BwanaZulia Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Nice... April 6th... just a mere two days away until I can plan every trip of the year (Green Bay, Miami) know which games I will be watching at home, who I will be inviting... So much excitement.

raffyD Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 First game of the year on the road- who do you want to see the Jets play-opinions? I guess it can't be the Pats (because I think they already have their game scheduled) but I would like to start off the year in Foxboro, Mentee v. Mentor, Noodlearm v. gaypornboy. That would be sweet! If not Pats then I would have to vote for Tenessee because I'd like to make that a long weekend road trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since CBS has already indicated that all AFC games will be local only that weekend due to the US Open & we're on the road - an NFC/AFC game against the Packers could be in the cards...

BwanaZulia Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Green Bay in September- the ideal time for a road trip to Packerland Done and done. I have a good GB fan who comes from way-out-there so it would be a great trip. I would, however, rather have it be like the 2nd or 3rd game to make it be easier to get tickets.

124 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Good deal. Thursday I have no work and get done with school at 1:18 so I'll be expecting to see the schedule in a matter of 30 minutes after I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously folks, I put together the list bases on Jet fanship, friendship, marriage (gotta take her to the Dolphin game) and loyalty. It is a complex scheme.

Smizzy Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I hear the NFL is going to have a flexible schedule....So say week 8 ,instead of having 2 teams who are 1-7 and 0-8 they will have the right to move any game scheduled for 1pm to a night game for Sunday night football. So season ticket holder will now have to keep an eye out for this move no later than 12 days till game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smizzy Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 thats friggin crazy....what happens to the fans that travel to see there teams...they get screwed??? The NFL is giving the NFL fan 12 days to figure it out. I don't think it's a bad deal. No more watching ****ty teams on Sunday night. And since the schedule hasn't been released and they are making this announcement first...It's fair. Sure some guys won't be able to go to a 8pm kickoff because of work...but I doubt we have to worry about our schedule getting changed...It should be a season or 2 before we are competitive.

SeniorFlaJet Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Here's where the fans get screwed. Say a bunch of Jet fans are going to another city to watch them. And its not only Jet fans. You have to asssume that you have plane reservations and if you have to change them with 12 days notice you get hit with a charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smizzy Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 NFL | League announces plans for Sunday night games Wed, 5 Apr 2006 05:58:18 -0700 Barry Wilner, of the Associated Press, reports the NFL plans to hold off scheduling Sunday night games in seven of the final eight weeks to ensure the best games are played on NBC. The league has long wanted some kind of flexible scheduling, but could never implement one until now. For Weeks 10-15 and Week 17, the final regular-season weekend, all Sunday games will be listed with start times of 1 p.m. or 4:05-4:15 p.m. EST. The league must then announce which match will be played Sunday night at least 12 days before the date of the game. The only exception is the season finale on Dec. 31, when the switch must be made no later than six days before the game. CBS and FOX each has the option to protect five games in the seven weeks of flexible scheduling, but can't protect more than one game per week. Week 16 is Christmas weekend and no game will be switched. Unlike in the past, teams are allowed to play in consecutive Sunday night games. To make the system more flexible, up to three teams each season will be allowed a bonus sixth prime-time appearance . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to asssume that you have plane reservations and if you have to change them with 12 days notice you get hit with a charge. The only difference would be that teams affected by the change would play at 8:00 PM instead of 1:00 or 4:00 PM. Don't most out of town fans fly out on Monday anyway?

124 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I don't see how it's screwing the fans over. It's giving the fans around the league to see better competition every Sunday night. Also for the fans who have tickets to the game, how is it screwing them over? For the home fans they're going to the game no mattef ir it's at 1, 4 or 8. For the road teams fan if they're driving or flying back then they should be doing that the next day, not right after the game. They'd have to be fools to do it. This helps and makes the league better, IMO. Nothing is bad about this at all, nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very easy getting 100 hotel rooms on short notice, especially in major metropolitan cities. Teams have chartered flights and will always fly out after a night game is over, not the next day.

Don't most out of town fans fly out on Monday anyway? When I come up for a 1 o'clock game on a Sunday I usually stay over for a few days because i have family. But there was one time after a 1 pm game that i had to leave Sunday night to go back to Fla. There were about 10 Jet fans on the flight back to Orlando. I didn't want to make a big deal out of this. My point was that if any one would get screwed it would be a fan, not the networks and not the teams involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scheduled is being released same as always except 1 game is being pushed back a couple hours each week and they will let you know almost 2 weeks in advance what time. It's not a big deal either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a big deal either way. I agree, it's really no big deal. But trying to secure 100 hotel rooms on 12 days notice is virtually impossible. But with that said, teams will always fly out after the game, so it's a moot point anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
