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!

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.

[quote=Schneed10;1251595]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.

[B]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.[/quote]

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.

Re: Redskins 2020 schedule
 

[quote=Schneed10;1251596]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.[/quote]

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 :(
