With 5 East coast games plus Minnesota on the road, it would not surprise me to if the team stayed back there more then just one time. Right now , that is a lot of flying coast to coast. It will be interesting to c how the NFL scheduled the NFC west since all 4 teams play basically the same opponents.
Robby,
KS has said he is not sure if the 9ers will continue staying on the east coast between 2 east coast road games. He said the players have complained of exhaustion caused by not sleeping in their own beds. I imagine many of them have custom beds in their homes.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the team remained back there more than once considering that they have five East Coast games and Minnesota on the road. That is a lot of coast-to-coast flying at the moment. Since all four teams in the NFC West face essentially the same opponents, it will be interesting to see how the NFL arranged the division.
