I dunno, I kind of had the opposite reaction. I mean, it kind of goes without saying that we'll be playing last year's superbowl teams regardless of our 2-14 record. But at least we're not opening the season on the road against them.. that's something, I think.

Plus, I think we can win 3 out of 4 of the first games before the bye, don't you? Not a stone-cold lock guarantee thing, but I think we can beat the Lions, Browns and Dolphins. Granted, until we prove otherwise, I have to assume we'll get our asses handed to us in Denver, as much as that tears the soul out of me to admit.

Hell, if anything, I think the second half of the season for us is going to be very, very rough:

(winnable games in bold)

I mean.. maybe Minnesota... maybe Green Bay. Maybe. But I think we'll get smoked by everyone else in weeks 10-17.
 
I dunno, I kind of had the opposite reaction.


I was actually referencing the Chiefs schedule... sorry for the miscommunication... Eventually you'll learn to decifer what I meant to say from what I actually say :D



I don't like catching Denver so early on, but it beats playing at Denver in December... What really sucks for us is playing at Miami in September... That freakin humidity is brutal on visiting teams early in the season...
 
First half schedule has some winnable games. Second half is a different story. Dec in Lambeau should be fun. I'm not all that impressed with the Bears, that's definitely a winnable game IMO. Two road games in Florida. Methinks I'll be attending at least one of those. I sat in the end zone at the last Miami-Oak game. The heat was brutal.
 
Finishing the season against Denver, Green Bay (in Lambeau), Indy, Jax (on the road), and SD is doing us no favors. The Raiders would be lucky to win 2 of those games.
 
I have no complaints about that schedule.

If we are going to have an easy stretch, for this team, I'd rather have it early. Young staff, defense, O-line and QB, if they can win some early, maybe build momentum....?
 
Apparently its the second hardest sked out there...

I dunno if thats true or not.
 
I don't like playing Miami in September and I don't like that we've only got back-to-back home games once... but, hey, what do ya do? Play who they put in front of you.
 
I'd rather we play the hard teams, it'll show us what were really made of. Remember the Bucs 2 years ago went 11-5 and only 4 teams they played that year went on to win more than 8 games. They got punked in the 1st rd. And last year they played 7 teams that went to the playoffs and won 5 games

We need to beat the Lions, Browns, Dolphins, Titans, Texans and at least split with the Chiefs

That should put us at 6 wins, maybe a split with Denver and a win agaisnt the Vikings

7-9 or 8-8 wont be bad, if we finish higher than that then its a godd indication of how good we are going to be in a couple of years
 
No National Night games at all.....not that I would excpet that since we stunk it up last year, but we are the Raiders........
 
Piece of cake.

So we gonna go after McFadden with our top three pick next year?
 
Hey what the fucks the problem?

The NFL bumped us to week 5 for our bye

The Days of byes in week 3 are over

Quit bitching :D
 
Only two guaranteed cold weather games and only one scorcher. Looks like we have the highest strength of schedule in the league (tied with the Bills). WTF?? (http://www.theredzone.org/strength.asp) The Colts are #6 and the Bears are #31. Oh well, we'll know what it takes to win for 2008.

Added - I just checked it out. 2007 is the 1st season since MNF began in 1970, not to include a Raiders game on the schedule. Insult injury. Now play mad, boys. Play mad.

Added again - Crap - 1998 and 2004 no MNF. I was looking at prime time games (we had Sunday night games in both years). Still - maybe if we can somehow rate a SNF game late in the season we could keep the streak alive.

My 2008 #1 target? Assuming no trade:

Michael Turner.

I loves me the Oregon runners.

Yvenson Bernard and Johnathan Stewart.

McFadden aint too shabby either.

About time. I honestly feel the league should have taken away the night games last years. You suck 3 years in a row and you should have to prove your good to earn the right to play a night game.
 
Raiders could be 2-1

Somebody forgot to tell the NFL how much they hate the Raiders.

Schedule-release day has annually been the day when many Raider fans have been at their worst.

We got screwed. Another tough road opener. How about those back-to-back road games on the East Coast. Denver has its bye before they play us. They made us open in New England.

On and on and on.

That whole Patriots scenario in 2005 is the one that really got me. They had to play the Patriots on the road, anyway, based on where they finished and where New England finished in the scheduling formula.

