TD_washingtonredskins Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 This is so true..seems like Redskins play better when the games are a 1 pm Sunday start We've lost our share of 1pm Sunday games over the past couple decades...believe me.

I remember distinctly Bruce talking about trying to get the Jacksonville a day game to encourage more kids to come and help grow the next generation of fans.

I remember distinctly Bruce talking about trying to get the Jacksonville a day game to encourage more kids to come and help grow the next generation of fans. Oh, BTW ... the Fan Forum is tomorrow night. Yep, so later this week (Thursday) sounds like a good bet. I'm excited to hear the opponents we play. I doubt we'd face Baltimore, since we face them in the regular season, but a couple years ago we did play Tampa bay in pre season and regular season, so....who knows? The actual dates however, won't be known fully (aside from if we are given a national audience slot, I.E. MNF or a Saturday afternoon game) until the night that the regular season schedule comes out in a couple weeks. I'm excited though! Favorite part of the offseason, that is until the draft and then mini camps and training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobandweave Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I think its a foregone conclusion that the NFL makes the Browns our first home game opponent. No way they play us against them late in the year with Griffin there now. Also I expect them to cash in on the Cowboys having Alfred Morris now in the month of September, no reason to not do that either. If they don't they will waste a golden opportunity and the NFL likes to feed us to the new big thing early in the season so we don't have film on them to prepare (ala Eagles Chip Kelly week 1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even really consider it a storyline for myself as a fan and it certainly isn't going to register nationally. We may very well play Dallas early in the year, but it won't be so the league or networks can hype some sort of Alfred Morris revenge angle-- I would venture to say very few fans outside of Dallas and DC even know he's there now. I think the RG3 return might get a little play--- but I do not think it is going to be some super-hyped event either. It's not going to be SNF game or a lead DH game or anything like that. It's still the Browns and Redskins. I wouldn't be stunned if it was on MNF, but that's the third or fourth tier now in terms of marquee timeslots.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Not a bad effort (especially since he's willing to even try). The only thing I can't see happening is ending the season with only 2 of the final 5 games being divisional match ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunBunch7 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Cleveland at Washington would be fantastic... assuming of course RG3 can win the starting job in training camp. The double header on Monday Night usually doesn't have the greatest of match ups nationally but still gets huge ratings since people are starved for real football.

Warhead36 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 If you listened to Sheehan's mock schedule you would have heard Cooley after, who seemed a lot more...shall we say confident in his picks. It appears that he may already have some insider info on who we're going to be facing, at least early on, and in his mock schedule he had us opening with the Browns at home on MNF. We'll see I suppose. I do believe we'll play Thanksgiving in Dallas this year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearfeather Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I do believe we'll play Thanksgiving in Dallas this year though. Always nice, especially with a win like a few years ago. As far as I can tell, the last time the Redskins played the Lions on Thanksgiving ? 1973. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinsmw Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I know I posted what Chick tweeted, but that wouldn't follow the recent trend of Skins switching Home/Away games every year for the 1st game. This year should be an away game if they were following the pattern, since last year 1st game was home. We'll know for sure in 2 hours though.

Steelers come to DC this season so if we do play them week 1, it would 100% be at FedEx, since we played the steelers in Pittsburgh in 2012. I'd like to see Browns @ redskins week 1 though. I did see something myself on Twitter though, suggesting Browns @ skins could be a Monday night game, so if vs steelers MNF week 1 is correct, that gives us 2 already on Monday Night. Interesting. Plus there's the mandatory Thursday night game each team will have (where we will have the color thing, yayyy......) so 3 prime time games right there. Wonder if we'll end up with 5?

Ohh gotcha ok. Yeah I don't believe in the NFL necessarily trying to follow patterns, so I don't think it means much that we open up away one year then home the next. I feel like it's just the way it ends up sometimes, but not by any pattern. The NFL is weird though so noting suprises me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
