I must say I am very relieved when I saw the actual schedule. With all the major sports networks reporting that we have the toughest schedule for the upcoming season I was like not again but I like our schedule a lot. Our trips to New England and Buffalo come early enough that we will avoid playing in freezinf tempatures. Our game agianst the Super Bowl Champion Steelers is the last game of the season which IMO the Steelers will have their division wrapped up and might rest all of their starters. We have 4 PRIME TIME GAMES!! In which 3 of those games are at home, I am very pleased to have my Fins on Prime-Time again and I will be getting lit for those games.

Week 1: @ Falcons

-The Falcons defense is horrible so ROnnie Brown should be able to have huge game. Matt Ryan was an impressive rookie but wait until we unleash our pass rush

Week 2: vs. Colts

-Anytime you plan The Colts and Peyton Manning you could be in trouble but let's not fprget that Marvin Harrison is no longer and their interior defense is not impressive by any means

Week 3: @ Chargers

-We beat them last year, we can do it again

Week 4: vs Bills

-Terrell Owens? Are you kidding me? We are going to punk them twice

Week 5: vs Jets

-Prime Time where Kellen Clemmens just get's demolished

Week 7: vs Saints:

-This game scares me .. Drew Brees

Week 8: @Jets

-We are better than them. We proved it

Week 9: @Patriots:
-Is Tom Brady recovered. We will spilt with them IMO

Week 10: Vs Buccaneers

-Their defense is dismantled and Byron Leftwich..haha

Week 11: @ Panthers:

-Tough game here.

Week 12: @Bills:

-Sweep

Week 13: vs Patriots:

-Tough Game

Weel 14: @ Jaguars

-This team is going in the wrong direction. They have no receivers, no Quarterback, and they took Derrick Harvey at #9 last year

Week 15: @ Titans

-How scarey is their defense without Haynesworth?

Week 16: vs Texans-

Revenge

Week 17: vs Steelers

-Steelers rest their players
 
I think we lose to the Pats up there, the Panthers, the Saints...with the Titans, Chargers and Colts games being swing games.
 
The Pats have the 3rd toughest schedule so we just have to be one game better then them (like last year).....I am not saying the Jets and Bills don't have a chance, but the Jets don't have a QB and the Bills have half their team in jail.
 
Brady goes down and we find some cb's and get our OL moving full bore...Division is ours again. The schedule thing is overrated. Teams that sucked like KC are going to come out to play. Others will drop down. Chargers really a scare to us? Every game will be tough no matter who you are.

I say we go 10-6. I will stick with that all the way. I think we beat the Jets and Bills twice and split with NE. NE also will find it tougher to win. Once again, Brady goes down or gets slowed down, Not so tough.

Cold weather is FOOTBALL WEATHER. All that is, is an excuse. We need to play games in cold weather every damn year so we don't become a team full of softies!!!
 
* San Diego game is a cross-country trip following a Monday night game. That's brutal.

* New England's bye week is right before we go there, giving Belicheat two weeks to prepare.

* We don't have our first early-kick home game until November 15th -- and that's against Tampa. The other two are the last two games of the season. So much for home-field advantage.

* All divisional road games plus a short-week roadie at Carolina in November. OUCH.

there no easy games on that sked, not even Tampa. they always give us fits. same goes for Houston. all in all, we could have gotten away with a far worse schedule IMO. we don't have to play all four NFC East teams in a row like KC. though playing four of five on the road that late in the season (Week 11 through 15) could throw a wrench in our January plans.

all things considered, i'm happy with the sked. we're back on Prime Time. 4 times! there's no team i'm really scared of. on a good day we can beat them all.
