Aren't schedules made 4 or so years in advance? But our schedule this year is moderatly hard, no doubt about it!

I think for the most part yes the teams are chosen but the specifics of the schedule aren't

In part yes and in part no.

6 games - Home and home with division opps.

4 games - All teams of the NFC East play the four teams in the AFC North (we have a home game against Baltimore, I better not see ANY purple in the stadium that week!)

4 games - All teams of hte NFC East play the four teams of the NFC North

2 games - Each team plays the same placed teams (for us, third place) from last year in the NFC South and West.

Each year, the divisions rotate. A division plays one other full NFC division and one other full AFC division. With the remaining two games being against NFC teams who placed the same as us.

The rotation of divisions is the same (i.e. North, then West, etc) so we play every AFC team every four years and every NFC team every three years. However, I don't know the rotation.
