2012-13 NFL Schedule

[pbmax]

At least one 3 game road trip on this schedule I think, plus another 3 game sequence with 2 road games with a bye week. Season ends on the road. Either Lions or Bears.

Doesn't Ten in second to last week break the intra-division matchups that Goodell promised to get good matchups late in season?

No Lions in Detroit on Thanksgiving?

Good.

Three road games in a row? Really? Jaysus.

When's the bye?

The well has run dry. I think this will be all we get until 3 minutes from now.

I can't believe I'm getting worked up about the schedule. As former Lion running back James Jones said in a post-game interview after yet another embarrassing Lions' loss, "It is what it is."

Bye is Week 10. 3 game road trip in October (Weeks 5,6,7).

We were WAY ahead of them. Had it done at 6:04. Now who pays me for this work?
3 Sunday Night Games, 1 Monday Night Game, 1 Thurs and at least 1 National Doubleheader.

[sheepshead]

yeah but theirs is pretty

[Fritz]

Not a bad schedule, other than the brutal 3 road games in a row.

I like the bye week later, as it is here. A good spot for a team to catch its breath.

Between September 30th and December 2nd (63 days), the Packers will only have two home games. The middle of their schedule isn't kind in that regard. I guess it makes sense. The national draw on the front end and the Frozen Tundra on the back end.

That's a pretty brutal opening 2 weeks. The game plan for the Bears is going to have to go during camp. And with Captain Tice in charge of the offense and Cutler's former Denver guy in a QB coach/passing game coordinator, its going to be interesting.

I'm glad to get the thursday night game out of the way early. There's a smaller chance of fatigue injuries early in the season (assuming the preseason is conducted sensibly). Guys always seem to get hurt playing on Thursday after Sunday.

[sheepshead]

Probably already mentioned but Matt Flynn on Monday night

[ThunderDan]

What's with every preseason game being on a Thursday? Where are the Saturday night games?
