The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

Take it with a grain of salt, but I stumbled across a blog that's claiming to have accessed the upcoming 2012 schedule. I have no way of checking it's accuracy but I figured for S's & G's I'd post it anyways.

The NFL is (of course) denying this schedule, calling it "bogus." I'm not going to put a lot of stock in it, but I will say there is a TON of information here. So either he's right or REALLY bored with NO social life.

The author claimed he found a way to access it via NFL.com (which may or may not be truthful... I'll at least say plausible). So whether it's a true leak or you're looking an entertaining read over the weekend, here's the links below:

NFL changed their bye week scheduling from last year. For the 2011 season, bye weeks lasted from Week 5 - Week 11 (excluding week 10).

For the 2012 season, bye weeks are from Week 5 - Week 10.

NFL Thursday Night Football - All 32 teams play one game on a Thursday.

NFL Network carries a total of 13 games from Week 2 - Week 16, excluding Week 8 (MLB World Series) and Week 12 (NBC carries the Thanksgiving primetime game). The NFL really tried to limit teams from traveling cross-country for Thursday Night Football and it mostly worked (except for the Buffalo Bills at San Francisco 49ers in Week 10 and the Oakland Raiders at the Cincinnati Bengals Week 11). Also every team playing on Thursday has a Sunday game the prior week (except for the San Francisco 49ers, who have their bye week).

The New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys will kick off the NFL Season on Wednesday, September 5th on NBC. They also lead the league in appearances in primetime with 5 games each. The Philadelphia Eagles, New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears, New York Jets, Baltimore Ravens, and Denver Broncos all have 4 appearances.

The NFL International Series continues with the New England Patriots at the St. Louis Rams on October 28th in London, England and the New York Jets at the Buffalo Bills on December 16th in Toronto, Canada.

Week 1 of the 2012 NFL season is highlighted by NBC Sunday Night Football matchup of the Houston Texans at the Denver Broncos on September 9th. On Monday, September 10th, ESPN carries a double header lineup of the Green Bay Packers at the Detroit Lions at 7:00pm and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Oakland Raiders at 10:15pm.

The Thanksgiving lineup for the 2012 NFL season features the Houston Texans at the Detroit Lions (12:30pm CBS), the New Orleans Saints at the Dallas Cowboys (4:15pm FOX), and the New England Patriots at the Tennessee Titans (8:20pm NBC).

The ESPN Monday Night Football Game on December 24th featuring the Denver Broncos at the Oakland Raiders has been moved from 8:30pm to 8:00pm.

For "snickers and giggles" (I'm certain that's what it means... [-X

)...

I'm sure the League could explain why the first game with every NFC East opponent has the Redskins away...

i know the teams have been set in stone since last year, but looking at that schedule, there's a not of easy games...

Or at least John Mara probably could. :roll:

Just a reminder that this is a family friendly forum. Obscenities are to be limited to Smack. Consider this your warning...

I feel so glad that I'm around a group of fans that can predict how easy or tough a schedule is ... 6 months in advance :shock:

you guys are good - it almost makes me feel humble :roll:

its not good for anybody in the division because we have the NFC South and the AFC North. No wild cards coming out of the East this year.

Bucs, Browns, Panthers, Bengals aren't so tough. I don't see that schedule necessarily holding down NFC East teams.

3 prime time games in the first 6 weeks

3 consecutive home games to close the season.

3 consecutive division games in weeks 4,5 and 6.

Only 3 home games in the first 8

The first 8 games look like it'll be tough on a rookie QB, after that it'll be manageable.

I hope this is fake actually, I dont like it for getting a rookie QB comfortable.

maybe there'll be more teams pulling what I term a "Canes" = hoping to suck for Barkley this season - maybe those teams will be on our schedule - OTHERWISE ....

every game is tough ... even when you have the best rookie QB in the NFL :lol:

That would be "playing darkly for Barkley"...

...and so it begins (for some other team).

I like it - you should patent it before Canes points out that we made a mistake in not losing a few more games :wink:

It doesn't show any late afternoon games.......do they determine who plays early and late later in the off season?????

Fall flat for Matt.

If this schedule is true. And, who knows why anyone would make up something like this with so much detail. But, if it's correct, we will be in for some exciting games.

For one, the Ravens Redskins game is a rarity.

RG3 will face off against Michael Vick twice. Drew Brees, Roethlisberger Josh Freeman, Matt Ryan, and last year's phenoms Cam Newton & Andy Dalton. Should be a good test.

Of course he plays against defenses, but for comparison purposes, there will be some good QBs on the other sidelines.

The real one will be out on next Tuesday

We play them every four years. It's just the rotation.
