BUT: The scheduling bias' favoritism of the east coast isn't even obfuscated. Teams in the west get hosed with the majority of scheduling nightmares. My favorite is the rule ol' Rog passed when he first took office that prevents east coast teams from having to travel west more than twice a year. This is why Pittsburgh hasn't played in Seattle for, what, like 11 years?

Also . . . you haven't actually looked at our schedule OR you don't know that they are playing in an open air stadium in Minneapolis in December at 10 AM PST.
Why not play somewhere like Cincy on a short week? They did . . . after a Monday night game, they played at Cincinnati at 10 AM PST. That is further evidence that you have not actually reviewed our schedule.
Objectively, the Seahawks schedule is one of -- if not the -- most difficult in the league. The first half of the schedule was brutal for a team coming off of back-to-back Super Bowl runs: back-to-back road games at St. Louis and at Green Bay, and then back-to-back games against undefeated Cincinnati and Carolina. Five road games in the first eight weeks and four teams with an extra week to prepare for us coming off byes.

ringless":11jpogtw said:Anyways you guys are back to back Super Bowl contenders. Really not much to complain about.
At the end of the day you guys have a great team, and have had great success. Don't nitpick the little things like this. Good teams rise to the challenge When you are having success embrace it. This is .Net, not the webzone.

Right, cause that's what the league office does in the off season..............focuses all of it's efforts on keeping the Seattle Seahawks down.
"Listen guys, we have a LOT on our agenda today. Greg Hardy choked the shit out of his GF, Ray Rice beat his up in an elevator, Tom Brady's deflating footballs, Bellicheck might be cutting coach's headsets off during games, London wants more games, we gotta move the extra point back, the competition committee has like 50 rule changes for next year.......................BUT WE'RE NOT DEALING WITH ANY OF THAT CRAP, WE GOTTA WORRY ABOUT THREE STRAIGHT BYE WEEK OPPONENTS FOR THE SEAHAWKS, HOW DO WE MAKE THAT HAPPEN!!!!
For real, the insane conspiracy crap that this forum cranks out on a weekly basis is mind boggling. Some of you guys need therapy.

We are coming off a week 9 bye. I'm sure some will disagree, but IMO, that's pretty ideal.
Our next 3 games in a row are at home.
Our next road game is December 6th. Our last road game was November 1st. We will have gone over a month without having to travel.
I wonder how many other teams get the benefit of not having to travel or play an away game for over a month in the middle of the season? Seems like they did us a pretty big favor. What a great opportunity for this team to get rolling and carry that into the final month of the season and the playoffs.
But nah, they're out to get us and totally went out of their way to make our schedule as difficult as possible. :34853_tinfoil:

Our next three opponents all have their byes before they play us. That is crap.... The Panthers had their bye earlier in the year before they played us. There are eight weeks where teams have a bye and during 4 of them, our opponents have their bye before they play us..
