no three-game road trips and a stretch of four home games in five weeks near the end of the season. The bad news: they have an excellent chance of starting the season 0-8 again. The first half of this schedule is KILLER. And by the time it's done, all the teams they play in the 2nd half of the season that were lousy last year will probably all be better. If Scott Linehan survives this season, he must be a zombie or something.
Other notes: no prime-time games, not surprisingly.
The Rams open at home against the Super Bowl champs with two extra days of rest? Gee, thanks, NFL! Surprised the Rams didn't open with the Bears. That and the Dallas game could very well be the only home sellouts.
But Dallas and New England back-to-back? Criminy!
And the NFL made sure that life would suck for Rams fans by making us wait until the last home game for Isaac Bruce's return and forcing us to hear the Bruuuce call from San Francisco first.
Other than the nice home/road balance, I don't think the Rams caught a break in this schedule.
I take that back: after viewing the league schedule, for the first time I can remember, the Rams will not face a team coming off a bye week this season.
