My first impression is that we're given the opportunity to set the tone for a good season by getting off to a good start. Three of our first four games are at home, two of which bracket the bye week. And all three of those home opponents aren't what I'd consider juggernauts (though I'll note the caveat of 'you never know').

The middle of the schedule gets pretty harsh as FRPLG pointed out, with 4 out of 5 games away from home.

Bears on a short week really hurts. But another plus, we never really travel much further west than the Mississippi. No west coast games, which eases on the jet lag. That's a factor that shouldn't be overlooked, we never used to play well in Arizona, for example.

All in all, seems like a fair and balanced schedule. And how can you not like Dallas for the final game!
