NFL VP of Broadcast: We gave the Chiefs hardest schedule in the league

[RunKC]

All the more reason to add a 2nd bye week. Every team should have one in the first and second half of the season.

Weeks 5-8 and 12-15 would be ideal

If you actually listen to it, he's not saying they gave the Chiefs the hardest schedule. He's parroting other people who are saying that because of the days of the week they're playing. And it's all in the context of making a point that the schedule isn't going to define who the good and bad teams are (a lame point, of course, given that it can shave around the edges in a meaningful way).

Yeah, and the biggest thing that stands out to me is the "too bad" attitude. Basically states that the Chiefs have come to expect getting screwed because they are such a marketing force, so they won't complain too much.

He says they probably gave them the hardest schedule mostly because they will be in the playoffs anyway. As you said though that is lame and there needs to be general fairness involved.

The NFL makes this alot harder than it should be, for example the bye weeks make it more complicated. Instead of doing what the other leagues do and have a mid season week break they stagger everyone then throw in Thursday night games and holiday games now it just to much.

Yeah outside of 3 games. Schedules are set. Those 3 games are competitive and rivalry games now.

No one should bitch about scheduling.

But that bye week and overall schedule time sucks for us.

Either add another bye week or put everyone's eyes in the middle of the season. 3 week window.

This all day long.

If you want these teams to play on shot weeks and travel over seas then add the second bye which gives you another week of football with the same number of games

I like this idea. A lot.
Too bad we're not in charge.

We already get a 2nd bye week. It's the week the Broncos travel to Arrowhead.
