Houston Texans 2013 Schedule Thread

Seems like every year we start wondering and asking about this right around now, so here's the latest "unofficial" information on the NFL's releasing of the 2013 schedules.

It’s now officially the time to look for the unofficial clues regarding the date on which the NFL will release the 2013 schedule.

And the biggest clue comes via Mark Durant of the Greenfield (Mass.) Recorder, who has passed along to PFT that he spotted among NFL Network’s online listings a Schedule Release Show to be aired on Tuesday, April 16, at 8:00 p.m. ET.

Quietest I ever remember it being concerning the schedule coming out. Usually the national TV games are announced by now or there's leaks for some teams coming from somewhere. Nothing so far this year.

Like you said 3 weeks ago, we should be seeing the schedule by about the 20th.

So we should be seeing it soon.
 
I might be on my own on this, but I hope we don't have many primetime games. I wouldn't want any if it was up to me. Although, I think it's almost mandatory for teams to have a Thursday nighter

Yeah, I think you'll be disapponted. I'm guessing at least four games. One Sunday night, one Thursday night, and two Monday night. Wouldn't be a bit suprised to see a fifth either.

Judging by the fact that we have opened the past 4 seasons at home, I think it is almost a given that we will be on the road this season.

The events schedule at reliantpark.com may give some clues. I would put money on the Texans opening at home and hitting the road in week 2.

Looks like you're right. I'm hoping for the Patriots in primetime (Sunday or Monday Night). Overall, we have 7 games that would seem good for primetime:

Broncos (home)
Seahawks (home)
Patriots (home)
Ravens (away)
Niners (away)
Colts (home or away)

Colts would make a good Thursday Night game late in the year. I think the Ravens and Pats games are definitely primetime. One or two others out of the Broncos, Seahawks, or Niners.
 
We won't play in the opener.

Damn. I don't want New England in December.

Also, am I the only one that's upset over the fact that we have to wait until 9:30 to watch the season opener??

New England and Denver late will tell us where we're really at as a team. We need to win those games at home if we really are gonna be Super Bowl contenders.
 
Ouch - a potential 0-3 from weeks 3 to 5 - brutal early season stretch!

The opening two weeks should be very manageable though.
 
Some home prime time games would be nice. Was hoping for a Sunday and Monday night at home. Instead only 1 of 4 prime time games at home after only 1 of 5 at home last year. Although NE on Dec 1 and Den on Dec 22 could be Sunday night flex candidates.

No please. Playing the Pats in the afternoon then head to Jacksonville for a Thurday game is bad enough.
 
home and away spaced out pretty well untill the last 4 weeks with 3 out of 4 on the road but all 3 winable.
