Looks like our opponents are set now.  Barring a serious upset in Tampa Bay next week, here are the teams we will face.

Home Away
Dallas Cowboys Philadelphia Eagles
New York Giants Washington Redskins
Baltimore Ravens Cleveland Browns
Cincinnati Bengals Pittsburgh Steelers
Seattle Seahawks Detroit Lions
Atlanta Falcons Atlanta Falcons
New Orleans Saints New Orleans Saints
Tampa Bay Buccaneers    Tampa Bay Buccaneers

I hope to see our first back to back winning season.  However, I do recognize that as defending Super Bowl champs, we're going to get everyone's A game so it's going to be a challenge.

Damn that is a brutal schedule.

The Giants are going to get a high draft pick and get all their weapons back

We've had Washington's number recently but if they keep Cousins than they can always be tough.

Dallas is Dallas and we always seem to play 11 on 18 when we play them.

Philly will have Wentz back and this time we gotta go to their house.

Baltimore and Pittsburgh are alway stout

Detroit might have a new HC but they have Stafford and as we saw this year.  He ain't out of it till the game is over.

And last but not least the NFC South, the toughest division in football and we got everyone twice.  

It will be interesting if Gruden comes back.  Remember our MNF game where we basically RAN (299 yards rushing) him out of Tampa in 08 when we were neck and neck for the division title.

Seriously?  Not one of our home opponents scares me.

I figure we should at least go 3-3 in division play.  The Cowboys and Seahawks may be tough, but the Giants, Ravens, and Bengals are all middle-tier teams that will still be trying to put all the pieces together.  And our road games at Cleveland and Detroit?  Come on, man!  Every one of those fan-bases out there is saying, "Damn, we have to play the Panthers next year!  How can we double Olsen and contain Cam?"

6-2 at home, play even on the road, back to back winning seasons for the first time.

The Giants were riddled with injuries on offense.  They were basically playing with practice squad guys. Baltimore is a playoff team and the Bengals are a mirror of our 2016 team.  I am less worried about Seattle as I feel the wheels fell off their team.  Cleveland shouldn't be an issue 

I never said we couldn't handle them just think this is going to be a tough schedule. 

10-6 would be highly acceptable and I agree we can handle it.  

Just because they sucked this year doesn't equate to much next year.  Some of those teams had bad luck this year.

      Ekwonu doesn’t get dog walked under 2 minutes in the 4th, we drive, kick a FG and win

      A lot of young QB's struggle with holding on to the ball top long. He has gotten better progressively in that regard. Pocket Time(in Sec):  2.5(2023), 2.3(2024), 2.2(2025) Time to Throw(in Sec): 2.9(2023), 2.79(2024), 2.82(2025) The divedends have been fairly small, is the issue.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      I'm firing DC, though I think it actually makes the job less attractive. He's not prepared to be a HC and it's showed. A new HC is not going to be tied automatically to BY. He's going to want to bring in some level of competition in the QB room because anyone who has ever watched football knows our QB room is lacking. If he doesn't, that tells a more interesting tale of who's really calling the shots.  Dave hasn't been decisive enough in game and that leadership council BS has trust fall vibes. Our offense has been pathetically stale and vanilla. Our run game while good has made no sense based on who has been playing best. Our defense is improved but they can't be expected to hold opposing teams to below 17 a game because our offense can't score consistently.  We've beaten some teams we shouldn't have beaten, specifically GB and the Rams, and I think our record doesn’t accurately reflect where the team and the coaching really is. We've fallen flat against a geriatric rookie QB leading a 2-10 NO team and got our ass handed to us TWICE. We're unprepared for the biggest games.  This is what happens though when real coaching candidates turn down interviews because your owner is a narcissistic butthole. You get someone no one else bothered to call and you get the results everyone else would have expected if they had.

      The Saints would be 2-12 if not for us. We are 50% of their wins. A organization serious about the playoffs does not get bullied by a sh*t team like the Saints TWICE. It's over my brotha.
