That schedule is ridiculous. Five games in six weeks on the road with travel to Denver, Mexico City, and Miami involved? And 5/6 division games right at the end? And all of our games against the NFC South in a six week stretch at the beginning of the season? How hard would it have been to space this stuff out?

Week 10 to 15 is going to be as tough a six-week grind as I can ever remember the Patriots playing, and it's not like the first half is a piece of cake either.

Mexico City and Denver is a good thing. It takes about two weeks at altitude to fully adjust. That's a great head start.

If fully true, this is at least good news for people actually going to games, weather wise (5 games before November) and by time of day (1pm sure beats 8:30 when you have to work the next day)

The NFL was apparently sick of the AFC East getting clinched by Thanksgiving every year. Not playing any division games for like 10 weeks is a nice way to slow things down.

Seven home Sunday@1 games for the Jets. Sweet if you're a season ticket holder, except for, you know, Jets.
