Adam S. Just said the preseason is "Unlikely to happen this yr"

Re: Redskins 2020 schedule
 

Gotta say, for such a tough slate of games, I think the first 10 games lines up fucking good. We got a chance to get some confidence and improve.

Starting Thanksgiving, shit gets rough

Re: Redskins 2020 schedule
 

zero prime time games, that might be a first in a long time

Re: Redskins 2020 schedule
 

if the league is pushed back, the games will just go on to the next week.. So if week 1 is postponed the skins would open with LA instead per Schefty

Re: Redskins 2020 schedule
 

I love the schedule. Week 8 bye, mini bye after thanksgiving and our team has time to gel before SF, Seattle and the 2nd Philly game to cement our division title!

Re: Redskins 2020 schedule
 

No primetime games?? Fuck yeah, no 100% guaranteed losses. And a chance to be my 2nd favorite Thanksgiving Day ever. This schedule is absolutely fantastic!!

Re: Redskins 2020 schedule
 

Text from me to my Cowboys buddy: Redskins vs Cowboys on Thanksgiving!! May you have nothing to give thanks for!

His response: You fuckers have spoiled enough of that holiday in my life

I'm 36 and he's around the same age so I think this is mostly The Ghost of RG3. But that will always be my favorite Thanksgiving. That was one glorious day.

Re: Redskins 2020 schedule
 

If we do better than expected and look competent this year, anything after week 4 can be flexed to Sunday night. So it's not a given we will only have 1 primetime game this year on Thanksgiving.

Other than that schedule looks fine. I'm more worried about it being modified to accommodate another potential 'rona flare up.

I like the way the bye and the "mini bye" work out as well. Now, on to the teams we play: Man, oh man, we play a boatload of physically tough teams! Weeks 12 through 15: @ Dallas, @Pittsburgh, @San Francisco, and Seattle at home is as tough a schedule as there is for any team.

I just can't worry about our W-L record this season. I just want to see across-the-board progress. Another very high draft pick would be a nice consolation for me if we can't hang with these teams in Year One of our team building.

Imagine opening on the road with philly, SF, Dallas, with a week 4 bye followed by Seattle and Baltimore at home. That could have been our first 7 weeks.

I think this schedule gives us a decent shot at a 3-5 or even 4-4 record with a bye to reset what is working and what isn't prior to making a wildcard/division run for the last 8 weeks. Last year the division was a shambles so although I think all the teams made good offseason improvements, I don't think you can properly write one team up and one team down until the product is shown on the field.
And our 2 games that the rest of the division teams don't play -Detroit and Carolina - are certainly winnable games right now.
The giants play the bears/bucs (likely 2 losses)
Cowboys play the vikings/falcons (also winnable)
Eagles play packers/saints (50/50 in my mind)

Re: Redskins 2020 schedule
 

I can't complain about this schedule at all honestly. Bye in the middle of the season. No short weeks except for Thanksgiving, but Dallas will also have a short week that week.

I hate prime time games just because staying up late and trying to get up for work the next day sucks, so selfishly I'm happy on that one.

But last year we had that brutal 5 game stretch to open the season which just buried all hope and I think resulted in the team giving up on Jay entirely (though he and Manusky did enough on their own to earn that). This time no such problem.

There aren't any brutal stretches of consecutive road games.

I'm not sure what I could complain about. Other than that we still figure to suck.

Re: Redskins 2020 schedule
 

I guess weeks 12-14 are kind of brutal with consecutive road games, at Dallas on Thanksgiving, then 10 day rest to go away to Pittsburgh, then 7 day rest to go away to San Fran. That's a pretty brutal road stretch I guess. But we're losing to SF no matter how much rest or where the game is played, so in my mind it's all the same.

But then we finish home vs Seattle, home vs Carolina, and away vs Philly which is close to home.

Re: Redskins 2020 schedule
 

Schedule release is the most overhyped event of the offseason. A 3 hour special last night to put the known opponents in date order? I didn't watch one second of it.

