From the Information forum:
Late April: 2012 NFL schedule is announced.
The draft is in 11 days. NFL honchos... anytime now would be good to release the schedule.

I'm not being too impatient or anything am I?

Seems I saw it was going top be released on the 20th.
I'd like it to be released as well. For me, half the fun of a trip is planning the thing. Deciding which games work and which don't, rooms to book, restaurant reservations, etc.

Great....tomorrow....even better.
Like I said, it isn't like it was some years back where my schedule was filling 3-4-5 months ahead, but I still like to set an advanced schedule. I like planning trips. I like to know where I am staying, where I am going eat, etc.
I want time to plan which games I am going to attend. Find out who is going, who can get off, so on and so forth, and then have several months to anticipate the weekends events.
The game usually sucks, so I do all I can to make the other weekend events memorable. If I am going up for a crappy game, you can damn well bet I am going to make sure dinner the night before is well planned and eventful. Check Playhouse Square events, concerts, unique dates out on the Islands, not to mention comparing dates to the Gators schedule....I do have tickets down there I like to use a few times a season.

Hopefully we don't have to play the Ravens, Steelers, or Bengals five out of our last six games this season.

And it would be nice to play Pittsburgh at home sometime in September or October. I'm tired of playing them at the end of the season when Browns fans are beaten down by another soul crushing season and my stadium is filled with 30-40,000 Steelers fans.

We probably will. The league instituted big rivalries late in the season to promote ticket sales, and it makes sense. First, people will sell those games out late in the year. We will sell out the Steelers or Ravens late....not so much the Skins or some other team.
They also did it to keep teams in the playoffs from sitting all their top players late in the season, keeping the competitive balance more in check. Every year a team or two needs someone to win like we did for Indy to win when they decided Manning and about half the O would get a day off in preparation for the playoffs.
I fully support making the late games as meaningful as possible. If not for standings reasons, then for rivalry reasons. Keep it straight up from game one through game six-teen.

I understand having some of the divisional games late in the season. But we had all but one of our divisional games within the last six weeks of the season.

Wasn't that also part of the potential strike planning as well. I swear I remember they extremely backloaded divisional games so that if a strike shortened the season, the season would still figure out who the "best" of each division was.

I understand.
Probably, the worse you are and the more unlikely it will be for you to sell December tickets, the more likely it will be to be like last season.
Just saying....shrug
