Gretz quite your bitching. Scheduling formula has alot to do with who plays who each year and
building TV ad money.

Fox/CBS pay alot to show the games they want good match ups.

Good point about the flex scheduling.

If things break right, the San Diego and Tennessee games are very realistic possibilities to be moved to SNF, as well as the Indy and Denver road games.

I could care less about the schedule as far as who we play when we play them.

The thing that pisses me off is the exposure some of these teams get in prime time games. Give me a break Dallas in 7 prime time games? Denver in 5? In Fact Denver has 2 sets of back to back prime time games.

I guess that block buster last year Chiefs at Denver 9-6 OT game
sealed that as a NON-PRIMETIME chance. where before we often got a
PT game with Denver.

ESPN was touting the Denver/Green Bay game as one of the best games of the upcoming season.

I'm just glad we don't have a prime-time game at Denver this year. I think we had about 5 in a row before last year, and it was always an automatic loss (except for when we had the GQBOAT).

There is no such thing as a easy schedule in the NFL but it is kinda BS IMO that.

"The Chiefs are the only team in the league that begins the season with three of their first four games on the road. They are also the only team that begins and ends its season with three of four games on the road."

That being said good teams win on the road.

Guess it is time for the Chiefs to put up or

....

We need to learn to actually win road games in December anyway, so why not play them...

It's been that time for about 20 years.

The Chiefs need to go 2 and 2 in their first 4 games. With Houston on the road and Minnesota at Arrowhead, it is easily doable. Then they play their strong home stretch. Time to build up a lofty record. That should put them in the thick of the playoff race going into their final 4 games. It's all up to them. No excuses.

The league likes offense and high scoring games. The idea of Croyle, Huard, Herm and Solari doesn't instill confidence in scoring lots of points.

Well, that explains the Bears.

I'll make it easy for you since you like playing the dunce card. Super Bowl appearance = television coverage the next season. Marquee players (especially on offense), big market teams, teams with national followings = television. Playing in a small market in the midwest on a team that hasn't done squat in the playoffs in 15 years without flashy or outspoken players and on a team with a boring scheme = no television.
