Would love to see Boys at Skins opener.

Don't think I can take the possibility of a third opening day loss to the Giants in a row.

I hope the league holds true and only schedules inter-divisional games in weeks 16 and 17. That might keep us from having that Colts-Jets fiasco like last year.

I think it would be cool if the Redskins played the Eagles on week one maybe as the first Monday night game of the season.

The NFL is also trying to work in all division games at the end of the season as per the competition committee's report to make the end of season games more meaningful.
I think they had to start all over again from scratch at the owner's meeting because they want to reduce teams giving games away in the final weeks.

You're saying my job's easy?! Granted, it's not my job anymore but still just a few things to consider:

-Contractual limitations and obligations
-Other programming obligations on the networks
-Event logistics (suppose there's an MLB game in Baltimore the same day as a home Ravens game and at the same time, how will that affect traffic patterns, or what if there's a concert scheduled in the stadium?)
-Franchise QB gets traded at the last minute before the schedule is set to be announced
-Traveling distance for teams and networks

Im pretty sure you dont have to schedule around the 100 people that show up for an Orioles game.

The Orioles won't ever be playing past September anyways. They'll be in the way for 2 weeks tops if the Ravens are at home for the first few weeks of the season.

It's not the Orioles you have to worry about in B-More, it's the thugs in gangs and some of their cops who behave like thugs in gangs.

Stay near the harbor and out of the porn district and you'll be fine. I made the mistake of parking there once... :D

:) well played. Orioles were just an example of course. Anyway, still working on the schedule. Might be a few more days than expected

i understand. trying to figure out a way to put more than 6 regular season redskins games in primetime is difficult work.

i'd settle for 4 primetime redskins games and 12 4PM games.

It would not surprise me if they didn't have us playing the Eagles on opening night. I remember when we had that big trade with Coles we played them on opening night.

with shanahan and mcnabb, we should atleast get 3 primetimers and 5 4PM games... that would limit me having to go to a sportsbar to watch gams to only 8.
