Saw this on ESPN.

BALTIMORE RAVENS

Home: New England, N.Y. Jets, Green Bay, Minnesota and Houston.

Away: Buffalo, Miami, Chicago, Detroit and Denver.

What are your thoughts?

[TreTheRaven]

The Green Bay game has been circled on my calendar the last 2 years.

[JHarris]

Not to hateful. And no West Coast trips. With the exception of Denver,most of what should be the harder games will be at home.

[VA_Fan]

I say we go 8-2 in these games. Only loses go to Denver and Green Bay. But I am never right in these "predictions" of mine so keep that in mind please.

I will agree with THIS statement, but we'll need to see what happens in the offseason to change my mind later. Everyone else... we've had New England's number (and they know it just as much as we do). I don't believe the Jets have beat us the last several times we've played them (even under Rex Ryan, correct me if I'm wrong). Minnesota, "HA!" I say, "HA!".

Green Bay, just keep Rodgers on the sideline. Houston, just have to get TDs and not FGs.

Buffalo, Miami, Chicago and Detroit; not to worried about any of them except maybe Chicago. They have a tendency to bring their A-game every once in awhile. Same could be said for Miami, but as long as we don't let them get TOO out of control we can handle them.

Denver, same as Green Bay, keep Peyton off the field. Once he's on it, send him back as quick as he got on it (and I don't mean with a TD either, DEFENSE!!).

Damn, the Ravens are going to have one of the hardest home game schedules next year! Only gimme game in that bunch would be the Jets game.

[CalvinSmoke]

That's a crazy hard schedule. We will be tested.

[K-Dog]

I am going to the Buffalo game.

I want revenge for that Monday night game the same way I did for the Giants game. Both teams embarrassed us tho last times we met. 1 down with one to go. Wouldn't mind if we were able to get revenge this season either...
Whoever said Minn didn't bother them, AP. I have no idea how our defense will play next year, but now that I think about it, a healthy Suggs, Ngata, McPhee, Ellerbe and McClain should be a boost to our run defense. Year two Upshaw should be a problem as well. Webb back too will help but I wonder how long before he's actually back to normal.

Yeah, that game in Green Bay always sits in the back of my mind. Another one that does, is the 2005 game with Kyle Boller against Brett Favre. I know the Ravens slaughtered them that day, but since that game, this game against Green Bay has more motive for me to attend.

It's kind of job and family related -- so when these two teams bump heads, it becomes pretty interesting in my neck of the woods.

[Bravens292]

i like this schedule for right now but its impossible to determine how favorable it is until we see who goes where this offseason especially us right now.

That's what happens when you win your division. We overcame a lot of speculation about our schedule this year, beating the tougher teams and laying down for "lesser" teams. We will do it again. If our injuries have been anything, they are a blessing in disguise as many of those back-ups could be in starting roles next year. If they play like we know they can now, we'll be division champs three years in a row.

The good thing about this, is that the Steelers will probaly have New England, N.Y. Jets, Green Bay, Minnesota and/or Houston on the road. Now that makes me happy.

[Ravenseconbeast]

Another rough year for the Ravens. Oh well

[Purple Nurple]

That's what happens when you win your division.

Someone correct me if Im wrong. These opponents are pre-determined YEARS in advance, it has nothing to do with winning the Division.

[CosmicRedPanda]

While the Divisions you play are predetermined, the other games in the schedule are filled with other division winners if your team was a division winner; (ie, Denver, Houston)

EDIT:
Another for instance, our schedule this year...
HOME: Steelers, Bengals, Browns, Patriots, Cowboys, Raiders, Broncos, Giants
AWAY: Steelers, Bengals, Browns, Eagles, Chiefs, Texans, Chargers, Redskins

Take away our divisional games and you've got the AFC West (Broncos, Chargers, Raiders & Chiefs) and the NFC East (Giants, Eagles, Cowboys & Redskins). What remains is Patriots & Texans (both divisional winners from 2011).

It's a way to help keep the divisions competitive, I suppose.

From a traveling standpoint...it is great.. a couple of trips to the mid west and one to the Rocky Mtns What..no trip to San Diego????

[Ravensfan23]

My perdiction. The Ravens will open the season vs the Packers. Super Bowl rematch and of course the Ravens win the Super Bowl in this scenario, that why we'll get the opening night game.

I love that the Ravens seem to play the Pats every year in addition to the Steelers, Texans and now the Broncos because they are considered the best among the AFC. Getting to match up with those teams are always fun, and next year seems like a lot of those games will be at the Bank and probably in Primetime. Just more chances for the greatest fanbase in the NFL to be displayed to the world.

[cursona pirate]

knowing my luck the first time we play in Buffalo in a long time Im going to be far away in college... figures...
