Of course I'm getting ahead of myself, but I'm confident we'll win a hard fought battle..

So which opponent would you like to see in the Thursday Night NFL Opener at "The Bank"?

Steelers
Bengals
Patriots
Packers
Vikings
Jets
Browns
Texans

I think we open with Patriots

I'd like to see the Packers.

But the league is going to get the most bang for their buck via higher ratings so I know it WON'T be the Vikings or the Browns.

It will be all about the ratings so I'd bet it will be Pitt, Packers, Pats or maybe Bengals

Let's win on February 3 first. Something tells me we aren't getting that early September game anyway. The Niners are a challenge and we may not even get to hoist the Lombardi in NOLA -- at which point that early September party will be in San Francisco. And even if we do win, do you remember what happened the last time we won the SB? I think we were made to be the only SB Champion not to open the next season on MNF (which had been the tradition back then.)

Id like to focus on the game at hand...

but usually it seems its a rematch of the conference championship. Id assume its Patriots but possibly Pittsburgh.

C'mon man.. dream a little.. Inner Harbor would be rocking big time. Maybe a Thursday pennant race chasing Orioles game in the afternoon. Followed by the NFL kickoff party/concert.

Then a little Aaron Rodgers for dessert.

Can't happen. If the Orioles played in the afternoon the parking lots might not clear in time. In fact it could be lots of extra innings and the teams could be playing at the same time, which would be a HUGE cluster.

If any team played first it would be the Ravens since regular season NFL games are limited to one overtime, and I don't really see that happening because of logistics.

We won't get a Thursday opener in any case, the Orioles are already scheduled for a home game on 9/5 and 9/12.

Wow...you are right.

Opening Thursday is September 5th. Orioles scheduled to be at home versus the White Sox.

I know we are ahead of ourselves here....but I wonder if the NFL could get the MLB to make a schedule adjustment?
