2011-2012 Schedule

[PACardsFan]

We win our last 5 & finish @ 10-6!!!!!! Just taking Scud out means at least 4 more W's. I get to see 3 games this year......Wash., Baltimore & Philly. Psyched!!!

I really don't see the '85 Bears D taking the field in red this year. Luv the enthusiasm but this team barely won 10 games with a HOF QB leading a veteran roster!!!

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Brutal...

3 early games on ET...

 

[RugbyMuffin]

With Kurt Warner at QB we could go 10 - 6 with this schedule!!!!

Easily.

That is a very weak schedule, but our team is so poor, we will be lucky to see 4 wins.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

1-15...Andrew Luck

If that happens...maybe he'd stay in school again.

What idiot made this schedule? It's bad enough to have 3 road games on the road but, including the week before, we go from Phoenix, to Philly, to SF, to STL. Not to mention that in a 5 game stretch we get to travel to Baltimore. My God, if we win 2 of those games it will be a miracle.

 

[HoodieBets]

I fully doubt the season starts on time so those first few "easy" games are worthless. Too bad we are taking Blaine so when we win 2 games and have the first pick theres no way we can draft luck.

It's just not the Cardinals, look at the Rams schedule. Seattle even has to travel a lot.

 

[Garthshort]

NFL is hoping first game will be Newton vs. Gabbert.

 

[MrYeahBut]

Dang man. Second year in a row the Cards aren't home at Thanksgiving. That's when I usually spend the week in Phx...bummer

 

[Buckybird]

If that happens...maybe he'd stay in school again.

We've already been screwed by Namath...it can't happen again can it? We are the Cardinals though!!!

Last game of the season vs. Hawks with 25,000 fans witnessing...I can see Max Hall scrambling for his life & throwing a last second TD pass to Max Komar to win us game #2 to keep us from getting Luck.

 

[English on tour]

Lets just hope the season doesnt start until week 14....talk about being humped

 

[Duckjake]

No home game the same weekend as the NASCAR Race, November 13th. It's about time.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Look at brightside. If the Cards are in it, they have 4 of 5 at home down the stretch with the only roadie at Cincy.

 

[JeffGollin]

Take a deep breath. OK? Now take a second look at the schedule and put it in some sort of perspective.

Regarding the 3-game road stretch - It's matched by three straight weeks at home.

Regarding flight-miles - If you play an East Coast team away, you have to fly a long distance regardless of when. Philly is a long flight, but the following trip to SF isn't very far and StL is smack dab in the midwest (It's not London for cripes sake)!

Our only likely snow game is Christmas Eve in Cincy (with 11/13 in Philly and 11/20 in SF outside possibilities for funky weather).

Not being on SNF, MNF or ThNF - though a blow to the ego - might be a blessing in disguise (no overly short or long workweeks within the framework of a young team trying to cope with early lockout dislocation).

And we could just as easily closed out our season with a potentially "must game" vs. Seattle "on the road" instead of at home.

Regarding strength of schedule - All NFC West teams play 6 games within the division and 8 games against the same teams in the AFC North and NFC East. That leaves 2 "unique" games -

- Seattle draws Atlanta and Chicago.
- Niners draw Tampa Bay and Detroit.
- Rams draw Green Bay and New Orleans.
- We draw the Vikes and Baltimore.

So-o-o: Looking at the schedule umpteen different ways - I just don't see how we got "humped" or that the schedule was somehow created "by an idiot.""

I think you mean the Vikes and Carolina as all NFC West teams play the AFC North this year.

 

[earthsci]

Isn't the Fiesta Bowl going to be pissed about a Jan. 1 home game?

:edit: Probably not, the Fiesta Bowl is Jan. 4 this year.

 

[Stout]

I'm glad to have Carolina at home for the 1st game. They're probably the only team in worse shape than we are right now

Well its nice to see a positive spin on it anyway. I take your point re the SNF and MNF games, it will help the team if not the Franchise. However, there is no way on earth i can put a positive spin on 3 road games off the bounce. It will just kill a fragile team like ours. Yep, if we hang in we have a decent end stretch but will be still be kicking when we get there?

Home openener is good though...so i will downgrade to semi-humped for you

One of the 2 wins I see.

I really think 4-12 is coming again. Maybe 3-13

 

[mjb21aztd]

not bad atleast we open up at home this year, just please we need to beat the panthers hopefully we have a decent qb by than and not a rookie.... starting. That 3 game away is a hard stretch though, I don't look much into schedules anyways always a surprise team everyear.
