Looks like every single one of the Skins home games (except the Eagles) will be at 1:00 p.m.!! Oh well, looks like I'll be getting up at 5:30 a.m. a lot this coming season! Break out those scrapple sandwiches baby!

Interesting in that the NFL has decided we all should call this the 2004 season again!

No worries! Only concern is minor in that we have to go out to the ponies and the chiefs on consecutive weekends but it will be fun to see chump get his lumps early!

With the parity in the NFL now, all these teams are good! the teams with the better records are generally the deeper teams who can handle the injuries and setbacks.

Chicago's not a bad opener, as well as Dallas and Philly in Primetime. The final 3 divisional games could ne good for jockeying positions.

It also means that our playoff chances will most likely be determined in the last three weeks, unless we just completely fall apart before then. I like the idea of going into December with our destiny in our own hands!

New Years Day with the Mummers Day Parade.
Is Gibbs going to lead the strut down Two Street?

They usually end up shifting some of the start times around for various reasons, though, right? I'm sure some of those will be pushed later in the day.

Wow, what a schedule! We better get our offense clicking fast this year and our defense better start where the left off.

I love the last two games of the year. The Cowboys Christmas Eve and the Eagles New Year's Day. A great way to end the NFL season and lead into the NCAA Bowl games. It’s no wonder I love the Christmas holiday season so much.

I hope history is on our side, Gibbs always took the Skins to the playoffs following a bad season

I hate the week 3 bye. That is too early for my taste. We've been lucky the last few years with our bye falling around mid-season. I am glad that we are starting off with a patsy (Da Bears), so we can get that winning attitude before going into the no-roof dome to whip the 'Pies.

It is as tough a schedule. It is a true test of our progress or lack therof.

The bye week I hate as well - its right in the middle of when I am in the US/Canada

Looks like if I make a game at all it will have to be the Seahawks

Easy schedule. Only complaint I have is the early bye...what a useless time to have a bye week.

I don't know why people are saying we have a harsh schedule. It seemed pretty simple to me, actually. The only thing that blows is that we have the bye week so early. I think we should manage to have a good season.

Come on offfense! Gain some yards, catch some passes, score some touchdowns!!

I think the schedule looks pretty good. If they can get past the AFC West teams they should be ok. Even thou the AFC West had maybe a down year last year, at the Chiefs and at the Broncos is not a easy task. Especaially at the begining of the year.

Dallas on MNF - Hmmm don't they always raise their game and we play like we expect to lose. Can I stand another year getting smacked by that team...I can only call the 'The' now cos eveything else about the blue and silver makes me feel ill...COME ON BEAT THESE GUYS...of course this means that I will watch that one at about 1am in the morning kickoff!

Week 3 bye NOOOOOO I hate byes that early.

Enough complaining with Gregg's boys and an just a slightly better offense there will be happy drunks on both sides of the pond
