It'll be interesting to see what the Patriots look like and what the AFC West and NFC South look like as well.

Just knowing that BB and Brady will still be here and I would guess another AFC East Title and no worse than 10-6. All of the Patriots skill players except for Blount (FA) will be back.

The schedule is essentially the same as Miami's

And they get to play the Raiders in Mexico City. Better off in London.

So it's essentially a home game by default for the Raiders.

 

[SDGuy73]

The Falcons come to Gillette. Should be interesting.

I recommend dark, laser resistant faceshields for the game in Mexico City.... since Mike Kensil has been demoted to operations, NFL International, that fucknut will probably be passing lasers out like candy for that game.

@Denver for the third year in a row, wtf!?

Colts fans had your same response when they had to keep going to Gillette.

Before this run of 3 straight in Denver there was a run of 3 straight in Gillette. Just how it works sometimes. It isn't the perfect home one season and away the next season. Some of it has been just because we have both finished at the top of our divisions most seasons and then now this 3rd one in a row is because the last time our 2 divisions played each other we had to go to Gillette.

IF you include playoffs since 2012 the Broncos and Patriots have played each other 8 times with 4 being in Gillette and 4 being in Denver. 3 of those were playoff games decided by playoff seeding and Broncos have had 2 home games compared to 1 for the Patriots. So actual scheduling it has been 3 home games for the Patriots to only 2 for the Broncos until this next season ties it up.

AFC West will be tough. Also, this whole superbowl rematch as the first game of the season has to be the dumbest idea the NFL has come up with in a long time. And that is saying something considering some of the dumb shit the NFL has come up with over the years.

First game hasn't been announced yet. Good chance it could be a rematch, but not guaranteed due to a lot of other factors involved.

 

[redseat]

Should be interesting next season that's for sure

LOL. It's a great idea, business wise.
You lose most of your base after the SB, bring em' back with the rematch!

I like the rematch concept. Revenge for one team and a prove it wasn't a fluke for the other.
ONE MORE

Cause winning a game early in the season totally makes up for losing a Super Bowl.

No not at all. But it could lessen the burn.

 

[CreepCreep2014]

Ya, I am all set with the Falcons week 1. Rather have it on a Sunday night in the middle of the season when playoffs could be on the line. I would rather have a Division foe come in for week 1.

 

[Southieinnc]

I'd like the Patriots to play the Raiders in the 1st game.
The game will be 200 miles north of here. No wait, 200 miles south of here. Wait will they be 200 miles east of here?
I get it, the game plan of the Raiders is for the Patriots not to be able to find them.....
