I'm not usually one to complain about schedules, because we won't truly know until the season is finished, but this is awful.
Regardless, im not expecting the 49ers to make a deep playoff run this year.
Admittedly I'm on vacation and didn't study the schedule, but I really doubt our schedule difficulty vs other teams will have a major bearing one way or the other. Seems like we caught some breaks here and have some bad stretches there, but ultimately we're the 2nd best NFC team and probably a top 5 team overall. Which is where we were before the draft.
We've made the NFCCG last two years, and I'd say our team at a minimum is as good if not better. So I disagree with your comment.
Hope I'm wrong.it's just how I feel right now, there's plenty of time until the season starts.
We never know how hard a schedule is until the season is being played out.
i don't like how we have so many home/away games back to back. I don't like how many teams have their bye before playing us. We are playing some good teams this year and a lot of up n coming teams. It'll be a tough schedule but we are good enough.
i do like that our CLE & MIN are back to back so we can stay in Youngstown to mitigate miles traveled.
we also play a lot of prime time games, which is good for keeping the team focused and motivated. We will see - if we can finish 13-4 or 14-3, then we have a real chance at the 1 seed.
let's see who Purdys first loss is to (regular season)! Should do a pool on that. Dun dun dunnn
