Also we have two bye weeks.

The Philly game falls on Thursday, then their next game is Monday against Baltimore. So a entire seven days off...of course there is a short week the week we play Philly though.

Not a bad schedule. Nice little tough stretch with the Vikings, Jets and Boys in 3 straight weeks but luckily 2 of those 3 are at home.

Wk 3: @ Denver - 4:15 pm(CBS)
Wk 4: @ Jacksonville - 4:05 pm(CBS)
Wk 5: Kansas City - 1 pm(CBS)
Wk 6: @ Washington - 8:20 pm(NBC)
Wk 7: Bye
Wk 8: Houston - 8:30 pm(ESPN)
Wk 9: @ Philadelphia - 4:15 pm(CBS)
Wk 10: Cincinnati - 1 pm(CBS)
Wk 11: @ New England - 4:15 pm(CBS)
Wk 12: San Diego - 8:20 pm(NBC)
Wk 13: Dallas - 4:15 pm(FOX)
Wk 14: @ Tennessee - 8:20 pm(NFL Network)
Wk 15: Jacksonville - 1 pm(CBS)
Wk 16: @ Oakland - 4:05 pm(CBS)
WK 17: Tennessee - 1 pm(CBS)

I'm loving the time slots. 5 primetime games and 6 other late games. Only 5 1 pm games. That should help me be able to watch them more often being on National TV so much(seeing as how I'm not living in Indy anymore). I'm surprised IND/NE isn't on SNF though, seems like it's almost a tradition for it to be on SNF. lol.

Pretty tough schedule. After the bye week is going to be critical. A division rival against the Texans and then 5 straight games against Playoff teams. And I can't wait for Round 2 of the Manning Bowl.

Yeah.. I love playing the NFC East though. Makes for some great games.

San Francisco has 5 nationally televised games. I didn't expect that.


My mistake. It's four for the Niners, not five.

I like it. But of course this is assuming that one, if not both of them are still relevant by then.

Damn.. reminds me of when the Browns got 5 in '08. Don't think the 49ers will be as bad to watch as the Browns were though.
