2 home 2 away schedule

[sprhawk73]

How do you feel about this 2 away, 2 home schedule?

2 away games week 3 and 4
2 home games week 7 and 8
2 away games week 14 and 15
2 home games week 16 and 17

Not as strange as the season they went 8-8. win 2, lose 2, rinse and repeat the entire season.

I remember that season. In other words, Good Krieg Good Krieg, Bad Krieg Bad Krieg.

I’d prefer a consistent schedule across the league.
Obviously that’s impossible with a 17 game season, but as consistent as it can be.

I concur with having as even a season as possible for every team. Home field in the early part of the season is a bigger advantage than late season home field advantage so any team starting with 2 home games and finishing with 2 road games would have a big advantage. The NFL should be looking to get as close to HRRH RHHR as possible in its scheduling.

With a 17 game season all home for 1 conference in the 17th game was less unfair than the alternatives.

Pacific Time teams are obviously at a geographical and jet lag issue disadvantage with 5 Eastern Time games 3 years out of 4. If those teams want to play back to back Eastern Time games so they can stay out East for the week then they should have that opportunity. If they specifically don't then it should be avoided in the scheduling where possible.

As long as we don't have 3 consecutive road games, I don't worry a lot about schedule. Nothing we can do about it anyway.
