I thought LAC @ KC made sense with Harbaugh's return to the NFL. I think it's because NBC has the Olympics this summer, and they now have a fantastic AFC Championship rematch that they can promote throughout the Olympics to set the table for early September. Lamar Vs. Pat Mahomes is the juiciest game on the docket for the upcoming season (save for the SB rematch when KC goes to SF). You can promote the hell out of that game all summer long while people tune into the Olympics. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Yeah I don't think they need to burn Ravens-Chiefs for the opener. You could put anyone in that slot and get monster ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it would be LAC-KC or HOU-KC for the opener. The NFL tends to save it's juicier matchups for later in the season. I bet CBS isn't pleased that they lost their most attractive game on the slate to NBC. I can definitely see KC-SF now being on CBS as a consolation prize.

Warhead36 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I wouldn't be shocked if we play the Cowboys in the opener in one of the primetime slots. Daniels is generating a lot of national interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kleese Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Schedule officially released Wed 8p EST. You can now start potentially actually believing some of the leaks depending on source. The leaks currently out there that might have some teeth: Cowboys at 49ers week 1 SNF Steelers at Falcons week 1 Again, not confirmed, but also not coming from total goofball/fake sources either 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 For sure I'll check Wednesday night when it comes out, but for the first time in a LONG time I'm not on pins and needles waiting on the schedule. That's what 30 years of this team beating you down will do. As usual, what is expected on ES are the usual takes of "we have the hardest schedule in league history" and "we got screwed bad because of x or y" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samy316 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Tom Brady’s first game as an announcer for FOX will be Week 1, Cowboys @ Browns 4:25PM. America’s Game of the Week. You can cross both the Cowboys and Browns off as potential opponents at least for Week 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleese Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Cowboys, Browns, Eagles, Ravens all officially off potential W1 list. If the Steelers/Falcons rumor has any truth to it, you can cross those off as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Steelers/Falcons rumor has any truth to it, you can cross those off as well. I bet you we open up with an opponent like Carolina or possibly on the road against the Cardinals for Week 1. Maybe the NFL does us a solid like last year, and gives us an opponent with a non existent traveling fan base if we’re at home. I remember Kevin Sheehan last year correctly predicting that the Cards would be our Week 1 home opponent for that very reason. If we’re on the road, it might make sense for us to play ARZ, since that gets our only trip out west next year out of the way early. Either way, I predict we’ll be buried in a time slot where our game won’t matter at 1PM, or is the 4:25PM undercard for the Dallas @ Cleveland game.

Perfect place to break in our new defense and run first offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samy316 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) Monday Night Football Week 1: NY Jets @ San Francisco 49ers. So we know now that we're not playing on MNF, and that it's VERY long odds that we play on SNF Week 1 too. My guess is that we play at 1PM against Carolina at home, or at 4:25PM on the road against ARZ. We'll probably be in a matchup that has no hype or isn't anticipated by NFL fans.

That's a game that would be buried at the 1PM slot or as the 2nd backup to the Dallas-Cleveland 4:25PM game. Tampa Week 1 is interesting, but I hope it's a 4PM start, early September Tampa weather is brutal with the heat and humidity. 14 minutes ago, Skinsinparadise said: Arizona would be a bit odd considering that was the opener last year. And we opened against them on the road years ago too. Arizona & Washington are two irrelevant teams at the moment. The NFL would be doing us a solid by starting us off with an opponent that we have a pretty good chance to beat week 1. I could also see the NFL doing us a favor by having us open up at home against Carolina. The Falcons & Panthers games might be the only games on the home docket that will have a majority of Washington fans, so it would make sense to schedule us an opponent with a small travelling fan base like Carolina (just like they did with ARZ Week 1 last year).

I'd be really surprised. It's super weird to have the same opener back to back years unless its within division -- if there was an opener I'd bet against happening its this one. 9 minutes ago, Redskins 2021 said: Would be odd, seems like the NFL likes the rematch games.

Command The 414 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) I’m hoping whenever they play Arizona it comes with the Bye week sandwiched either before or after it… a long trip out West and followed by the Bye week, say around week 10 or 11 is ideal imho for a player Edited May 14 by Command The 414 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
