6 of the final 9 on the road smh

[TheeTKOBeatz 284]

interesting, and only one monday nighter

[Falcon Blitz 425]

Love all the 1 PM starts and that we play the division early and late. The only thing that sucks is 6 of the final 9 on the road hopefully we can take advantage early of being at home. 

[blkbigdog35 5,878]

First three games out the gate will be tough.

[hjerry 22,458]

No Sunday night games

[blkbigdog35 5,878]

I also noticed only 4 playoff teams from 2017.

[FentayeJones 19,596]

No 4 o'clock starts

[GATXBOI 752]

When is our bye

Week 8

[vel 21,851]

Man this is perfect! Exactly what I was hoping for after hearing we opened at Philly and had NO on Thanksgiving. 

We should be one of the healthiest teams all year. We have:

a 10-day break before week 2
a 10-day break after Thanksgiving
a 14 day break after week 7

That's a lot of rest that teams don't normally get during the year. Having a 10 day break before that December gauntlet is going to be crucial!

Considering that we start the season on a Thursday Night, we don't have an 'abbreviated week' coming off a Sunday game.  Also, that does give us that extra few days before playing the Panthers.  Bye week after a Monday Night doesn't hurt much either.  We do have that abbreviated week of playing at New Orleans after playing Dallas though. 

[Drew4719 2,883]

Wow, this is the best schedule we’ve had in years, can’t complain about this one. Finally all the division games aren’t backloaded, and we get the Bucs week 17 instead of the saints or panthers. We haven’t got the Bucs last since 2012.

Ah I'm not worried about the short week before NO. We ALWAYS get up for that one. All the rest is beneficial for a guy like Julio who is always banged up. It will be key to have a healthy Julio all year. Also, it should help the rookies.

That can change later in the season with flex scheduling.

Thanks... That's a perfect bye I like the schedule it's gonna be a true grind and i think this is the schedule that can and will bring the best out of this Franchise.

[mar31985 86]

Have to take care of business at home with our difficult road schedule this season 

[MoFalconsFan56 2,747]

Super Bowl bound, babaaaay!!! Let's go!! Wasn't long ago Denver had an MVP qb lose in the super bowl only to come back and win it two years later. This is our year!! 

[IndiscreetGeek 940]

I like the schedule but why, WHY do we always have to go to Philly? Can't they come to us for once?

[stizz 3,532]

Big negative having all those away games late IMO 

[BCEagleATLFalcon 10,679]

Wow, we better establish ourselves in those early home games. After October 22, we don't spend two consecutive weeks in Atlanta the rest of the season.

We'll get 3 consecutive at home for the play-offs of course but man ...

Ok, glass half empty.

How about 5 of the first 7 at home? Makes for a potentially fast start.

Glass half full now
