2014 Schedule

My only issue with opening at Seattle is we'll hear a lot more about the Fail Mary than we would have had the game been in the middle of the season. I'm sick of it.

Cool infographic.

The division record part is impressive considering the Patriots division is garbage most years.

Yeah that was my first thought too. The Patriots are pretty much guaranteed the playoffs every year simply because they'll probably go 6-0 in the division.

Here's a good artcile on how the schedule gets made

Here's a blurb from Kings regular column

Here’s the bizarre factoid: The Packers have not opened a season with two straight road games since 1924.

“Just incredible,’’ said the most veteran of the league’s four schedule-makers, Michael North.

It seems natural that the league would schedule Green Bay consciously at home early so the Packers could avoid as many bone-chilling late games as possible. But lately, the league has embraced tundra games. It’s surprisingly coincidental that the league, even by luck, hasn’t front-loaded road games to increase the chances of a weather game in the five post-Thanksgiving regular-season dates of the Packers.

In 1924, Green Bay opened at Duluth (a 6-3 loss) and at the Chicago Cardinals (a 3-0 loss) before playing its next five games at home in a 29-day span. The Packers finished with four straight road games.

I'm glad they put this article out. Seattle fans were huffing and puffing about having only one primetime game. Well, you can blame the 49ers for that.

On Seattle sports talk show there was mention that Lynch very well could be suspended for the opener vs. GB. He pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of DUI and has a previous supension for personal conduct.

Interesting. I'll take all the help we can get. We'll probably have 2-3 guys out with hamstring issues.
