With the draft in the rear view mirror and the schedule release coming in two weeks, I figured this was a good time for a discussion about what you think a best case scenario for next season would look like. As we know, the league will likely do everything in their power to screw the Fins over, so this is a good time for fantasy and positivity before then.
Here's my take: JETS @ Cleveland LA CHARGERS @ Pittsburgh @Buffalo WASHINGTON @ Carolina VS Tampa Bay in Madrid BYE NEW ORLEANS @ New England @ Jets BUFFALO @ Carolina @ Indianapolis NEW ENGLAND @ Atlanta BALTIMORE My thought being that a Week 1 game vs a hated division rival who has a new head coach and QB is a great way to get off to a good start. Make them sweat in the 1pm heat. Get the away games at Buffalo, Cleveland and Pittsburgh out of the way early, so the elements aren't a factor, and the Chargers never travel well to Miami, so its an advantage there. I'm a believer that all of the international games should be AFC/NFC, and this means that TB fans can't try to take over JRS with the game in Spain. Then come home to one of the weaker teams in the league after the bye, followed by getting the trips to NJ and NE out of the way before its too cold, and have the dome trips late in the year. And if we're still alive for the playoffs come Week 18, then we face the Ravens for positioning then when it matters the most.
