The Dean Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 I recall reading a story that said, this year, the teams will not receive their schedule until one hour before the general release. That was to put a stop to the early releases and keep some interest in the official program. I cannot find a link at the moment (no time). Obviously some league officials must know it, but if the teams are getting schedule info, that info could also be simply rumor---or a leak. That is, if the one hour thing is actually true. Anyone have info on this?

It's usually a game against a fellow conference team (not within the division) that was at least in the playoffs the year before. Tampa doesn't have anyone that matches that criteria. I think the Bears are the closest if I'm not mistaken. I suspect it will be the Cowboys though; a big market, Dak's return, and potential playoff team against the defending SB champs. interleague games are important to Fox and cbs respectfully. Brady and cowboys games are the ones cbs wants to keep. Fox want to hold onto KC games they get. with nbc getting the super bowl they will want to see super bowl contenders on their network. that’s the other thing...IIRC L?a stadium hosts super bowl in 2022 on nbc. It’s natural to kick off the season from there.

dma0034 Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 Give me Bills @ Chiefs on Thanksgiving! With the Bilsl not playing the Bucs in the opening game the only thing that really matters to me is who the home opener is

I get the reasoning but week 1 is going to bring in huge ratings no matter what if you schedule 2 contenders Bears vs rams screams match up somewhere between weeks 2 and 4 Sunday night game to me

We play the Pats on 3 days rest, we get the Dolphins coming off their 4 week bye, and we play the whole NFC South on the road on school nights. I threw a pinch of salt over my shoulder and that should prevent all of that from happening.

The NFL knows that they will get huge ratings even with an unspectacular match-up, because fans will have been without football for a long time. The NFL is always looking for what benefits them the most, not what satisfies the fans.

I may have mixed that up with the other change: The teams can release their schedule 30 minutes before the official announcement. That makes more sense, as it would seem the teams should get more than an hour notice.
Brennan Huff Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 Are people going to boycott again this year? They really showed the league last year for about 2 weeks 2 2
