Rumored first four weeks of the season

Hey all. This was posted in a comment on NFL.com and hasn't been removed. NO idea of the legitimacy, but it's interesting, and the Seahawks matchups are plausible.

Weeks 1-4 have apparently been "leaked":

WEEK ONE

Ravens at Broncos, Thursday.
Dolphins @ Bills.
Panthers @ Bucanneers.
Browns @ Jets.
Lions @ Steelers.
Raiders @ Texans.
Eagles @ Redskins.
Chiefs @ Jaguars.
Saints @ Rams.

Bengals @ Chargers.
49ers @ Cardinals.
Packers @ Cowboys.

Sunday Night
Giants @ Bears.

Monday Night
Patriots @ Falcons.
Vikings @ Seahawks.

WEEK TWO

Bills @ Browns, Thursday.
Cowboys @ Eagles.
Broncos @ Chiefs.
Bears @ Lions.
Bucanneers @ Patriots.
Saints @ Panthers.
Falcons @ Dolphins.
Cardinals @ Titans.
Jaguars @ Rams.
Vikings @ Giants.
Redskins @ Packers.
Seahawks @ 49ers.
Chargers @ Raiders.
Jets @ Ravens.

Sunday Night
Colts @ Texans.

Monday Night
Steelers @ Bengals.

WEEK THREE

Giants @ Chiefs, Thursday.
Seahawks @ Colts.
Dolphins @ Browns.
Bills @ Saints.
Steelers @ Jets.
Bengals @ Bears.
Redskins @ Falcons.

49ers @ Bucanneers.

WEEK FOUR
Byes: Broncos, Chargers.

Plausible, I guess, but how is Colts @ Texans a better Sunday night game than Seahawks @ 49ers? The league can't be that dumb.

4-0

The game at the clink will definitely be primetime.

If that is true that's a pretty good starting 4 games. Vikings and Bucs at home and 49ers and Colts on the road. All 4 winable games. I would be shocked if we didn't have at least a 3-1 record after those weeks.

Can't wait to see the official schedule.

First game of the season on a Monday night? Interesting.

There were a couple of leaked schedules last year too.......they ended up being completely fabricated. So take these with a grain of salt.

There were also quite a few leaked that WERE accurate, so there's more salt.

Don't see Hawks v. Colts as a regular Sunday game. Now if it was at 4:15 Eastern/1:15 Pacific then maybe but I still say that one's got Sunday night written all over it.

definitely like the idea of having the away 49er game happen first

Aren't the Mariners at home, again, in early September? Unlikely we'd open at home, like most years.

Not that I have sympathy for the Cardinals, but I hope the league wouldn't send them to Philly for a Thursday night game. They need to keep those games between geographically close teams and they should probably be divisional games so the teams know each other better.

Hard to see MNF opening without the Raiders playing...

I thought the second Monday Night game was always between the Raiders and Chargers. Maybe it just seems that way.

Mariners are playing at home that first Monday so this is clearly false .... although I must say I am amused people feeling disrespected over a false schedule. The chip on the Seahawk fan's shoulder must always be fed!

CONFIRMED FAKE

Minnesota has already been scheduled to play Pittsburgh in London on Sep 29, week 4

there is no way fox will let both niner vs seahawks be primetime

Which one is designated as the "Home" team?

After looking at the Mariners schedule, the Hawks should start the season like this:

Week 1 - On the road, Mariners @ home on Sunday (9/8) and Monday (9/9)... except that Hawks opening their season on Thursday night (9/5) would work.

Week 2 - @ Home (Mariners out of town)

Week 3 - @ Home if game is on Sunday (9/22). Monday night (9/23) is not an option as Mariners return home that day.

Week 4 - Likely on the road due to conflict with Mariners last game of the season on Sunday (9/29). Monday night (9/30) is an option.
