Definitely a more favorable schedule than last year, but by default of playing against the NFC West we kind of knew that. I to love where our bye is this year instead of what became our bye last year. I think the first and most of the last third of the schedule is pretty favorable. The NE game could go either way and is what makes it not completely favorable, but overall Im happy.
I wish there was at least another prime time game in there but happy we at least got one. I would have liked it to be against Indy or even Jax again as it would have been more exciting to watch. I doubt the Tenn game will provide any pre or post buzz. At least with Jax last year, there was a good response to after the game saying it was entertaining. I think with Tenn their stout defense makes them boring to watch, especially without the VY factor. No reflection on their talent of the team, just not that entertaining to watch.
Saw that the "non-white and red picnic bench cover" Texas team is getting 6 prime time games. Sucks, but they definitely have more of a national fan base.
Also, doesn't one of the networks have the option to move games to the Sunday night time slot at some point in the season, or are those set in stone already?
Last note, I remember hearing that we would be playing Oakland (and maybe Miami?) again this year when the season ended due to some sort of system with what our records were. I have no idea of what system that is or how accurate the source is, but I did hear it on the AM radio.
*Edit- I just discovered that the Monday night game is in Houston...that makes it even better!!!
