RandyMarsh Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 That would be a nice start to the schedule, we'd get KC at arguably the best time, games you should win against ATL, GB and Carolina and most importantly we'd get to possibly settle the all important Seattle debate early!

Motown Bombers Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Playing Chicago before the Thanksgiving game is like having a BYE week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 If that MNF game is true I think it shows that it is more due to the Lions than anything cause although the Raiders have a loyal fanbase I think it has died down a bit since they moved to LV, not to mention they weren't in the Cowboys Packers, Steelers or Brady team to begin with so they weren't the type of team you can just stick on MNF unless they are playing a quality opponent.

Motown Bombers Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 The Raiders don't project to be a great team. Garoppolo will probably be injured by week 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Atlanta will be better than a lot of people expect this year. They seem to be building something over there, although we should certainly be ahead of them in that build, especially early in the season. We also always seem to play bizarre and close games against them. The Stafford comeback after Gurley accidentally scored, the clock runoff game, the game in London where a delay of game penalty gave Prater two tries at winning it as time expired... Even 2021 was a game that came down to the final minute as Tim Boyle tried to lead us to a comeback win. Who will have more APYs in that game? Bijan or Gibbs?

MichiganCardinal Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 All that’s missing from this update is at Baltimore and the bye. Looking to be a favorable bye week though, better than the stupid early or stupid late ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP_Fan Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share Posted May 11, 2023 Looks like week 7 Bal, week 9 bye. Smack dab for the bye. That’s nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Week 7 would be a good week to have a BYE since they get Williams back and will have an extra week to get him integrated into the offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I read that the suspension bars him from team facilities for the first three weeks of the regular season, but that he can still participate in training camp and the preseason, and can request permission from the NFL to resume workouts and meetings in team facilities at week four. Between training camp, preseason, and weeks 4-6, I don’t think he should need a significant transition period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I can easily see them 5-1 heading into week 7. At Baltimore and the Chargers back to back could be tricky. I think Denver is going to be better than expected so that close to the season of Denver, Dallas and Minnesota x2 could be rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Looking at road games where weather could be a factor, Kansas City, Green Bay, Chicago and Baltimore,, only Chicago is late in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Sharpfootball has the schedule rankings up based on Vegas o/u win totals and based on that the Lions have the 8th easiest. No that methodology isn't perfect but I feel it's better than just looking at last year's records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Full MNF schedule, this year they have the option to flex games like they do with SNF so we could possibly end up with more than the 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_R Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Looks like four in prime time not including thanksgiving and a couple that could be flexed. The NFL is all in on Dan Campbell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I guess you don't know for sure how teams are going to look but at first glance going by expectations the slate of MNF games looks alot better this year than it did last year. Last year if felt like most of the games were either lopsided or between two bad teams. Didn't feel like many were your typical Prime Time game that you think of.

If you go by ratings last year those games were actually watched more than the prime time games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
