2010 NFL Strength Of Schedule - (SOS), nfl schedules, fantasy football

It's real early, but here's what I see:

Cowboys - W
Texans - W
@ Rams - W
@ Eagles - L
Packers - L
Colts - L
@ Bears - W
@ Lions - W
Eagles - W
@ Titans - L
Vikings - L
@ Giants - L
Buccaneers - W
@ Cowboys - L
@ Jaguars - W
Giants - W

What, you have Donovan laying an egg in Philly? No way.

If we beat Dallas in Week 1 though, I feel very good about the chances of 3+ division wins. (Being 1/3 of the way there doesn't hurt).

Like last year's 4th place schedule, all we need to do is break even with everyone else in the division, and we're leavin'. A lot of my prediction for 11 wins in 2009 was based off an assumption that we were good enough to win 3 or 4 NFC East games. You all saw how that turned out.

We don't beat Indy in the start of the season, I don't care where it's played. Just ain't happening. I'll be syked for the re-match tho'

You could be right...

I guess I'm probably one of the few Redskin fans that thinks this team "COULD" be great in such a short transition in 1 year.

I'll know by game 1...
I have us dropping 40 pt's on the cowboys in a win...shhhhh (you didn't hear that) lol

Don't get me wrong, I can see greatness ahead. I just think Indy early in the season is an extremely difficult outing.

I think McNabb should be good for three extra wins, but not if he's hurt.

realistically, 7-9; 8-8 or 9-7 is the most to expect.

Our QB play has been so pathetic the last decade imo...jgalecpa
I'm not sure if Grossman would be good for 3 more wins,from what we've had. (I'm kidding..but not by much)

One of the reasons I'm looking for Rex behind the 1st team Offense against the jets.

people hate on Rex Grossman for a lot of things. mainly his INT's.

But I'll tell you guys one thing...He doesn't play scared...He may screw up..but the boy will sling that ball down the field while throwing caution to the wind. (We just need to protect him some)

Turnovers are a bad thing and I know that. But give me a QB that PLAYS to win the ball game over a QB who plays to prevent being yanked from the game anytime.

I won't even say his name..you know who I'm talking about.

I'm actually kinda excited to see Rex with the 1st team.
Won't that be funny as hell,if we start kicking the crap out of the jets with our backup QB...?

I bet the Jets give Revis his Contract at halftime,if this happens...lololololol

Oh yea..I agree.

Manning is the General of Generals out there...I'm not sure I've ever seen a QB command the field like him.

I'm hoping we can beat them at home,but I would never bet on that one...Manning is just that good.

Maybe the new rule and placement of the Official will throw Manning out of timing and hurt the colts game planning. But when we do beat the colts , that will be their excuse im sure.

Psst...Manning is a hack, the Colts are a bunch of losers who never win anything.

Skins 85, Colts 3. You heard it here first.

What's that? Ah -- Playoffs? Don't talk about -- playoffs?! You kidding me?! Playoffs?!

Here are some things i want to point out to everyone, regarding the 2010 schedule
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#1)Nice to get an opening home game as we usually do well at this point,regardless of how the season turns out. It's also nice to get Dallas early and possibly put a quick W in the Division and Conference box hopefully.(It's been ugly playing @Giants in back-to-back seasons)

#2)Did you know we do not play an NFC East team in any consecutive week throughout the whole season? (or back-to-back weeks) This is something we usually see at least once when looking at the schedule.

#3)Our toughest Non Divisional games are Minnesota,Indianapolis and Green Bay in most peoples eyes...ALL of these games are at home.

#4)There are 3 separate areas in the schedule,where we play on the road in back-to-back weeks during that period. 2/3 have us paired with the 2 weakest teams from last season in Lions and the Rams. The other is against last seasons 7-9 jags. (@Rams/@Eagles...@Bears/@Lions....@Cowboys/@Jags)

#5)Of the 16 game schedule,did you know we only have 4 games on turf? We have the Lions,Rams...then Cowboys and Giants on the road. This is big imo considering the amount of injuries suffered from the turf surface. Link of surfaces: ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_National_Football_League_stadiums# List

Anything else you want to add,that might be a surprise or something some of us haven't noticed off hand about the schedule?

Sorry bud, this is a tough schedule. The Lions look improved believe it or not, and we didn't play the Rams too well last season also if you remember. I know it is a different coach, system, etc, but my point being you can't take anything for granted in our schedue. Indy and Green Bay are possible if probable losses. Minnesota could be a win for us. Chicago and Detroit are toss ups. Same with the Jags. Intradivisionally we suck since Norv. On top of that we still have work to be done with our own team. A playoff run can very well be in the cards, but I don't consider our schedule to be really all that soft.

[Gmanc711]

The one thing I'll say, is our schedule is great compared to the rest of the NFC East. Now, we finished 4th last year, so that helps... but looking at our non-divisional opponents we have:

@ STL
@ DET
@ TEN
@ JAX
@ CHI
H HOU
H TB
H MIN
H GB
H INDY

Out of that list, you'd have to think the top teams are Indy, GB, Minnesota and Houston/Tennessee.

The fact that all those games outside of Tennessee are home games, gives me hope that we might be able to steal a few games against some good teams... if we can beat some of the teams we "should" beat (granted we were 4-12 so until I see us play, maybe that "should" is "nobody" ... but regardless, our schedule is real favorable compared to the rest of the division.

[SkinzWin]

I wish everyone would stop lowering their standards. We are going to make 'ol Mercury sweat down in Miami this year. 17-0. Even if its not going to happen, we say it will.
