"There is no limit to what can be accomplished when nobody cares who gets the credit."

[Bengals GM (David)]

Id be down for for a structure that could change every year but the opponents would be different. Make it close to the NFL schedule structure as possible. We play 12 games here and we don't play our cross-conference division so why can't we do something like this:

Week 1-3 = Divisional Opponents
Week 4-7 = Conference Division matchups rotating which division you play each year. (AFC North vs AFC South)
Week 8-9 = Same place teams of the other 2 AFC divisions. (#1 AFC North vs #1 AFC West & #1 AFC East)
Week 10-12 = Divisional Opponents

Here's the one I created yesterday. I also got it from footballguys.com

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13oWePh4uu5stHfgzymXuVng1kmvl30bLSQXQm5i_FOk/edit?usp=sharing

This is pretty close to what Dave is saying.  It has divisional opponents weeks 1-3 and 10-12, with 6 non-divisional in between.  It looks like weeks 11-13, but week 10 contained non-conference games (AFC vs NFC), so it was removed to make it 12 weeks again.

Mine I just did face all team once.

Im up for a interesting schedule just need dedicated ppl for them.

I can do AFC, just would need someone to edit NFC once we decide on a schedule.

[Packers GM (Wood)]

Daph kind of schedule sounds like we would need to create it ourselves, the free ones dont get that detailed.

I don't think we need to go into that kind of detail. Would take a long time every year to re-create everything. With enough Excel randomizing, and 6 non-division opponents per year, you should be able to play everyone at least once over the course of 3-4 years.

[Bengals GM (David)]

If you guys are turned off by the detail of my idea, I would love to do it myself. There is more than enough time in the offseason to put together a custom schedule. There is even a ton of time if I started right now so deep into the offseason. I would have no issue doing it.

[Bengals GM (David)]

The time to make that kind of schedule would only be a hour or two of work spread over 6+ months. All the information is ready right when the season is over too. So it could be done in the playoffs.

[Packers GM (Wood)]

I have no Issues with it. if you need a Speadsheet to use with info I can give ya acces to ESPN Spreadsheet. What Im planning to have around for other schedule's as well.

Would be nice to set up a Spreadsheet Randomizer, I might fiddle around with that idea at some point.

If you want to put the time in for it I have no issues either. Only suggestion I might make is to spread out the Conference division matchups, maybe weeks 4-5, 7-8, with weeks 6 and 9 being the other division teams. Just a thought.

[Packers GM (Wood)]

Ok, I put together Something only Issue is you go to make a change anywhere on the sheet and it randomizes everything LOL.

and im sure they are few duplicates.

but went with the Following!

Week 1-3 = Divisional Opponents
Week 4-5 = Conference Division matchups rotating which division you play each year. (AFC/NFC East vs AFC/NFC West and AFC/NFC North vs AFC/NFC South)
Week 6 = Divisional Opponents
Week 7-8 = Conference Division matchups rotating which division you play each year. (AFC/NFC East vs AFC/NFC North and AFC/NFC West vs AFC/NFC South)
Week 9-10 = Divisional Opponents
Week 11 = Conference Division matchups rotating which division you play each year. (AFC/NFC East vs AFC/NFC Sotuh and AFC/NFC West vs AFC/NFC North)
Week 12 = Divisional Opponents

[Packers GM (Wood)]

I will try to Iron this out, over the next few days, or find a better way to do this. but for now it at least gives some options.

Have you had a chance to look at this any further Wood? Personally I like the schedule I created just based on the simplicity of it, but I like Dave's idea as well. Like he said the schedule would basically fill itself out every year.
