The early part looks pretty good but the last 4 games look very tough especially with 2 west coast trips. I think the teams needs to have 8 or 9 wins by the time they get to the Raiders game in order o have a cushion for those last 4 games.

Great point about the late road trips. I like the early part of this schedule more than last year's.

I like this schedule, it does look easier than last season's and I love the Bye in the middle rather than Week 4 like a couple of years ago.

I see at least 10 wins, that's assuming the Giants beat us twice and we drop a few we should win, like a Dallas game...yuck.

We should finish 2nd in the division (New Jersey's DL is just insane...I don't see any other NFC-East teams winning many against them). PLAYOFFS certainly.

Wow. Oakland is the only home game that doesn't look scary for them...OK...and Philly because they'll be in the Division basement this year.

Well, I was thinking Seattle on Nov. 1, but with a healthy Hasselbeck and WR corps they should be much improved.

Seattle CAN'T be worse than last year. They're the one team off the top of my head that was hurt by injuries worse than us. (Yes, remembered the Pats losing their pretty boy)

gibbsisgod · 04-15-2009, 10:33 AM

Seattle's WR situation was awful. It reminded me of the Giants LB group back in '05 (i, think). They were signing WRs only to put them on IR a week later.

Afraid Colt will get hurt?

They'll be protecting players just like us. I like putting the younger players up against tougher teams and schemes early...should help their development.

How about our LB corp in '06 LOL

diehardskin2982 · 04-15-2009, 11:07 AM

Our schedule always look favorable to me, its the team that beats itself time and time again. Not other teams

BDBohnzie · 04-15-2009, 11:08 AM

Raiders aside, the 2nd half of the schedule is brutal, with 4 of the 6 division games, @ Falcons and @ Chargers. If the Skins can somehow go 5-2, 6-1 before the bye, they have a solid playoff chance.

Not sure how Doc did, but Kevin got "no hits"

Weird how the other teams are all "tougher" than ours when they all play mainly the same teams.

You know what that means, right? Dallas/NJ/Philly's schedules are all tougher because they play us twice.
