2012 Schedule

8-8

 

Hard to predict so early, but I'll take a stab:

Sunday September 9 @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers 4:15pm - WIN
Sunday September 16 New Orleans Saints 1:00pm - LOSS
Thursday September 20 New York Giants 8:20pm - WIN
Sunday September 30 @ Atlanta Falcons 1:00pm - LOSS

Sunday October 7 Seattle Seahawks 4:05pm - WIN
Sunday October 14 BYE
Sunday October 21 Dallas Cowboys 1:00pm - WIN
Sunday October 28 @ Chicago Bears 1:00pm - LOSS

Sunday November 4 @ Washington Redskins 1:00pm - WIN
Sunday November 11 Denver Broncos 1:00pm - LOSS
Sunday November 18 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1:00pm* - WIN
Monday November 26 @ Philadelphia Eagles 8:30pm - LOSS

Sunday December 2 @ Kansas City Chiefs 1:00pm* - LOSS
Sunday December 9 Atlanta Falcons 1:00pm* - LOSS
Sunday December 16 @ San Diego Chargers 4:05pm* - WIN
Sunday December 23 Oakland Raiders 1:00pm* - WIN
Sunday December 30 @ New Orleans Saints 1:00pm* - LOSS

I come up with 8-8. Steady improvement, but it's a tough schedule, and the defense isn't going to turn around immediately.

 

Another vote for 8-8 from bleacher report:

Getting Seattle, Denver and Oakland at home is a really good break, imo.

 

No kidding. These are semi tossup games (albeit before the Manning signing) so having them at home is a plus

 

I really like the Tampa opener. Unique, in that we've never opened up down there. I know Schiano is getting a ton of hype, and they did sign some nice pieces. But, much like Arizona last year, this is a very winnable opener.

Saints, if they don't get Brees signed, will be a fucking mess by week 2. If they do get him signed, they'll be a semi-fucking mess.

Like the flow of December, and happy that Oakland has to fly their asses out here on Christmas week.

 

We could get one or two more prime time games on Sunday with the flex schedule. NBC has the option to switch to better games in the last quarter of the season.
