2012 Redskins Schedule Released Today

[JoeRedskin]

If wanted to, you could pretty much figure our schedule out for the next 20 years.

Each year all the teams of a division play all the teams of two other divisions - one in the AFC and one the NFC (so we will play every team in the league at least once every three years). It simply rotates by division. The only two teams on our schedule that aren't predetermined are the NFC teams from the "off" divisions. Those teams are determined by finish (firsts play firsts, seconds play seconds, etc.).

So for example, next year since we play the entire NFC Central, we will play the first place finishers in the NFC West and NFC South.

I'm not exactly sure how the home and away is scheduled other than because you play all 4 teams in the other 2 divisions, you will play 2 of them at home and two away in each case. Then obviously for the two teams that finished in the same place as you (say 1st place teams) you get one at home and one away. That's 5 home and 5 away = 10 games, the other 6 games are the 3 homes againts your division and 3 aways = 16 games.
