If we needed anymore ammo to think the NFL hates us....

We do get a home game on Thanksgiving night which is pretty big (depending on your point of view.) Actually I agree with most of the gripes some of you have, but I also like the schedule (with the exception of opening on the road.) We appear to get a week 8 bye, which is balanced, and a bunch of Sunday Noon games in succession is good for me. I don't really care about playing MNF because Sunday is soon enough. It is pretty stupid we can't play on Wednesday cause of One Holiday but can play on another?! Whatever! It's gonna be a good season. And we get to rub it in the Browns face for the home opener.

Not even close to the same thing.

Ray Lewis and Ed Reed are gone so that's less ratings for Prime time games, perhaps?

Actually this is one of the better ones we have had I think, other than the snafu with the Orioles being worthless.

We dont have to play anyone coming off their bye week this year. Previous years we have had at least one, if not two.

Perhaps not to you Stinger but others feel different.

As a fan I agree, the less night games the better

Why did the Dolphins game have to be October 6th in Miami? October is great home game weather and still oppressively warm in Miami. This game would have been a great away game in November or December instead we go to Detroit on 12/16.Yeah thats a great road trip.

SCREW MNF!

It's a big inconvenience and I have to take off work the next day. I seriously hate those and the Thursday night games.

I care about Super Bowls not prime time games.

- 4 away games in 5 weeks.
- Only 1 home game in October (e.g. best weather)
- Another Thanksgiving at home??? We just had one 2 years ago!

P.S. I am HAPPY with no Monday night game at home. Monday night isn't nearly the prestigious game it once was.

Eh, not really. The week eight bye breaks that up a bit so we have back to back weeks at Bills and Fins, home vs GB, at Pitt, BYE then at CLE. Not bad at all.

By the way, how pissed must the Browns be? They have to travel to Bmore for our home opener and SB celebration after we've had a long week to prep and then they host us after our bye where John is 5-0.

I don't think the schedule disrespects us at all. Opening on the road sucks, but that wasn't the league's fault. I think a home game on Thanksgiving is awesome.
