    Well we'll still have 41 home games, you should've emphasized that our early schedule has a lot of road games. Strength of schedule can at times be a problem. If it causes us to get a slow start, and the players get disgruntled or a little dissapointed and can't recoup it could cause problems for the season. I think we should be fine though, but some people might get dissapointed early if the team starts off bad.

    That is bad....but last year, we've improved on playing on the road, so i'll be looking for the raptors to play.

    I'm just worried that we won't get off to a horrible start again, especially in November...

    I'd rather be at home for the end of the season when we're hopefully fighting for a playoff spot. As long as we avoid a disasterous beginning like we had last year, things should be ok.

    P.S. Ricky Williams has been getting eaten up this year by everyone (especially my Bombers) but I think things can turn around as long as he doesn't break anything.

    No dice on Ricky turning things around. The dude is probably getting crunk while we speak.

    Raptors really got screwed schedule-wise. It's better to have an easy beginning to buuild up a team's confidence, but who know's.
