Bengals will open on the road again in 2015


Recommended Posts

I noticed that when the Reds schedule was released today, as well.  Unless the Bengals play on a Thursday, a Sunday night, or a Monday night, they'll open the season with two road games.

 

This has gotten me wondering.  Is the NFL at the mercy of MLB when it comes to scheduling September games?  It would seem that they are.

Less than a mile from each other.  When the Reds are home we open on the road.


Your statement could be a little confusing to the misinformed. :)

Then that would be the 13th for the first Sunday games.  I don't recall the season ever starting that late.  Backing things up, some teams wouldn't play their first preseason games until August 15.  Not disputing the info, as I have nothing otherwise, but the whole thing just seems "off".


Check 2009 opening game, it was 9/13. The NFL hasn't opened on Labor Day weekend in many years.

If anyone cares, 14 of the 16 2015 opponents. Final two are set at the end of the year.

Home: Ravens, Stealers, Browns, Rams, Seahawks, Chargers, Chiefs.

Away: Ravens, Stealers, Browns, 49ers, Cardinals, Broncos, Raiders.

 

Guess:  Colts and Pats.

 

That is a tough schedule.

You are absolutely right.  I don't recall that, at all.

Three west coast games and one in Denver.  Ouch.
