2015 NFL Schedule - Released 4/21

Not a big deal since we already know who we play but it will be interesting nevertheless. I haven't seen any of our games leaked out yet.

Usually we start getting leaks sometime during the afternoon and most of the schedule is known ahead of the official 7 pm release time. Even though the opponents are already known, it's still fun to see who we'll play in primetime, when the divisional games are, when the bye week is, if we get the Thanksgiving game in Detroit, etc.

It seems a little less known that we'll get the Thanksgiving game now that CBS and Fox seem to be allowing AFC/AFC on Fox and NFC/NFC on CBS. Last year they allowed Bears/Lions and Iggles/Cowboys. Most years, one of either Detroit or Dallas had to have an AFC opponent so CBS could take it.

Now that I think of it, that may not change much. Maybe they'll still try to stick to having the Packers on there basically every-other year.

Yeah I'm not sure that really changes much, and in fact it makes it possible for the Packers to play the Thanksgiving game in Detroit more often if they put us there in years where CBS has that game.

I don't want the Thanksgiving game, I hope we don't get it but I have a feeling we will. I will consider going to the Arizona game if it's late in the season. I think Denver would be a fun atmosphere, I'm considering that game as well but I hope that one is early in the season. Flights to Denver are always cheap.

Yeah that's what I'm hearing. Very surprised at that.

That's going to be one hot ticket.

Let's hope Starr is well enough to attend. There hasn't been an update on him for awhile.

Looks like #TH4NKSGIVING is going to be a thing.

Steelers @ Patriots for the Thursday night opener according to Schefter. No surprise there.

Week two it's Seattle at GB. I like that we get them early.

Love that we finally get 'em in our house.

If we get Seattle in week 2 my guess is we start on the road.

Minnesota at home for Week 17

Please not Arizona. Considering an away game this year and Phoenix to open up would suck. Not going there in September.

Heard @ Bears in week 1. No idea if it's true.
