Ironically, despite the London trip and only 7 home games, the Falcons have a favorable travel schedule. A few observations:
-Most striking: The Falcons cross the Atlantic, but they don't cross the Mississippi. THAT has got to be a first. And they play on the banks of the Mississippi twice.
-The Cardinals travel to Atlanta after playing on the road in Seattle. That's brutal travel.
-Monday Night, in Green Bay, in December. Yuck.
-Bizarre October 12 - November 23 stretch without playing in the Georgia Dome.
-The London trip is tough, but at least it comes with the benefit of a very late bye week. The Jet lag will be long gone and the team should be well rested for the division games against the Bucs and Panthers.
-NO games against teams coming off a bye week.
I still hate that we start out against the Aints again.... why put our best game of the year off the bat again. Stupid
