justin Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) The Baltimore Sun is reporting that the Ravens will host the Indy Colts on September 11 - the opening Sunday night game of the week. I am exicted about this one. From the Baltimore Sun: Also Monday, the NFL announced the Ravens will open the season on Sept. 11 by hosting the Indianapolis Colts on ESPN's Sunday Night Football. It makrs the first time in the franchise's 10 years in Baltimore that it will open on national television. "What an opportunity for the team and for our fans," head coach Brian Billick said in a release. "Our fans will really enjoy this. I can already hear their enthusiasm." The complete NFL schedule will be announced at a later date. Edited March 22, 2005 by justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHook Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 So much for that theory that the Colts would face New England in the season-opener again. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patsfan04 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) So much for that theory that the Colts would face New England in the season-opener again. . . 744470[/snapback] I wrote this a couple months ago......... Indy finished the 2003 season with a LOSS at New England (AFC Championship) Indy opened the 2004 season (same night the banner was unveiled) with a LOSS at NE Indy Finished their 2004 season with a LOSS at NE. Will the NFL be cruel enough to have Indy watch another Championship banner raising celebration at NE on opening night? The answer, evidently, is NO. I think the NFL should reward San Diego with that slot, not a chump like Randy Moss. If Moss is not playing for Oakland, are they in this slot??????

msaint Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Nope. It's official. Oakland at New England. 744645[/snapback] Right you are, Hook. http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patr...hursday_opener/ What I don't get is why Al Davis is all bent out of shape about this. He's calling it "payback" on the league's part, forcing OAK to play against the "NFL's model franchise" on the road in the opener. Is he implying that his own franchise is not the model and the league is rubbing it in his face? What exactly is this "payback" he's talking about? The way I see it, it's a crappy team (last year) who inexplicably gets a national TV stage to try to knock off the defending champs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marauders11 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Eagles/Falcons on the first Monday night is what I am hearing locally- yet another chance to make Vick look like a fraud on national TV, The Eagles own Mike V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
