Scrappy Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Report: Jets will open on Sunday Night Football against Cowboys
Buftex Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Report: Jets will open on Sunday Night Football against Cowboys Wow...seemed like the Jets vs Giants was a natural for opening night, on the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the WTC. Or, Giants vs Redskins...I guess the NFL is thinking different, if what you say is true.
UConn James Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Wow...seemed like the Jets vs Giants was a natural for opening night, on the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the WTC. Or, Giants vs Redskins...I guess the NFL is thinking different, if what you say is true. The Super Bowl champs host opening night.
aussiew Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I hope they get the Thanksgiving game.... That would be awesome Maybe not so awesome for those who wanted a Dallas roadtrip. It means leaving the family on Thanksgiving. Plus tix will be hard to get and expensive!!
Scrappy Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) First MNF the Raiders will play at Denver. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/19/raiders-broncos-open-on-monday-night-football/ Pats / Fish play first half of MNF double header. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/19/pats-fins-will-play-in-front-end-of-mnf-doubleheader/ Edited April 19, 2011 by Scrappy
Buftex Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 The Super Bowl champs host opening night. They have traditionally hosted the opening Thursday night game...since they have been opening on Thursdays the last few years. That would be on 9/8 this year...the opening Sunday game is on 9/11, which makes, to me anyways, a Jets vs Giants game, or a Jets/Giants vs Redskins, a natural...the NFL is normally all over pageantry and nationalism... First MNF the Raiders will play at Denver. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/19/raiders-broncos-open-on-monday-night-football/ They now do 2 MNF games opening night...

Buftex Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) Bills open with KC: http://www.nfl.com/schedules/interactive?module=HP_cp3#/team=BUF No thanksgiving game...no prime-time for the Bills Edited April 19, 2011 by Buftex
sullim4 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 A grand total of 0 national games. No surprises there.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) And from a totally Bills-centric perspective: http://www.nfl.com/s...P_cp3#/team=BUF And an analysis of the Bills schedule: http://www.nfl.com/n...se-2011-buffalo Edited April 19, 2011 by San Jose Bills Fan
May Day 10 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 great. a bunch of 1:00 games. would 1 primetime game be too much to ask?
sullim4 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 BUF @ KC OAK @ BUF NE @ BUF BUF @ CIN PHI @ BUF BUF @ NYG BYE WAS @ BUF TORONTO NYJ @ BUF BUF @ DAL BUF @ MIA BUF @ NYJ TEN @ BUF BUF @ SD MIA @ BUF DEN @ BUF BUF @ NE
May Day 10 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 that looks like a tough schedule (at this time)
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) For the 3rd(?) year in a row, no prime time game. No Thanksgiving game. Open at Kansas City, close at the Cheatriots* Bye in week 7…and come off the bye in Toronto against the Redskins. And it looks like I'll be in San Diego in December.

Perhaps not the most authoritative link, but it discusses the phenomenon: http://www.keystosaferschools.com/Terrorism_and_Anniversaries.htm Maybe the NFL didn't want to create a tempting anniversary date target in the NYC area when there was no need to do so - - if you're living in a cave in Afghanistan you might not realize such a game would actually be played in New Jersey.
PromoTheRobot Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Wow. Two big donut holes in the middle. Only one home game at RWS between Oct 9 and Dec 4. PTR
