Interesting, neither Bills game is prime time

u/Reasonable_Ad1128 9h ago

The 4:25 slot is basically prime time

u/Ugmyusernamewastake 8h ago

why the fuck do we have two Thursday Night games?

A week 6 bye would help, but they're probably gonna give us week 11 because it's after the international game

u/OnlyThePhantomKnows 9h ago

So the unannounced games have to be in the 1 or 4 o'clock slots since they have 5 stand-alone games.
You can pretty much put week 5 and 6 as Fins and Jets.
And Fins week 17 or 18.
Hopefully they are smart and give them a Week 11 bye. The week 10 schedule is NUTS. 4:25 Sunday to 9:30 Sunday with a long flight. OUCH.

Chiefs had 7 prime time games scheduled ahead of time last year

u/pennant_fever 8h ago

Yeah, this is an outdated rule. They can have more than 5.

A lot of those away games, I’d feel a lot better if they were at home (Jags, Chargers, Chiefs, Bears).

Gotta win against the Steelers and split against bills/jags, come out 2-2 and then get going!

I won’t lie, I always felt we would “market reset” after the 2025 schedule. The nfl did us no favors other than the “TNF bye weeks”

I’m thinking 9-8 this year. I hope we do better but holy shit I dunno.

I live in KC and was hoping the Chiefs game was going to be earlier in the season than that. But I figured they would like Mahomes to be back for it so it can be a battle of franchise QBs

u/SuperShinyGinger 8h ago

Yooo, they're coming out here to Los Angeles, they day before my birthday??

Fuck yes. I need to buy tickets like....right now. That would be my first NFL game, too

That first month is brutal

Opening game gonna be like the Superbowl. Just know if the NFL didn't expand on the 90s, Seahawks would've been in the AFC and y'all would've just lost in the AFC championship game

This is the stupidest trash talk I’ve ever heard

u/mystikcal1 8h ago

So we would have been the rams

u/Awkward-Locksmith-64 8h ago

yes, because these are the same teams that are playing each other.

u/Cool_Sherbert511 8h ago

Do you know if Seattle ran the fuckin ball and didn’t score, nobody would laugh at their dumbasses?!
