RETROJR79 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'm ok with the Niners schedules even though they don't have a Sunday Night game but they got a Thanksgiving primetime @ Baltimore and Monday night vs the Steelers.As for the Dolphins they have 2 Monday night and @ Dallas on turkey day and the Chargers have 4 primetime game so I'm happy! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brings them together, especially if members of the family root for one team over the other Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 How many fans will have trouble getting to the game because of Holiday plans though? www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 How many fans will have trouble getting to the game because of Holiday plans though?Wouldn't every home team playing that weekend have this same argument? There's 12 other games taking place on Christmas Eve, too.You singled out the Giants/Jets game, though. Any particular reason why? Or did you type before you think, as per usual?

NJTank Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 No Jets-Giants only comes every four years and its a special occasion and I think it gets hurt by being on Christmas Eve. There was a rumor throughout the day that the game was going to be played on Sunday Night in Week 1 as the 10th Anniversary of 9/11. I think that would have been a fantastic idea for the NFL to do that. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 It's only a special occasion for those in New York City. There's little interest in this game outside of New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 It's only a special occasion for those in New York City. There's little interest in this game outside of New York.I think that's Tank's point though. You'll have much larger crowds for that game than usual during a time when the crowds are unusually high as it is. New York/New Jersey is a well equipped to handle it I'm sure, but I can see where Tank is coming from. I can as well see many positives to a christmas eve Jets/Giants game too.

njmeadowlanders Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Yeah, Jets/Giants doesn't really mean anything to anyone who isn't a Giant/Jet fan...and yeah they only play once every 4 years but how is it any different from a scheduling standpoint than Seattle/Cleveland or Detroit/Kansas City would be? It isn't. And they're not even real rivals even though they share a market and stadium because again, how can you be rivals with a team you play twice a decade?

NJTank Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I will say this if the NFL does add two games in 2012 and beyond they should make sure such natural rivalaries are played yearly.Jets-GiantsDolphins-BucsFalcons-JagsColts-Bears49ers-RaidersSeahawks-BroncosRedskins-RavensCowboys-TexansEagles-SteelersRams-ChiefsNot sure what others ones we can include but we can if we think of it. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I think Jets/Giants on Christmas Eve is inspired. Big game on a family-oriented day, and no teams/fans have to travel on an already travel-heavy day. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

BlueSky Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Saints vs. Pack opening night. Just how we all wanted it.Yep, I'm pretty happy by the way the Saints' sked shakes out. Open with the Pack - a road win over the champs would obviously be a great season-starter - and we get a late Thanksgiving feast (Giants on MNF 11/28) and Falcon stew for an after-Christmas Superdome treat (MNF on 12/26). Sadly, I have to work the day they come to Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS85 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 So the bears have 5 preseason games, start their season against Falcons/Saints/Packers, 4 night games including a trip to London, and finish the season on the road in Minnesota (christmas) and Green Bay (new years).I wonder what the Bears will do with the #4 pick in the 2012 draft?

Island_Style Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 The Jags have three prime time games. Two of those are played at home. We open at home against Tennessee. We close at home against Indy. All of this after we finished 8-8. I think we got rewarded for a non blackout season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Not that any of y'all care, but Imma post about my team anyway.First, lemme say this: my Buccaneers got dildo'd directly in the bootyhole with nary a drop of lubrication for this upcoming season...that back nine is gon' be a hurtpiece. Six of their post-bye games are on the road...including three of their last four, and their last two back-to-back--at Panthers, and at Falcons to close it out. And oh by the way, that first game off the week 8 bye...at the Saints. And we all know how the NFC South teams love cannibalizing each other. And oh by the way, let's not forget that "home" game that ain't even being played on the road...it's being played across the pond (that is, if this season even gets played)...and oh by the way, THAT'S the game that takes the Bucs into their bye week. Of those three back-nine home games, they're against the schizophrenic Texans, the Panthers (who they then get the delightful pleasure of playing again just three short weeks later up the highway in Charlotte), and "America's Team". Oh, and mixed up in that back nine is a late-November trip up to Lambeau...damn the fact that the Pack are the defending league champs--we Buc fanatics have all heard about, and are well cognizant of, that whole sub-40-degree game record. Late November...in northest Wisconsin...yeah it's prolly gon' be a little frosty up there. (The 0-for record got snapped against Chicago some seasons back...but the stigma still persists.) Looking on the front-seven side of that bye, things still ain't easy...they get a home-opening date with Tadakumong's Lions, led by a (should-by-then-be) newly rejuvenated Matthew Stafford. That's gon' be a toughie there...and let's not forget these same Lions beat the Bucs late last season in Tampa. And as it'll be the first game of the season, I'm sure they'll throw everything they've got at Afroman Freeman and the rest of them young Bucs. Of course, they get to follow that up with a road trip to Minnesota, only to turn around and go back home to welcome the Dirty Birds to the RayJ...only to follow THAT up with a home date vs the Colts--and lest Buccaneer nation forget, um....yyyeah-- that actually happened. (In the ultimate added twist to that, I'm actually living in Indianapolis now--y'all gimme a second here right quick...)...so, yeah, anyway, after that, then the Bucs go out to San Fran, where they for whatever reason always seem to have issues (hell, they have issues out west, period). Then comes a home date with the Saints before that aforementioned game across the pond. Then the bye, and then all that stuff I mentioned up above.So yeah, that nice little cupcake of a schedule they got last season turned into, well, this. Youngest team in the league? So what...theym schedule-makers finna REALLY make Mo-Mo and all his young'ns work for theirs this season-and hell, he's a young'n himself. I'll say this, though: this upcoming season will be a REAL good barometer to see just how far these young Bucs (will have) come one year removed from a 10-6 season played mostly with freshmen and sophomores. This here gon' be good...we shall see. This is gon' be Hard Knocks fa'sho here. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
