Something I noticed about the toughest two game stretch on the schedule

[Chimera]

Don't we play more teams coming off a bye than any other team in the NFL? The schedule makers really hate us, at least that's what I assume based on the past few years.

look at seattle's schedule. they may as well have two bye weeks. Thursday night game, then play again 11 days later on a Monday. Then their actual bye week, they have an extra day as their first game back is also on a Monday.

If we spank the bux on the road, and then demoralize alt. at home, we will be 5-3, on a 4 game roll, going into SF, their 6-2 record, with their Super Bowl aspirations, coming off a bye, and play in the NFCW. to start the second half of the season.

It may only be 1 road game. But it could be one of those trademark defining moments type deals. If, Zod forbid, we come out of SF with the win. We are 6-3. Or 1-0 in the 2nd half of the season, for those of us who follow those things. We will be in the thick of all things Championship.

If we lose? So what? Losing on the road is not the worst thing in the world. It is after all, called "Home Field Advantage" for a reason.

I already count the Pats as a Home Win. So beating the 9ers, would be huge in my world. The longer we elude that 4th loss, the better.

Our main weapon as to the playoffs, at this point in the season, is our having only 3 losses is huge. If the playoffs started this weekend, we would be playing. Yup, you heard that right.

Ahh, the schedule makers. They are a WTF? lot. Look at our schedule, then look at your example. Pretty obvious, to me anywho, that all schedules are not created equal.
