Is it just me or is the regular season starting later and later. In 2 years it will be starting in October.

For those looking to us for our Tailgate Party Schedule, Early indication is that the two biggest parties are looking like the Home Opener (Week #2) vs the Chiefs, and the November 14th game verse the Jets.
We will hold our customary THE BROWNS BOARD TAILGATE PARTY for the first five Regular Season games. The final three games will not be planned at this time and we may hold the gathering at a local establishment.
If you plan to come in for our Tailgate Party, we need a definate confirmation the Monday before that weekends game, along with your parties head count.
If you need help with travel reservations, please advise.

Well at least we have no west coast trips i guess, but pretty bummed about no primetime games.

As I noted in another thread, next year the Browns will likely have 3 West Coast trips.

Look at the bright side of this schedule.
All of our games are on the east coast except for St. Louis Rams that is the farthest west we travel.
This make me feel good over the schedule, players wont have to adapt to time changes as much.
IMO: the worst game to ever have to play is a Thursday Night on the road. Most guys are just finishing the mending process of healing bumps, bruises and starined muscles from playing on sunday.

???? Where do you see that we are playing the Rams this year?

i don't know if you saw it, but the nfl really set up the steeler's schedule for the most publicity possible. their first 4 games are at 1, then a bye week followed by the browns. is there any doubt that big ben will be suspended 4 games now? he will miss the first four games (none of which are prime time) and then come back for the rivalry game, where i'm sure will be full of talk and build up. they then follow that with 5 prime time games in 11 weeks. this is ridiculous. the nfl could have had some balls and put them in a prime time game where they had to play without big ben, but they chickened out. nice going roger.

Well, like I said somewhere else, there is nothing like a Freak show to get ratings, and right now, that is what the Steelers are:

has anyone else noticed that the redskins get 3 prime time games? what a crock. they were terrible and deserve none. not that i'm saying that we do, but if the redskins have three, we should at least get 1.

Agreed, the regular season should at least have begun a week earlier, on Sept. 5th.
The only thing I can figure is that the NFL is priming us for when they want to go to an 18 game schedule. In an 18 game schedule they will HAVE to start the season 2 weeks earlier. They cannot extend the regular season past the first week of January, so they will have to start an 18 game season in late August. E.g. this year they would have had to begin on August 29th (or Aug. 26th if they still do that Thursday night opener).

I would have thought the October 3rd home game vs. the pussycats would have been optimal, weatherwise.

They have Donovan McNabb...and the fact is, it may be that they are actually giving their opponents those prime time dates. I didn't see it, but correct me if I am wrong but I bet that the Cowboys/Giants/Eagles are probably a couple of those games?
The Cowboys/Redskins rivalry still holds some weight with the networks, and I am sure they probably want to give the Redskins/McNabb/Eagles grudge match a full national view.
Plus, the Giants are in NYC, and NYC is the largest market and will always get preference.
Fair to say?

Probably just you.
The season has been pegged at the first weekend after Labor Day for some time. Sometimes Labor Day comes earlier in the month as it is always the first Monday in Sept.

We'll be 9-7
wins vs steelers (2), bengals (2), bucs, chiefs, jaguars, dolphins, bills
BARK ORANGE & BROWN -
and the 21st hardest schedule lol.Rorbotron said:

Um yea I said that because you don't have any primetime games AND a tough schedule. I guess that's the price you pay for going 5-11 but hey you beat the Steelers once. Isn't that like winning the lottery in Cleveland? At least you have the Cavs
<--------- Cavs fan most of my life.

Toughest schedule is simply luck of the draw, so no need making it something it isn't.
The cycle in which we play the various divisions is set several years in advance. There are only two games a year we don't know who we are going to play....and it is those 2 games the schedule makers pit us against a team with a similar record.

We will take down the Falcons & Ravens too.
After a few beers last night, I had us at 13-2-1

we'll manage to lose to the bengals once. we always do. i'm thinking that we'll beat the pats this year.

i wonder if the sunday night game flex schedule will end up affecting the browns? also, the browns schedule maybe be the 10th toughest on paper at the moment, but as we've seen in the past that could be subject to change by things like injuries and teams not being as good as they were projected to be. we shall see.
