Realist Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Usually announced mid to late April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richNjoisy Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 The schedule was released last year on April 13th and the year before on April 15th. The draft is late this year which may delay the release of the schedule plus there will be the usual requests from the networks to have a flexible portion to the season (moving games in the latter half of the year to make primetime games "good" games etc). This "discussion" may also impact the release of the schedule. Bills have opened at home 6 straight years - we are so due to start on the road it's ridiculous. -RichNJoisy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 The Bills usually hold their Select-a-Seat event the first weekend in May, so the schedule is announced before then - usually a couple of weeks before the draft (April 29). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Flanders Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 plus there will be the usual requests from the networks to have a flexible portion to the season (moving games in the latter half of the year to make primetime games "good" games etc). This "discussion" may also impact the release of the schedule. 635986[/snapback] This is especially true this year, with NBC getting a say on late-season Sunday night games. Expect times of games in the second half of the season all to be listed as 'TBD.' (No, not 'Two Bills Drive!') I believe the NFL Network made a big deal on the official schedule announcement last year, in that they carried it live, etc. Some outlets, however, leaked the schedule before the 'official' announcement. (I think I remember the NY Daily News leaked the Jints/Jets sched a few days before they were 'official.') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some private "slaps on the wrist" for that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Already leaked: Philly vs. Raiders in the Hall of Fame game. Yeah, it is just a pre-season, but it is a leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiew Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 If anyone hears any leaks re the Bills/Houston game or Bills/Bears game, I would appreciate you letting me know. We want to be right on the ball to block hotel rooms quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be awards for flexibility and endurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
