Let's Discuss the 2007 Schedule

[70Chip]

Two games at the Meadowlands is not good based on what we've seen there the last two years.

Also, this will be our fourth trip to Tampa in the last three years.

I think that this is a medium schedule. If we have a good team it won't hurt us, but if we have a bad team it won't help us either.

Wish the Bye-week was closer to the middle of the schedule,but.....Oh well, I guess you can't have everything. I agree with Gibbs, I've never seen a schedule I like, but I favor this year's schedule over last year's. Nov. 11th-25th will pretty much determine where we're at as far as a stretch drive is concerned.

Redskins vs Cowboys is always an important game!

Not too thrilled about that quick turnaround time between the Bills and Bears.

EEich, we going to the Pats game?

But we are at home against them both. The Bears have the same turnaround (we both play on Dec 2 and Dec 6), but we they lose a practice day on a short week traveling to FedEx.

[Edit] it is an 8:15 game so maybe they don't lose a practice day, but it's still better not to have to travel on a short week.

The Dec. games should all be interesting. Not necessarily the best teams, but all teams that are a little unpredictable at this point. Except the pokes, I see them as being as good as they were last year or better, 9-7 or 10-6. Their O line could be a disaster though.

Nov 25 @Tampa Bay 1:00pm

It almost feels like Tampa Bay is in our division. We play them every year.

And for the 3rd year IN A ROW it's in Tampa.

Gona be nice to kick the shit outta those COWGIRLS @ home just before the new year........Right before we start our playoff run.

[skinsWill]

Why is it that we always play @ Tampa? Every year!!! I agree with everyone in that a week 4 bye sucks and the Bears on a short week is no good

ESPN.com - NFL - Bills, Raiders have toughest 2007 schedules

Our strength of schedule. I know the teams were here before but still good to look at here. We have a balanced schedule at .500 The thing is that looks good but looking at it closer, we have the hardest schedule in the NFC east and second hardest in the NFC period. The AFC teams have harder schedules b/c of their dominance. It sucks because all that matters is our schedule vs our opponents and in that respect we have a tough schedule.

at first glancing at the schedule i thought good lord especially the last half of it is tough but who knows who will get hot at the right time ,hopefully it,s us ..
i don,t like the bye this early though.

[skinsfan_nn]

Yea the early bye does stink, be nice to hit it mid to late in the season.

I think week 9 is the last week of byes. That being the case, we are just slightly less than halfway to the bye midpoint, if that means anything. Week four does feel early though.

byes run weeks 3-10 so 4 is quite early. That is the only thing about our schedule that i hate.
