2019 NFL Schedule Releasing Soon

[Joemailman]

2 damn Thursday night games counting the opener. I can't stand Thursday night football.

I don't like them either, but at least the opener doesn't force them to play on 4 days rest. And having 2 Thursday games does mean they have an extra mini-bye.

I tried using "net rest differential" as an excuse but my wife wasn't buying it.

I’m calling dibs on the Official Week 1 Game Day thread.

Don’t wanna give thunderdan the opportunity to start the game day thread for 19-something straight weeks. Dude thinks he’s so much better than us humble peons cos he has season tickets.

Just think, 15 years ago I was a peon just like you. Then I met my wife and got to start going to games.

Of course my company has 4 seats up in the Champions Box now.

Oakland and Denver for the Gold Package games this year.

No. 2 and 5.

No. 2 and 5.

man, I have refrigerator magnets of schedules going back to when the gold package began, my wife's family has gold package tix, and I would have sworn to god it was games #2 and #6. Memory is a weird thing.

So you and Dan . . . Gold members.

As for the rest differential business, I wonder if that's a byproduct of trying to market the most popular/successful brands/teams, or if it's an attempt to use the rest differential as another means of evening the playing field.

It was 2 and 6 at one time. I think they switched it to 5 to reduce chances of people traveling from southern Wisconsin and Illinois having to make the trek in wintry weather.
