This looks like the result of an, "Oh whatever. Let's schedule the important teams first then we'll throw in the rest wherever we can fit'em."

Dallas, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Washington, Denver, Green Bay (or San Francisco when they don't suck)...

Getting out the gate quickly will be paramount for the Saints. Three away games in four weeks is tough.

I know Scott Walker's sister, Sherry, very well. Her sons swim on the year round USA Swimming squad on which my son is head coach. She was over here at our house last month.

I tend to be a traditionalist...And what I'd loved to see is that the all NFL schedules begin and end with division games...

Week 3 and Week 15 would be Rivals Week - our foe being the Falcons...

Have the conference foes follow the opening group and lead into the division games at the end...

And in the middle of the season, have the Inter-conference games, BYE weeks, the Goodell-Nike Color-tard games, and the Rick Steves Destinations Games...

The concern is the 5 days rest for the defense. Don't think they can shut down Minny and then turn around and do the same thing against NE. And this FO best save the big stuff on O for week 2 instead of wasting it on the vikings. Last year, and in recent years, hardly ever were there back to back offensive outputs of a high magnitude especially with short rest of 5 days or less in between. After every big game offensively, the offense looks less than desirable the next week and takes a couple weeks to recharge.

Don't know if it's the three 7-9 finishes, anxiousness of all the new roster additions, or getting swept by the ATL which has been rare under Coach Payton...

But getting to the regular season is feeling like a marathon...
