NFL: ***2022 NFL Season Thread***

[Blandboy]

Baker Mayfield is better in the stands doing commercials than on the grid iron.

Vikings fan here, but love the Rodgers to AL chemistry. Vikings are terrible. with or without Cousins. ugh!

 

[20eyes]

I've never liked the Packers and I've never been a fan of Rodgers, but Lazard earning his trust has turned him into a made man in the NFL.

Yeah, Bears born and raised...watch and cheer for Allen every week.

Actually, an 18 game season.

No, it's 17 games over 18 weeks. It used to be 16 over 17.

Sorry brother, but Cousins will never be the answer for the Vikings...

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Vikings need to lose last two to get better draft pick and fire Zimmer.

Lol.

 

[Cyched]

If a cup of ranch dressing was a person

 

[Blandboy]

You're correct. 17 games, 18 weeks.

 

[Blandboy]

Wonder if the Vikes kept the ball in front of the heater Hindenberg-style prior to that kick?

 

[MeowingCows]

That was good from a couple more back yet. What a kick.

It's 17 games as of this year. The 17th game is a random opponent from the opposite conference (if you're familiar with how the NFL creates their schedules).

I think I am. But then everything changes, like the Seahawks being an NFC team now, so let’s be sure.

2 games against division teams
1 game against every team from two other NFL divisions. (Every team in your division also plays those same teams, I think?)

Specifically (using the Lions as an example since they're local for me):

2 games against each team in your division (x2 Packers, Vikings, Bears)
1 game against all the teams from a division in your conference (NFC West - 49ers, Rams, Cardinals, Seahawks)
1 game against all the teams from a division in the opposite conference (AFC North - Ravens, Browns, Bengals, Steelers)
Whatever place you finished in your division last year, 1 game against those that finished in the same place in the other divisions in your conference (Eagles, Falcons)
The new one: One random team from the opposite conference (Broncos)

Thanks! I was close but this cleared it up. The random 17th game is weird, but I guess they need more revenue (and more concussions).

Packers clinch the 1 seed. That’s two weeks for Rodgers and the rest of the packers to get healthy.

 

[Hoggins]

When are the week 18 flex games announced?

 

[awd4cy]

Pretty remarkable start for LaFleur.

 

[BigJCy]

Supposedly here shortly.
