I was just bringing up things I was considering. I know our schedule last year. So we could have Denver away, and then the London game then. That wouldn't be ideal.

True, that wouldn't be too great. However it is, is what we have to work with.

This looks stacked, hope the second half isnt the actual schedule.

Not too many people wanna admit this, but the schedule is gonna be stacked no matter what. If we go 4-2 in the division (could very well lose 1 on the road), then we'd need to win 8-10 just to go 12-4. After the divisional games, which may be just as hard--if not harder than last yr, competition wise, we have the following games that we'd need to win 8 outta 10 of:

Indy
Tennessee
Denver
Baltimore
New Orleans
Jacksonville
Tampa Bay
Carolina
Atlanta
Houston

As you can see, our work is cut out for us. Hopefully the harder schedule will get us focused, and our play improved down the stretch, come playoff time.

Of course, we could go 5-1 in the division--then only have to win 7 outta the next 10, but you get the picture. 12-4 will be considered very good by me at least.

There are things to consider that would make this easier or harder. Remember last year, when they had back to back away games in Cali? I don't see anything like that. Thats a small point though.

I mean the could have the London game, and then the Denver game, ya know?

I would rather the tougher games be towards the end of the year anyway this year. That way we know Brady has had the time to get back into the swing of things.

I like the bye-week after the London game.

I doubt this is actually it though.

Thanks, I'm aware of that. I was responding to the previous user's comment on why the Pats aren't playing the Giants, Steelers, or Chargers.

I was just adding onto what you had already said. I mean you did say schedule, not opponents. Sheesh, cut me some some slack here. Any thoughts on anything else I said?

The fact of the matter is, it isn't it. It's 100% not it. As someone stated above, it was posted on Patriots.com in just a random order to fill the schedule table. Just no one saw the disclaimer.

Oh! That one has been up there for a while.

Wont happen. Last year the NFL put SD in Buffalo before shipping them to London. New Orleans left from Carolina. The Giants and Phish each had home games before their trip.

I could see us going to Buffalo or NY and then to London but no where else really.
