2023 NFL Schedule (All Pats games listed)


I'm gonna be simple-minded here.

This is a word game. If you're not playing at "Home," you're "Away." Any game a team plays outside of its own stadium or arena or playground or whatever, is a game "Away" from "Home."

Arguing that a "Neutral" site is not "Away" from "Home" is like trying to convince people to call a Tomato a "fruit." Yeah, technically a tomato does have seeds and a couple of other characteristics that make it a "fruit" to Botanists, but it's still a "vegetable" to 99.9999% of those who consume it. Similarly, just because neither team is "Home" doesn't make a "Neutral" site anything other than "Away."

Sometimes life is unfair and we have to deal with it.
In college basketball games, you have home games. You have away games. You have neutral games.

These are basic words.

Not very hard.

Basketball fans do NOT struggle at all with these words.

Again, not very hard to understand.

Are you arguing now that there is no advantage to home games? Because--and this may be me--I always thought that crowd noise messing with your offensive signals, forcing you to go to silent counts, well that's a bit of a disadvantage.

Do you NOT agree with that?

Now let's talk about Miami. How many home games are they getting in the 90 degree heat?

The easiest game on that schedule also comes with a flight to Germany. They need to step things up significantly to get in the playoffs this year.

Not really. A huge component of an Away game is that you are playing on your opponents turf and in front of their fans in a more hostile environment. Fans are yelling when you are on offense to disrupt cadences, they are quiet when your opponent is on offense, the refs might feel some pressure from the crowd on certain plays and you get home team calls. If neither team has that advantage or disadvantage, it is neutral and the most sensible way to discuss this.

Plenty of bad calls go against Home teams. I doubt there are enough data to conclude one way or the other on how to evaluate neutral sites in that regard or in most regards for that matter. I'm good with agreeing to disagree.

No need to RAISE your voice or condescend. I'll just agree to disagree and not waste bandwidth on a rant.
 
The NFL dragging this out is idiocy.
They're trending huge on social media just with people guessing and talking about the possibilities. They'll milk that a bit more before releasing the real thing. The quietest 3 months are coming up for a league that's trying hard to be relevant 24/7/365.

Actually it is sheer genius. It should be a nothing burger but instead the NFL dominates the conversation on a day when 3 other sports are playing, 2 of which are in their conference semis.

I'm having a tough time finding a loss on this schedule TBH..
 
Is this a joke?
Could be the toughest schedule I've ever seen in the past 20 years!
They better figure out how to score more than 17 ppg or it's gonna be a long season.
Why can't the Donks game be early in the season when the weather is nice?
Terrible
 
I'm having a tough time finding a loss on this schedule TBH..
yeah...seems as though these opponents will win every game...Miami 2nd game then game 8 IN Miami? Thanx Goonisioner!!!
 
What did we do to deserve weeks 1-5? This is crazy to me that a non-playoff team from last season has this type of schedule
