NFL Schedule Drops Tonight!

The NFL schedule is a work, has been for years.

Watching Red Zone is for fantasy geeks. Not my thing.

Then DVR the game or switch to red zone during the commercials. Or sit there and watch them like an idiot, nobody cares.

The frequency of commercials is the issue, not what I do during them.

Doesn't sound like it...sounds more like a personal problem.

When a meaningless game like the pro bowl is doubling the al/Nl CS you don't have any room to talk. Go back to the mlb section with your 4 friends and leave the 10 of us in the nfl section alone.

Sounds like you can't handle a simple discussion without getting bent out of shape.

CBS used to be the biggest offender of endless commercials during games, but now everyone has caught up. Catch a touchdown, kick the extra point, then a full commercial break, followed by kickoff, followed by a full commercial break. I see no reason why they cannot just spend the time between the kickoff return and the first play just having a discussion in the booth.

Oh, no doubt in that. From a business side it is genius. From a fan side it sucks.

Sounds like you have no sense of humor whatsoever.

I was making fun of VSN more than baseball but you obviously failed to see that. Shocker since you're such a funny man around here.

If you take a look at the 2014 NFL schedule, the first thing you'll probably notice is that the regular season kicks off in Seattle on Sept. 4 in prime time.

If you keep looking at the schedule though, you may notice something else: The defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks have zero prime-time home games after Week 1. That might sound odd -- and it is odd -- but apparently, there's a reason for it.

A league source told ProFootballTalk that the Seahawks didn't get anymore prime-time home games because the NFL was "wary of putting Seahawks home games on in prime time due to their track record of blowouts in nationally televised games played in Seattle the last several seasons."

You read that right. Apparently, the Seahawks are too good for prime time and they aren't playing night games at home because the NFL doesn't want everyone in the country to turn off the game at halftime with the Seahawks leading 47-0.

The report actually makes some sense. For example, here are the scores of the Seahawks past three prime-time home games: 34-7, 29-3, 42-13. Those were wins over the Saints and 49ers in 2013 and the 49ers in '12.

The "Fail Mary" game against the Packers in September 2012, a 14-12 Seattle win, is the only home prime-time game the Seahawks haven't won by double digits since November 2007. In their past eight prime-time regular-season home games, the Seahawks are 8-0 and have outscored their opponents 220-68.

The last time the Seahawks lost a prime-time home game was a 28-17 Sunday night loss to the Saints on Oct. 14, 2007.

The Seahawks will play a total of four prime-time games in 2014, but only the opener will be at home. The other three -- Washington in Week 5, San Francisco on Thanksgiving and Arizona in Week 16 -- are all on the road.

Expanding on this.

It's no secret the NFL has catered the schedule over the years to teams that they project to be good, or slightly more accurately, that they project to be draws. The idea is to give these teams advantages at every possible turn.

Peter King was on WFAN earlier today, and said that the original schedule the computers churned out had Seattle @Rams, @Redskins, @Chiefs back to back to back Weeks 5-6-7. They ran this by Seattle before finalizing it, and Seattle went "berserk". So the league ripped it up and started over.

The "new" schedule has the Rams playing three straight road games Weeks 8-9-10. This is the second time in 4 years the Rams will play three straight road games.

Why the hate for the RedZone Channel? You will still watch over half of every single game on the schedule. Closer to 50% for the 1pm games, damn near all of the 4pm games.

If you want to watch your FAVE TEAM, cool. But if you're just jerkin around watchin fubaw on a Sunday...RZC > *
