The bad news is the Chiefs will be giving up a little bit of their homefield advantage (not that it has been so great the last couple of years) to better-rested teams in all three of the games.
Each of the next three teams coming to Kansas City will have last played on a Thursday night and will have three extra days of rest and preparation for the Chiefs.

Yeah well we always seem to get screwed scheduling-wise

so what else is new?

I recall the Chargers having a couple individual bad years followed by super easy schedules. I know that’s how it’s “supposed” to work out, but it never seems to for the Chiefs. Always playing some of the best competition every season.

If you only knew...

Screwed again.

I recall last year or the year before where we became the first team that played 3 teams in a row coming off the bye.

I feel that the schedule should be constructed so that two teams coming off the bye play each other.

Every team has 1 bye so you should be able to figure that out.

I think all you can really say is

Well that sucks.

Meh...

Sometimes the extra rest helps a team…and sometimes it doesn’t. Same with a bye week.

Bottom line is…we have to take care of our business out on the field, regardless. If we can do that, then nothing else matters.

NFL scheduling really doesn't work the way it used to...

It has very little to do with how good/bad a team is the prior year, anymore. It’s all about alternating cycles now. How you fared in the previous year only accounts for two games on the schedule, and every team is guaranteed to have to face a 1st place finisher the year before at least four times in a season.

Every season, every team thinks their schedule tougher than someone else’s, but the way they do it now is actually MORE fair than it used to be. So I just quit worrying about it; bottom line is good teams win, bad teams lose.

My long, drawn-out predictions that no one cares about, nor will bother to remember:

1. Todd Haley will still be the Chiefs Head Coach up to the 2011 season.
2. Clancy Pendergast won't make it to the 2010 season and was never intended to. Last-minute hire for a position that needed to be filled.
3. Todd Haley will not be the OC at the start of the 2010 season.
