Can't wait for that Manziel returns to Cleveland story line next year.

As the Cleveland qb of course.....

Then gets traded to Dallas for a 7th round pick in 2017.

Here's hoping Dallas avoids going to Green Bay, Minnesota, or Pittsburgh after October.

I think Minnesota opens their new stadium for the 2016 season, so it should be a dome game

Yeah, I wouldn't exactly call that a weak schedule with those teams on the road late in the year.

6 teams with winning records and those same 6 teams all in the playoffs. Commanders twice of course.
records of 119-137 for a .465 win / loss percentage

At least Minnesota will be in a dome, so it will be early, no way they make it a December game.
6 of 7 outside road games in cold weather cities then and even SF not all that great of a good weather city.

So at least 3 road games in December. One being last game probably at Commanders. Steelers and Packers too in December.
Will be 5 games in December / January, so yes 3 of those will be on the road easily.

Tough call for the T-Day game, but we know it won't be the Lions.
Could be the Browns, for a JF game and drama....hopefully he is still on the Browns...

No matter how Dallas ends up they always seem to play in Lambeau.

it is the rotational formula. GB will play here in 2019

we also will play a NFC North team at home in 2017 & 2018, depending on what place we each finish in the divisions.

This is all based on past schedules, it could change.

I wouldn't trade a football for that clown

Packers of the nineties said the same thing about always playing the Cowboys at Texas Stadium....

Your wrong about SF first the 49ers don't play in San Francisco they play in Santa Clara which is more inland meaning coldest it gets here in Santa Clara in the evenings none the less is 45 degrees and that is abnormal

And playoff seeding.

 

[Chuck 54]

That schedule doesn't look weak to me....only two teams outside of the division are in QB trouble. Every other team has a QB that can beat us.

I call it a weak schedule when you play teams that are still looking.

 

[JoeBoBBY]

I wouldnt call anybody the Dallas Cowboys have to play........................"weak";

its sort of all relative.

 

[sweetness0986]

I do feel like we are always playing in GB, it's almost become guaranteed we play them every year (and in Lambeau).

Cinci, Pitt, Minn and Green Bay look like the toughest games. Hopefully the NFC east will continue to be a mess like this year.

 

[erod]

It's weird. It was the other way in the 90s. Green Bay always came here.