They got the Patriots at the perfect time, were playing their first game with Randy Moss, LaMont Jordan and Derrick Burgess, and got the gift of a prime time opener against the defending champs.

Yet Al Davis complained about it. Norv Turner rolled his eyes.

Instead of looking at it as an opportunity, the Raiders viewed it as a penalty.

They lost, of course.

That was only the worst example. Complaining about the schedule has been an unappealing annual event in Raiderland, the one time of year when a fan base which prides itself in taking on the world suddenly gets all worked up over the quality of opposition.

Not so in 2007. You wanted to get Lane Kiffin off on the right foot? How about opening at home against the 3-13 Detroit Lions. And getting the 3-13 Cleveland Browns in Oakland in Week 3.

If Kiffin even moderately upgrades the Oakland offense, the Raiders should be 2-1 by virtue of their defense.

The Raiders didn't get any night games, and didn't deserve any. If Kiffin's crew shows anything, they could always be flexed to a prime time game on Sunday night. As for the 138-118 record of Oakland's foes, that has more to do with the AFC West than anything sinister.

Taking it week by week:

Sept 9_Detroit

Who will be the Raiders quarterback? Could be current Lions backup Josh McCown.

Sept. 16_at Denver

Cut-blocking Raiders try and beat the Broncos at their own game.

Sept. 23_Cleveland

If Oakland decides on Calvin Johnson at No. 1, JaMarcus Russell could be the quarterback for the Browns.

Sept. 30_at Miami

New Dolphins coach Cam Cameron won't be quite the operator calling plays without LaDainian Tomlinson in the backfield.

Week 5 BYE

Oct. 14_at San Diego

If he's at left tackle, Robert Gallery gets a chance for redemption against Shawne Merriman.

Oct. 21_Kansas City

The Chiefs ran Larry Johnson straight at the Raiders 62 times for 289 yards last season.

Oct. 28_at Tennessee

If Russell is Oakland's No. 1, and getting playing time, it could be the first matchup of Russell vs. Vince Young

Nov. 4_Houston

Texans were here last year, passed for negative net yardage _ and still won.

Nov. 11_Chicago

Tank Johnson had best leave his weapons at home.

Nov. 18_at Minnesota

Can hardly wait for those Randy Moss trade retrospectives about the trade that helped neither team.

Nov. 25_at Kansas City

The last first-year Raiders head coach to win at Arrowhead Stadium was Mike Shanahan in 1988.

Dec. 2_Denver

Raiders have been swept eight times in 12 years by Broncos since returning to Oakland in 1995 _ including the last two seasons.

Dec. 9_at Green Bay

With any luck, it will be Nnamdi Asomugha and Fabian Washington taking turns in man coverage against Moss.

Dec. 16_Indianapolis

If Raiders defense is as good as it thinks it is, Peyton Manning will have his hands full. Or they'll be exposed.

Dec. 23_at Jacksonville

Conspiracy theorists had this one figured as the season opener.

Dec. 30_San Diego

Imagine having a chance to prevent ol' Norv from winning a division title in the season finale.

No breaks for Raiders, Bills
Oakland and Buffalo each face teams that won a combined 53.9% of their games last season.
By Sam Farmer, Times Staff Writer
8:06 PM PDT, April 11, 2007


They're coming off a 2-14 season and have the league's youngest coach, but the Oakland Raiders won't be getting much sympathy from the NFL next season.

The NFL released its 2007 schedule Wednesday, and — based on last season's results — no team has a tougher slate of games than the Raiders. Oakland and Buffalo each face teams that won a combined 53.9% of their games last season.

The league's schedule also features rematches of the conference championship games, with New England at Indianapolis in Week 9, and New Orleans at Chicago in Week 17.

A league-high seven Dallas Cowboys games will be nationally televised, including their traditional Thanksgiving Day game, against the New York Jets.

The San Diego Chargers, who finished 14-2 last season, will be tested early and often. They open at home against Chicago, play New England and Green Bay on the road, play host to Kansas City, then travel to Denver.

As winners of the Super Bowl, the Colts will play host to the season-opening Thursday night game and will play New Orleans. The New York Giants will play at Dallas in the opening Sunday night game, and the Monday night doubleheader features Baltimore at Cincinnati and Arizona at San Francisco.

This marks the second season of flexible scheduling, which allows the league to pick the best games for Sunday night 12 days ahead for the final seven weeks of the season.
