I think starting the season with it is even worse--teams have shown to be wobbly in the first few games, just finding their feet. That's fine, when it's all the teams. This will set back whoever plays in those games at least several weeks as well, by which point a season is seriously affected.They are making it a Week 1 game. So the teams will be able to get out there early and have time to adjust.
However, having just recently traveled to Sydney a few months ago, I can attest that the flight back home really sucked. Took about 2-3 days to get back to somewhat normal. Definitely a disadvantage for the teams forced to travel halfway around the world.
Technically, it will be FNF in AUS!TNF, AUS, BYE
A 16 hour flight is never nice. If they give the players sleep pods, it might not be as bad though.They are making it a Week 1 game. So the teams will be able to get out there early and have time to adjust.

Now THIS is absurd.This will set back whoever plays in those games at least several weeks
No. I mean they play TNF here...then go to Australia....then have a bye.Technically, it will be FNF in AUS!
I prefer they travel to AUS over the EU to play. The 21 hour difference is easier than the 10 hours difference from a jet lag perspective. But I do not see them playing on TNF since the game would have to be a 2pm on a Friday in AUS to start at 5pm on a Thursday here. Wouldn't make sense. If they play at 10am on a Sunday in AUS, it would be at 1pm here on Saturday.

Gottcha!! My mistake! That makes sense!No. I mean they play TNF here...then go to Australia....then have a bye.
For the opponent...bye,.Australia,...MNF
Irrelevant. WTF does that have to do with anything? It's 3x the flight time at base, and you're minimizing the time as if there are no adverse effects. Who is being absurd?Now THIS is absurd.
It's the same time change for a west coast team (-5 hours) as for an east coast team traveling to U.K. (+5 hours), and less than traveling to Germany (+6 hours). It's two longer flights, but on a 16 hour flight, players can sleep half the time.
