Question about Ravens schedule
I must have missed something here. My friend told me he thought we had a Thanksgiving game this year. When we checked the schedule, as most have already noticed, we do have a thursday game the week after Thanksgiving. I'm not complaining, it will be a fun change to get a Ravens game Thursday Night. (although 2 games in 5 days has to be tough on the players.)
My question though is why? Was any reason given by the NFL? Or is this just a way to increase how many games NFLNetwork will get?Actual user comment from a yahoo sports article:
On this given sunday you will witnesses why we'll called steeler nation!!!

Re: Question about Ravens schedule
I had never heard of the Ravens being scheduled for Thanksgiving Day. I personally hope not! That's the biggest family holiday in this country, and I wouldn't want the conflict.
Anyway, here's the NFL Network's Thursday night schedule:
Thursday, Nov. 23 / 8:00 p.m. ET
Broncos vs. Chiefs
Thursday, Nov. 30 / 8:00 p.m. ET
Ravens vs. Bengals
Thursday, Dec. 7 / 8:00 p.m. ET
Browns vs. Steelers
Thursday, Dec. 14 / 8:00 p.m. ET
49ers vs. Seahawks

Re: Question about Ravens schedule
Under the current NFL Scheduling/TV Format it is impossible for the Ravens to play at Detroit, or at Dallas (traditonal Thanksgiving hosts) on Thanksgiving.
With the new Thanksgiving Night game being started this year, that could be a possibility in the future.
Starting with the Thanksgiving game, NFL Network will have a game every Thursday for the remainder of the season.

Re: Question about Ravens schedule
What concerns me is that the Ravens play Cincy four days after they play the Stealers. Two tough division games pretty close together...

Re: Question about Ravens schedule
After last year I think the Ravens deserve a break on the holidays even though we play the Steelers on Christmas Eve

Re: Question about Ravens schedule
They are at the Browns the previous Sunday. The Browns should sport a decent defense and might beat them up a tad. Let's hope.

Re: Question about Ravens schedule
November as a whole is brutal for the Ravens:
11/5: vs Cincy
11/12: at Tenn (should win this but we all know the road woes)
11/19: vs Atlanta
11/26: vs Pittsburgh
11/30: at Cincy
This stretch makes or breaks a run at the playoffs.
