What an odd damn schedule.

4 Thursday games. Two SNF games (both at home fortunately). Two MNF football games (in a row, separated by the bye week) and then a gauntlet of strong teams with the Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, Vikings, Chargers and Washington in a 6 week span starting Thanksgiving.

So.... dbair... Esteemed new owner of the site.... This Skattebo deal... Do you think Jimmy makes room for this cat like he did for The Moose? Of which he encountered as his Hurricanes played the Orangemen?

The DANGEROUS guys are obvious. We're stupid to pass on this guy.

Yeah, he'll have a short career. A short but violent career.

Wait -- did the Moose play longer than Emmitt?

It's in both of Jimmy's books... Drafted the Moose to guarantee we don't have to put up with him. One less pest.

Skattebo is and is gonna be a pest. We let him go to the Gnats. Gnats are a pest. My coaches used to call me a gnat while pulling me out of practice to fuckin run laps -- they couldn't run their offense with me on the D. But it never occurred to them I might cause real opponents same problems.

I know a gnat when I see one.

Screwed & Not Screwed lol....these writers are too funny!​

​

SCREWED: Detroit Lions
Sorry, but forcing a team to play on both Thanksgiving AND Christmas Day is just cruel. The Lions are also being subjected to back-to-back games on Thursday Night Football in Weeks 13 and 14.

SCREWED: New York Giants
The Giants are really trying to get 2025 off on the right foot and the NFL schedule makers gave them absolutely no favors. The first six weeks to the season are more brutal than anyone else in the league, and it’s bad enough that the schedule could legitimately sink the Giants’ season before it ever begins.

Week 1: Commanders
  • Week 2: Cowboys
  • Week 3: Chiefs
  • Week 4: Chargers
  • Week 5: Saints
  • Week 6: Eagles
The only obvious winnable game of the lot is against New Orleans. Dallas is a push, but possible. There is a very real chance that New York could be 1-5 by the end of Week 6 and it might be enough to see heads roll.

SCREWED: Kansas City Chiefs
I hate this schedule for the Chiefs. It’s another case of a good team being given a rough run, but their leadup to the bye week in 2025 is just brutal. KC gets a favorable Week 10 bye, but these are the teams they have to face to get to the rest week.

  • Eagles
  • Ravens
  • Lions
  • Commanders
  • Bills
That is a brutal slate close together to open the season. Factor in that the Chiefs have to open the season in Brazil in a divisional game, then also play on Christmas Day and it’s just a rough slate to deal with.

NOT SCREWED: Philadelphia Eagles
Not really sure how the Super Bowl champs pulled this one off. Philadelphia is one of the few teams not to have multiple divisional games to kick off the season. They face Dallas in the season opener, then don’t need to worry about the NFC East until Week 6 against the Giants.

This will allow the Eagles to get into the groove of the season without too much to worry about when it comes to shock games. Outside of that Philadelphia doesn’t need to worry about a ton of long travel, they get their toughest opponents at home, and seem set up perfectly to be able to make another playoff run.

NOT SCREWED: Minnesota Vikings
I know it’s tempting to look at those back-to-back games in Ireland and London and think that’s a terrible thing, but honestly this schedule is FANTASTIC for the Vikings. The team gets a beneficial bye week in Week 6 after the travel, and while that might be a touch early — it’s important to remember that those two games in Europe are both defacto away games.

That means the Vikings only really have seven away games this season, and their out-of-division away games are against the Chargers, Seahawks, Cowboys and Giants. It could be infinitely worse and gives Minnesota pretty soft lineup this year when it comes to being comfortable.

3 teams who were absolutely screwed by the NFL schedule, and 3 who weren’t

Some teams got royally screwed by the schedule this year.

Their schedule looks like a conveyor belt of cupcakes. Easiest one in the league by far. They'll have Caffey back. Better chemistry in the WR room. Still a fantastic coach and staff. Don't sleep on 'em.
