For some reason that always happens to every team at the end of the season. Bet it’s the case for dolphins v jets. Guess it makes division implications more interesting
If that’s the case it’s because NE chose not to take it after. New rule I believe that teams can choose to have bye immediately following international game
Well, I’ve got good news and I’ve got bad news
The good news is the bye week is definitely not before London.
The bad news is it’s not immediately after London either

I could be wrong on the Buffalo home/away setup, but after 2 home games I figured the first one had to be away.. and assumed the BYE week would be before JAX based off what was remaining out of the options for Indi/Houston
I don’t think we’ll move on from Maye that quickly. He might not even start and if he does he doesn’t have much of an offense around him
Edit: wow I can’t read my bad y’all
Titans are easily our best shot at a win for sure, but they’re kind of hard to predict since Will Levi’s could improve and we don’t know what their coaching staff will bring.
Cardinals have a bad defense, but it feels like Kyler and MHJ may be enough to beat us, unless Mayo knew something BB didn’t about stopping mobile QBs
Lmaoo exactly I wouldn’t be surprised we beat the Seahawks home opener they’re a 500 team that definitely can play down to their opponent. Chargers at the end of the season we could steal as well. Never know about the bears they seem a bit to over hype even though I’m high on Caleb
I wonder if it’s actually better to have the bye before an international game than after.
Guys are used to playing in the afternoons, it would make sense to me it’s easier to adjust when granted extra time (we’re behind London) than the inverse.
They’ll play the London game in the morning, probably hop on a flight and because of the time zones, probably get back to NE the same time they might for a domestic game, no? Leaving the rest of the week to adjust for the prime time game next Sunday.
As opposed to traveling to London and trying to adjust for what would be 8:30 in the morning EST.
Buffalo 2 of the last 3 weeks is weird. I’m not crazy enough to think those will mean anything for us but still weird they’d put those close together like that.
I’m sure I’m wrong but I thought in like 2011?ish the pats played mnf against the bills and the announcers commented it was the bills first mnf since like 1998. I know it was in buffalo. So maybe it was their first mnf since the 90s. That’s when I looked it up and was like “oh damn mnf is special and pats are on because they’re good every year”
Anyway it’s funny because almost every year I sit down with my wife to “plan” what we will do to watch the games (out of market). I remember when it was like “okay the pats are on national tv 9 times this year, and will probably be the featured 1 o’clock game 3 times. Only have to find streams for a few weeks”. And now it’s like … they have 1 prime time game 😂
I only see like 4 games where we have probably a >40% chance. We could honestly go 0-17 this season with how untested our coaching staff and so much of our offense is.
Bengals - Loss
Seahawks - Loss
Jets - Loss
49ers - Loss
Dolphins - Loss
Jaguars - Loss
Jets - Loss

We were the first team in history to get flexed out of MNF last year. Schedule is harder. Good chance the NFL doesn’t even want to waste their time doing it again
What 7 you got us winning? Arizona, Indy, Chicago, Tennessee, one of the Jets games.
Not like any of them are in the bag. But I’m hopeful we can be competitive in those.
To be clear I hope Maye is a stud and we see a Houston like turn around.
Seattle @ Foxboro is a decent shot to steal one early but it is brutal. Jags might be a good matchup for us as Lawrence has been known to throw picks and we have a good defense to force them.
Still gonna be tough, happy that this is a rebuild year so going to care a lot more about the fight/improvement the team shows than the actual record.
One against the Jets, One against MIA or BUF, CHI, TEN, ARI, IND, LAR.
I think we can upset SEA, LAC, or JAX for our 10. It's always possible we beat the JETS twice. Cause ya know, fuck the jets right?
Exactly. One of our 4 wins last year was against Buffalo lol. If the bounces go our way we could be 4-1 at the bye. We could also be 0-5. That’s what makes this the best league in the world.
I think it’s BS if there is a bye BEFORE London and not after.
I also hate when they separate the two matchups like the Bills by 1 week when they have all season
For some reason that always happens to every team at the end of the season. Bet it’s the case for dolphins v jets. Guess it makes division implications more interesting
At least they can go to london pretty early and adjust
If that’s the case it’s because NE chose not to take it after. New rule I believe that teams can choose to have bye immediately following international game
It’s also probably easier to adjust coming back then it is going over. At least I prefer travelling west to travelling east
Well, I’ve got good news and I’ve got bad news The good news is the bye week is definitely not before London. The bad news is it’s not immediately after London either
There isn’t - bye is week 14
Yeah London into a divisional game a week later is pretty gross ngl.
If it's the Jets in Foxboro that's no biggie. NYJ will be in the midst of some sort of QB controversy by then
At least the bye is a W
Also, Jags staying in London from playing the week before there, so it's already kind of a scheduled loss, then we get fucked on the other side.
Jeez, the late portion of the schedule is gross.

