On Tuesday night the NFL released the potential schedules for the 2011 season. I use “potential” because with the lock out now well over 30 days and no end in sight as of this minute who knows when we will see NFL football in 2011, if at all.
The New England Patriots schedule is as follows, I have included the pre season schedule which was released last week.
The Patriots will play two home and two road games in the preseason and conclude with the traditional game against the New York Giants. Due to the schedule rotation, the Giants will also visit Foxboro in the regular season.
Other potential regular season games of note include home games with the Dallas Cowboys and a Sunday night tilt with the Indianapolis Colts and big road games against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles and Oakland Raiders.
For the first time in four years the team will open the regular season on the road. They also have 3 of their first four games away from Foxboro, which will give them a more heavy home schedule towards the end of the season.
