2005 Schedule is out!!!!!

I don't understand why they just announce the national games for week one, when obviously all of them must be set for them to do that. Why not announce all week 1 games at once? That way we'd at least know when and where the Skins opener would be...

Actually, that's all I'm really interested in. I am trying to plan my vacation and need to know if they have a home game the first weekend.

Sad ... planning my life (and the life of my family) around home games.

Not sad at all! If you think about it, out of 52 weeks per year, NFL teams are only garaunteed to play at home 10 of those...and only 8 of them count. Makes sense to plan things around them! (I've used this same type of arguement when my wife was annoyed at me watching football all day on Sundays....until this year when towards the end of the playoffs, she actually asked me what we're going to do on Sundays without it!)

What is so sad about that, I plan my life and my family's around important events all of the time.

The NFL does this every year. They like to tease with those 3-4 games first, get you talking, then drop the rest of the schedule later in the month, so we can talk some more, and then next thing you know its draft time and we really talk even more! It their way of keeping the NFL a year round event. They have the longest offseason in pro sports so we get little crumbs thrown at us.

It will get even worse if the NFL goes with the plan for the Monday Night Game to wait to decide who will play based on current standings/rankings............
