I don't find the home schedule that daunting.

Were you expecting to play Duke?

I guess it was that away portion that made me say holy shit. Lovie back to soldier field maybe?

I could see 10 wins out of that with a quick turn around on Defense.

Honestly, it isn't that hard of a schedule. The AFC East is one of the better group of opponents to have. There's the Patriots, but after that you have the Dolphins, Jets, and Bills, which should all be winnable. The AFC North should be better with the Ravens and Steelers improving, the Bengals being strong, and Cleveland having some talent. AFC West has the Chiefs and Broncos and the Chargers being solid. AFC South will have the Colts and an improved Texans team. So from the AFC side of things, I think we're off quite well.

On the NFC side of things, we have it OK. We're not getting the NFC North again, unfortunately, but we avoided the NFC West with the Seahawks, 49ers, Cardinals, and Rams. We do get the Falcons on the road, but at least we don't travel to the Saints dome too. So yeah, overall I'm fine with this schedule.

Very manageable schedule. If our offense continues to play great and our D can even improve to a top 15 D then we could easily be looking at 11-5 to 12-4.

looks like 9-7...or whatever will end up being one win less than we need.

ThaGator · Dec 31, 2013

If the defense is anywhere near top 15 next season, this team should win 11 games; barring injury, of course.

Brainfart on my part. I meant NFC East.

As for the 49ers part, I meant we avoid them as a division. We weren't going to get the Rams(though I think they'll be dangerous next season) because we get whoever finished 2nd in the other divisions.
