Official NFL Schedule Release Day Thread

[Dpantherman]

3 hours of coverage on ESPN tonight (don't ask me why). and Roger Goodell just confirmed on Mike&Mike that the last few games of the season will indeed be divisional games to help motivate teams to play their starters. of course if they have a huge lead it doesn't matter, but this should help nonetheless. This is the closest thing to football we are getting for a while (& the draft) so im excited.

Probably 2. I wouldn't be surprised if we get no primetime games

[Car123]

I hope we dont have a single Thursday night game.

No NFLN for me and no DirectTV.

Well the first game on thursday is always on NBC

im glad the div. games are late. we need time to get rolling. last years start was horrible on offense and really slow on defense. we needed time to learn meeks' system but once we did, our defense was strong in the second half of the season. now, with the DL turnover we had in the offseason, we'll again need time to get the defense to gel before coming together in the second half of the season. i think this format works in our favor.
