NFL releases opponents for 2011:
Home: Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Washington taterskins, Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, Chicago Bears, New England Patriots, New York Jets
Away: Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Washington taterskins, St. Louis Rams, Seattle Seahawks, Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins
i count at least 9 games that will be at 415 or primetime
At least until Vick blows out a knee.
11-5 book it
16-0 money back guarantee
I'd rather face the first place NFC opponents next year than the second place opponents. Winning the division could pay off even if the Eagles don't do anything in the playoffs.
I like that lineup of opponents.
It's a pretty tough home schedule. Away, not so much.
Miami and ATL are definite roadies.
Seattle is possible too
Rams is a definite for me
im in for buffalo...i like niagara falls a lot
i despise the south and atlanta and getting group tickets would be really expensive
i have no desire to go to miami other than the fact that there will be a million eagle fans...that would probably get me there if i flew
Getting group tickets in Miami is laughably inexpensive & easy. If you don't want to sit on the train for a day, that's fine, but don't discourage others with your nonsense.
man you are losing it
Don't make me turn this car around, mister.
Buffalo and Miami are def my top 2. Buffalo would strictly depend on the time of year. If the game is after Nov 1 then count me out.
Why would anyone choose to go to buffalo over miami under any circumstances?
less Cubans?

For me.....cost. Buffalo would most def be more affordable. Plus I've been to Miami several times and never been to Buffalo. Wouldn't mind checking out the area.
buffalo is a hell hole but niagara falls and the surrounding areas are awesome
ive never been to miami but have no desire whatsoever to go there and would pick buffalo everytime even in december
There is something seriously wrong with your brain.
Ha no kidding. How could you prefer some falling water to amazingly hot scantily clad women on a beach?
if you like the heat and the beach and the ocean fine...i mean i can totally understand people liking miami more than buffalo but travelling 2000 miles to see women in bikinis is about the dumbest thing ive ever heard of
There are lots of Democrats in Miami too, friend.
Cubans are Ronald Reagan loving Republicans. Amnesty for that ass!

They can't legally vote, and many actually don't.
But seriously, preferring Niagara Falls as a destination to Miami pretty much sums up the IGY life story.

one of the best times i ever had on a roadie was taking over a dive bar in downtown cincinnati
im going to a beach ocean area its going to be either off season somewhere or on a largely uninhabited island where its like those cornoa commericals or whatever they are....i dont need to put up with the douchebag fest that is miami...shteins wack
Buffalo over Miami in winter is hilarious even for the Igster.
I will say that if we get stuck with a September 1:00 day game that might be worse than Buffalo but only barely.

Got lots of beautiful, uninhabited beaches over here bro. Just bring some of that rye whiskey!
if i ever do fly again it wont be a 100 hour trip to hawaii
turks and caicos BITCH!!
igs has said a few times it's the sweat factor
cold + winter jackets >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> anything over 85 degrees
^^^^^^^
thats a huge factor in general....fat guys HATE heat
but miami specifically is not a place that appeals to me in any way
Miami sucks outside of a few nice beaches.
Probably sucks less than Buffalo, but it wasn't my favorite place when I was there a few years ago.
My company is based in Buffalo and they have a box and seats.
I may try to squeeze a couple out of them.

11 hours on a 747 isn't bad at all. It's worth it the first time your feet hit the ocean on the north shore.
And LOL @ Miami sucks. Jesus Christ what the hell is wrong with some of you?
astonishment that anyone would pick farging buffalo--which barely lives above the poverty line over one of the richest cities in the u.s.
bottom line--igy hates Hoyda and would rather cuddle with his HOF Ingram jersey watching the road in a tonawanda motel

For real????? I went to the mnf game in miami in either 2003 0r 2004 and it was amazing. 20k eagle fans running south beach and the stadium. 70 degrees when chicago was at 15? win win!!!
St.Louis is money for me and my 2 oldest kids. Hopefully psn and father demon show up to rape a blow up rams helmet and rock the ac/dc face paint. Best eagle game ever!!!
If you're not on South Beach (or some of the other nice beaches) or taking in the Miami nightlife Miami overall fairly sucks. What a lot of people don't talk about is how Miami is surrounded by ghettos. Florida is a horrible place to live. 90% of that over-sized swamp is someplace most people wouldn't ever want to live.
And Buffalo's a step above Cleveland. I'm surprised they still have an NFL team there.

