I think most fan bases are complaining about schedule when they are released.

 

 

For us three things mostly:

 

1. just one home primetime game - season opener against Packers. We were too dominant at home in primetime games over the last two seasons and this doesn't help TV ratings, so instead we play this year on the road against Redskins (RG3 vs Wilson) and divisional games against 49ers and Cardinals. We will probably get another home primetime game flexed in the later part of the season (maybe in week 15 against 49ers).

 

2. bye week already in week 4 - we could use it later in the season but it is what it is

 

3. two games against SF in 17 days (TNF on Thanksgiving and then at home in Week 15)

 

Other than the last one, I personally don't have any problem with our schedule. It's not easy, but I have already know that before. I just don't like two games against the same opponent in such a short time. And those two games could decide about NFC West champions. What if Wilson and/or Kaepernick get injured in first game and miss the second? (I won't mention other key players injuries, because injuries happen all the time and I believe both teams have good enough depth to get over most of it). I think league should think about that.
