We already talked about it here :

Based on this year, next year's schedule could be a doozy...

and we have no idea how tough the schedule is, teams change so much from year to year.

Wait, we are playing Indy away for the third freaking season in a row? What the F?! For God's sake, what is up with that?

The difference is that Brady calmly calls audibles while Manning flaps like a chicken, barks 11 code words, and makes sure every camera in the stadium has documented his once-in-a-generation (and patented, I believe) ability to see a defensive formation and change the play. Both have the same effect, but Manning transcends measurable human intellect while Brady merely chooses a different play.

As I've pointed out before, it was the same idiotic schedule that had them playing in Foxboro for three consecutive years ('04, '05, '06).

Basically, they decided that from 2002 to 2009, when two divisions didn't play each other, they'd have the same matchup in both intervening years. In other words, for the AFC East and AFC South:

2002 East 1 @ South 1
2003 divisions play
2004 South 1 @ East 1
2005 South 1 @ East 1
2006 divisions play
2007 East 1 @ South 1
2008 East 1 @ South 1
2009 divisions play

has anyone seen pitt's schedule this yr ? its been brutal. Credit to them inspite of injuries they are still 9-3.
Good teams win tough games like we won last yr. So if we can build a decent group , tough schedule should be winnable.

No-one picked up on that yet!


Surely; it would be Raiders!!! Unless Chiefs start to keep leads in games!!

This schedule will make the '09 Superbowl Run even sweeter... particularly as we run the table 16-0.

Everyone said their schedule this year was supposed to be a cake walk because of teams like Miami, Buff, etc. Even the Jets (pre favre) were suppose to be average. You just can't predict how teams will change between now, and next Sept.

The schedule for next year means nothing right now. I guarantee you that some of the teams we think are going to be brutal will not and some that are supposed to be cakewalks won't either. The Pats were supposed to breeze through the AFC East this year and as it stands right now, 2 teams might be 11-5 and one might be 10-6. The Browns, Packers, Chargers, and Jags were playoff contenders coming into the season while Atlanta and Miami weren't supposed to do anything.

Next year's schedule could end up being easier than this year's when everything is said and done.

Hopefully next year we are healthier then this year.
