Saw on NFL Network the 2019 Regular Season Schedule will be released Wednesday @ 8PM Eastern on NFLN.
Where do some of you think the Bengals open up?
@ Baltimore, @ Pittsburgh: Can't be either one as both the Pirates and Orioles are at home 9/8. Could be Monday Night early as
the baseball teams are either on the road or have the night off. However Browns @ Jets seems to be
getting the most attention as the MNF Early game.
@ LA Rams: Game has already been confirmed for London. Never has there been a London game Week #1
@ Miami: Possible
@ Buffalo: Possible
@ Oakland: A's at The Coliseum Week #1. Could be MNF late since A's are off, but no Eastren Time Zone team has played in the late MNF Game Week #1.
@ Cleveland: As mentioned above Browns @ Jets is being rumored as early MNF game since it is MNF's 50th season and Jets @ Browns was the 1st ever MNF game.
@ Seattle: My prediction. We can get 1 of 2 West Coast trips out of the way right off the bat.

I expect the schedule will be further proof the NFL hates us and has it out for us, regardless.

This is my thinking. Open either in Seattle or Oakland. Get that west coast trip over with while we are fresh and rested.

Open in Oakland
Week two in London.
4 days later home opener against Pittsburgh on Thursday night.

Typical NFL, making sure we play the Steelers without Burfict yet again!

Which is why it won't happen. The NFL will screw us and make us play the West Coast and London in the middle stretch....

A's in town 9/8 so CIN-OAK Week #1 can'r happen
It could actually happen as late MNF game, but highly unlikely Bengals open on MNF.

Actually I was trying to come up with the worst possible schedule for the Bengals. So opening in Oakland on a Monday night would be even worse in this case. Give us a short week to fly to London, and then a short week when we fly back.

Buffalo sounds about right, but I'm not about to predict the league gets in the habit of doing us any favors.

I'd prefer no Monday nights at all. I hate waiting. If every game is 1 pm on Sundays, that's fine with me. I'll take a flex to Sunday night, because that means will be in the running.

Same.
We know we have one 9:00 AM in London and one Thursday night. We also have two west coast games (Sea, Oak) that will be 4:00 eastern kick offs.
Other than that I want all Sunday 1:00.

That would truly be an f'd opening scheduled.

I agree.
Save for flexing; we still haven't won a Sunday Nighter, since 2006 or whatever. And NBC is bad luck; too much negativity and shit-talking from that network, when we play there.

I'd hope they give us the bye after the London trip, but I like this schedule.

I'm so glad the NFL got rid of the week 1 bye. I remember the Bengals had that. It sucked. I don't think the Bengals will get a Monday night game, but if they do. I'd lean towards Oakland week 1.

I don't like them getting a bye in the 3rd or 4th week like they did a few years ago. It's worthless to them so early on.
