Any confirmation on the schedule release for tomorrow? It seem really late this year!

Will they have week 12 byes again creating havoc once again in the Footballguys contest ?

Will Atlanta be on Monday night football week 16 for the 4th straight season ? (Last game of the fantasy season in most years)

2010 Atlanta vs NO (though Phil vs Minn on Tue was the final game for fantasy that year)

2011 Atlanta vs NO

2012 No Monday night game

2013 Atlanta vs SF

2014 ???????????

 
Anyone else buying into the conspiracy theory that they are releasing the schedule tonight at 8 because it's the same time as the Mavericks playoff game (after what Cuban said about the NFL)?

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but I really do hope this one is true and I hope the ratings blow the Mavs game out of the water.

 
Sea vs GB to kick it off. I'm guessing SF gets the SNF home game to break in the new stadium.

If the league has any humor, they'll put GB at SEA later in year on MNF like last time. I doubt it happens though as the ESPN games haven't been marquee matchups lately.

I agree with that authors opinions:

Do I think it’s possible that when the NFL’s date and time options were being weighed, the prospect of messing with Cuban was a tiny checkmark in Wednesday’s “pro” column? I guess it’s possible.

Do I think that, even if that wasn’t the case, now that the league office realizes the schedule release will partially mess with Cuban, there are a few wry smiles on Park Avenue? Absolutely.

That Jerry Jones quote is hilarious... Especially the caption they added under his name.

 
2014 NFL Schedule release live blog: NFL versus Mark CubanBy Will Brinson | NFL Writer

On Wednesday night at 8 p.m. ET, the league will release the 2014 NFL schedule. The release of the schedule comes along with multiple primetime release shows.

This is not atypical of the NFL schedule release. (Also not atypical: people complaining about the NFL making a big deal out of this. Those people need to get a life and, you know, not watch if they're that passionate.)

What's different about the schedule release this year is it's about a week later than it usually is. In April of 2013, the 2013 NFL Schedule came on the 18th of the month. Now it's the 23rd, which means the NBA and NHL playoffs are in full swing.

And wouldn't you know it, but the NFL finds itself going head-to-head in competition for eyeballs with the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night.

Those Mavericks, of course, are owned by Mark Cuban.

And Cuban, naturally, recently said the NFL is 10 years away from "implosion."

It's a brilliant play by the NFL, even if it's just coincidental. (The NFL will say it is. I won't believe them. You can do what you want.)

If the NFL schedule shows on NFL Network and ESPN outdraw the Mavericks playoff game, it's the beatdown of Cuban's life. If they don't, well, of course they didn't. One is a show about schedules and the other is a live playoff game.

We'll have all the updates -- how about some freaking LEAKS? -- news, info and whatnot throughout the day and evening here. Book mark the page and make sure to refresh early and often.

apparently that rule has been changed and there can be occasional all-NFC or all-AFC games on the opposite network.

We'll soon see.

Perhaps a concession though for the extra flex games and enhanced thursday games.

Rumor has it the #Ravens open up the 2014 with back-to-back division home games vs. the Bengals, then the Steelers.

Seems like the Bengals open and close against the Ravens every year.

“@BenVolin: #Patriots play Bengals on SNF Week 5, Jets on Thursday night Week 7, Colts on SNF Week 11, Chargers on SNF Week 14”

Source - twitter which is way more reliable than the schedule release show happening in 15 minutes ;)

:lol: 1 for 17 - and that one was on the wrong day (at Washington Week 14)

apparently the most right anyone had was 8 in the week they'd be played.

The league just outright screws some teams.

Here's Cleveland:

Week 12: Sunday, Nov. 23, at Atlanta, 1 p.m.
Week 13: Sunday, Nov. 30, at Buffalo, 1 p.m.
Week 14: Sunday, Dec. 7, Indianapolis, 1 p.m.
Week 15: Sunday, Dec. 14, Cincinnati, 1 p.m.
Week 16: Sunday, Dec. 21, at Carolina, 1 p.m.
Week 17: Sunday, Dec. 28, at Baltimore, 1 p.m.

Hey guys just in case you were even thinking of being in the hunt in week 11... forget about it.

Here's Oakland:

Week 1: Sunday, Sept. 7, at NY Jets, 1 p.m.
Week 2: Sunday, Sept. 14, Houston, 4:25 p.m.
Week 3: Sunday, Sept. 21, at New England, 1 p.m.
Week 4: Sunday, Sept. 28, Miami, 1 p.m. (in London)
Week 5: BYE

Oh man.

So maybe I missed something, but why are the Lions playing the Bears on Thankgiving? I know they have that weird flex scheduling thing now where CBS/FOX can get different games, but why mess with the tradition of Thanksgiving?

While that does look insane - my guess is the road game at New England before the "home" game in London is actually doing them a favor. I'm sure they'll leave from NE to fly across the Atlantic for that game, thus making it about the shortest trip possible.

How is that messing with any tradition? The Lions and Cowboys are each still playing home games...what difference does it make whether they play NFC or AFC teams? I actually like it better that they will be playing division rivals.

Yeah I thought about that, but @NYJ and @NE are two of the toughest road venues in the league. They go cross country to a team that went 6-2 at home last year, then back home cross country where Schaub gets his old team, then back cross country to a team that went 8-0 at home last year, then across the pond (still with some time difference, even with acclimating in MA) where they get the honor of also losing a real home game. Then they get the early bye. I think they're lucky if they get out of that 1-3. They also get the NFCW with a road game at Seattle. Tough sledding.
