True, true.

Link there to all the other schedules too...I think the NFC East is pretty comparable schedule wise.

Ouch. I copied/pasted it from NFL.com.

That's a very nice schedule. Seems to me a trip to San Diego to celebrate the New Year is in order.

In between those big treks are two tough home games against NYG and Dallas. I'd rather have them at home late in the season as opposed to away games, but still.

Tough December. We're going to need to take advantage early and hold on for dear life. Zorn's got to show he can keep the team healthy and thriving all year.

Way too early to be making predictions, but that San Diego game looks ugly to me.

Norval probably isn't through getting revenge against Lil' Danny.

I don't know, it's not like the Chargers were a 14-2 team last year. We're no chop liver on defense and with AH I can make the case for us winning that game. Admittedly everything is predicated on Zorn's development as a head coach and play caller.

Apart from the Cowboys, Chargers, Broncos and Lions (to some extent) who else on our schedule runs a 3-4 defense. I (along with Jansen, Rabach and the rest of the o-line) am happy we do not face the Ravens & Steelers but 3-4 always seems to have the best of us.

Word. I think as the season gets rolling Zorn's scheme will either come alive or fizzle (i'm not making a prediction one way or the other). It just seems like his version of the WCO is very much about rhythm, timing and tempo.

...and btw i'm not convinced Zorn's offense requires the kind of "elite, franchise, HOF friggin QB" talent or whatever ya'll wanna label it. The timing and tempo, it seems to me, is really on the WR corp and it's up to the o-line to allow plays to develop. I've long said I believe Zorn can make JC a pro-bowl caliber QB, but i think it's heavily dependent on the pieces of the puzzle coming together.

I won't bust on you with a "some fan you are" statement.

Instead I will point out that predictions are foolhardy when the draft hasn't even happened yet.

Absolutely! JC could be a Super Bowl winning qb if the other pieces were right.

Nice point. The Cowpukes 3-4 is nothing to write home about...we've scored points pretty easily when the offense is running on most of it's cylinders. Denver and Detroit will be still going through huge adjustments. But the SD defense can always be nasty. Merrimen will be back w/ a vengeance and I for one won't be the least bit surprised if Rey is playing alongside him.

I think the Chiefs will be transitioning over to a 3-4, but we get them in our house in week 6 of a new regime.

I like the Schedule plain and simple. It offers us a solid opportunity to make the playoffs. Ther are at least 7 "Should wins" in there. As long as we can pull out 3 more we should be going merrily into the playoffs. I like the fact that we have presumably tough opponents going into the post season.

Amazing how similar it is to last year.

At least they won't be coming off a SB victory...with the retirement of Strahan...and without Plaxico coming to piss on our parade.

Then the Skins should be ready for it.
