Playing the Cowboys and Colts at home will help but that road schedule is almost incredibly hard. 4 play off teams + NO who could come back with something to prove next year and 3 divisional opponents that proved towards the end of the season they are very competitive.

Next season we are going to have alot to prove and all the teams we play will try show that the 2007 was a fluke. Hopefully Brett will stick around and TT goes outside his box and makes some FA moves to get this team over the hump for next season.

I learned my lesson this year. I have absolutely no idea how tough or easy our season will be.

But remember, this season we played four road games against 2006 playoff teams, along with three home games. We also played another three teams that didn't make the playoffs yet finished .500 or better.

On paper, I think the 2008 schedule may end up looking easier than the 2007. That'll all change once next September and October roll around.

This schedule looks easier, but I sure as hell hope we're playing Indianapolis and Dallas in December.

At first glance that road schedule looks brutal...but like DB noted, the schedule we had this year was supposed to be hard as well.
