It’s Official: Cowboys At Bucs
May 12th, 2021
Week 1 schedule released.
So it is now written in stone. The Bucs host the Cowboys to open the season.
The Bucs kick off the season on Thursday night, Sept. 9 on NBC (WFLA-TV Channel 8, locally). Primetime. Before the nation’s eyes.
The NFL had a slick marketing angle this morning. With so much anticipation surrounding the NFL schedule release — only the NFL can manufacture a pseudo-holiday — the NFL allowed its broadcast partners to announce their NFL schedule for Week 1.
So on FOX and Friends, the Today Show, CBS This Morning, Good Morning America, BSPN’s “First Dump,” and of course, “Good Morning Football” on NFL Network, the Week 1 schedule was announced.
Behold the first week’s schedule below courtesy of John Breech of CBS Sports. The rest of the schedule will be released tonight at 8 p.m. on NFL Network.
The NFL’s Week 1 schedule is officially out, mark your calendars now.
Some highlights:

Yes! This is what i wanted (other than vs. Patriots).

Devin White eliminates Ezekiel Elliott! Stop the run, stop the run, stop the run! No preseason for Vita! Score: 38 – 17

Bucs vs Pats Week 4 SNF

Should have been the Saints, but seal clubbing the cowboys and their obnoxious owner will be fun to watch.
May 12th, 2021 at 8:51 am
Awesome. I will be there.

Sack Dak!

The NFL cash cow moos money.
Anyone who thought this game would be about anything but eyes on the TV should rethink their idea of NFL priorities.
The Bucs have Brady.
The Cowboys have microphone loving Jerry Jones, who has an eponymous world for a football stadium. Translation—ratings.
Anyone hear talk of a Glazer World?

LOL, nice

Good match ups up and down the schedule
May 12th, 2021 at 8:56 am
The entire NFC South opens up at home.
Will Jordan “Rodgers won’t show me” Love Era begin against the “if you have more than one, then you’ve got none” QB led Aints?
Let’s Go Bucs!
In BA I Trust!

Aside from the Bills this is going to be like a super bowl atmosphere in Tampa on this Thursday to open the NFL this is going to be great!!!
May 12th, 2021 at 8:59 am
LFG!
Defense is going to have to bring it. The offense should have no problem putting up big numbers against the little boys
May 12th, 2021 at 9:02 am
That may be the best opening slate of week one games in NFL history. Or, it just looks that way because our Bucs are the champs!
I would love nothing mor ethan to watch Gabbert and Trask share second half snaps because th Bucs have already put the game away.
May 12th, 2021 at 9:05 am
Now I just need to find tix for a decent price
May 12th, 2021 at 9:06 am
Swamp,
Opening the Linc was a pretty good Week 1 in 2003
May 12th, 2021 at 9:07 am
Kobe Faker right on that is a great first week of games and the odds have to be out soon
May 12th, 2021 at 9:13 am
Rusty Dak. Insecure Elliott. Suspect Defense.
Good.

Bucs-Bills will have a LOT more impact later in the season when games seem more meaningful (But in MY world, they all are.)
May 12th, 2021 at 9:22 am
Hope we’re more than Tennessee ready!!
May 12th, 2021 at 9:22 am
#1 Darden is gonna go from playing in front of 10,000
To the whole Nation and screens all around the world!
How cool is that!
The kid is going to explode on the scene!
May 12th, 2021 at 9:25 am
Can’t wait to see Jerrah cry in his beer after a loss!
May 12th, 2021 at 9:26 am
Not much of a contest with a gimpy recovering qb or a backup QB for cowboys but a win is a win for the Bucs!
May 12th, 2021 at 9:33 am
Bucs will be playing at New England on Thanksgiving night.
May 12th, 2021 at 9:35 am
Super Bowl champs opening at home on Thursday night are 13-3 opening the following season
Can’t wait to be there in section 315
May 12th, 2021 at 9:44 am
I see the same thing as Erick:
Patriots game looks like Sunday night October 3rd in New England.
May 12th, 2021 at 9:51 am
Cowboys, my most hated team…go Bucs
May 12th, 2021 at 9:57 am
Cowboy soup baby!!!!!!
May 12th, 2021 at 10:02 am
What a terrible game to kick the year off 🤢🤮
May 12th, 2021 at 10:03 am
According to Florio, Bucs-Pats game will be week 4 Sunday night.
May 12th, 2021 at 10:21 am
Can’t believe we have this trash on our stage smh, on the other hand it will be a nice warm up game.
May 12th, 2021 at 11:57 am
Cool. I want to see a 40 million dollar QB running for his life all evening.
May 12th, 2021 at 12:34 pm
Well I was way off! We should kick the dog sh!t out them Cowboys.
May 12th, 2021 at 1:27 pm
Thought it would be Dallas. National appeal out the wazoo. Was never hyped about a possible Buffalo opener. Out of Conference matchups jut don’t carry the same weight.
