we'd play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Waylon Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Interesting... Now does this revolve, as in do we play a different NFC region each year, or is it always just South Vs. South? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this year vs south, next North, Next West, then East, then starts over. It is the division you played two years ago. It just so happened we are doing NFC South.

Two things I hope for: It’s a meaningless game for us...and they’re billing it as a possible SB preview. Now, is that too much to ask for? Nah....

NP, this is something that I thought about back when they offered the 17th game in CBA. I just wasnt sure whod be home and away. But ya it is rotation, that way you wont play an NFC team back to back year, unless SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really does keep it from turning into almost like a divisional game every year if two teams keep dominating their division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya the one thing I hope is that after the 4 years they do a flip on who is the home team.

TonyBungee Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I know money drives everything, but I think the 17th game is a mistake. I like cutting one preseason game, but I think they'd be better off adding a 2nd bye week for each team. You'd still have an 18-week regular season, but it might give guys a chance to give their bodies a little break & make it through the season a little healthier.

We already have an extra playoff game.. they just gotta keep things normal for awhile. We don't even know if fans are going to be attending games yet. And we just added another one?

Otherwise, it will clash with the years you are playing that division. 2021 season - NFC South similar placed team for 17th game (played entire division in 2019, 2 years removed and 2 years away from playing again) 2022 season - NFC North similar placed team for 17th game (played entire division in 2020, 2 years removed and 2 years away from playing again) 2023 season - NFC West similar placed team for 17th game (played entire division in 2021, 2 years removed and 2 years away from playing again) 2024 season - NFC East similar placed team for 17th game (played entire division in 2022, 2 years removed and 2 years away from playing again) That makes the most logical sense. Home field probably alternates in any set of 4 years (home, away, home, away) followed by away, home, away, home against the NFC divisions.

shasta519 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Next year's schedule is going to a true test, assuming some of these teams don't fall off. In no order....TB, TEN x2, BUF, NE (who knows...but always tough), MIA, SF, LAR, SEA, AZ, BAL, LV And this assumes that HOU and JAC are still bad. HOU is very likely to be really bad...but if Lawrence turns out to be the real deal...JAC will be better...and they always seem to win one game against the Colts every year anyways. This team will definitely be battle-tested by the time January rolls around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team will definitely be battle-tested by the time January rolls around. Battle tested is a plus and minus. All the years of playing the less than stellar AFC South and AFC East gave Peyton and Brady vying for HFA during their prime years, IMO. Yeah, you could sprinkle in a few division leaders here and there they had to face but having a weak division has always helped in the long scheme of things, that is, if you can cash in. Brady cashed in on HFA far better than Peyton did. Same with RW and the Seahawks even if it was more fleeting than the Patriots w.r.t years of dominance. AFC North teams just beat up each other and eventually came up short more often than not because they had to go on the road constantly. Good for 1 upset typically but then, going on the road constantly had its downfalls. Times are different now, at least last year and possibly in 2021 with HFA not meaning much and being a lower seed not that detrimental but the #1 seed still has the rest no one else gets.

I know he plays for a division rival but he is an amazing RB and the best since Peterson in his prime. Always a fan of dominate players and being able to see them break records!!
