I'm not going to predict wins until the end of the preseason and I know every piece we will have from the draft and who is healthy, but in looking at the schedule I have the following observations:
The Good:
The Bengals get the Texans early in the season, with what is sure to be an inexperienced QB at the helm. I hope they don't play off coverage against this one like they did Denver last year. Regardless, I like the idea of them traveling on a short week and not really being in a groove offensively at that point.
Even though you might cite Marv's record coming off the bye, I like the extra time before the steeler game.
Some will call it a recipe for disaster, but the MNF game against pittsburg at home is going to be fun.
The Bad:
I don't like three straight road games in November, finishing in Denver. That just sucks.
I would prefer they bye week a little later in the season to gear up for a playoff run.
Kind of sick of opening or closing against the ratbirds.
The Ugly:
If Week 2's Thursday Night Game is a "Color Rush", it will look pretty gross if we are orange and the Texans are red.
