When Do the Schedules come out?

[Outfitter17]

I was just wondering when the 2009 schedules will be released?

[Rick]

Before mid April but likely this week.

it comes out tonight

The opponents are known, now we're just waiting for the dates and times.

All I could find out was the pre season, we have the colts, chiefs, texans, and the cowboys to finish it off.

Non-Divisional Games:

Home - SF, SEA, NYG, Balt, Cincy

Away - AZ, STL, CAR, CLE, Pitt

That looks like a easier schedule then last years.

The league has already stated that the schedules would be out by Mid-April as always. They would not give a definite date.

Who teams play has already been out for some time now.

I believe it will come out this week.

[Rick]

That looks like a easier schedule then last years.

It sure helps to be playing the NFC West & AFC North this year rather than the NFC South and AFC South.

[Double D]

I don't know about being too easy.

I see we play both Super Bowl teams on the road; I'm thinking those might be tough.

Maybe our divisional games will be the easy part of the schedule?

Arizona is a different team then they were last year

They all are. If you base ease of schedule from previous years one loss record the teams we play are significantly easier now than it was at the same time last year.

[Scott K]

Agreed!

[LMITOUT]

Schedules to be released on Tuesday.

[Jim Uran]

I hope fans aren't looking at their schedule and see us and say OH good we play the vikings!! Who am I kidding that doesn't happen, that's only when they see the other North Division teams.

[LMITOUT]

Two MNF games for the Vikes against the Pack and Bears, plus a Sunday night game at Carolina.

Packers get Baltimore at home on MNF and open the season against the Bears on Sunday night which is also at home.

Green Bay also gets the Turducken game against the Lions. Oakland vs. Dallas and NYG at Denver are the other two Thanksgiving games.

Lions host the Vikes on week #2.....could it be the one to break their long winless streak???

I wish the NFL would change up the Thanksgiving day lineup. Detroit kind of spoils it if you ask me.
