My favorite part of the schedule, is that we play both Cleveland and Pittsburgh away.

 

I live just north of Pittsburgh, so it looks like I'll be going to TWO games this year!

<p style="text-align:center;">But that same man can get lost in the sauce."

Looks like an easy schedule.  Note that our other AFC opponents are the last place Jets and Chargers.  Houston has to play KC and the Pats, 2 playoff teams.  Tennessee plays Oakland and Miami, 2 playoff teams.  Indy plays Buffalo and Denver.

Here are our opponents next year:

 

vs. Seattle

vs. LA Rams

@ Niners

@Cardinals

vs. Bengals

vs. Ravens (London)

@ Steelers

@ Browns

vs. Jets

vs. LA Chargers

Texans x2

Titans x2

Colts x2

 

This will be the fifth year in a row we've played the Chargers and our daddy Philip Rivers. Anyway this shouldn't be a hard schedule.

 

49ers

Rams

Browns

Jets 

Chargers 

Texans x2

Titans x2

Colts x2

Cardinals (with a 58 year old QB)

 

I'm seeing 8 wins simply by eliminating Gus from the equation.

This presents a real opportunity, however things change a lot season by season.  At first look, I like it.  It's up to you Blake!  Time to start busting your [BLEEP] this offseason, last chance buddy.

While I believe it's going to take everything this team can muster in order to sneak into the 2017 Playoffs, I don't think we could have possibly asked for a better schedule. While it typically takes time for a new HC to start winning, we need to take advantage of this season. We really could use someone who truly knows this game and the intricacies of.being a head coach...someone like Mike Smith.


 

Thinking longterm I'm intrigued by the young Shanahan, but I get the feeling he'd need half a season to figure out what it takes to win games. Any rookie HC for that matter will likely require as much.
