cd1 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Looks like TODAY is the day! https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2019/04/16/nfl-schedule-release-date-time-regular-season-games/3482898002/ Quote NFL to release its 2019 schedule NFL teams and fans will learn who plays whom and when Wednesday in the league's landmark 100th season. We do know in advance that the league will depart from recent precedent of having the defending champion host the Thursday night opener. Instead, the Chicago Bears will host the Green Bay Packers on Sept. 5. Super Bowl LIII champ New England is expected to host the Sunday Night Football matchup in Week 1. Make sure to follow USA TODAY Sports for all the latest news as the NFL will reveal its 2019 regular season schedule at 8 p.m. ET.

It looks like a very balanced schedule, and having the bye the week before a Thursday game makes sense. It also follows the NFL's recent trend of divisional matchups in W17. It actually looks "kinda legit" to me. We'll know in about 13 hours. Edit: by the way, I looked at last year's schedule and there were a total of four "back-to-back" home and away games. This leaked schedule has five. Edited April 17, 2019 by eball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there are rules for bye weeks, and they can't be next to a Thursday game. Also, it is so rare to get a 4:00 home game in buffalo, let alone against a team that is not expected to be a huge draw nationally in the broncos. These fake schedule's getting released are a new trend on schedule release day. Started with the Browns having 5 primetime games on their schedule leak......

Aussie Joe Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 If that leaked schedule is correct I would have my eye on the back to back games at NYJ and Pit for my next trip.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe teams are precluded from having a bye before a Thursday game -- in fact, that scenario should be preferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corta765 Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 The leaked schedule does look pretty legit and follows the model the NFL uses. The only red flag I would have is Dallas on a Thursday Night. It seems like kinda weird considering the opponents Dallas also has and the fact they already play Thursday for Thanksgiving. That said I would loveee a Dallas TNF game and the two 4:00pm games would be very nice also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a thought going around that the NFL is going to schedule a large number of former Super Bowl matchups in primetime as part of the 100 anniversary celebration. The Bills obviously play all of their former opponents this year so if it happens, I wouldn't be surprised to see us play a TNF game against the Skins, Giants or Cowboys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps every week >= 6 is shown as flexed regardless if a particular game (TNF) cannot be flexed. I would hope that the NFL schedule makers would be capable enough not to place an * on TNF as a flex game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope that the NFL schedule makers would be capable enough not to place an * on TNF as a flex game. Based on last year's rules, it's incorrect. http://www.nfl.com/flexible-schedules NFL Flexible Scheduling 101 Begins Sunday of Week 5 In effect during Weeks 5-17 Up to 2 games may be flexed into Sunday Night between Weeks 5-10 Only Sunday afternoon games are subject to being moved into the Sunday night window. The game that has been tentatively scheduled for Sunday night during flex weeks will be listed at 8:15 p.m. ET. The majority of games on Sundays will be listed at 1:00 p.m. ET during flex weeks except for games played in Pacific or Mountain Time zones which will be listed at 4:05 or 4:15 p.m. ET. No impact on Thursday, Saturday or Monday night games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, based on that for week one Pitt is the only away option, while home still has Denver, Baltimore, Philly & Washington as options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
