KellyToTasker Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 The NFL, year to year, is generally quite on the official schedule release date. This link/report places emphasis on the complexity of developing the NFL schedule (impacting factors include: London games, Stadium specific concerns, etc.). The 3rd week in April is a soft year to year standard. I hope the NFL responds to the Bills' frustration in the number of opponents coming off a bye week/Thursday Night game. http://www.theredzone.org/BlogDescription/tabid/61/EntryId/41510/NFL-uncertain-of-release-date-for-2014-schedule/Default.aspx
DanInUticaTampa Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 probably going to come out closer to the end of april. I think it was almost draft time when the schedule came out last year.

KellyToTasker Posted March 26, 2014 Author Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) maybe they'll do the Bills a favor in honor of Ralph We can only hope. In years past it seemed like the schedule makers didn't want to rock the boat....So they used a template from the previous year. I'm hoping Buffalo forced their hand this year.

Mark Vader Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) About damn time. Edited post- If you read the article it states that it COULD be released April 22, or April 23, or April 24. Good grief. Edited April 20, 2014 by Mark Vader
YoloinOhio Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 PFT said this week that it was going to be 4/22. I didn't realize it could be later than that.. ugh. I wanna know!
eball Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 The NFL Network program listings this week give no indication the schedule release is planned. Not saying that isn't by design, since they seem to want to drag the suspense of this thing out. It's just annoying; I'd really like to book some travel plans and this is the latest release I can recall.

It's just annoying; I'd really like to book some travel plans and this is the latest release I can recall. normally the draft would be this week and they release it the week before the draft on tuesday (ie last tuesday), so its not toooo far off schedule. im guessing they have 2-3 possible schedules and they are negotiating some last minute things they would like to have happen (either venue, or TV debates) before picking the one to roll with.

I really don't like them moving the draft into mid-May, probably because I find all of the mock draft talk idiotic to begin with, so having two more weeks of it drives me batty. I find myself completely ignoring the NFL sections of any website these days. At least give me the schedule so I can prepare my "Dinner's on me..." entry.
FluffHead Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 Now they're saying it won't be Tuesday. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/04/21/schedule-release-now-planned-for-wednesday-maybe-thursday/

NoSaint Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) book your rooms. Book your car. Those can be changed or cancelled without penalty. and depending on the airline, so can that (atleast change). i use southwest all the time and its no penalty to change, for instance... you could book a cheap flight on a weekend you hope for and always swap it as a full credit towards a new flight if needed (or a trip somewhere else if you really cant work with the schedule).

CountryCletus Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 It was closer to the draft last year bc the draft was earlier. I think it was around the 26th...
eball Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 book your rooms. Book your car. Those can be changed or cancelled without penalty. Yep, already booked a number of rooms...more concerned w/ the flights. Just impatient I guess.
YoloinOhio Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 Nathaniel Hackett @CrazyNateHacket 1h Other than the NFL schedule, the only thing taking longer to come out is Tom Brady Yes, that is a fake account.
YoloinOhio Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 Buffalo Bills @buffalobills 11m If #Bills fans made the 2014 schedule, it would look like this: http://ow.ly/w0kst pic.twitter.com/8MIYbRwbuz

You and me both brother...having said that i have rooms at least booked for every weekend in September
Mike in Horseheads Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Per Bills text and WGR, the schedule is out tomorrow at 8! DUN-Dun-DUN... will the bills play on Thanksgiving, will The Packers be at RWS for a Monday night game???,
