Against Schedule-mania

Can I just say how ridiculous this obsession with the NFL schedule is? I haven't listened to a single radio show in past three days in which the host hasn't gone through the schedule game by game to guess which games the Eagles will win or lose.

The season is five months away! They haven't even had the draft yet! And on top of that, nobody knows how good any team is- even once the season has started! Haven't you ever heard of upsets, or teams being unexpectedly good or bad?

Besides, I can guarantee that- mostly due to the Bengals tie- not a single observer throughout the entire league correctly predicted the Eagles 9-6-1 record last year.
