So I guess the season will be starting pretty late (sep 12th most likely) eh? The season start date has been slipping the past few years…. I'm I the only one that wants it to star as early as possible?
I like the idea of 5 preseason games though. :thumb:

Well good I was hoping they would be around my area for a pre season game. Might have to make a road trip to St. Louis.

Much as I enjoy getting things going early, 5 is WAY too many games. Four is enough, three is probably better. Nothing sucks worse than a preseason injury! :twocents:
Nice to be on National TV!

AARGH!!! Week 5 Atlanta AT Washington? I was hoping to see them again here in Atlanta this year... I guess that's just greedy on my part since they were just here.. I really wish that DIRECTV would show pre-season games if you are a Sunday Ticket subscriber..

does this mean the super bowl is getting moved back even further into Feb.? I thought it felt weird moving it the first time but now its just ridiculous. atleast they had a reason the last time but now they r being greedy trying to have the playoffs and superbowl during sweeps. Doesn't the NFL dominate the ratings already? plus FIVE PRE-SEASON games?!?! r they trying to get some of our players to be hurt? I'd thought there was talk of having the preseason shortened, not extended. Can u imagine how burned out the players r gonna be come superbowl weekend?
I'd like to see the NFL expand to an 18 game regular season and cut the preseason to two games. 4 is too much as it is, 5 is just ridiculous.

I totally agree. I get the sunday ticket too, but it sucks I can't see the preseason games. Anyone know why they don't show preseason games on Sunday ticket? Hell, I'll pay extra if I have to. I just need some damn Redskins football all the time!
At least this year there will be 2 nationally televised preseason games. Ahhh...the power of Joe Gibbs...I can't wait to see how many regularly season nationally televised games we have!
