Late bye. Only 4 short weeks (two Thursdays and and two Mondays).
The short weeks before the Thursday nighters (at Ravens and Browns) are the Raiders & at Tennessee. Do that is fairly doable. It sucks to have 2 division games on short rest, but the Ravens & Browns are in the same boat, so it will be equal footing. Browns have the Chiefs the Sunday before our Thur. Ravens have the Broncos.
After our Monday nighter vs Washington we travel to Carolina. That is nice.
After going to Dallas on Monday, we have Tenn, then the Thur nighter. 3 games in 13 days stinks, but it is only 1 day short of normal, and is shortly after our bye. And we get 10 days before Denver and then a normal week for the last one.
I am as well and agree with you Ike. There might be a few tough games for various reasons but even then, they even out with our
Division rivals having it just as tough or tougher. The biggest thing to me is getting the bye late to go with our Division so we can
prepare for them while hopefully having a very good record. This starting out injured and playing our Division have been death knolls
to our chances at getting the #1 seed
We get to play the Chiefs in week 2. I know it is in their place, but we have shown we can beat them there with a healthy Burrow
and this gives us some real urgency early in the season having to face the Champs.