Ok now you're just talking crazy. If you actually GO to Miami at some point you'll realize how ridiculous that statement is. Buffalo in December over Miami... yeah....
there were two bars that were owned by ex philly cops that were across the street from each other, they had the street blocked off and it was insane!!
Can we stop pretending that this is a conversation that needs to be had? No onewith a brain or an ability to have fun, anywhere, ever would choose to go to Buffalo instead of Miami. IGY is stirring the pot or he's just a big boring overly opinionated jackass. Either way, we don't need to pretend like this is a real topic of conversation.

yeah you pretty much didnt read anything i said...as far as the game goes...easy tickets and number of eagle fans...miami would be fine....i just have no desire to go to miami in general...theres nothing there that appeals to me....id take a dive bar in buffalo with all my peoples over some over priced awful club in miami...
weather isnt a factor (espcially on a football road trip) because i love the cold....and if i want to get away to the warmth and sun ill do a sleepy caribbean island over miami every farging time....i dont need to go to a cheesy zesty city to see the beach
Ha! Tell em, IGY... Buffalo/Niagara Falls over Miami all day! Damn sure wouldn't call The Falls awesome, but I feel you.
I can do both Buffalo and Atlanta without even trying. Those are the two stadiums I've been to more than any others in my life. Sad, I know.
we stayed up in an awesome bed and breakfast in niagra falls a few years ago and loved it even if it was a little to touristy...but we traveled around the area almost more than we were at niagra falls....i especially liked niagara on the lake...sweet little town
falls are amazing tho...i could sit and watch them all day
did you make small talk with the locals and visit the little 'quaint' shops too? I think I'm gonna be sick.
talked a lot of hockey with the bar flys over some wonderful molsons
but yes niagara on the lake has some awesome shops...it was like a much better version of new hope
shops with what--waterfall charm necklaces?
this is worse than how many pairs of jeans you own.

Yeah, Niagara Falls has two sides to it. Niagara on the lake and the surrounding area on the Ontario side (Clifton Hill) are pretty cool. Lots of things to get into and enjoy. The New York side, where I grew up... is a piece of shtein.

I liked the Hamburg area. A lot of awesome houses there. Nice looking area for sure.
Buffalo was a shtein hole.
We didnt make it to Niagra so perhaps this time we will. With Havas as a tour guide
We played against Hamburg a lot in HS. Biggest corn-fed motherfargers I ever seen in my life. I swear, even the damn QB ran about 315.
They wore purple too. Ever had to tackle a big motherfarger wearing purple? shtein's intimidating...

I will plant the seed for the tickets and if you're going to go book the hotel early because they price gouge the nights before games
the other cf would not be pleased with any of this.
:CF is not pleased with any of this
I heard you can get some killer chicken wings in Buffalo.
James Starks is from Niagara Falls.
Yet another reason it's way awesomer than Miami?!? Where do I sign up for that hot roadie? farg you.
rumors that the Bills game will be in Toronto on November 13 or 20
OMGWILLMIKEVICKBEALLOWEDTOLEAVETHECOUNTRY?!?!? :crazy :crazy :crazy
Edit: Les Bowen says it isn't happening.
2 confirmed games:
Week 3 (9/25) = vs Giants
Week 11 (11/20) = at Giants
Cmon easy, fill in those gaps
more FWIW leaks:
-- open the season @ St. Louis and @ Atlanta
-- 11/7 vs Chicago on MNF
-- 12/11 @ Miami
miami in december looks like a winner.
Yeah, but it's definitely no Buffalo in December
another farg up by the NFL..scheduling my weekend Miami the same weekend as army/navy
Opening @ St Louis is nice. Going to Atl in week 2 wouldn't be that bad either since the Eagles seem to have their number. If they do end up opening with 2 road games, it could certainly be worse than that.
the 11/7 MNF vs Chicago has been confirmed
that monday is my monday off....good job easy
New Years Day vs Washington to end the season
farga rumor...its past 7....post that shtein already
01 = @ St. Louis 1PM
02 = @ Atlanta NBC
03 = vs NY Giants 1PM
04 = vs San Francisco 1PM
05 = @ Buffalo 1PM
06 = @ Washington 1PM
07 = BYE

