SCHEDULE RELEASE 2022

[calia]

Geez -- week 14 for the bye. That's a long time to get to the bye week. And we play the NYG the week before and the week after the bye. Weird.

Whatevs. 17-0, baby!

I think it's good to have a late bye, helps the team get some much needed rest after 14 long weeks.

Maybe -- but week 14 is the latest possible bye week, I think. It isn't until Dec. 11 and that's a long time to play without a rest. For a 17 game season, I think the sweet spot would be around game 11 or 12. Then you get healthy and have a 5-6 game push.

But on balance, I like the schedule.

Sure, for me the sweet spot is week 8-12 for a bye. But I'd much rather have a late bye week than a very early bye week, like week 3 or 4. We've been there a couple times in the last decade or so.

More than our fair share - agreed.

So much can happen between now and the season, of course, but if we can take care of business in the division (at least split with PHL and DAL and beat NYG), this schedule doesn't seem as daunting as last year for sure. GB will be a handful as will SF on Christmas Eve. But at least we have TENN, CLE, and MIN at home -- and having DET, CHI, and HOU on the road isn't so bad.

" but at least we have TENN, Clev and Minn at home" lol. Can you explain this statement? I'm confused by it. Are you saying that Dead Ex is some kind of home field advantage? Or are you saying we're better than those teams?

While no one would say playing at home is an advantage -- the last last 5 years, we're 15-25 at home and 16-25 on the road. But I'd still rather play better teams at home -- and I think as to these teams, we're likely to see fewer fans of their in FedEx (unlike say other NFCE teams, or teams like NE or Pit). I don't think we're likely to beat these teams, although Cle seems to underperform a lot.

Hope it will be a great season full of promise

Man I don’t like that late bye…I’ll take it over an early bye any day if the week, but it’s a long season.

Everyone here saying we have a easy schedule, everyone else in the NFL that has Commanders on their schedule: "ok there is a W".

Something has to give most likely the Commanders.

Any schedule is going to look easy compared to the gauntlet of top level QBs we had last year.

[Redskins 2021]

We need to get 10 wins this year for it to be successful.

[skinsfaninok]

The schedule changes weekly , injuries , suspensions etc. 1 week at a time

For the NFL hates us crowd, they sure did us a solid by giving us the Jags and Lions to start. Good chance to start off the new Commanders era 2-0.
