neo_prankster Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Getting back on topic, before the current schedule arrangement, here were some of the schedule aberrations, some of which should already be eliminated by now:- Raiders did not play Steelers in Pittsburgh from '81 through '99- Dolphins and Broncos met only once between '83 and '97 during Elway and Marino's careers.- Pack and Skins: didn't see each other from '89 through 2000, and not played in Washington since '79.- Falcons and Giants didn't see each other from '89-'97.- Steelers and Chiefs met five straight times at Arrowhead prior to realignment.- Pack and Cowboys met four straight seasons at Texas Stadium from '93-'96.- Bucs never played Bills in Buffalo (until next season).- Chargers and Jaguars did not meet until 2003.Source: http://www.footballinjuries.com/rotation.htmWatch, the Bucs vs Bills game will be the game they play in TORONTO next year, and we STILL technically would have it where the Bucs never visited Buffalo (proper)!That would be neat if one team (in this case Tampa) would play games in three different countries in one year. They are already scheduled to play the Pats in London in October.I don't think the NFL would allow it, but they should at least let the Bucs and Pats have the bye week after the London game.

NYBadshah1 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I don't think the NFL would allow it, but they should at least let the Bucs and Pats have the bye week after the London game.That will happen. The last two years, the four teams (Saints, Chargers, Dolphins, Giants) all had their bye weeks after the London game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
