2015 Schedule Release

Haha, funny. I tried to get my wife to get married during the Iron Bowl. Go Vols. Bu

 

Holy crap whats up with this site on my tablet?

 

And most could start for us

 

I hate no late start home games...makes for better tailgating.

 

each to their own but I hate the 3pm starts

literally sucks all day sunday from me


NOW if this was 1999-2000 then that would be ok, but getting abused by tens of thousands of visiting fans for 3 hours while roasting in the sun is not what I want to be doing ALL day, just most of it

 

Agreed. Either play early or play late

 

I hated 3PM games b/c 2 hr drive to stadium for me meant no excuse not to go to church and I wouldn't get home until 9:30 with work early Mon AM,

Both the fixed portion of our schedule (opponents) and the variable (when, where) portion aren't good. 4 home games in a row? Really? Just not interesting to me. Only prime game Jags TNF there? Really? Again?

 

I like this schedule because if we're 0-2 after losing to both Tampa and Cleveland, it's time to tank again.

Seriously... this is the nicest the NFL has ever been to us. 2009 it was pretty apparent they wanted us to get off to a horrible start. I think that was the plan the last couple of seasons too.

And yes, I'm well aware that the schedules are automatic/systematic, but the order is not. A small market team like us?... Just throw 'em to the wolves and end their hopes early on. That's always the way I saw it.

This year, it looks like the NFL actually wants to give us somewhat of a shot early on. They must feel sorry for us.

Road games against other bottom feeders and four home games in a row? I'll take that all day. This is exactly the type of schedule I was hoping for... at least give us a chance at some sort of confidence boost. Of course, it could (and likely will) backfire completely.

I've never seen any team get four home games in a row. Never. Didn't even think that was possible. Granted we are much worse than all four of those teams.

It's pretty obvious the NFL expects that week 1 to be a matchup of Winston vs Mariota.

 

Much easier schedule early than normal for us. Not going to bother trying to predict W's and L's just yet. I will wait until preseason for that. But on the surface it is the easiest schedule we have had in a number of years...particularly the first 1/2 of the season.

 

Could be what is needed to build confidence and gel for second half. But you're right very tough to predict what happens with any team. I think second half is a little easier
