FunBunch7 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Obviously in any other year we would have had the NFL Schedule released by now. I assume due to the lockout they are not releasing it or even constructing it for that matter, but I have a question... We are due to play the NFC West this coming season (which by the way has me licking my chops). The last time we played the NFC West was in 2008. that year we hosted BOTH Arizona and St Louis. The way it is SUPPOSED to work is that the sites for the games when under the divisional rotation is supposed to alternate. That would have us playing AT Arizona and St Louis this coming season. However, if you go to NFL.com or any other site for that matter it has us play HOST to Arizona yet again. I am assuming this is just a mistake. Can anyone clarify this? Keep in mind that there is another rotation based on where a team finishes in the standings ie, the 3rd place team will play the other 3rd place teams in the conference etc. But I know for a fact that the divisional rotation is not determined by order of finish. The NFL did this so every team would play at every stadium on a calculated schedule.

SB17 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 That home-away rotation ended last year, I believe. The new home-away rotation for the next six (?) years is based on how teams finished in their divisions in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGREENHULK Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I thought I read somewhere the league is working on 2 sets of schedules. One for the full 16 games and one that accounts for a shortend season that excludes NFC teams playing any AFC TEAMS that way only NFC teams play eachother to decide playoffs spots based on division and conference records. So we would play 2 games each as normal vs the NFC EAST and then however many games against the NFC WEST depending how long the lockout lasts.

VaK9Trainer Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Getting used to the idea of NO NFL for this season. I think a LOT of people are!!! I for one, am really sick and tired of all the whining that goes on from a bunch of men getting paid MILLIONS of Dollars to PLAY A GAME. If you paid me $100,000 a year and told me I could make my living playing football, I'd be the happiest man alive, but not these crybabies. Baseball has STILL not recovered from all of their strikes. The NFL should be careful what they wish for!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mania Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 If this is true and it does make sense, then our schedule got that much easier as we wouldn't be playing the Patriots or the Jets next season. Two of the harder teams we would have had to play in a 16 game season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaSkins21 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 IMO, anything pertaining to any games means squat given the fact that there's no CBA and games could be cancelled. Big :thumbsup: NFL and NFLPA. NOT!!! :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffylookin Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 College football with a sprinkling of CFL will be more than enough for me. I really could not care less if the NFL plays this season. I think both sides could use a year off with nobody missing them to get their heads on straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 It seriously takes 5 mins to make up the schedule. They could release it on the saturday if the lockout interferes with the season. Its a computer program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunBunch7 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 It's always released well before the draft. End of March in some years, early April most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeen80 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 It seriously takes 5 mins to make up the schedule. They could release it on the saturday if the lockout interferes with the season. Its a computer program. Not even close, especially when you factor SNF and MNF games, making sure cities with 2 teams/1 stadium (Jets/Giants) dont have home games on the same day, etc. Example, last season after we traded for Mcnabb, the schedule was delayed because the NFL wanted to move one of the Redskins/Eagles games to Monday night and another to late afternoon. The process is all about drawing TV ratings so the next network that wants to make a bid on the NFL package pays a kings ransom. Schedule = Best Ratings = more money from FOX/CBS/ESPN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRNY4ZRNY Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Lets start the year off at HOME against the Patriots... Lets get the toughest game done with. Maybe the Redskins and our jacked up fanbase could pull off the upset!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunBunch7 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 For now anyway....http://www.redskins.com/team/future-opponents.html I'm just hoping this is wrong. It's the Arizona game that has me up in arms. In 2008 we hosted AZ when we played the entire NFC West, so this time around the game should be in AZ. Living in Colorado, I will drive to the game if it's in AZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Deadman Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Most likely either middle of next week or at the latest the Tuesday before the draft. Rich Eisen indicated that it would be released before the draft just didn't know when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
