Let's Discuss the 2007 Schedule

[holmester]

I like the fact that we get to play Miami first. With Goodell takin the belt to all the screw ups I would definitely expect Porter to be suspended atleast 2 games for wooping Jone's ass in Vegas. I can't see him being aloud to suit up against us.

Wonder if Ricky will be there for the game. :cheeky-sm

Porter may be a mouth on the football field, but I think this is the first incident he has been involved in off the field. He'll probably get a fine, but I doubt he'll face suspension.

Anyone else notice that Porter issued an apology to Jones today? Maybe Goodell's suspension of Jones and Henry is already having good collateral effects on the league and its players.

He basically admitted as much on ESPN an hour or so ago.

He also downplayed the severity of it by saying all he got was a citation and compared the situation to a speeding ticket.

Back to the Miami game, though- It'll be interesting (for the Fins anyway). Will Porter play, will Ricky Williams come back? Who will be their starting QB? Cam Cameron's first head coaching job (in the NFL). Plus it's in our house? I think we have a great chance to start the season on a high note.

As long as JC keeps improving and stays healthy, I do not see why we can't go 10-6 or 11-5. With the exception of the 5 game stretch, starting with the Patriots and the Jets we should get a nice run going. If Llyod can become a factor this season we will be in even better shape offensively. There is no excuses IMHO for anything less than 10-6. THe NFC East is horrid and our division is rather weak also overall. Eli isn't all that and without Tiki killing us on the ground the games against the Gmen should be manageable. Philly's time has passed and the I don't think Romo and co will be all that great this season. It(the division) is ours for the taking, yet again, but this time we need to take the damn thing. To be honest I do want the Cowboys to improve as we do. I think the NFL really needs to get that rivalry back on track to where it was with Gibbs /Laundry or even Allen/ Laundry. Colts/Patriots just isn't very intense, even with what the game has meant over the past 5 seasons. The Skins Boys had a OSU Michigan feel to it before Gibbs left.

i think we have a pretty tough schedule, especially for a 2nd year QB. (actually playing time less than that)

Tough D's up and down the schedule. Detroit is the only one that has a pretty weak D, everyone else is stout. Plus going up against our division alone, Dallas's D will probably be one of the tops in the NFL and Philly will be good as always. Then you have NE, chicago, Miami, Buffalo, Tampa, Minnesota(iffy) Green Bay(decent) Arizona actually had a decent D and should be better this year. I think Campbell will have a pretty hard time. I hope not, but i think he will.

yeah the D side of the ball is tough on the schedule. I'm thinking that we'll light a couple of em up big though. I expect our O to be top 5 or so.

I think the Arizona game is one that can't be overlooked, they could be really good by then.

Campbell's a 3rd year QB.

While the difference between the ave. productivity of a 2nd year QB and a 3rd year QB isn't all that much, the fact that he's had two years of practice vs. NFL caliber talent is a lot different than only having one year.

I think it will be good having an early bye, just in case we start slow.

I think the Packers game will be the "How did we lose that game" game of the year, while the Jets game will be the "Holy Crap! Did you just that! What an awesome win" game of the year

I think the Jets game will actually be the "How did we lose that game!" of the year. Either the Jets or the Cards, but I think we will beat the Cards. The Jets aren't a great team, but I could see two great offenses getting into a shootout with Campbell picking them apart and Pennington picking us apart and winning in the last 2 mins.

I think the Holy Crap Win of the Year(TM) will either be over Chicago or maybe a division opponent.

I think the Packers could beat us under certain circumstances, but I like our chances.

Its go be a tough one, and lets not bullshit each this year if we dont start out the gate fast....... if were not 3-0 or 2-1, then its going to be a wild card or back to the lottery, this year we cant be saying.......oh we got 14 more games we can go (12-2) no if were not 4-2 or 5-1 by week 6 or 7 then were done...........TRUST ME

For the third year in a row now we have a REALLY soft final 6 games or so. When your schedule's hardest part occurs in the first 11 weeks, it's hard to rule out any possibilities.

I mean if we are 4-6 after the first 10 games, our schedule dictates that we should still have a very good shot at the WC.

4-6 in the first 10 games may very well require that we open at least 4-2 though. That 4 game stretch in late October and early November will be brutal.

Anything .500 or better in those first ten games will put us in GREAT position to make a playoff run. That said, .500 in the first 10 games may be a lot to ask for.
