2004 NFL Schedule released

[Preds]

Anyone have thoughts on the new schedule? Some interesting bye week groupings, particularly week 3 which has both of last years Super Bowl contenders off (NE & Carolina) and 2 other AFC East teams (Buffalo & NY Jets).

I still don't understand why the NFL just doesn't give 1 division off each week. It'd be SO much easier.

Open date: Chicago, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Philadelphia

Are freaking kidding me?!?!? All 3 of my RBs off in the same week?
The same thing happened 2 years ago when I had 4 WRs with the same bye week!

Such bad planning on your part...................





































I know I know, i'm just giving you a hard time. :angel

[Liquid Swords]

Good thing I decided to go after Joe Horn instead of Eddie George in RFA...had I gone with George, my RBs would have all had a bye the same week. Sorry you had to receive that bad luck though Undead...hopefully I play you that week.

ughhh, I'm not much better off week 8 with all 3 of my QB's off (Garcia, Brooks, and Johnson)!

At least all my RB's and WR's have different byes... think I may need to talk trade on one of my QB's... damn, I really liked them as a threesome too.

SHIT! :drinktoge

[Mutts]

I love it! Favre and TO both with 3 MNF games!
