11/6 @ Buffalo Bills 1:00 pm

11/13  New England Patriots  8:20 p.m. (Sunday night football)

11/17 @ Denver Broncos  8: 20 p.m.  (Thursday night)

11/27 Buffalo Bills 1:00 p.m.

12/4 @ Washington Redskins 1:00 p.m.

12/11 Kansas City Chiefs 1:00 p.m.

12/18 @ Philadelphia Eagles 4:15 p.m.

12/24 New York Giants 1:00 p.m.

1/1  @ Miami Dolphins 1:00 p.m.

After a quick glance a couple of observations:

1) I think the NFL did a terrible job with the week one match-up.  On the 10th anniversary of 9/11 a game against the Giants seems to be more fitting.

2) Jets vs. Giants on Christmas eve?  A battle for bragging rights on a day when fans will have a very difficult time getting to the stadium?

3) Sunday night followed by a Thursday night? A tough night game against the Patriots to then fly out to Denver for a Thursday night game? Crazy.

4) Tough 4 game stretch-  Ravens, Patriots, Dolphins, Chargers
