I just noticed the ravens had game 3 last Thursday and will have game 4 this Thursday, but the Skins just played on Saturday and the next game is on Wednesday. That just seems odd to me.[/quote]

NFL has final say over it. Teams and networks make requests but it's up to the NFL

They've underachieved. Big time. The years that Mario Williams and crew were there, they had a defense that was probably tops in the nation and they still didn't do squat.
