There's literally one weekend I can't have New Orleans weekend...if that happens I will be murdering someone. Or at least whining loudly.

Title: Re: 2012 Schedule Thread
Post by: ice grillin you on April 17, 2012, 07:14:32 PM
holy christ...i have every other monday off and even with that out of the eight home games i only have off after one of them

three was my previous all time low....farging awful

on the other hand new orleans couldnt be more perfect....i was hoping it would be a monday so that i could have the whole first weekend to party there without having to worry about getting up for a 1pm sunday game...plus it falls on a monday off week so less leave i have to take...on the downside monday night means less eagle fans

pittsburgh game also couldnt fall on a better weekend...its on the road on columbus day weekend.....which is beauftiful as that is the weekend i always trya nd go to the outer banks for a week....so i always root for a road game or else i couldnt go...and my regular monday off falls on columbus day this year so i got a four day weekend.....thus three days of leave = seven

the schedule giveth and the schedule taketh away...all in all i rate it a 7.5 this year

as for on the field....i dont think that schedule could possibly be any better

only one back to back roadie and tampa is one half of it

home after their monday night roadie


most importantly because their thursday night game is followed by a home game that means nine days off in december....thats huge at that time of year to be able to get healthy for a stretch run and into the playoffs

in fact from dec 10 to december 29 the team will not leave the city of philadelphia meaning everyone gets to chillax at their homes

and even when they do travel its to ny on a train

Quote...That brings the tally to a staggering 7 games (almost half of their schedule) in which the Eagles will have at least 1 less day of rest/preparation than their opponent.

That's just a complete and total failure by the NFL.

I can almost hear Stan Walters screaming. The former Eagles tackle always believed the NFL stacked the deck in favor of the Dallas Cowboys and against the Eagles – and if he saw the 2012 schedule he would say, "See, I told you."

Look at the Thanksgiving turnaround (see schedule breakdown). The Cowboys play their traditional Turkey Day home game against Washington then have nine days off before the Eagles come to town for a prime-time game Sunday, Dec. 2.

The Eagles, by contrast, play Carolina in a Monday night game at the Linc on Nov. 26 and then have to get ready for the Cowboys on a very short week.

The Cowboys have nine days to prepare, the Eagles have five. Four, actually, since they have to travel on Saturday. The Cowboys get to stay at home the whole time while the Eagles have to fly to Dallas.

Big Stan, bless his heart, would be calling for an investigation.

Blame Tex Schramm, the late Cowboys president. He raised his hand at a league meeting years ago when Commissioner Pete Rozelle asked what team would be willing to host the second game of the Thanksgiving doubleheader. (The league had one game established in Detroit and wanted to add another for the national TV audience.)

Schramm saw it as a great showcase for his franchise so he jumped at the chance. The Cowboys have been playing on Thanksgiving Day for so long now, they know how to plan and how to practice. They have it down to a science.

They play the game then they get that extra time off to rest and regroup. For years, the Cowboys' winning percentage in December was among the best in the league and that was one of the reasons.

This season, the Eagles will catch the Cowboys coming off that holiday break and Andy Reid's team will be coming off (a) a night game and (b) a short week. That's not an easy task.

There is another difficult aspect to the Eagles' 2012 schedule: They play four teams that are coming off bye weeks, three of them in a row. Pittsburgh (Oct. 7), Detroit (Oct. 14) and Atlanta (Oct. 28) all have the week off prior to playing the Eagles. Washington also is coming off a bye when it hosts the Eagles on Nov. 18. Those teams will be well-rested and ready to go.

You can call the Atlanta game a wash because the Eagles also are coming off their bye week and Reid does not lose coming off the bye, but still that's a tough stretch. At least three teams that figure to be playoff contenders -- we are excluding Washington out of force of habit -- and they all have an extra week to prepare for the Eagles.

On the plus side, the Eagles obviously still have star power in the eyes of the networks despite the 8-8 finish last season. They have five prime-time games. No team has more. Two of those games are against division opponents and the Eagles have won their last six prime-time games against teams from the NFC East.

The Eagles could catch a few teams looking ahead. Baltimore, the Eagles' opponent in the home opener (Sept. 16), plays New England the following week so they might have Tom Brady on their mind. Pittsburgh has a short week before playing Tennessee on Thursday. Detroit has a Monday night date in Chicago immediately after visiting the Linc.

Of course, this could all mean nothing.

When the schedule came out this time last year, who thought the Eagles would lose at home to San Francisco and Arizona? And Week 5 in Buffalo -- no snow, mild breeze – looked like an easy win. How did that work out?

This is the NFL, crazy things happen.

But the game in Dallas? I want to hear what Stan Walters has to say about that.

Have a question for Ray Didinger? E-mail him at viewfromthehall@comcast.net.

all time nfl history 16 teams have better than .500 records after a bye...which means half dont

in other words its not really a great advantage if its one at all

the good teams win and the bad teams lose
