Looks like another tough stretch next year... Since we will likely end in 3rd place in the Division, looks like we will play Ravens/Steelers at home (please spare us another embarassment at the hands of the ratbirds!) and Chargers/Chiefs away. We've never beaten the Texans. The only "gimmes" on the schedule at this point are Jacksonville an Tennessee but I expect them to be improved next year. Facing a bunch of top level QBs again in Brady, Luck, Romo, Eli, RGIII (if he fixes his issues in time) Big Ben/Flacco and Rivers/Alex Smith and the Chip Kelly offense.

I think the sked right now looks so much easier…the AFC South might have two new QB's leading their respective teams and Bortles will have to make a huge jump this offseason to threaten. The Skins are a mess. Eagles and Cowboys are good, but have flaws. The Giants? The Jets will take a step back without Ryan.

I think Miami has a nice shot next year to get back into it. Plus, expanded playoffs?
 
Impossible to tell who will be good and who will be bad in 2015 right now.

I would say that @Tennessee looks like the easiest game on the schedule by a longshot. The Titans are really devoid of talent on both sides of the ball, and unless they knock it out of the park in this draft and Mettenberger develops very quickly (and I do like him), that's a good one to get as an away game. Likewise Washington strikes me as an early candidate to be bad again next season, with uncertainty at QB and a tomato can defense.
 
Its so hard to predict the toughness of a schedule even after the offseason that I think its an exercise in futility to try comment on it before the offseason has even begun.
 
If we play the way they did the last 2 weeks there won't be any easy games for us.
 
As of right now this schedule imo is head and shoulders easier. My reasoning for that is:

AFC West > AFC South
NFC North > NFC East

Other than that your have the same divisional games, and based on the other 2 games the north game will be tough because that whole division is pretty good and the west game could be from both spectrum of talent, as good as Denver or as bad as Oakland.

When it comes down to it we could have a easy schedule if certain teams drop off and a near impossible schedule if certain teams improve.
 
We will go 10-6 next year and make the playoffs. If we don't get bit by the injury bug again. I'm confident next year. Stay healthy, new coaches, add some players , drop losers like wheeler and over paid goofs like ellerbe. Draft good and were solid

Pats get Denver. It's whoever finishes in the same place in their division for the last 2 games. So we would get either SD or KC. No way to tell in the North.

how do you know we play chargers away?
 
This is the NFL, not college football. There is no such thing as an "easy schedule" or an "easy game." If you do not come to play every week, you will be beat, regardless of the opponent.
 
If you make it to the playoffs you generally play the toughest of the tough, so the schedule shouldn't matter if you think you will be successful. If we are already worried about the schedule maybe we should be talking about the 2016 draft and who our HC will be that year, not 2015.
