    Can anyone tell me whats goin on with the scheduling?

    We played the Buffalo Bills this season but the rest of our division didn’t play them and we didn’t play any other team from Buffalo’s AFC East division except them…

    What kinda rigged schedule is this?

      We played Bills cause in our schedule we were scheduled to face the “same ranked AFC East team”

      We were first in our division last season and so were the Bills.

      For example, last season Saints were 3rd in our division so they are facing the 3rd faced team from AFC East - Patriots.

      Falcons last season were 4th in our division so they are facing the 4th team from the AFC East last season - Jets

      Panthers ended up 2nd in our division last season so they faced the “same ranked team from AFC East” and that was the Dolphins

      edit: basically it was NFC South vs AFC East based off last season ranking

      Next eason we will face the same ranked teams from NFC West, AFC North and NFC North

      You play three games each year based on where you finish in your division. You play one division in NFC one in the AFC, then you play two games against the same place finishers in the other two NFC divisions you don’t play, then the 17th game was added as a rotating AFC division of the same place you finished. So our three ‘first place’ games this year are Eagles, 49ers and Bills. So we going to go 0-3 most likely.
