It looks a bit more manageable than that. And I agree that the Jags definitely need to try and get as many wins as they can during the early part of the schedule. Collect whatever wins they can before they get to the bye at the halfway point. They definitely don't need to be going into the bye with a lot of losses, especially with the toughest stretch coming afterwards.

Another view of the schedule with dates and times from the Jags Twitter account:

I disagree.

This would be a tough schedule even if we were a contending team.

The one thing that keeps thif from being a complete murderers row is the winnable games are early on-a young Miami team at home on a short week...Detroit at home.

But I see very few even matchups-much less favorable ones-after the bye.

One thing in particular that stands out about the Lions-Jaguars game scheduled for October 18 is the Lions have a bye the previous week.  Time will tell if that proves significant in the game.  Yet, there's no question that having the previous week off, before going to Jacksonville in mid October for a 1pm game, is favorable for a road team.....compared to playing the previous week.
