Merged: 2008 Schedule/First Game!

[LobsterMobster]

how can the NFL make a team play 4 out of 5 games on the road to close the season, this is just totally unfair

Look on the bright side: they also have a 6-week run with 5 home games. :up:

I will finally get to go to my first Phins game this year. The Chiefs game is four days before Christmas which means I will not be having classes. See all you fans in Kansas City!

Wear your aqua loud and proud! I catch a lot of flak from these chiefs fans, but they're all bark and no bite. Let's just hope the outcome is a lot better than the beating the phins got the last time they came to KC. The 2nd half and the walk back to the car weren't too fun...

Kansas City, December 21st... it will be cold.

Relatively bland. We don't play 2 straight division games all year. Nor do we receive a scheduling boost at home, hosting a team off a Monday Night game.

The major benefit is hosting the Jets and Buffalo in the first meeting. After being swept last year we'd be stuck in the dreaded fury of anti revenge home scenario if those teams hosted us first, particularly early in the season. That's when the energy level is bizarre in favor of the home team and you're likely down 7-0 or 14-0 before the game really starts.

So we avoid that. But the roadie at New England is in the worst possible place, early in the season before they've traveled here.

Dolphins In Toronto

Week 13,Miami will be playing the Bills at the Rogers center (Skydome).Well over 100,000 on a waiting list for tickets.Although I know this is nothing more than a cash grab by the Bills,I still can't friggin' wait!!!! This will NOT look like a Bills home game....

really? I just always assumed that the Bills would be the favorite NFL team in Toronto, no?

As much as I think it is great for the Bills to have a home game in TO, I think it sucks for their fan base to have an AFC E home game there. MIA vs Buff has a huge popularity amongst their fans and I think it is crappy that the NFL took that game from them. Sometimes I think the NFL just throws darts against a board and hopes for the best.

Because we don't have an NFL team (YET!) there's a real mixed bag of fans.Having Miami play Buffalo here makes it a "Big Show!"They wouldn't get the same press or hype playing a team like K.C or Seattle.IMO.And Ricky already knows his way around the stadium

I'm glad to see our late season game with the Bills is going to be played in Toronto...at least the weather won't be an issue inside in a dome stadium.
