[DennyMcLain]

... and the Lions don't get a bye until Week 7.

You'd think they'd give Detroit a fighting chance.

Week 1 - @New Orleans
Week 2 - Minnesota
Week 3 - Washington
Week 4 - @Da Bears
Week 5 - Pittsburgh Gl'enns
Week 6 - @Cheeseheads
Week 7 - Bye bye
Week 8 - St. Blew Us
Week 9 - @Seattle
Week 10 - @Minnesota
Week 11 - Cleveland Steamers
Week 12 - Cheeseheads
Week 13 - Bye... I means, @the Bengals.
Week 14 - @Baltimore
Week 15 - Arizona
Week 16 - @San Francisco
Week 17 - Da Bears

I like our chances

Why would you want it any earlier than that? Not quite half-way through the season, gives them a break right in the middle to recharge.

I'd have preferred week 4 or 5, to allow an off week to re-evaluate and adjust. I'm sure there's going to be a lot of tweaking this season.

I would have liked the bye right before the Gl'enns.

I dont see much if any easy-ness there. That's ok, I wasn planning a Detroit Lions Super Bowl party anyway.

[MoTown]

Hmm... 0-32?

[Jethro34]

Go back to 2007, they've actually lost their last 17, and 23 of 24.

How did we get both Super Bowl teams at home?

[DennyMcLain]

Gl'enn pushed some political weight to get his mancrush POLAMALU to the D.

2 to 1 he's already got his tix.

SD got the cupcake schedule of the playoff teams. Only one game is a 10:00 pacific start for them.

Everyone is complaining about Thanksgiving (with Detroit of course and Dallas getting the Raiders).

AZ got a easy schedge too. By the numbers the Bear, Minni and Pack were in the top 5 easiest schedges if I saw it correctly. Playing us 2 times a year might have something to do with that though.