Re: Redskins 2020 schedule
 

I look at our schedule like a spades hand. 4 for sure wins, 3 possibles, with the potential for an upset

Re: Redskins 2020 schedule
 

Not a bad schedule at all, but ends tough. We MUST get off to a good start. Would love to be in contention for a playoff spot later in the year. Not expecting it quite yet in Rivera's 1st but would not be totally surprised.

HTTR!

Re: Redskins 2020 schedule
 

One!? Only one nationally televised game!? And that is Thanksgiving!? That is the biggest kick in the crotch the NFL and networks could give this franchise.

Yep. Unwatchable. I'm surprised ESPN didn't have a live national anthem right before the schedule was released.

I honestly didn't know they televised it, god that has to be boring. To be honest i find the draft pretty boring to watch as well after say the top ten picks.

After living the first 50 years of my life on the west coast, almost 10 years on the east coast still has not got me used to games finishing at mid night. I feel sorry for people that have to commute to an early a.m. job the next day that watch the games to the end. Fortunately for me I walk about 15 yards to work and can set my own hours.

Yeah me either. I don't think I've watched that any year. I actually kind of forgot about it until I saw the thread.

Re: Redskins 2020 schedule
 

I was thinking about going to our game in Arizona. Don't really think that's gonna be feasible now. Ugh. Lame.

I usually only watch the top 10 picks, then just check ESPN every now and then.

I am glad we play Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. I don't want to see Fedex Field covered in black and gold ...

I do too. Maybe this is what we need to begin the true rebuilding. Dan needs constant reminders every day of his life that "his way" hasn't and will never work. Let Ron do it his way and see what happens. No interference.

I mean you can't argue with it though. Until the Skins demonstrate that they can be an eyeball draw we belong at 1pm on Sundays.

Chase Young figures to be the best chance for drawing attention, but offense is what people tune in for. We'll be a defensively oriented team.

This is deserved until we demonstrate to the contrary.

I watched about 5 mins of Ryan Clark predicting the Eagles and Cowboys schedules, it was brutal.

Predicting a schedule in May is a clown show and honestly with everything going on right now, its hard to even imagine a season happening

Try watching in the UK. If Skins are on a Sunday, Monday or Thursday night game I have to record it and watch the next day if I can't get the next day off. And no incentive to stay up and watch live last few seasons :(

I feel your pain. Its also difficult to avoid the score up until you have the chance to watch the recording and then there is no incentive to watch if we have lost.

I wonder if that varies by the age of the fan? I love to watch a good ole defensive struggle as long as it is because of great defense and not poor offense. One of my favorite games to watch on Monday Night was the 1990 meeting between the Giants and 49ers that SF won 7-3. I can't stand to watch college games where the final score looks like they were playing basketball, not football.

I knew it was televised, but why sit through 3 hours when you spend about 5 minutes just looking at your team's schedule the same night they're talking about it?

I watched The Wire - I'm into season 2, and it's hooked me pretty good ... I've used this lock down time to binge watch shows I have missed in the past ...

Finished The Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Barry (really enjoyed that).

Am into The Wire, and Rome now ...

Still on my list Breaking Bad, Bosche, Justified, Mad Men, Dexter .... When compiling my list, it's clear to me I watch a TON of sports. And have a ton of time to get to these series.

I'm right there with you, I love defensive football. I think it breaks down along the lines of pure/hardcore football fans vs more casual fans. The casual fan - like those at the bars - they want to occasionally look at the game and see something exciting happening.

Those of us who can name the backup guard on the three opposing teams in the division, we tend to like football in any form, and we can appreciate great defense just as much as great offense.

Its just that there are a lot of casual fans out there.

The reason why we suck in primetime is cause we're not a good team. We're also not a good team at home or on the road or at 4pm or probably at practice.

I would like a Sunday night game because I like Michaels and Collinsworth, but I'm thrilled not to have any Monday nighters. A. I have to be at work at 5:30 every morning so Monday nighters suck, B. we suck a bag of dicks on Monday night dating back the last 10 years (2-13 record IIRC).

Give us a year to learn how to be competitive again and hopefully in 2021 we're worthy of a MNF game. I'm cool with it.
