2020 Schedule

Hoping the NY game is later into the yr so I might have a chance to see it

Same here! I got all excited about them coming to New York this year. Would suck if it doesn't happen or I can't go.

with it confirmed we are starting with the AFC East I would think we would open up on Sunday night vs the Pats. Even without Brady that game has a ton of national appeal. Jimmy vs his old team, the defending NFC champs, and the first game without Brady in 19 years. After that you would think they would have us go to NY so we can stay on the east coast.

My biggest concern with the 2020 schedule is that it sounds like the NFL will allow fans in cities that allow it which will create a competitive imbalance for us since it sounds like no fans will be allowed at any niners home games this year.

If I had to guess if the Week 1 Dolphins game and the schedule structure are both true:

Week 1: Dolphins (MNF)
Week 2: Bills 1pm
Week 3: @ Pats 10am
Week 4: @ Jets 10am
Week 5: Packers 1pm
Week 6: @ Saints (SNF)
Week 7: Rams 1pm
Week 8: Cards (MNF)
Week 9: @ Seahawks 1pm
Week 10: BYE
Week 11: Redskins 1pm
Week 12: @ Cowboys (Thurs - Thanksgiving)
Week 13: @ Giants 10am
Week 14: Eagles 1pm
Week 15: @ Cards 1pm
Week 16: Seahawks (SNF)
Week 17: @ Rams 1pm

I think the BYEs might not even start until Week 6 for the whole league in case they are dropping Weeks 1-4, or a portion of them.

I'm probably wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy off but this is fun

Maybe stay in OH for 3 weeks for the Pat's, Jets & Packers?

Pats and Jets yes OH was my thinking. Packers are at home

Years from now Covid 19 will be the most overblown reaction to an event in U.S. history. The numbers just don't bear out this reaction,shutting down the entire country and killing the economy.

This !

Agree.

Somehow that is a little hard to imagine, but a couple weeks ago, when Mark Cuban was being interviewed on TV as one of the president's advisors on how to reopen sporting events with huge crowds, he said it already has been discussed and decided that professional games would be played before empty coliseums, stadiums or forums.

Then on a Fresno sports talk radio show wiht Will Cain, they interviewed another gent who was advising the president on collegiate sports /stadiums. He said the consensus was that if kids could NOT go back to school (college) and had to take classes on TV or online , that it was unlikely the college football, basket ball games would be played.

They are opening up too prematurely. New cases will spike exponentially and restrictions are put back in place. Next time more strict and the season goes away. Should have been locked down for longer for the virus to almost die away. You cant have everything all at once unfortunately.

I have to agree - they're coming back too soon.

I just got through reading an article about this virus and how it's mutating. They have found several different strains already circulating which could make it harder to develop a vaccine. Unless this virus mutates to a non infectious / non lethal version it will continue to be a threat. It's not just going away. Even if they played the games in empty stadiums you still have several hundred people in close proximity that could in turn spread the virus to others. You have the 53 players and all the coaches, trainers and support staff. They're taking a big chance if they go back too soon.

If our first 4 games are against the AFC East there's absolutely no excuse not to start off 4-0

Really? Tell this to the families who lost their members and to those who suffered and still suffering. We are talking about human lives that are at stake here and there were many people who already died due to this virus. If the number of deaths doesn't conform to your parameter to be considered a deadly pandemic that needed to enforce national emergency measures such as quarantine in almost a nationwide scale, I think most of us Americans will rather take these measures and comply with them than wait for more people to die. If you consider it as an overblown reaction I consider it as reasonable and necessary response/actions to prevent more and worse catastrophes.

Absolute no way the defending NFC champs open up on the 2nd trash game on MNF. Its almost looked at as a regional game and they don't schedule the second 7 pm game on the east coast. Look at the history.

13-3

I need some damn schedule leaks!

He possibly has a point though. It's tough to say how bad it would have gotten but Sweden isn't swimming in dead bodies from what we have seen. The ramifications from shuttering our economy could have a much more severe impact in the long run. Where is food aid for starving African kids going to come from? Probably be a couple hundred thousand more dead right there alone, but the media could care less so nobody thinks about it. Then you have the "silent killer" diseases that people aren't getting checked out due to media fear mongering. Going to be a lot of people dying too soon due to avoiding hospitals after stuff like minor strokes over fear of coronavirus.

First of all, this isn't a U.S event. The entire world is being hit with this and nearly every country has restricted large gatherings and shut down much of their economy. There are still a large number of cases but the numbers would be much larger without the restrictions. We'll see what happens as some of the southern and mid western states start sending people back to work but the number of cases are likely to go up. Too many people think this will just go away in a month or so but that's really unlikely.

Going to be 8 straight road games to start the year lol.

I just hope we don't have another early bye week.

Brady vs Brees week 1 is the only leak I've seen so far.

Interesting. Looks like the NFL won't stack the out of conference games in weeks 1-4 and it may just be a schedule like any other season. Guess we'll find out for sure at 5pm today.
