2014 Schedule Revisited

[adam]

With the draft complete, let's now look at the schedule and see how this is going to play out. To me the first half of the season is going to be what makes or breaks this team. There are some really tough games, but if we can get thru at 4-4 or 5-3 at the bye, it looks like we can make a sustained post season run in the second half.

 

Week 1 - BILLS (WIN 1-0) - Bills used a lot to get Watkins, but they still have QB issues

Week 2 - AT 49ERS (SUN NIGHT) (LOSS 1-1) - This is going to be a tough one in their new park, we can actually win this but right now they have the edge

Week 3 - AT JETS (MON) (WIN 2-1) - Another tough game, but I think all around we are a better team, the coast to coast travel is my main concern

Week 4 - PACKERS (WIN 3-1) - Short week for us, but at home, Packers playing back to back Divisional opponents on the road (played DET in Week 3)

Week 5 - AT PANTHERS (WIN 4-1) - This team played over their head last year, expect a letdown with no WR's, coming from BAL (Steve Smith reunion)

Week 6 - AT FALCONS (LOSS 4-2) - This is winnable, but I think we lose one of these two road games in Week's 5-6

Week 7 - DOLPHINS (WIN 5-2) - Playing at home after Miami played GB the week prior

Week 8 - AT PATRIOTS (LOSS 5-3) - NE gets extra rest from Week 7 Thursday game

Week 9 - BYE WEEK

Week 10 - AT PACKERS (SUN NIGHT) (LOSS 5-4) - I think we split with the Pack this year, we have a decent shot at winning this one

Week 11 - VIKINGS (WIN 6-4) - I think we sweep the Vikes this year handily

Week 12 - BUCCANEERS (WIN 7-4) - Lovie reunion, at home we win, in TB would've been tougher

Week 13 - AT LIONS (THURS) (WIN 8-4) - Detroit coming from NE in Week 12, I think we have the edge

Week 14 - COWBOYS (THURS) (WIN 9-4) - At home with a normal amount of rest due to back to back Thursday games

Week 15 - SAINTS (MON) (WIN 10-4) - Extra rest, at home, in the winter

Week 16 - LIONS (WIN 11-4) - Lions out of their dome, in the winter

Week 17 - AT VIKINGS (WIN 12-4) - Vikes playing outdoors after so many years as an indoor team, I think they struggle late

 

12-4 - Division Champion
