Tough stretch"

you have to be kidding me...this a tough stretch????

oakland sucks
panthers are a mid-lvl team at best
chargers will be a tough game
falcons suck
chiefs suck
packers will drop off a TON with favre not being behind center

That's what I was thinking- if this is tough, then we are in deep trouble this year

I will be at one, not both, plus @ ATL. Gotto decide which Cally patsies I wanted to see in NO

I watched ESPN (mistake, I know) just in time to hear them bash the Saints. None of them besides Jaws give us a winning season.

Jones Drew was on there and had a like smack takl as well. I was wondering.....didn't we beat them last year?????

I recently moved from NE Louisiana to Williamsburg, VA and am excited to see the Redskins game on the schedule. Are tickets going to be hard to come by?

I may be driving to this game solo so anyone sending me some advice on where to get seats in that stadium would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

even with their new, bigger stadium the Deadskins sell out yearly, so it will be a tough ticket. eBay/stubhub are options, or waiting until close to gameday and hoping that Wash. is not playing well might work.

My bad... No games in the Dome in 43 days... I guess I am over reacting.
But just to be sure...

7 Oct. 19 at Carolina Panthers 1 p.m.
On the road... Division opponent... time could be rescheduled...
8 Oct. 26 San Diego Chargers (in London) 1 p.m.
On the road... potential Super Bowl contender...
9 Nov. 2 Bye

10 Nov. 9 at Atlanta Falcons 1 p.m.
They may suck... but the check the overall record... it's alway a tough game... oh yeah on the road again...
11 Nov. 16 at Kansas City Chiefs 1 p.m.
On the road... one of toughest places to play in the league...
12 Nov. 24 (Mon.) Green Bay Packers 8:30 p.m.
Finally, a home game... against the team who was in the NFC title game.

These are 5 games we could easily lose and only one is at home.

I lived up that way before when I was in the military. Va Beach, Norfolk, DC areas. I got lucky because the civilians I worked with had season tickets for the Redskins and Ravens so I made all the games and GREAT seats. ALL I can say is good luck getting to see the Redskins there! You'll have better shot driving up to see the Ravens.

I really don't care about strenght of schedule. I mean if you want to be a champion you have to play solid teams that are legit contenders. If we play a week schedule and end up in the play offs and get blown out... really what good is that? You stand up and get tested during the season so you know where you stand against them and even better prepare for them in the playoffs... EXAMPLE - Giants. They lost ot the PATs in regular season but they were so fired up to have another crack at them in the SB.

I really feel the problem with us is that we don't have a championship team as a rival.

Well if you were hoping that we were gonna get any respect after the crap we put on the field last season your in la la land...

Let pray for a rebound from the celler this season, schedule & experts be damned!
