16-0...srsly. wow, you couldn't wish for an easier schedule.

I really like that the road games do not appear to be as daunting in particular. What is our toughest road game? Besides @GB I suppose, but now that little mini curse has been broken.

Year to year things change. Right now looks like an easy slate, certainly easier than the first half of this year's.

 

[biggunsbob]

With our team as it stand right now we should win at least 11 of these games.

This. It does look fairly easy at the moment, but there are some teams on the list who had 'down' years, and I would expect to be better next year.

Indy, NYG, Dal, Eagles will all (in my opinion) be improved next year. Dont know by how much though.

The only away game that even worries me is the Colts game.

You cannot judge a future schedule in the NFL. We have no idea how these teams will be. Aside from the few teams that are consistently strong, there's too much parody to say it's an easy schedule at this point.

every team on the away list can beat the Lions

 

[Mitchrapp]

The way I look at it, if the teams we play on the road are any good (above .500) we'll lose.

 

[biggunsbob]

This schedule is cake...

 

[grandy]

The Saints are becoming the new Cardinals...this will be the 6th regular season meeting since 2008.

Colts, Texans, and Cowboys (thinking they have a strong bounce back year without injuries). Those 3 are the toughest non divisonal games.

every team on the away list can beat the Lions

But they won't

 

[tonyballs]

12 wins, just from looking at it quick

I'm going to assume that people are saying this is an easy schedule based on this year's performances by these clubs. I say that because none of us know what next year will bring yet. Don't forget the Dolphins went from 1-15 one year to 11-5 the next. Football is fickle.

Home opponents:
Chicago Bears. - A team on the rise. They are one draft and one free agency away from being tough.
Green Bay Packers. - Still one of the toughest teams in football, although we seem to play them well now.
Minnesota Vikings. - Unless Peterson suddenly ages, this is one of the better teams around. Give them a good draft and they might be SuperBowl bound.
Philadelphia Eagles.- New coach, new GM, not a whole lot of talent, but has surprised a few teams this season.
Washington Redskins.- Getting better, and with a better record than our.
Jacksonville Jaguars. - Much improved this season, and could be a tougher team next year.
Tennessee Titans. - Long way to go still. This is the ONE game I think should be easy, so we will lose it.
St. Louis Rams. - Couldn't beat their defense this year, and Fisher is going to make it better.

Away opponents:
Dallas Cowboys. - Depends on if we get them before or after the next Romo injury
New York Giants. - A QB and a receiver than can abuse our secondary.
Houston Texans. - a QB away from being DAMNED good
Indianapolis Colts. - Don't let a down year fool you.
New Orleans Saints. - Not sure these guys are in striking range of being good, but never count Brees out.

I see one easy game on the entire schedule, and another that should be easy enough so long as the Saints don't get suddenly better or Brees be on a hot streak.

With a good off-season, I think we can play with any of these teams, but it's a long way from being easy the way I see it.

If you were to pick two divisions to play you would probably pick the AFC south and NFC east. Sure all the teams could hit home runs in the draft, but realistically most won't. So it should be a favourable schedule next year.

Only issue is we are probably the third best team in our division. Packers will have jordy back.

 

[biggunsbob]

12-4........super bowl or bust!!!!!!

The Saints are becoming the new Cardinals...this will be the 6th regular season meeting since 2008.

Thinking the same thing. Glad it's not the Cardinals every year.

 

[biggunsbob]

Whoever the coach is next season he should be fired immediately if he does not make the playoffs with this schedule..
