Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
[quote=SmootSmack;909979]Well the multi-billion dollar deal for ESPN involves a lot more than just games. ESPN has a lot more non-game programming than the other networks. Though, of course, games are what's most important[/quote]
Yep, and rights to show the other networks' highlights too, correct? Is the NFL Network a private enterprise or run by the league? |

[quote=The Goat;909500]WTF I don't see a Sunday night game!
It's a perfect schedule for our situation though like you guys said. We could be 6-2 even halfway through, on the other hand I'll say if we're worse than .500 at that point it should be a huge disappointment.[/quote] [quote=tc2deuce]we are the only team in the NFC East that does not get a SNF game!!!!![/quote] Good. Eff Redskins Sunday night games. And eff Redskins Monday night games too. A man needs his beauty sleep anyway. |
Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
[quote=SmootSmack;909944]It's a beast of a job. Working on scheduling was one of my most demanding, yet satisfying jobs ever[/quote]
How tough was it when you got something basically set in stone like Skins vs Cowboys for a Monday night, and then Jerrah calls back and says "I just signed Nickleback for a 5 night stand at Jerryworld for all the douchebags in Dallas, its basically our adopted hometown band. I must change the Monday night game b/c of this conflict." Is it back to the drawing board or do you tell Jerry to go to hell? Or do you try to score some Nickleback tickets? |
Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
LOL. It's basically back to the drawing board.

really, so the ownership tend to have kinda the final say about things? Can you divulge the most pissed you were about a scheduling conflict? Who were the worst to work with? |

He (and all other owners) are considerate of all situations. Every sport is different. All had various challenges Women's college softball was a bitch |
Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
I did not make this, but I'm sharing it (click to make huge):
[IMG]http://www.cattelandesign.com/uploads/4/8/3/0/4830481/redskinsschedule.jpg[/IMG] [I]Credit goes to a member named wyopokes2 on [URL="http://boards.sportslogos.net/"]Chris Creamer's Sports Logos Community[/URL] [/I] Questionable player selection but he was going to good images rather than player names when selecting the images to use. GREAT WORK! He said he might try again with players Skins fans would like better later on. He's doing every team. I'll share if there's another future version. |
Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
Bumping this thread rather than starting a new one. With preseason games over I wanted to look over the schedule again and predict wins/losses based on what we've seen so far. Here we go:
Week 1 at New Orleans: The Saints will play a very emotional game based on the off-season crap and recent storms. I expect us to get demolished week 1 but won't take it too hard. [B]Loss[/B] Week 2 at St. Louis: [B]Win[/B] Week 3 vs Cincinnati: [B]Win[/B] Week 4 at Tampa: [B]Win[/B] Week 5 vs Atlanta: [B]Loss[/B] Week 6 vs Minnesota: [B]Win[/B] Week 7 at NY Giants: [B]Loss[/B] Week 8 at Pittsburgh: [B]Loss[/B] Week 9 vs Carolian: [B]Win[/B] Week 10: Bye Week 11 vs Philly: [B]Win[/B] Week 12 at Dallas: [B]Loss[/B] Week 13 vs NY Giants: [B]Win[/B] Week 14 vs Ravens: [B]Loss[/B] Week 15 at Cleveland: [B]Win[/B] Week 16 at Philly: [B]Loss[/B] Week 17 vs Dallas: [B]Win[/B] So I have us going 9-7 and think I was pretty conservative i.e. we should win those games. Maybe we eek out another win or two, which would be very impressive. 8-8 won't make me surly, but below .500 would be inexcusable given our roster talent and schedule. Who's next? |
Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
Week 1 at New Orleans: I think the Saints come out emotional, but the Skins D holds at first, and the lack of the Head Coach/play caller lets us keep it close. We open with a late [B]Win[/B]
Week 2 at St. Louis: [B]Win[/B] Week 3 vs Cincinnati: [B]Win[/B] Week 4 at Tampa: [B]Win[/B] Week 5 vs Atlanta: [B]Loss[/B] Week 6 vs Minnesota: [B]Loss[/B] Ponder and Peterson put on a nice display, while we RGIII is going through some tough lessons Week 7 at NY Giants: [B]Win[/B] Giants begin there mid season drift, and Bob shows Osi his speed Week 8 at Pittsburgh: [B]Loss[/B] Week 9 vs Carolina: [B]Loss[/B] Can't quite handle the running qb yet Week 10: Bye Week 11 vs Philly: [B]Loss[/B] See Carolina Week 12 at Dallas: [B]Win[/B] Dallas will be in full meltdown by now. Romo out, McGee (3rd string) starting. Week 13 vs NY Giants: [B]Win[/B] Fans are starting to get the bandwagon going Week 14 vs Ravens: [B]Loss[/B] Bandwagon falls apart LOL Week 15 at Cleveland: [B]Win[/B] Week 16 at Philly: [B]Loss[/B] Ugh Week 17 vs Dallas: [B]Loss[/B] Dallas saves face keeps us out of wildcard 8-8 from me. |
Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
Losing both games against Philly? Vick isn't in his prime anymore, by time it rolls around that we play them, I'd be surprised if he hasn't suffered at least 1 injury of some sort. The Eagles remind me of the Red Sox this season, stacking talent and for some reason never getting their act together.
We'll win at least one of those games. |
Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
Week 1 at New Orleans: Emotional game for the Saints and they're arguably the best team we play this year. [B]LOSS[/B]
Week 2 at St. Louis: Bradford meet RG3. [B]WIN[/B] Week 3 vs Cincinnati: I'd say we actually compare favorably to the Bengals.. Close game, but we end up winning. [B]WIN[/B] Week 4 at Tampa: We're better. [B]WIN[/B] Week 5 vs Atlanta: Matty Ice along with White and Jones absolutely destroy our secondary. [B]LOSS[/B] Week 6 vs Minnesota: No Joe Webb this year. [B]WIN [/B] Week 7 at NY Giants: Split. [B]LOSS [/B] Week 8 at Pittsburgh: Brown, Wallace and Sanders will destroy our secondary. [B]LOSS[/B] Week 9 vs Carolian: Newton completely dumbied us last year. Will it change? [B]LOSS[/B] Week 10: Bye Week 11 vs Philly: Split. [B]LOSS[/B] Week 12 at Dallas: Split. [B]LOSS[/B] Week 13 vs NY Giants: Split. [B]WIN [/B] Week 14 vs Ravens: A far superior team. [B]LOSS[/B] Week 15 at Cleveland: Easiest win of the season. [B]WIN[/B] Week 16 at Philly: Split. [B]WIN[/B] Week 17 vs Dallas: Split. [B]WIN[/B] |
