5 out of the last 6 years. 4 of the 5 on the road. 2-3. You'd figure the geniuses at the NFL offices would get creative. But not when the almighty advertising dollar is at stake.
with opening the season with in-division games for a long time now. They are too important and the lack of practice time and fear of injury during preseason makes week 1 games usually suck. Play non-conference games week 1. They matter least and let's players get into game speed.
but the bigger issue with the schedule this year is the Giants dont give their fans a sunday home game until October. That's simply a slap in the face to loyal customers.
Anyway, with everyone now convinced Carson Wentz is Canton bound, maybe they'll send the Eagles to Jerry World for next years opener.
but 4 of the past 5 years have been AT Dallas. Conference opponents should alternate every year - home then away, away then home. Don't why they don't do it that way.
I think we would have lost last night at METLIFE, as well. I don't think venue made a difference, perhaps offensive chemistry with new players was a factor and yes, if we played Dallas in Dallas a few weeks from now, just maybe we would have shown much better on O. It's hard to say.
At the end of the game last night, I said to my friend, "well, if nothing else, hopefully this boring game convinced the schedule-makers to put something else next year Sunday Night Week 1."
The NFL schedule-maker appears to be the most boring, uncreative son of a bitch on the planet. I actually wouldn't mind seeing him (whoever he is) get physically harmed at this point. These games Sunday night Week 1 aren't even exciting anymore. It's not only the time slot, but the opponent, as well. Give BOTH teams something new Week 1. It's not that hard.