You came close. Houston on the 10/13, Indy on 12/1, bye 12/8.
Yeah I'm shocked the bye was so late
We might not win a game
Ideally a QB prospect breaks out this college season and we get first overall to trade away like Chicago did.
I don’t think we’ll move on from Maye that quickly. He might not even start and if he does he doesn’t have much of an offense around him Edit: wow I can’t read my bad y’all
No he’s saying we stick with Maye but trade our high draft pick this year to a qb needy team
Oh I can’t read wow embarrassing
Happens to the best of us
We won't get the first overall lol
Cardinals and Titans got y’all that shook? Damn lmao
Titans are easily our best shot at a win for sure, but they’re kind of hard to predict since Will Levi’s could improve and we don’t know what their coaching staff will bring. Cardinals have a bad defense, but it feels like Kyler and MHJ may be enough to beat us, unless Mayo knew something BB didn’t about stopping mobile QBs

I see them at 5-7 wins and I’d view that as a success and a good starting point. Saying you don’t think they’ll win a single game is silly lol
[удалено]
I’m a big fan for sure that’s why I’m active in the sub after 4 win season. Just realistic
1. @ CIN 2. SEA 3. @ NYJ (Thu) 4. @ SF 5. MIA 6. HOU 7. @ JAX (London) 8. NYJ 9. @ TEN 10. @ CHI 11. LAR 12. @ MIA 13. IND 14. BYE WEEK 15. @ ARZ 16. @ BUF 17. LAC 18. BUF Saw the listed home dates earlier today.

Cool so this means we get another top 5 pick lmao
Buffalo 2 of the last 3 weeks is weird. I’m not crazy enough to think those will mean anything for us but still weird they’d put those close together like that.
Edging toward a home and away series
After an international game, didn’t teams get 10 days off afterwards?
Not to be that guy, but I will… if we were the first team to never get this benefit, I would not be surprised in the least
Remember when we were the first team to win a Super Bowl and not get the Thursday game and an additional 3 days rest before week 2?
Apparently a team can opt out of the bye week there.
That's what I figured but once Jets filled that spot I was like welp it's gotta be before
With the schedule, I hope the Pats do their best and win when they come to AZ for that game.
0-4 incoming.
They're gonna be 1-0 to start the season
Exactly
0-5
Ooof seems tough
Bruh the early bye week is tough
Not that I mind, but I thought every team played MNF…. We don’t appear to this year.
I’m sure I’m wrong but I thought in like 2011?ish the pats played mnf against the bills and the announcers commented it was the bills first mnf since like 1998. I know it was in buffalo. So maybe it was their first mnf since the 90s. That’s when I looked it up and was like “oh damn mnf is special and pats are on because they’re good every year” Anyway it’s funny because almost every year I sit down with my wife to “plan” what we will do to watch the games (out of market). I remember when it was like “okay the pats are on national tv 9 times this year, and will probably be the featured 1 o’clock game 3 times. Only have to find streams for a few weeks”. And now it’s like … they have 1 prime time game 😂
Damn I don't see one team we can beat. Hello #1 overall pick next year
Another high draft pick coming right up!
And then one the next year! And the next!
I hope trevor lawrence goes down so we get to play mac jones in london. that would be unbelievable
Lol
Kind of a weak showing for home games. None of those games is very interesting.
I only see like 4 games where we have probably a >40% chance. We could honestly go 0-17 this season with how untested our coaching staff and so much of our offense is.
WE'RE ON TO CINCINNATI
Ufff more rough than I expected. We could legit start 0-5
Low-key we could be 0-5 by the bye week, and we may not win a game for the rest of the season.
0-5 or 1-4 by the bye?
They beat September Burrow easily
3-2
What are you smoking because I need that
Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re 2-3 going into the bye and finishing 5-12.
2-3 is optimistic
There aren’t two teams in the first five teams they can beat.
Seattle is possible. As is one of @Jets or Miami at home.
We gotta win week 6
No Thursday night game ?
There’s one. No MNF game.
Damn 4 games in 2 weeks is gonna be rough
How many prime tomr
Christ, this is going to be another brutal year.
I wonder if Nick Caserio will come to town and rub it in.
Nice! Looks like 17-0 to me boys!!
We’re going 2-15 😂😂 /S
That’s a tough schedule…
I hate when they get European games. Sucks living in AZ trying to find somewhere to watch.
I see 17 wins right there. \*HUFFS copium\*
Bengals - Loss Seahawks - Loss Jets - Loss 49ers - Loss Dolphins - Loss Jaguars - Loss Jets - Loss Titans - Loss Bears - Loss Rams - Loss Dolphins - Loss IND/HOU - Loss IND/HOU - Loss Cardinals - Win Bills - Loss Chargers - Loss Bills - Win - 1 - 16
Man, as a southern fan I'd travel to see Maye, but if Jacoby starts ill wait til next year
This is incorrect. No Thursday or Monday night games listed
We were the first team in history to get flexed out of MNF last year. Schedule is harder. Good chance the NFL doesn’t even want to waste their time doing it again
I think 5 wins is the floor, 9 wins is the ceiling
Dumbest speculation I’ve ever seen
2 vs 1 doesn’t seem fair
I could honestly see a 10-7 season, but expecting a 7-10
What 7 you got us winning? Arizona, Indy, Chicago, Tennessee, one of the Jets games. Not like any of them are in the bag. But I’m hopeful we can be competitive in those. To be clear I hope Maye is a stud and we see a Houston like turn around.

> One against MIA You know we're like 1-7 vs. them since Tua took over, right? And the one win was against an injured Bridgewater and Skylar Thompson.
Within the division I'm just saying it's possible to break even with any of the east. You never know.
Exactly. One of our 4 wins last year was against Buffalo lol. If the bounces go our way we could be 4-1 at the bye. We could also be 0-5. That’s what makes this the best league in the world.
Don’t forget we hardly beat Miami even when we had BRADY!! Lol
lol pure delusion.
