Schedule looks tough as hell... BUT we'll have Young and Humphrey. 2nd year guys hopefully raising their play(looking at you Bowser and Williams) and a new arsenal on offense to play with.

I think our team will look really good entering next year.

To add to that, every team that looks good this year, won’t be good next year. Teams will rise and fall

Honestly I'm more afraid of the AFC South than AFC West next year and of the teams we could face I think we got least dangerous (assuming Luck returns though it is close bt them and Titans).

What's oddest is I think I would pick Ravens in all 8 home games but MAYBE 3 of the road games.

AFC West - 2 of these teams successes all depend on how they manage the QB situation in the offseason. If Elway tries to make Kirk Cousins his next big money QB FA, do they move up and go after a QB and attempt to save Rosen from Cleveland by trading to 1 with Cleveland? Do the Chiefs still start Alex Smith or they move on to Mahomes? I expect Oakland to bounce back if they fire Del Rio, and the Chargers should be right there again.

NFC South - At least I won't have to travel far to go to a game next year. Living right outside of Charlotte, it will be an easy trip to the Panthers game. Should be very interesting, reigniting the Flacco/Ryan debate when we play Atlanta. New Orleans will be very interesting, Brees is a FA after this year so do the Saints tag him and work out a new deal in order to keep him a Saint for life? Tampa will be interesting, see what they do with the high picks they get in the draft.

Tennessee, Buffalo: Tennessee should get better next year but we'll see based on the fact we thought they would this year. The Bills will bench whoever their starter is for Nathan Peterman and our secondary eats up interceptions all day. Meaning at the end of 2018 we keep Buffalo out of the playoffs like the Chargers did. :D

Yep, since the Packers aren’t on the schedule, we have a great opportunity to go 16-0.

The AFC South will be tough, but at least we play the Saints at home. If we actually draft/sign some better offensive players this year then I think we'll be okay.

Obviously the NFC East would be ideal division to face (the Giants will still be down, Skins,probably below average and the Cowboys are a walking pile of mediocrity), but I still think I would rather have South then North or West.

Honestly that's very similar to how I feel about AFCWest as well. Rather it be east for the free wins but the AFC South is looking dangerous next year so I'm glad we dodged that.

NFC south looks like the ultimate worst division to play against - quite clearly the best division in football this year overall and probably will be damn good next year because it has the best qb play in any division: brees, ryan, newton and winston is pretty imposing (albeit the west will be up next year with goff, wilson, garropolo)

Seriously. This schedule terrifies me tbh. Ozzie’s unwillingness to help out the offense in the most recent offseason worries me. If he doesn’t address the offense this offseason he needs to be fired. I could see us beating denver, Cleveland(even with a rookie), Tampa Bay, Cinci(once) but honestly that’s it.

That said. We could pull out some wins against the other teams with the defense. If players continue to develop and we get our injured players back then we should be able to limit a few of those teams.

Especially with this schedule our needs still are

LG
WR
TE
CB
MLB.

That’s actually doable in an offseason
