anyone looked at '12 home/away games for steelers and ravens

What a joke! I know it's early but right now on paper it appears we play all tough opponents on the road and the ravens play all the tough opponents at home. Thx once again NFL. Sux.

Doesn't look bad to me. I just hope our draft goes well.

This is formulaic. We're not getting screwed. 4 years ago (last time we played NFC East) we played Dallas and NYG at home, so now we go on the road and welcome the other NFC East teams in at home. Baltimore was the opposite in 08.

Regardless, I don't see a big discrepancy in our schedules at all. Our is easier since we finished second and we get the NYJ and Titans while they get NE and Houston.

dam it sure feels like we are getting screwed

When I go through those schedules and pick I get Ravens- 11-5 or 10-6, Steelers 12-4 or-11-5, I counted the head to head games as a split so I would not be surprised if once again our regular season matchups against each other will determine the division winner at the end. As long as we split, we will win the division in all likelihood. I know there will be many changes between now and then, but as much changes, many things remain the same, and I don't expect the AFC North to be won by anyone other than the Steelers or Ravens for at least 2-3 more seasons. Go Steelers!!! Rest, Re-tool, and take the Ravens to school in 2012!

Good, I would prefer it if every game was as tough as possible.

I think our home schedule is tougher than our road schedule.

San Diego - Normally a good team with a high powered offence. I'm sure they'll bounce back next year
NYJ - They are going to be a much better team next year, especially with Sporano as their new OC.
Philly - They'll bounce back next year and I think will be a top 5 team next year
Washington - Shanahan is a good coach and I wouldn't be surprised if he turns things around quickly. They'll be a good team, but not great.

That's 4 tough games at home. The only tough games I see on the road are Dallas and NYG.

Not to mention that the NFL didn't just randomly pick which teams we play at home and on the road, it's based on a formula.
