just booked a hotel in green bay, btw.
rooms are already pretty scarce that weekend, it seems. (and the prices are on the high side, but whatever).

now i'm hoping the bears get the late thanksgiving game. would be an awesome trip to go chicago for the bears game, then to green bay for the patriots game.
@DougKyedNESN: RT @BenVolin: #Patriots open season at Dolphins, at Vikings, vs Raiders, at Chiefs
did a quick check of where the twins were on 9/14 in the event of making that a trip, but they're at the white sox. that would've been a nice little weekend otherwise.

Pats only leave Foxboro once between Week 5 and Week 11. What a tremendous opening slate. Back loaded. By the bye they could be like 7-2 or 8-1
Denver opens up with Indy, KC, Seattle, and AZ. Wow. Their first 8 games I'd say there's 1 maybe 2 teams vs. non-contenders. One of those non contenders is SD who always plays them tough. The other is the Jets. Pats could open up a lead over them early.

Three of four on the road to start the season is perfect? Miami in the heat, dome in Minnesota, and Monday night at Arrowhead isn't exactly a cakewalk. Minnesota shouldn't be too much of a problem depending on what their QB situation looks like, but the other two aren't exactly gimmes.

If I'm still living on the west coast in December, I could do that game.
No dome in Minnesota anymore. You get all summer to prepare for the heat so it's not that much of a difference. KC is challenging, but very winnable.Soxy Brown said:
broncos/chiefs is currently the 11/30 game, so i could actually see the patriots/packers game being flexed in, no? (unless cbs is protecting it).
gonna be cool to watch the red sox win the world series heading into the broncos/patriots game that sunday.
Well then. I should've done more intrepid googling.( . ) ( . ) and (_!_) said:
Either way, starting the season with 3 of the first 4 games on the road is hardly ideal. Though I suppose one could argue that the more home games in Foxboro when it's colder, the better.
One prime time game would have to be flexed back to afternoon. Pats have 5 prime time games already which is the max.PseuFighter said:
It's not ideal, but if you could hand pick 4 teams you'd have a hard time picking a better quartet to play. If they go 3-1 there, they have 1 road game between Week 5 and 11 with it being a short trip to Buffalo. They could make major headway towards 12 wins there. The harder stretch is right after the bye where they have at Indy, Detroit, at GB and at SD.Soxy Brown said:
Nothing in NE at any time approximates Miami heat and humidity in early September -- and it's a 1:00 pm start. Hope springs eternal for every team in week 1. I'd love to flip the order of the two Mia games.RedOctober3829 said:
Very true, but if you have to play there early it's better if it's the 1st week so you'll be as used to the heat as you can. They'll make the Pats wear the dark blue jerseys too.dcmissle said:
