Patriots have the easiest schedule in recent memory.Herrdoktor

Looks like they can possibly go undefeated for two straight seasons. With the way the team is playing, I doubt anyone would leave. Most players leave so they can join a championship contender. They can probably pick up some key players this offseason aswell and have a better team than this season.

that is some BS the NFL needs to get the Colts over to Foxboro, what the hell we beat them this year at their home, now the Colts need to come to our home! WTF!freediro

I feel the exact same way as well, the Patriots earned the right to have a home game againist the Colts in the playoffs and the Colts failed to deliver and they pulled up lame and did not hold up to their end of the bargain and now the NFL schedules the game where Indianapolis plays, screw that BS

this is highway robbery, after New England earned the right to play the Colts at home in the playoffs and the Colts choked and failed to deliver, the Colts get to play the regular season at their Staduim again and that is a F***ING joke after New England earned the right to play a home game again againist them

Whoever make this schedule deserves to be shoot

Well I doubt the Panthers will go 2-6 at home next season, just like the Giants will likely not go 7-1 on the road next season.

Well its an easy schedule but there are still a lot of tough teams on that schedule, in todays day and age no one has an 'easy' schedule! I highly doubt the Pats will go 16-0 they might win their first 5-7 but i dont see them goign 16-0 again.

also if Moss retires (which i doubt), and Seau and Bruschi retires (we all know how old they are) that would be a big hit to the offense and the defense!

New England earned the right to have a home game againist the Colts for the playoffs, but the Colts took the low road and yet the NFL rewards the Colts for that and that is beyond me

well unless the NFC south curse will be broken than the bucs will have a winning season, but in case u havent noticed the bucs do good one year and suck the next, it all started in 2002 when they won the superbowl, then the next seaon in 2003 they got the title as "worst superbowl defending champs of all time" then the next season it got even worse, then caddilac came in 2005 and bucs went 11-5-0 then in 2006 they sucked again, then in 07 they did OK but now im thinking the pattern will repeat in 2008 and panthers will be NFC south champs....but who knows.....

This could be a great year for San Diego. AFC East, NFC South and AFC West. Looking at this year, those are three of the worst divisions in the NFL.

Home:Denver,WIN Kansas City, WIN Oakland WIN, New England,LOSS N.Y. Jets WIN, Atlanta WIN, Carolina WIN, IndianapolisLOSS (the streak has to end some time, but it is at home though)
Away:DenverWIN, Kansas CityWIN, OaklandWIN, Buffalo WIN, Miami WIN, New Orleans UNSURE, but WIN, Tampa Bay WIN, Pittsburgh WIN

maybe I'm giving them a bit too much, but this could be a great year for the Chargers. honestly, that's probably one of the easiest schedules they've had in recent years.

Well I'd just like to throw this out: I'd like to watch what should be a beautiful Lucas Oil Stadium on National TV. I may get a chance to visit it live, if I make it to marching band nationals next year.

Also, no NFC South Champion has repeated, I've found that odd, that has to end at some point.

Detroit Lions
Home:Chicago, G.B., Minnesota, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Washington
Away:Chicago, G.B., Minnesota, Atlanta, Carolina, Houston, Indianapolis, San Francisco

Just my 2 cents... Also, Brett Favre throws 600 yards combined.
