DM72 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 So hard to get excited for this. In fact, I think it is pretty silly they are going to announce it. You have to plan as if there will be a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 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. We were supposed to play in Arizona, but the NFL switched it around so teams don't have to travel back and forth out west so much and vice versa. We were supposed to get Seattle at home this year.

fullnelson9999 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 For now anyway....http://www.redskins.com/team/future-opponents.html When a team like the Redskins is rebuilding, it really doesn't matter when they play these teams. A future opponent schedule is really all you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor 36 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 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 thank you. The post you replied to was so full of fail. Besides all that you mentioned, the schedule makers have to look at the stadiums that have MLB and other sports played there, including stadiums that host other events like concerts, and make sure that they are not scheduling a game during one of those events. It is a very painstaking process that takes weeks, if not months to complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a very painstaking process that takes weeks, if not months to complete. Only the Dolphins and Raiders have to deal with baseball teams in their stadium. All the other stadiums have no other tennets in them. As far as concerts go, I imagine that all the Sunday/Monday dates are kept open from Sept to Jan by the teams themselves. I can't imagine the NFL working around a Bono concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not be able to imagine, but that doesn't mean it isn't so. Just last year there was a game that was in question due to the field conditions from a concert the night before (I can't remember what game or band at the moment), so this does happen. Plus, many stadiums host other special events. Fed Ex has hosted college games, for instance, and many times those games are scheduled a couple years in advanced.
