Don't sleep on Houston either. Carr may be due for a great year, they've made some changes & he's got Moulds to go w/Andre Johnson, whose definitely a beast. They may not be playoff bound but they'll beat some playoff teams. NO & St.L are 2 others that I think could surprise a lot of people.
In short, this schedule & the nfl in general is just wide open. It seems now every year there are 5-6 teams that are a handful of plays away from making the playoffs. I'd be thrilled w/12-4 as MightyJoeG predicts, but I'm not as confident.

There are a couple of positives that I particularly like about our schedule:

1) Playing against four new head coaches.
2) 4 out of the final 6 games at home.
3) A lot of these teams have QB questions. Peyton Manning, Delhomme, McNabb & Bledsoe are the only ones that I think are providing stability at that position. Some are up and coming like Eli and Simms but they're not there yet.
4) Our free agent pickups that we acquired are additions, not really replacements.

If not, here's mine: 13-3 with losses @ Dallas, @ Phili, and @ TB on paper. The toughest home game will be Jacksonville, because they play so well on the road. Don't sleep on Houston either. Watch them maul Phili in week one. That should wake the rest of the league. I predict a win vs. them, but Houston probably had the best offseason of any team.

Indy has lost at home in the past (with a stronger team than they have now) to teams far worse then our Skins. They can be had. CAR and ATL are good teams but we should win at home. Vick is a weak cold weather QB. He doesn't stand and take the hit and deliver the ball like he does at home. That's a late Nov. game, and won't be much of a challenge. Everyother game is a potential trap, but overall should be wins.

I thought the red would point out the games I think will be true tests to how the skins have to overcome a hard schedule. Hasnt the skins have had a top 5 toughest schedule for the past 5 years???????????????

If that's the case then it's just an unfortunate coincidence. The way the schedule is determined is about as fair as it can be.

Now you may remember better than I do, but didn't the Skins win their first playoff game this past season? I feel like we beat Tampa, but maybe I'm wrong.

Also, didn't the g-string divas get DOMINATED in their own (not really their own since they have to share it) stadium? I mean a shut out at home in the playoffs? That's pretty upsetting. I guess I understand why you're so bitter all the time.

Not to mention the 17 home games the VAgiants had last year...
