2003 NFL Schedule Released

http://www.nfl.com/schedules

Even week 1 looks like it will have some good games. Right off the bat I see Ravens vs. Steelers and Bledsoe, Gash, and Adams battling what's left of the Patriots. Not to mention what should be an excellent Monday Night game with Tampa Bay facing Philadelphia. Forget baseball season!

Three Monday Night Green Bay games makes me happy, and some outstanding out of conference matchups. Tampa Bay, Philly, Oakland, San Francisco, and Seattle at home (gotta love a Holmgren battle in Titletown). A wonderfully difficult but exciting schedule, thank goodness we have two opportunities to exploit Detroit, Minnesota, and Chicago.

Ah, and as icing to the cake, Gbaja-Biamila reupped.

What''s left of the Patriots?!

<annoying Jim Rome voice>
They''ve fallen hard since they won the greatest superbowl of all time..I repeat...of all time!!!! But I suspect by your locale you are a Ravens fan? Talk about living in glass houses. Sheesh! Letting Priest Holmes go did wonders for you.

Other than Ray ""slice em up"" Lewis I can''t think of any other Raven...except their QB who looks like my college roommate.</annoying Jim Rome voice>

I hope the Pats go 14-2, with both losses coming from Buffalo, and our old leader and all around good guy, Drew Bledsoe.

We still love ya Drew!

Oh man the skins have a tough schedule!

Looks like Spurrier is gonna have an even more up hill climb.

In addition to the obligatory Philly games, we also get Miami and Tampa Bay.

How many more playoff teams can we play? Sure the Bills, Pats and Dolphins didnt make it but thats only because they are all in the same division. They are all just as tough as the Jets , whom we also play.

Don''t provoke me.

Hey, asands2, at least you guys get a Monday Night game to open your new stadium out of the deal; Minnesota is going their second full season without a Monday Night appearance.

Oh wow, we have one up on the Vikings. Hooray!

I can feel it, this year we are actually going to beat the Pack on Monday Night. My silver-bullet, take-it-to-Vegas, sure-fire prediction : Bears - 21, Packers - 17. Oh yeah, and Brian Urlacher will have 213 tackles and kill Brett Favre.

Ahh, Fang. I knew you to be a man of talent, intelligence and charm. If there''s something I love more then debate, its the Washington Redskins!!!!

Our 1st game of the season, NY Jets. We just finished raping them for talent in free agency, I think there''re going to have a bone to pick. And thats not even counting the whole Morton arbitration thing going on.

On the plus side, we got an offensive line now. I''d argue that Ramsey is the Jeff George without the attitude, and we really upgraded the recievers. Our D is still really good, too. This is the team I would have loved to have last year.

Besides Philly though, the NFC East is looking good. I mean, even Parcells can''t help Dallas this year Giants aren''t looking really good yet...so keep the faith brother!!!!

I just hope that Dallas becomes as snake bit as we have been for the last 10 years.

You know how many times weve been denied the playoffs because of Dallas double losses?

Grrrr all those 8-8 seasons 9-7 seasons the 8-7-1 season...

I will definitely look into the free agency moves. I have been out of touch recouperating from the loss of Darrel Green. (Yes, i know Smoot and Bailey rock!)

Upgraded receivers is very encouraging.

Ramsey? If he''s Jeff George Im glad he doesnt have the attitude but I hope he doesnt have the interceptions and crumbling under pressure as well.

With a young quarterback, I hope Steven Davis plays a much bigger role.

edit: Oh how Id love to hear Hail to the Redskins at the end of the superbowl in the next few years!

Everybody watch out. The Cardinals got Emmit smith, and some dude who played on the Tampa Bay defence. We will win it all this year, I can feel it! Oh wait no, that is the chilli I had at lunch. Yep, us Cardinal fans will have another year of the sh*ts. At least you Redskin and Cowboy fans will not get the two easy wins that the cardinals represented in the NFC east.

Heh, yeah, I hated losing the Cards. Could always count on those two wins.

Fang, hate to tell ya...Davis left, I think he''s in Denver now.

We got one speedy guy from St. Louis...can''t remember his name, plus the two guys from last year.

Man, you have got to see the rockets Ramsey can throw. He''s got one of the best arms in the league...no joke. He can also take alot of punishment (as was seen last year ) Hopefully by now he''s learned Spurrier''s system inside and out and the new improved O line will give him some time.

You''re right about one thing, its been a long time since we had a good team....I''m keeping my fingers crossed.

I wish Minesota had to play here in December though, instead of first week.
I don''t care if the Packers go 4-12 this year, as long as they beat Minnesota twice and Chicago twice. Oh, and I want to see Randy Moss get absolutely flattened by some safety this year.

I love it. Me too!! I''m such an angry sports fan. I love my teams so much, but sometimes I wonder if I love my teams or just hate everyone else. Who knows!? Who cares!?

Go Pats!

What a vengeful group we have here. I''d expect to see Green Bay bunk out in the first round again, so no worries even if they do beat us twice (which won''t happen).

You know Elysium, I always sensed something a little shifty about you, but only now can I identify it: Packer fan.
