[quote=SkinsHulk;909502]Thursday football is a terrible idea turned schedule disaster on a weekly basis. Teams having a 4 day turnaround on the road or 10 day or so break is crap.[/quote]

[quote=Mattyk;909489]Are tix face value on the exchange or is it like stubhub where the prices are ridiculous?[/quote]

I am not a veteran of both methods for Saints tix so my best answer is I don't know. I live in Saintsland so I know the scene but I only try to go to games when the Skins come to town. I went on the NFL ticket exchange last night and prices looked reasonable for the cheap seats and very high for good seats.

The Saints have been sold out since Brees/Payton came to town and it is tough to get Saints tix on the street. My perception is that Saints tickets are more rare on the street than Redskins tix.

I would disagree with that. I can't believe no one has mentioned this yet. Think about how jacked up the Saints fans are going to be week one with their HC and several key players most likely suspended for bountygate... The Dome is LOUD, and I guarantee you RGIII has never played in a place that loud before. Griffin probably won't be able to hear a thing. That's scary to me for a rookie QB's first game in the NFL.

No, it's not about who we play.... although were supposed to play the same teams NFC South and AFC North, it's about the Giants getting their schedule first and being able to start planning prior to anyone else.

Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
 

On a slight tangent.... Alex Trebek is a Redskins fan and he predicts the wins for 2012:

[url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/post/alex-trebek-on-the-redskins-the-nats-and-robert-griffin-iii/2012/04/18/gIQAJ2HgPT_blog.html?wprss=rss_dc-sports-bog]Alex Trebek on the Redskins, the Nats and Robert Griffin III - DC Sports Bog - The Washington Post[/url]

[QUOTE]When Alex Trebek told WJLA’s Alex Parker that he is a longtime Redskins fan who can’t quit the team, I initially thought he was pandering to the Washington audience.

But a few moments later, Parker asked Trebek to predict the Redskins’ 2012 win total, and the ‘Jeopardy’ host said 12, which is the same number of wins every Redskins fan predicts for the team every April.

So, yup. He’s a Redskins fan.

Trebek is in town to tape Jeopardy’s ‘Power Players Week’ at DAR Constitution Hall; Parker got him talking about sports loyalty.


“I’m not a fair-weather friend,” Trebek said. “If things turn bad, I am not going to abandon you. I am still a Washington Redskins fan, since the days of Sam Huff and Sonny Jurgensen, and I still cheer for them. And I’m curious as all get-out as to who they’re going to pick with their No. 2 selection in the draft.”

Parker said it would probably be Robert Griffin III.

“I would think Indy is going to go for Luck because he’s more in keeping with the offense they have had over the years with Peyton Manning, whereas Griffin is not,” Trebek agreed. “But Griffin is going to be something special. He IS something special, because he is multi-talented, multi-faceted. He can pass, he can run, he can do a lot of things, and I think Washington is going to be very happy if they get him.”
[/QUOTE]

He's either a Nats fan also or just follows Baseball pretty good.

[QUOTE]“What is 2012?” he replied, in ‘Jeopardy’ fashion. “I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt . . . It’s like Jeopardy, it feeds on itself. Success brings more success. You feel confident. You’re no longer the doorstop of the league. You say ’Hey, we’re pretty good, we’re in first place....I think the Nationals will be over .500.”

[quote=Ruhskins;909547]Maybe a perk of being SB champ?[/quote]

Just like I heard the Patriots have the easiest schedule? If true how fair is that? weren't they just in the SB? I thought the SB teams usually got the harder schedules and the weakest teams get the easiest schedules?

It is based off an algorithm. Aside from the two variable games that change from year to year, you could probably discern who they will be playing for the next 10 years if you wanted to.

The opponents are determined for the next season at the conclusion of the regular season, there isn't any picking and choosing about who to play like in college football. Only the schedule order is determined by the NFL.

16 games total.
6 divisional games.
4 games against out of conference division (for us this would be the AFC North)
4 games against in conference division (this year NFC South)
2 games against 2 in conference teams determined by our order of finish last year (we finished 4th in division last year, so we play the 4th place teams from NFC North & NFC West aka Vikings and Rams)

Which means the total teams we play this year are Cowboys, Eagles, Giants twice, Ravens, Steelers, Bengals, Browns once, Panthers, Saints, Bucs, Falcons once, and Vikings and Rams once. This was determined at the conclusion of last regular season.

It is not up to the NFL. These games are predetermined years in advance. There is a perpetually rotating schedule between division play. Each division plays the other divisions on an 8 year rotating schedule. The match-ups are determined by how they finished in the division the year before.

We are playing the St. Louis Rams this year and the Tampa Bay Bucs because we were last in the division just like them. Everyone thinks the NFL picks how hard the strength of schedule is, but in reality, all but two of the games are already determined based on last years record. The only thing the NFL determines is the order of the games, not which teams play which for the most part.

Yeah I don't understand how the Patriots always seem to get breaks like that. Their schedule in the latter part of last season was pretty easy. They played Oakland, Buffalo (they lost this one though), San Diego, and Miami in their last four games. Between easy schedules and other teams making ridiculous trades in their favor, is like the entire team wants to keep them as contender (and the thing is that they don't need any of that).

Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
 

Thanks for the break down guys. I understand the divisions are set a few yrs out. That I don't have a problem with. I also don't have a problem with our schedule we are playing one of the easiest schedules. What was it 7th easiest? I get we play the 4th place losers of the other divisions like we were. But my point is your a team that went to the SB last year, win or lose, one would think you would have a pretty hard schedule since you went that far the year before not the easiest schedule.

Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
 

really only two teams are random/based off previous season records every year. everything else is cycled through, so SoS is pretty much random every year.

We play the Rams every year. The Rams finish last every year.

Therefore I will be happy when we no longer play the Rams. It will mean (hopefully) that we are moving up in the world.

Re: 2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today
 

Tough schedule after the bye week but I'm glad we don't have a Week 5 bye like we had last year...I hate early-season byes for the players.

Playing a vulnerable, possibly unorganized Saints team in Week 1 is the best time to play them. We don't even know who's coaching them yet. Who knows...Brees might hold out, he's seriously ticked off about not getting a contract YET and they're still $2million apart per year in their negotiations.

Even if RGIII breaks both legs in camp and never takes a snap, we'll win more than 3 games with Grossman.

Hey there. Long time listener, 3,487th time caller.

There is no real advantage to having gained access to the schedule days or even weeks earlier than now. The teams are in constant flux. Preparing for last year's Saints would not only be pointless given their likely roster and coaching changes, but a waste of planning time given that we don't know what WE do well yet.

Because we already know who our QB is and our next pick is a 3rd rounder, and honestly I don't see a great player being there in the 3rd that would impact our games next year...and 4-7th rounders have little to no positive impact on games in their first year.
