As far as "on paper" opponents go, this is an ideal start to the season.
2nd qtr: vBAL, BYE, @LAR, vJAX, vTEN
This is a deceptively challenging stretch. Really happy to see they have a bye before their longest distance away game.
3rd qtr: vGB, @CLE, @CIN , vARI
Couple of divisional away games sandwiched between out of conference games... Thankfully those away games are both in the 'neighborhood'.
4th qtr: vNE, @IND, @CIN, @SEA, @BAL
Brutal finish with 4 consecutive away games with lots of travel between. If this team digs itself a hole in the first 3 quarters of the season then don't expect an easy path to close out the season.
Wow. Four in a row on the road to end the season and one of those being Seattle in bumfuckegyptland. Not a bad schedule until the final four bend-over.