At least if the NE game is a blowout, they can rest their starters since they'll have a whole 2 days before a cross-country flight for a Thursday game
i know no one gives a shtein but id just like to say that this schedule could not have worked out any better for me personally
i care buddy
thanks pal
its a great fat guy schedule too...no home game until almost october so hopefully no really hot games
The schedule is released and the draft is coming up, yet no one seems to care. This lockout shtein blows!

Aside from the obvious Rams game for me, I'm leaning to Buffalo in October or Miami in December. Trouble with Miami is Gino has navy seasons, and the Army / Navy game may farg up plans to be warm in December.
You leaning Buffalo, Sarge?
For some strange reason I'd like to, but I have no idea right now. I'm thinking about Seattle too because I could make a long weekend of it and take my kids. But I don't know if I want their first game to be an away game since I usually like to party up on the roadies.
St Louis FTW!
same primetime set up as last year, i believe
3 nbc games
1 mnf
1 thursday
1-2 possible flex games for snf
good sked but that seattle game could be a disaster. i wonder if this the nfl paying the eagles back for arizona coming here on a thursday, laying down and giving the eagles a freebie.
also anyone see the mnf sked? http://espn.go.com/nfl/schedule/_/seasontype/0
2 appearances by the jags, rams and chiefs. a late season san fran game. the lions. seattle. the vikings.
the espn people have got to be pissed.
Miami on Dec. 11 = GOAT.
Sorry, DH, but you hate Florida anyway, so...

I imagine that has something to do with the league wanting to get Jville some national exposure to ensure that a move to LA happens. Goodell has said he wants football in LA and I think behind closed doors he wants it to be Jax since they are the least "historic" team out of the ones being considered (Minny, Buf most notably and to a lesser extent, St Louis.).
So this is probably the league's way of trying to sell the idea to any potential investors.
Still though.....epic fail by the league to give the Eagles one MNF game. Vick and Pimp = Ratings. Not to mention, that the one game they get is against the Bears? Who the hell wants to watch that in primetime? Eagles/Division Opponent? Anyone? Anyone? That's pretty dumb on the league's part.
no. 5 and no. 3 markets, sassy. it will do just fine.
eagles have 5 primetime games. thats the max, not counting the extra 6th for a flex. snf is the bigger package these days. not sure exactly how its divided but generally the really marquee teams are on snf more than mnf.
jacksonville from what i understand got 2 mnf home games to boost ticket sales, not really about giving them exposure. they are there and no one will ever give a shtein. they didnt sell out any games last year and with the LA rumors, obviously ownership pulled some strings and bought some favors to get those games even though they will not rate as well as some other options would have.
but anyway these things with tv games are all gives and takes by the league to the networks. each network keeps track of what gifts it gets and what gifts it doesnt get, whines and complains, and are thrown bones. remember this and wait for next year, im sure espn will have some really nice match ups in 2012.
no matter who plays
monday night football is going to average around 17-20 million viewers a week
be the number show on cable
and make gobs of money
they dont care about the matchups as much as you think
Your haikus need some serious work, IGY.
None of this is even remotely interesting.
actually the networks care an enormous amount what games they get, and a bad matchup and bad game can easily dip down to the low teens while a good matchup and good game will shoot over 20
and when you see jax, kc, sf, sea all over the schedule it very might well lead to a bunch of terrible blowout games involving smaller market teams.
and even if jacksonville is 11-0 when they play theyre still jacksonville and no one will give a shtein.
they really dont...would they like chicago green bay every week of course...but the bottom line is they are averaging within a couple million people the same every year for monday football no matter who plays
thats because the matchups generally fluctuate between good and bad. what im saying is they for whatever reason have a lot of bad matchups this year which will probably bring the ratings way down.
