A couple rough games in there (Chiefs, Cowboys) but there are some weaker teams on the schedule as well.
I offered the following thoughts elsewhere when it became official that the Jaguars at Lions would be the extra game for the 2022 season:
In the 2022 season, the NFC teams will have an extra home game.
Being that every team will be playing an overseas game during the 8 season period for 2021 to 2028, it would make sense for the Lions to host the Jaguars in London, England in the 2022 season. With the game being the first of two consecutive in London for the Jaguars, The second being a Jaguars home game, which they voluntarily play in London each season. The Jaguars want to play more than one game in London each season. This way, they would only be giving up one home game in Jacksonville.
With the Lions scheduled to host the Jaguars in the 2024 season, playing next season's game in London would benefit both teams. I'm hoping the Lions are much further along in the re-building process in 2024. The 2022 season is the best time for the Lions to play a home game overseas. The Lions would still have 8 regular season games in Detroit.
Schedule is tough on paper right now. Free agency, drafts and surviving training camp, preseason and games leading up to our match-ups will obviously change the degree difficulty from time to time.
But, on paper? NFC East and AFC West? Interesting three game odd conference games though. Jets again? Ravens? Lions? Those are hit or miss for me. Brutal though. I would be happy and surprised if they managed 6 - 8 wins next season.
Is the Denver game in London?
So many times "next year's schedule" looks daunting. A veritable gauntlet. Then those up team fall down and those down teams rise up. You never know.
Nfc east has two play offs teams and the afc west has 2 also with the chargers just missing and the Broncos could be better with a better qb. Like a previous person said, no one knows what teams will actually be up or down with the exception of the same teams that are always in the mix
Home games - Cowboys, Giants, Ravens and Broncos ? Nice...I know one will be in London,,,,

6-8 wins is what we say every year. I’m to the point where I don’t want to be picking 1st overall for the 3rd year in a row.
as long as Shad Khan is the owner a bunch of losers could beat the jags in football, except maybe in London. it could go either way in London. Jags are 4-4 overall there. the last part is just a fact.
I looked it up. The jags have played a total of 8 games in london over the years. thier overall record is 4-4. just stateing a fact.

Think about the time you took to post this message and the time you've spent posting similar messages in other threads. Now think about how you'll never be able to get that time back. You resurrected a thread with no new posts in nearly two weeks to post ^--
that.
Seriously wolfie, you're better than these awful posts. Quit spraying threads like some feral cat marking their scent everywhere they go. Like their spray, it stinks.
I'm surprised. The 2022 schedule looks easier than the 2021 one did going into the season.
Giants/Commies/Eagles are all wishy washy teams that could be mediocre to bad. Dallas seems to underperform consistently, and it is not a sure bet the defense will match its play to end last season. That is an easier division than what the AFC East looked like going into the season. Sure AFC West is tough division, but no tougher than the NFC West was this past year.
Also, they won 3 games with one of the worst NFL coaching situation/room ever under Urban Meyer and their over-his-head interim coach. If T-Law is anything close to what the media and Jags fans want to think he is, this team has to win 6 games next year with a schedule that includes Houston twice, Jets, Lions, Giants, and Commies.
I hope it's better than 6. Way too early to speculate. We need a good draft and freegancy.

I agree but in the the eyes of the Jags, everything looks daunting, regardless of who we play. Heck, they could add Vanderbilt to our schedule and it would look tough to us.
As the years go by, now in my 15th or 16th year being a die hard jaguars fan I can say this with confidence.
The schedule means absolutely nothing. If we're good we will win games, if we still suck (which seems to be the only constant for us) we will lose games. If anything i'd prefer a tougher schedule at this point. You don't get any better by beating the scrubs.

When you've been the worst team in the NFL for the past 2 years and the worst team in the NFL over the past decade, you actually do get better by beating scrubs.

That's how parity is supposed to work. The teams themselves on the schedule aren't the big deal; it's the challenge of traveling to the west coast for a midweek matchup, or three straight on the road or back to back games against division leaders, that's where the pretenders are separated from the contenders.
To a certain extent we do have a favorable hitch in each schedule - the WLOCP and London usually tie in to create a two-week minimum away from home, which affords us some other consecutive home games on the schedule.
The structure of the schedule is a lot more important than who we play one week to the next.
I don't really pay any attention to S.o.S. until Halloween.
I mean - it's fun to speculate, but...
Every single year there are 3 or 4 teams that were supposed to be contenders that have injuries or various unforeseen struggles and aren't really in it by midseason.
On the flip side, there are usually 2 or 3 teams that outperform everyone's expectations.
Add in general parity ( Jags vs Buffalo in '21) and you just can't put much stock in analyzing schedules IMO.
The only part of the schedule that is different that that of our AFC South competition is our 3 opponents in the AFC East, AFC North, and NFC North. Otherwise, it doesn't really make a difference.

It's all personal opinion.. but I think 2017 is a good example of that. While, yeah our team was much more talented than it is now, we played one of the softest schedules I've ever seen with a combination of bad teams, and backup QBs. 2018 came around and that exact same team with no subtractions went 5-11 against a tougher schedule.
