    NFL Schedule: Released May 7

    Reading through Twitter this morning -IF THE PERSON ON TWITTER HAS GOOD INTEL -- it looks as if the NFL is preparing for 10, 12 or 16 game schedules. I forgot to save who wrote the tweet but as best as I can remember it will be as follows - seeming the NFL wants the least important games first and it does make a lot of sense:

    Weeks 1-4: non conference games. So for the Chargers and AFCW this is the NFC South

    Weeks 5-6: the two games each team plays the other teams in the division don't play. The Chargers finished last so they would play the last place finishers in the AFCN (Bengals) and AFCS (Jags). The Chiefs get the Ravens and Texans. So big advantage, Chargers. I think the Broncos get Steelers and Colts - not easy either

    Weeks 7-10: I forgot the games, meaning division or against conference foes (AFCE) but these would include bye weeks
    the rest of the season would be the conference games and for sure the last three games are division games


    Now, week 1 - my guess is the NFL would want to showcase Brees v Mahomes or Brady v Mahomes in KC that Thursday night. I can see the Chargers getting the leftovers of Brady or Brees but hoping for the Falcons or Panthers

    And based on this - would really like to have a 12 game season - such an advantage playing the Jags and Bengals this year!

            teams can release at 730ET/430PT and both NFLN and ESPN shows will start at 8PM ET/5PM PT

            So Chargers media will release at 430

              The schedule release is on NFLN at 5pm Pacific. I like that idea of the phased schedule with the important divisional and common conference games played at the end of the season.

                I was wrong -- or the person I copied from twitter. I really liked the idea of the NFCS games first.

                I would still think the important games are later

                Sounds like the Chargers might play the Broncos on MNF to open the season and the Chargers do play at the Saints on MNF in October.

                  I have read that maybe Denver on MNF to open the season but that seems like the NFL would want the Raiders on MNF to open the new field.
                  I personally am not a fan of that late game on MNF to open the season

                  At Cincinnati would be perfect.

                        this is what has been said all day on NFL radio....... if that is true then NFL is not putting the unimportant AFC vs NFC games first in case season is delayed.....

                        starting out with all the less important games would be less entertaining but smarter in case start of season has to be delayed and it also give teams more time to get football ready for the games that are more important.....

                        in last several years, with few if any starters playing any in pre season, it has taken the first 4 games for teams to start tackling better and playing like professionals..... like the first 4 games have become the real pre season..... lol
