Here is what chaps my hide...

[THE OG CANEPHINS]

This is week 7 and we just played pour second home game of the season (London doesn't count).

Now we are playing 3 out of our next 4 on the road. I know....but December will be glorious with 4 our of 5 at home.

Sorry...I don't like all the imbalance in the schedule.

SO? It is what it is...

This might sound stupid...but I think this is an easy motivational tool for Campbell. There's no better "us against the world" motivator than starting a three-game road trip against the defending Super Bowl champions.

 

[Daytona Fin]

We are a solid road team even under Philbin.

The NFL schedules that way because of the warm weather in Miami in December .

It may turn out to be a big advantage if we can win a couple of road games and then get to play 5 out of 7 at home to finish the season.

I am fairly sure the Dolphins requested that they have most of their away games early in the season so they could get more work done on the stadium.

 

[THE OG CANEPHINS]

Yeah, but 7 out of the first 10 on the road is a little ridiculous.

 

[ChambersChamps]

Hey, if we win 2 of our next 3 that schedule will be reason why we make playoffs

 

[THE OG CANEPHINS]

So what explains all the years when we played 3-4 cold weather games after Thanksgiving?

 

[DuderinoN703]

NE has a 3 game homestand which included today's game. Always with the advantages.

 

[PhinFan1968]

This team, over the past two years, is 8-8 at home AND on the road...not sure it's all that big an issue.

 

[THE OG CANEPHINS]

The travel and short weeks have to catch up at some point. It is called home field advantage for a reason. It is one thing to play a couple of home games then a couple of road ones...lather, rinse repeat.

London isn't really a home game so 3 games out of our first 10 on the road is extremely excessive. Ross only asked for the first 2 to be on the road for the stadium renovations. London scheduling doesn't help but the mass amount of road games could have been broken up.

I know we have 4 of last 5 at home, but three straight on the road? Seems imbalanced and I would be interested in knowing why? Is someone in concert?

IT is easier to understand when you realize the answer to these types of questions is "because, **** the Dolphins"
