NFL Schedule Coming 4/14

Wow...slow week. A thread to announce the announcement of the schedule.

said the guy who started a thread about a "new" Ben & Jerry's flavor

Damn I missed that. What flavor? :woot:

They should release the schedule game by game, and analyze each game announced, that would be hilarious. Stretch it out into a 4 hour show.

I was actually thinking the schedule release should be like 17 weeks long... where every tuesday or something they release a week of the schedule, and than all the teams fans would debate that team.... and than go to week 2, week 3, ect.

That's kind of what it feels like when we're preparing the schedule. It's such a tedious process, so much back and forth

So, do you think the Lions get any "sympathy" in scheduling? Does their 0-16 season factor in at all?
It would be brutal for their fans to start at Chicago, at Pitt, Home for Baltimore and Minnesota.
Does anyone know how much of the schedule is done by people, and how much by computer formulas?

No problem. It's actually a pretty fun process, though it can get very tedious

OK smooty, Give up a few dates. What do you know?

Well, I really don't work on the NFL schedule to the extent I did the past two years. And even then I was really more in a "consulting" role, and only for my employer (not the other networks). Plus, the reality is that none of us know until Tuesday morning at the earliest what the final verdict will be. It really does come down to the wire what ends up being the final schedule.

So I have some sense of a few dates, but nothing concrete.
