Can't wait for Thursday!!!!

I think there are going to be a couple of surprises on the schedule this year. I will be shocked if we don't have a Sunday Nighter. I think we will have 2 MNF games this year as well. Also how awesome is that Leinart/Palmer matchup going to be. I am predicting a SNF game against the Saints and a MNF game with PIT(As well as our MNF with SF).

Close, but no cigar. Cards already have 1 MNF game...I think the PITT game will be SNF and that will do it for national exposure this year.

 

[Gee!]

Raiders had like 4 MNF games last year.. It can happen..

No it cant and no it wont.

 

[Gee!]

No it cant and no it wont.

Why not? How can you be so definite? Im not saying we'll get four, but come on.. We have Leinart as a draw and the CHI-AZ game was the most talked about MNF game last year..

What do you base it on that there is no way we wont have 2 MNF games? We already have one.. All we need is one more...

 

[O]

When we're in the hunt at the end of the season the night games will come.

Good or bad, the Raiders have a much, much larger national fan base than the Cards.

Umm.Isn't the schedule coming out on Tuesday?

Fan base plain and simple. On top of that our years of mediocrity far outweigh anything the Raiders have done.

We have been the sexy pick for three years now and proved nothing. The only thing that may alter that would be the NFL's new rotating schedule. If we are in the thick of it at th end we may get anothe rprime time game or two. If not we will be out!

 

[O]

. "WHEN" we are in the thick of it at th end we may get anothe rprime time game or two. If not we will be out!

Fixed it for you.

April 5

 

[BigRedRage]

I cant wait soley because im gonna be in florida oct 3rd-9th and im hoping its our bye week as i dont want to sell one of my tickets nor miss an away game on tv

 

[Scot1]

I am a very committed Cards fan, and if I somehow got total control of all TV coverage, I wouldn't schedule the Cards to 2 national games. 2 years ago, everybody said 'break-out year'. Last year, same thing. This year, I hope, I pray, but I don't bet a nickel, let alone ratings differential, till there's proof--or at least a capable LT.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

i thought the schedule was to be released April 3rd, Tuesday as well.

 

[AzWins23]

So what is everyone going to do? Are you going to wait, or are you going to be on-line to find the leak?? Im going to stay off this board Thursday all day...Im going to wait it out!

 

[azsouthendzone]

Close, but no cigar. Cards already have 1 MNF game...I think the PITT game will be SNF and that will do it for national exposure this year.

WRONG. We will also have the NFC Divisional Playoffs, NFC Conference Title game, and the Super Bowl. That will make 5 national games.

Release of regular-season NFL schedule delayed

By Len Pasquarelli
ESPN.com

Fans anxious to begin making plans for the 2007 NFL regular-season schedule will have to wait a little longer.

A league official confirmed Monday that the much-anticipated announcement of the regular-season schedule, originally set for Thursday, will be delayed. The schedule could be released as early as next week now, with the roll-out coming no later than April 19.

The delay was first reported by NFL.com, the league-owned Web site.

The league did announce its full preseason schedule on Monday afternoon.

Last week, at its annual meetings in Phoenix, the NFL unveiled its nationally televised opening week matchups for Sept. 6-10 and its three Thanksgiving Day games. The regular season kicks off Sept. 6 when the Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts host the New Orleans Saints.

The NFL tentatively planned to roll out the rest of the regular-season schedule during a two-hour bloc on the NFL Network on Thursday afternoon. But an NFL official suggested to ESPN.com last week in Phoenix that a delay of that Thursday broadcast was likely, because there was still considerable work to be completed on the schedule.

The NFL designs its regular-season schedule without using computers and the process, given the longstanding priority on maintaining competitive balance, is an arduous task.

One notable change that first-year commissioner Roger Goodell has made is to solicit more input. For instance, long-time NFL general manager Ernie Accorsi, who retired from the New York Giants earlier in the offseason, recently visited the NFL offices to peruse the schedule.
