depends of what makes an easy/difficult schedule in ones eyes. 4 trips out to the west coast will NOT be easy for them.

Schedule not out yet but the list of teams they play are based on a rotation, based on where each team finishes within the division. I'm sure they will have three Monday Night games, a couple of Sunday nighters too. Factor in injuries and this may be harder than people think.

Home games
Bills
Broncos
Cardinals
Chiefs
Dolphins
Jets
Rams
Steelers
Road games
Bills
Chargers
Colts
Dolphins
49ers
Jets
Raiders
Seahawks

Trips out west are meaningless. These guys fly on private jets and have a week between games. You work every day and fly commercial and one trip every 4 weeks doesnt kill ya...

That being said, having SD, Indy, Pitt, on the schedule doesnt make it too easy..

Shouldn't Indy be coming to NE this time around? Didn't NE play Pitt in NE this year? I would think it would flip...

got that standard 6pack the Jets/Bills/Fins

The above is obviously the reason they have the easiest schedule based on 2007 win percentages and unlike their divisional foes, they don't have to play a team that went 16-0 twice.

Could be two in three weeks like Seattle faced this year. Throw a tough home game in the middle and it toughens up.

was it coincidence that the nfl gave miami and new york the week off after their matchup this season?

bottom line is its one of many variables that have an impact on performance. but its a bigger one than most.

Too bad they dont play the Saints. Would be great to break there 25 game winning streak.

Right Side - Seattle has one of the top-3 homefield advantages in the NFL.

I understand FW. But NE at that point in 2008 might be 25-0 or so at that point. I realy don't think they will be all that worried.


Hasselback sucks
Alexander in finished

They thought it was a good idea to lose the best gaurd (Hutchinson)in the game for a 3rd rate wr (Burlison)
They lose players every year.
