After week 3 and from what I've seen around the league so far, I'd like to give a very adjustable stab at our 2019 schedule.

Here is a ranking by degree of difficulty for each game (toughest at the top)

Tier 1:

1) at New England (appears to be one of their best teams in years)
2) LA Rams
3) at Philadelphia (assume they'll be healthier late in season..big if)
4) Green Bay (would be #2 if in GB)

Tier 2 This group could get listed in any order.

5) Philadelphia (early, in Dallas, and they are beat up)
6) at Chicago (road vs grt defense, but this could be lower due to their offense)
7) Minnesota (great all-around team, but QB not clicking and IN Dallas)
8) at Detroit (got the mojo going and solid all around)
9) at New Orleans (no Brees, not the same, but in NO)
10) Buffalo (strong defense and much better, but we get them here)

Tier 3
11) at Washington (this was our best win so far)
12) Washington
13) at NYG (the new QB may give them a big spark, still bad D)
14) at NYJ (should be better when QB returns)

Tier 4
15) NYG (were dismal with Eli and no spark, plus was in Dallas)
16) Miami (they are awful, but may win a game eventually)


VERY rough stab at it that will probably change weekly

How would you rank them?

I don't think you need to differentiate between Tier 3 and Tier 4, but this is a pretty good list.

If I'm nitpicking, I'm not putting Philly in that top tier, and I'm still not really sure what Green Bay is.

Yeah, that late season road game at Philly assumes that they have 5-6 inured players back. If so, I'd think that game would be a real challenge.

I really like what Green Bay has done with their defense and run game. Oline is better too. But we have them here. :)

The underachiever so far has been Minnesota. That team is loaded, but the QB (and play-calling) hasn't gotten going

NE could almost be in their own tier this year with how that defense is playing.
That D has given up NO TDs in three games.

Then again, their schedule kind of looks as cake as ours so far.

Exactly the same except switching Vikes and Bears
