16thBBall Fan Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 I think it is more the Joe Burrow effect. Having the Bengals play at 4 puts them more at a time, where more fans would watch Burrows first start. True normally but the first week of the season along with the last week of the season is the only two times all season that both CBS and Fox both televise games at both 1 and 4. The 4:25 Fox game is Tom Brady and Tampa Bay at Drew Brees and the New Orleans that game will be the big draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha Id include LA but no one cares about the chargers in LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincySportsFan Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I don't like division rivals being loaded into one half of the schedule. I think teams should play one game against each division rival in the first half and one in the second half. Right there with you on that. It's one of my pet peeves with regards to scheduling. It seems like it's been happening several years now, and I don't know why. Should be pretty simple to do, so there's no reason why you should play one team twice, before you even play another one once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJAlltheWay24 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 It probably doesn't matter for me because I'm not sure I'll be beer vending, but if we were, I hate how backloaded the home games are. Only 2 home games in the first 6 weeks would have been brutal on the beer man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May need to switch to a coffee/got chocolate vendor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chargers defense is legit. But not only will it be Burrows first start, it will be Justin Herberts first start as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure would be nice if they would. I'm available for a conference call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4 Quarters Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 They haven't. It sure would be nice if they would. I'm available for a conference call. Mike Brown on line one, NFL on line two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of Reason Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 The Chargers defense is legit. But not only will it be Burrows first start, it will be Justin Herberts first start as well. I will be very surprised if Herbert starts that game. I look for Tyrod Taylor as the starter in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I completely forgot that Tyrod was on the Chargers. Tyrod will start that game for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I noticed when looking at the Bengals schedule a little closer 4 of those first 6 games are against teams that in 2019 were in the top 12 in pass rush and with a new QB and probably a shortened pre-season could present some issues.

16thBBall Fan Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 Also a strange thing off topic, but didn't want to start a new thread about it is the Dolphins and Jets play each other in back to back games. They play in week 10 both have a bye in week 11 and then play again in week 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
