First off, that I'm expected to "evaluate" or "analyze" the schedule is proof that some of us need lives. My thoughts on Randy Moss' return to Oakland...what if he doesn't play? I have no idea who will be good, bad or dysfunctional this season.
1. Thankfully, I won't be in Buffalo in November. Have fun out there with the Niners, Barrows.
2. Of course the Monday Night opener is followed by a road game. At least it's not on the East coast. They'll be in Kansas City.
3. Two prime-time games after a 4-12 season. Not bad.
4. Three division games in the first four weeks. That could go a long way to determining if the Raiders can make the playoffs.
5. Tampa Bay in December. Nevermind the Gruden angle or Lane Kiffin's offense against his dad's defense. It's Tampa in December. There's nothing wrong with that (except getting back to Cali in time for the final press conference of the season).
I've already thought way too much about this.
