Week 16 Bengals SNF So, that's five leaked prime time games and one international game. The league seems to think Miami is a featured team this season.
Not that bad... now we can turn our attention to whether Tua can stay healthy for more than 10-12 games....
That is an interesting quirk and better than a lot of the cross country nonsense we did last year. I also like the late bye, seems like we usually get shafted with a super early one in like week 5 or 6. Five primetime games for as rough as we were last year is an interesting thing to see. I read something by a writer the other day (Poupart maybe) who tried to correlate number of prime time games (and resulting schedule disruptions/short schedules) with losses pretty well. So that could be a negative. I like playing Buffalo early (and not getting them in Orchard Park in December) but not on Thursday. We don't respond to the spotlight. Same goes for Baltimore. Overall, I don't think it's unfavorable, and while I don't think we will be competing for the #1 pick like some people, I don't see us seriously challenging Buffalo either. I'd still like us to be above the Pats and Jests and think that's both possible and reasonable.
