matty j says sup

did he sprain his lip when he said it?

 

[GloryDaysRBack]

all the rumors are true

September doesn't look too bad.

Ny, kc, st.louis, at the chargers

Bye in week 11

 

[GloryDaysRBack]

4 out of last 6 on road..with a bye in there...other than that..very favorable...looks really good

 

[Theebs]

Whole summer to get ready for ny, then a bye before we play them again.

Then the nice turkey day break before Chicago.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Why does it matter where we play whoever... It's still eight home, eight away. Not like we're going to open with four road games in a row or something.

I guess I don't see it. It all comes out in the wash anyway.

 

[Theebs]

Sorry, it matters to me.

It's entirely different playing at home to start and finish.

Brings a ton of excitement to the games.

Getting the giants on snf at home and the redskins on snf at home is huge.

I understand why you care which games you get to see in person as a season ticket holder, I just don't buy that it impacts the team's overall success.

The only thing I don't like is that I see we have five noon games in the first nine weeks. (And two more the last weeks of the season though they can be flexed.) That has to be a record in recent times, doesn't it? I hate noon games!

 

[dbair1967]

Honestly it might be one of the more favorable schedules that we have had in years. Open at home, close at home. We end the season with Philly, a team that's probably going to suck this year.

Late bye week for the first time since I can remember.

About the only negative is the trade off for the home open/close appears to have been going on the road before and after Thanksgiving.

I wonder what made them change their mind about Thanksgiving vs Oakland instead of Denver. That had been reported for weeks.

bye week before @ny and long break after thanksgiving before @chi...this schedule is incredibly favorable

It matters when almost year after year they have us starting on the road against a very tough opponent, then have us close away too (which has happened a ton since the mid 90's)

I think its also helpful to have the bye late rather than early (where we have it most years)

2013 NFL schedule: Dallas Cowboys a contender

other teams blah blah blah

The 2012 non-playoff team that has perhaps the best chance of advancing deep into the postseason this year is Dallas. Returning a relatively strong roster, the Cowboys face just one of NFL's top-five powerhouses. It can be argued fairly that every game on their schedule is winnable.

And dbair... Still don't see why it matters. If you start with tough teams, you have easier teams later. Again, it all comes out in the wash. It's not like the opponents aren't already decided.

I do wish we had a better game on Thanksgiving. It was kind of nice last year playing a decent team in a game that meant something, though the outcome turned out to be awful.

 

[Theebs]

It's is going to be a great year at the stadium.

If any of u guys have not been to a game here yet, this is the year to come. Great set of home games and the only one that will have a bad crowd is Oakland, but it's turkey day so the crowd is always good.

I am pumped.

my impression as well. I cant remember the last time I felt this good about the schedule.

my buzzard's luck continues. The Cowboys play in San Diego the Sunday after USC plays Arizona State here. Means a late Saturday night game and then an early morning drive to SD Sunday morning, with no time to actually enjoy San Diego.

 

[Theebs]

I want t go to San Diego or Kansas City.

stop bellyaching

Andy Reid's home opener in kc should be difficult. He knows us inside out and that should be a tough crowd.

 

[GloryDaysRBack]

we dont play any teams following their bye week...unreal...how did we catch such a break?

 

[dbair1967]

Not really worried about KC. They are butchering their OL (which was one of the few strengths of the team), have a suckass QB that they overpaid to get and a pretty ho hum defense. Their crowd will be good I'm sure, but they stink as a team.
