Here are the other important league dates that were announced:
POSTSEASON:

Jan. 16-17: NFL Divisional Weekend

Sunday, Feb. 7: Super Bowl 50 (Levi’s Stadium; Santa Clara, Calif.)
At first blush, it’s a good schedule for the Redskins. It’s always difficult to gauge the difficulty of an upcoming roster of games, because there is so much change from year-to-year in a league of parity; however, there are things to take from it anyway:
1) Three Prime Time games.
2) Good start. Not only are the first two games at home, but they’re against beatable opponents. Add a first away game with a division rival that struggled last year, and the Redskins have the potential to come out of the gate strong.
3) Four out of the last 6 games are against NFC East rivals. Whether that’s good or bad remains to be seen, but it does likely mean that Washington’s fate will certainly be in their own hands.
All of Redskins Nation will start to wax poetic about their thoughts on the upcoming season now that the schedule has been released. What do you think? What excites or frightens you? Penciling any games in to visit Fed Ex? What are your predictions for what the Redskins record will be?

Hail to the Redskins.
