A rite of spring.

Hey, San Francisco gets three Monday night games! San Francisco must be considered a contendah if they're giving us so much prime time. Way to go boys!

YESS!!!!
Several friends of mine and I are planning to be at one of the Dallas games next season, and hoping to time it so that we are there WHEN Emmitt breaks the NFL record.
Maybe the Seattle game??
It would be perfect if it happened against the Redskins on Thanksgiving day, but I am hoping it happens sooner!!!

Oh how the mighty have fallen! No Monday night appearances for the Vikes and only one Sunday night ESPN game! Its gonna be a long season!

I keep forgetting that Seattle is now a NFC West team. The good news is we get to see Kurt Warner & Garcia twice a year, the bad news is, we get to see the Rams & 49ers twice a year.

MDB - the even better news for your team is you also now get the hapless Aridzona Cardinals twice a year as part of the redone NFC West (although Jake the Snake is aging well)........

BTW, the Chargers, as part of their non-division schedule, play Seattle and each of the other teams in the NFC West, and also play each team in the AFC East. This means that in Week 12, new starting QB Drew Brees will be playing in Joe Robbie Stadium!!!

Also BTW notice that all of the bye weeks will be comleted by Week 10.....

Yeah, I forgot about Jake the Snake & the hapless Cardinals And I guess you can add SD moving to the AFC as bad news because it will give us only one oppportunity to view Flutie & Brees

Already planning a trip to San Diego to see New England at Chargers.

FIVE full-national telecasts for the Eagles--3 Monday nights, plus a Saturday night and a Saturday afternoon in December. When you're hot...

Hapless Cardinals? They'll probably be my pick to win the NFC West next year.

As long as Bill Bidwell is around, I'm afraid the Cardinal's chances are pretty much "for the birds".....

Wurm, I agree with you about the Arizona Cardinals. How poetic that they're in the same division now as the SAINT LOUIS RAMS!!! Oh, I and other St. Louis fans can only hope for years of futility for Bidwill's sorry birds...and they get to face Seattle and San Francisco too.

What a strange schedule the Rams have. The realignment and toughness-of-schedule means they will have little let-up all season. They have to face Denver, Oakland, Chicago, the entire NFC East (Giants, Dallas, Eagles, and Washington), and even KC, which wasn't that bad last year. Tampa Bay looks to be the one break they get outside their division. Yikes! Martz had better have this engine running on all cylinders ALL year long--no more Atlanta and Carolina to run over and pile up points.

Is New England's schedule this tough?

Meanwhile, the Eagles' 2002 prospects are already being run down .....

Joe in Philly Has an Airtight Alibi

Peter King thinks the Patriots' schedule is the toughest of any team in many years.

The Rams get a break with Tampa? Hmmm. Haven't the Rams lost to the Bucs twice in the last two seasons, both on national television and once being at home?

That guy wasn't going to make the team anyway. He wants to play QB but doesn't have a wing and a prayer.

Are you serious about the Cards, Cyd? Winning and Cardinals rarely come together. Granted, the NFC West will probably be one of the toughest divisions in the new realigned NFL.
