2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
 

Officially, the schedule will be released later today (along with all other teams)

But we can start talking about a few things now.

I had told a few of you ESPN was trying to secure Panthers vs. Redskins as a Monday Night game, possibly the Monday Night season opener.

That won't happen as it will be the Ravens vs. Bengals to kick off the Monday Night season.

Also mentioned they were trying to get a home game on Election Night eve. Won't happen either as, according to CBS Sports, the Saints are hosting a Monday Night game that night

Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
 

You know, there hasn't been a Thanksgiving game for the 'skins in a long time.

Doesn't seem like the Panthers v. Skins game seems Monday night worthy anyway. I could see the Skins v. Steelers game being Monday night.

Just no more Monday nights against the Eagles. I think we're cursed when we play them on Mondays.

I can't remember the last Thanksgiving game the Skins played. Had to of been when I was a kid.

Isn't it usually the Packers, the Bears or the Lions on Thanksgivings now?

I know its a divisional game, but I cant imagine a less exciting opener. The Bengals and Ravens probably have the fewest fans fans outside of their resepective metro areas than any teams i can think of. gosh, what a letdown.

I can see Cam vs. RGIII being worthy, though my advice was for later in the season

Eagles or Giants were the Monday Night Election Eve opponents I believe that were being targeted.

First time in 6 years, I'm not really involved in the scheduling

Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
 

They need to mix up the teams on Monday Night Football. The schedule last year was the all time worst. Hope they learned their lesson with scheduling the Colts and the Peyton injury.

I can agree with that.

Feel like we'd win that game too.

Don't forget the cowpukes.

Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
 

As I've said, I wouldn't mind a Panthers-Redskins Monday Nighter. I'm actually happy it's not opening weekend, I would actually prefer a Sunday 1 pm or 4 pm game to start off the season. I'm sure we'll get a Monday Nighter thrown in there somewhere, just because of the exposure RG3 will bring, but I'm good as long as it isn't against a team like the Eagles, Steelers, etc.

Yep. Cowboys and Lions always host a game on Thanksgiving. It's just tradition.

That is actually rather shocking to me. Every time we play before the election, the commentators always have a story line with the whole 'when the redskins win, the incumbent president wins; when the redskins lose, the incumbent president loses, too.'

Yeah, I think that was finally debunked in 2004 when we played Green Bay at home and lost, and Bush still won..... but I know that it held true for a long time.

Did he win... did he?

Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
 

It has been debunked a few times if I'm not mistaken, but the level of coincidence is staggering nonetheless. Correlation without causation, however.

Aren't there 3 games on now ,CBS,FOX, and NFL network .....didn't the Ravens play the 49's last Thanksgiving(i think)?

Yep, that's true as well. 3rd game isn't necessarily hosted by the same team in the same way the Cowboys and Lions always host on Thanksgiving though.

Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
 

at the Giants Week 7, host them Week 13

Steelers at Broncos Sunday night opener

Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
 

At Dallas Thanksgiving Day 4:15 and close vs Dallas in season finale

I was wrong,I looked it up,weve never beaten the boys on thanksgiving.They are 6-0 against us.Like I said,bad memories

Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
 

Shouldn't the Giants be punished for this?

how about to the sum of ... oh ... I don't know.... 36 mill in CAP space? It seems to me they got a competative edge.

Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
 

Eagles at browns week 1

Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
 

The 'Skins opening game is against the Saints. If we have to play the Saints, week 1 is the best.

We do have to play the Saints this season, the divisions we're playing are the NFC South and the AFC North. If we open with the Saints I'll be happy with that.

The Redskins can still come away from a 13 win season.

Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
 

Agreed. I worry about Blackmon going all apeshit on us though.

We'll see if this is the New Skins or Old Skins if we ACTUALLY shut down a highly-touted rookie...

I love it. Good bye week, extra long layover after thanksgiving. Ought to hit it out of the park.

I agree with this. 1st game post-bounty gate without their HC. Definitely the best time to see them.

I think I'll take the over, on the over/under. :)

Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
 

So it looks like they did indeed try to make Panthers Redskins the election eve game ( they do listen to me still, yay!) but to no avail

Man I miss scheduling

Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
 

Im thinnking we could start out 4-2, maybe even 5-1 if RG3 hits on all cylinders, doesnt seem to be too bad of a schedule the first half, that second half though......... ugh

Anyone been to a Saints game in recent years? Is it hard to get decent tix? I want to try to make that one or maybe Tampa.
