Solid matchups!

Aqua4Ever04 · 03-26-2007, 05:20 PM

Looks like we'll be opening up against Oakland. I like that idea. I love starting the season 1-0. I'm not saying it's a gimme, but it is the Raiders.

Rocky Raccoon · 03-26-2007, 05:21 PM

PFT screwed up...it's actually Saints at Colts...not the other way around.

Yeah, we looked at the Marlins schedule and it makes sense that Miami opens at home. We haven't opened against a division rival since '98 and I don't expect us to start now.

This leaves:
Baltimore (Monday night vs. Cincy)
Cincinnati (Monday night vs. Bal)
Dallas (Sunday night vs. NYG)
New York Giants (Sunday night vs. Dal)

Oakland- That leaves you Raiders. You're going down so hard!

SpurzN703 · 03-26-2007, 05:26 PM

Well if those matchups are guaranteed, we'd play either Oakland or any of our division opponents.

Saints/Colts will be a money game, as will Bears/Chargers.

Giants/Cowboys bores me, Ravens/Bengals bores me, and Cardinals at 49ers stinks.

Oakland at Miami is awesome, I wanted to play those shmucks the first game of the year since I'll be at the game.

Question is, will I be seeing Quinn, Russel, Johnson, or David Carr playing against us?

I just checked the A's schedule and they're on the road on Septerber 9th too. So Oakland is probably opening at home as well. So maybe it's not them.

Oh yeah, I had'nt even thought of that, good research!

Sweet, maybe we will get the Bills, Pats or Jets.

On Thanksgiving, Detroitâ€™s traditional home game will be against Green Bay at 12:30 p.m. EST. That will be followed by the New York Jets at Dallas at 4:15 p.m. EST.

The night game on Thanksgiving will have the Colts at Atlanta at 8:15 p.m., the first of the NFL Networkâ€™s eight telecasts for late in the season.

Previously, the league scheduled the Miami Dolphins to host the New York Giants at Wembley Stadium in London on Oct. 28. It will be the NFLâ€™s first regular-season game outside North America.

The rest of the schedule will be announced in April.
