2005 Schedule is out!!!!!

e16bball · 04-13-2005, 02:45 PM

It seems highly possible that we could be riding a 4 game winning streak into that last home game against Philly. Damn, that would be incredibly tight if somehow we were playing them for the division championship.

I think the games that will decide the playoffs for us are Seahawks, Chiefs, Bucs, Raiders, and Rams. Those are teams we are pretty evenly matched against, and if we do well in those, we should be looking at a mighty fine record. Of course, if we go 0-fer in those games, top-10 pick here we come. Again...

This schedule sets up tough. October is brutal with Denver & KC back to back on the road. Also ending with 3 straight division games is rough. I would be thrilled to go 9-7 with this schedule...I would sign for that right now.

FRPLG · 04-13-2005, 03:10 PM

Seriously... Every year I try and evaluate the schedule and it never works. Think about it. If one team ends up being a lot better than anyone even imagined, oh say the Steelers for example, then it changes the entire fabric of the schedule. All of a sudden an "easy" patch gets broken up and who knows how good anyone else will be. I only concern myself with the when our primetime games are and when our NFC east games are. If we win all of NFC east agmes nothing else matters.
I'll tell you what sucks on our schedule... how'd we get screwed into a week 3 bye? I'd rather have it at a more opportune time later in the season when we could use the rest. They oughta only do bye from weeks 5 - 12.

celts32 · 04-13-2005, 03:29 PM

Yes the week 3 bye is probably the biggest thing here to complain about. As far as the schedule looking tough...it probably will always look tough for the skins when a quarter of the schedule is made up of Philly & Dallas every year.

Anyone dislike the fact that NE, Eagles, Pitts, ATL, Jets?, all seem to have like 3-4 MNF games? I really don't like that they did that =/

celts32 · 04-13-2005, 04:04 PM

No those are the fruits of winning. The Redskins are lucky to have even 1 Monday night game. I wouldn't blame the NFL for putting Philly & NE on Monday 8 times each since they are the only 2 teams gaurenteed to be good each year. Most teasm are good one year and awful the next which makes it almost impossible to put a good Monday night schedule together.

Daseal · 04-13-2005, 04:05 PM

Don't you want to see teams you don't get the pleasure of seeing on MNF? I want to see teams I don't get to see all the time! What if a team gets hot next year. A new Chargers. What then?

I'm surprised were playing a Monday Night Game.

BIGREDSKINFAN63 · 04-13-2005, 04:09 PM

a bye in week 3!i hate that. i also hate a monday night game at dallas in week 2!

Daseal · 04-13-2005, 04:11 PM

You think they won't give one of footballs hottest rivalrys (though be it somewhat sad lately) a primetime spot? What about two of the leagues highest grossing teams. Both teams have massive fan bases. They'll almost always give the skins a primetime slot.

SKINSnCANES · 04-13-2005, 04:49 PM

man, we better get some damn wins in our division this year. This is getting old. I think we have a pretty tough schedule this year. Granted, I thought it was easy last year...

Personally, I watch Monday Night football no matter who is playing, but to get the casual fan to tune in they need matchups with winning teams. Without a crystal ball to use the best way of getting these matchups is to give last seasons playoff teams the bulk of the appearances. I don't see a problem with it.

BIGREDSKINFAN63 · 04-13-2005, 04:59 PM

can't believe a skins/cowboys game on mnf so early,i'm not questioning the mn spot,
just the fact it's so early in the year.i figured espn would get a skins/boys game this year.instead,they got another skins/eagles game.

Damn...one Monday night game, one Sunday night game and a traditional Saturday game. Biggest thing I see hear is that December is all NFC opponents and the last three are all NFC East games. Brutal December.

Sorry Matty...didn't see the other post.

Exactly, with the whole basis behind it to see if "the Skins can break the streak."

Goddamn we better break the streak.
