My thoughts exactly. Not thrilled about the early bye or the middle of the schedule but overall?
We can work with this.
The early bye isn't great, but the time off after the Boys Turkey Day game will essentially act as a second "mini-bye"

MNF at home?! I might have to attend this!

You do realize we all will be pointing out random people in the stands and claim they are you right?
Rams could start 0-5 and that Bucs game is probably the last one in STL

Based on the schedule I actually think Bradford has a shot of making it to week 9-10 before his legs fall off.

Pretty much, no reason for that being on the schedule except as a joke
Fortunately by that time I shall be pretending the NFL doesn't exist and wiping the floor with all of you on Joseph Clifford Montana Jr. American Football 2016 for the Xbox All in One Entertainment System
We do play on Thanksgiving. Just not at night.
Fuck the Colts, Indianapolis, luck , corn, EZ, IRSAY and the WR formerly known as Dre.

Don't like having 3 straight home games after our bye week. Besides that our schedule isn't that bad.
Really balanced schedule for the Niners, week 10 bye and no real rough stretches a la Pittsburgh on paper.
REALLY happy with the schedule. If we can bludgeon our way through it - I'm thinking 10-11 wins. If we don't show improvement we probably win 5-7.
Should be a good season!

Looks like the Colts should be 5-0 heading into that night game against the Pats at home!

Eagles from a rest into the final week and the Cowboys off a bye. Eh. Nice to see a Week 11 bye.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
SNF is the best thing to happen to the league in years. Fantastic schedule.

If Peyton Manning produces at his career averages, hell become the NFLs all-time passing leader in Week 9 at Indianapolis. No accident.
For those keeping track at home, the Broncos' Week 8 game is against...the Packers.

Better announcers, can sleep in, better matchups (usually).

Agreed.
It's also because I want the Giants game out of the way early. It will dictate my mood for the rest of the day and I hate going to bed angry.
Lets see....usually best match up (hype!) and us out of town fans can actually watch the game from home in the best HD quality.

I can see us going 13-3 this season. I think we split the first two, win the next 3, go 2-1 in the next 3, win the next 4 and lose either at Baltimore or at Arizona.

I like the Pack schedule. Week 7 bye seems pretty good for readjusting and demoting all the stupid defensive starters we'll have somehow rolled with for the first six weeks, and getting the Seattle beatdown done in week 2 is about as perfect as I could ask for.

Gruden does like him some football players.

Yeah but you still can't avoid that feeling when you wake up the next morning

Week 10 bye for the Giants. It's been awhile since we had a bye week that late in the season.
AFC East this season, too? SUPER BOWL HERE WE COME!

Al Michaels. It's always a big game when he calls it.

Spider 2 Y Banana is better than whatever 4th-string crew FOX usually ends up giving us.

Panthers fans still have that small team mentality to where we (including myself) wear the number of primetime games we get to play as a badge of honor.
But historically (including last year where the they went 0-3 and got outscored 110-50 in those games), the team has come up really fucking small in them.
Hopefully that changes?
EDIT: Just realized that we play the NFC West in 2016. We're guaranteed at least two more Cam-Wussys! That means we're guaranteed at least two more losses!

It's so true. Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth are going to be the defining announcers for me looking back on this era.

I'd rather watch #bgstream or #beadstream with them broadcasting the game from their cell phone inside the stadium or some bullshit like that.
It would probably be better footage than Fox though so that's a bonus!

lulz, a junior member PM'd me the "Die painfully okay?" form hate letter. Surely if I did something horrible you could at least take the time to bang out some original content!
Anybody know if there's an official mod inbox for reporting this nonsense? Is it becoming a common thing (bot???)?
