kleese Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 Based on the Thanksgiving leak, here is Mock 2.0… this is also accounts to make sure no conflicts with the announced overseas games.

Warhead36 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Jets/Dolphins will be the Black Friday game. Could potentially shatter ratings records. 16 minutes ago, kleese said: That is an old practice… they generally have stuck to it but there have been exceptions in recent years to that rotation.

Yep just heard Sheehan repeat that fact too. I think now that networks are no longer restricted to specific conferences there is going to be a lot more freedom and flexibility with what games are shown on each station. Since the NFC is lacking QB star power after Philly I could see CBS getting more of the big time matchups this year, but then FOX getting more the year after once Brady becomes their A team commentator.

Dal@ss is getting the AFC opponent, most likely the Jets or Patriots @ home on Thanksgiving this year In recent years, they have done all NFC games on Thanksgiving for both the Lions and Cowboys games, regardless of network. I could see Commanders-Cowboys on Thanksgiving. The Jets are an attractive option for Thanksgiving, since they go to Dallas this year, but that game looks like an SNF game, or an early season 4:25 Doubleheader marquee game. The only other teams that go to Jerry's world outside of the NFC East are the Patriots, Jets, Lions, Rams and Seahawks. The Eagles and Giants games will probably be on SNF or MNF, so our game against them would fit better for Thanksgiving. You could put any team in that slot against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, and it will deliver big time ratings.

Warhead36 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 They tend to give Dallas perceived easier opponents on Thanksgiving so we'd be a safe bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally how ever we do 1 season in division it’s the opposite the next… i.e our 1st game with Philly last season was home, and the 2nd game was up there, same with Dallas, we played first there then closed out here… so if it holds true we will play Dallas home 1st and Philly on the road 1st and Giants home 1st and then there etc…. So that schedule you posted is more then likely not accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that schedule you posted is more then likely not accurate I don't think there is any real rhyme or reason to that. It'd be impossible to organize in that fashion for every team every year. Chiefs schedule is starting to leak. They play the Bengals New Years Eve. Also play the Dolphins Week 9 in Germany, so that rules the Dolphins out as a Week 9 opponent for us(and probably 10 also since they'd likely be on a bye).

NoVaSkins21 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 With new ownership incoming (here's hoping) it's possible this could get a boost in the amount of exposure this team gets on the national stage.

RabidFan Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Not knowing, but do other divisions always end with a fury of in division opponents each season? I know we are unique in that there has rarely been back to back division winners this century in the NFC east so didn't know if that was a part of it.

That was something the league initiated a couple of years ago. It didn’t used to be like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivera is still our coach and we didn't really move the needle at all with our free agency moves/draft like the Jets and Saints did. Our QB situation is still one of the worst in the league, so that right there limits us from getting a decent amount of primetime games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dal@ss is getting the AFC opponent, most likely the Jets or Patriots @ home on Thanksgiving this year They used to only have that rule of alternating AFC/NFC opponents because it satisfied the TV contracts of CBS/Fox (i.e. they each got a game, and they got Dallas/Detroit in alternating years). The NFL has been loosening the AFC/NFC split of the contracts for a while now-- I think a 49ers-Cowboys game was on CBS in the past few years, and the announcer even made a joke about sticking around for "Murder She Wrote," after the game. That AFC/NFC split is completely gone this season-- any game can be on any network, so the NFL is no longer beholden to forcing certain matchups on Thanksgiving.

Despite finishing 8-8-1 last year, we aren't top tier nor a bottom tier team. We are just a mediocre 7-8 win team. If Ron finishes the season, that will be his final record. 7-10 or 8-9. We are the 4th best team in the division. Besides the rest of the nfc east; Detroit, Minny, New Orleans, Seattle and San Francisco- despite questions at QB if Purdy can't play early. Beasts of the East? Never. The last 2 times we made the playoffs as NFc east winners, the rest of the division collapsed. That isn't happening. So, the nfl isn't going to give us more than 2 games on national tv. If we surprise and do well, we could always get flex into a better timeslot.

actorguy1 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 It's always a double edged sword for me when this team gets popular. More popular means more prime time games. I hate waiting for them and I hate staying up for them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he retires in 25 years josh harris is going to erect a 100 foot tall statue in his honor symbolizing the greatest era in sports history.
