so i was bored and after the favre trade, i was browsing the schedule to see how would it affect our wildcard push (indirectly)
anyway the good news is that the tacks and bills will hopefully be losing another game. the other good news is that we now will def face the rodgers/brohm led packers which has become imminently more winnable than if they had favre. also the vikes are stuck with tavaris now
however the bad news is that the jets have a pretty cakewalk sched and will be a major threat to take a WC place (SF, MIA x 2, OAK, KC, CIN, SF, STL etc)
granted games never always go like you expect from looking at the sched but id be shocked if NYJ dont win at least 8
i then moved on to our own full schedule and despite the tough start, i think we'll still be right on course if we come into week 6 at 2-3 (or even worst case 1-4)..

obviously it would suck and we'd all be pretty bummed but something i noticed is that we have a chance to build some serious momentum in the mid and late part of the season.. if we're the team we think we are, theres absolutely no reason* why we wont go 4-0 or 3-1 at worst in those mid games, especially with the bye to rest up before the toughest of those v minne
*=injuries of course are always a huge factor

8 Bye

then we have another mini-tough patch with the colts and browns away but with some previously mentioned momentum, we might steal one (especially the brown who's secondary might be in bits by then)
11 Nov 16 HOU @ IND 1:00 PM Tickets CBS
12 Nov 23 HOU @ CLE 1:00 PM Tickets CBS
now comes the home stretch beginning with MNF v the jags at home. the jags will be good but you'd have to like our chances too with the emotion etc that will surround the game (ala denver except bigger). if we do win that i think we have a good shot to go 5-0 in december (which is the main reason i posted this thread because i never noticed that before).. the easiest games on paper are on the road and id like our chances against the tacks and bears at home which would mean we'd enter the playoffs as the hottest team in the nfl!
