Upcoming Off-Season Thread

[QB Eagles]

Jets Week 4.... what a surprise.

[MDS]

No New England?

Eagles/Pats week 1, book it

they have the jets and have played teams in the preseason they were going to face in the regular season.....preseason schedule often is stupid and makes 0 sense

but yes, im feeling eagles/pats opener

[ice grillin you]

no lagarrett blount!!!

SB winners versus the team that generated the most offseason headlines (so far). I think it's happening.

pitt is the other option....they wont have bell and that matchup can be saved for a CBS DH later in the year. cbs has fewer $$ afc-afc games and they generally keep them all. remember, they are losing brady-manning this year (or should, at least) so id suspect they wont want to lose NE-PIT, too.

no chance the schedule hasn't been finalized for weeks.

you know far more about the in and outs of the tv sked reasons why a certain team would be chosen but leveon bell missing the game has zero impact.....nfl trancends individual players...its what makes it so incredible...not a single person would not watch that game because leveon bell is out...not even sure if brady being out would matter

its probably pretty close....the opener has definitely been selected

the order of games id reckon is set. the last matter is the networks battling for who gets what game.

yes and no....the rating wont change for bell (but it will for brady)

the nfl does want a good game in the opener, though. they want a good matchup with good teams. if they didnt care they would put the dolphins or something there. but theres a reason the steelers and eagles are the 2 in the running for the spot.

Patriots fans wouldn't watch if there was a competing Red Sox game on.

Or a Bruins non mandatory conditioning session that was being televised.

[BigEd76]

Polk's RFA offer was rescinded, so he's a UFA now

[PhillyPhreak54]

Mildly surprising.
