49ers 2012 season opponents

[Thepatty13]

Home - Ari, STL, Sea, Det, NYG, Chi, Buff, MIA

Away- Stl, Ari, Sea, GB, N.O., Minn, N.E., NYJ

Green Bay, New Orleans, New England, and New York Jets all away. Interesting. Home schedule looks fairly easy, though.

At least if we make the playoffs next year we will be battle tested on the road, thats for sure..

 

[h0ckeysk83r]

Not too bad, i agree the road schedulle will be even tougher then this year.

The primetime games i could see are GB, Saints, Patriots, Jets, NYG, Det, Seattle. Not saying we will get all those but they will be considered.

We may also have another 4-5 games at 10 am ET on the road.

Just as fate would have it - so we come in third (2010) and get two of three 3rd place divisional games at home - now we come in first and get two of three 1st place divisional games on the road. Ugh!

I'm sure the Giants aren't to thrilled to have to come out west for a second straight year. Perhaps the scheduling gods should switch the NYG and GB games.

I just found why the 2012 rotation with the NFC North, which should have been GB and MIN at home, CHI, DET on the road wasn't followed. Starting in 2010, teams facing the entire NFC W play either at SF/AZ or at STL/SEA. This altered the rotations to the current alignment. There was a similar adjustment to the AFC W rotation as well. Teams drawing that division either play at OAK/DEN or at KC/SD. All this was done to avoid two trips to the west coast for visiting teams in the same season. Funny how the same accommodation isn't made for West Coast teams traveling to the East.

Interesting to say the least...I wonder why the West Coast owners put up with this, or worse, agreed with it (if they did). Seems rather ridiculous to me.

Passing yardage: 1. Brees, 2. Brady, 3. Stafford, 4. Manning, 5. Rodgers. 49ers will face each in '12.

We always get screwed with the schedule. I can't remember, but I thought we have had the most miles travels the last 4 years or something along those lines. The year we went to England we were first. Second was Denver and we were almost 2000 miles more travel then them and they went to England too. I could be wrong on this but I thought I read that somewhere.

9-7??

3-3 in division (ALWAYS my prediction)
4-1 home (non-Div)
2-3 road (non-Div)

WAY early, of course, but pretty promising, seeing as I am intentionally predicting against our favor...

like to think we can go 4-2 in our Division?

granted, both Arizona and Seattle are tough, but still think we'll beat them at least once each. the other two wins are of course the Rams......cause i ALWAYS want to predict that.

It would be a HUGE disappointment if we do not go AT WORST 4-2. I just ALWAYS predict a 3-3 in the division cause it is always hard to beat an NFL team twice in the same season. As bad as some of these teams are, their rosters are still populated with 53 of the best players on the planet.

The NFL just wants to give them a rematch for us beating them on the way to our sixth. Just kidding, New England's not getting there.

 

[Badger8843]

9-7 still wins the division

 

[Flyingiguana]

this is complete bullshit. we gotta play the top 3 qb's at their house? then we have to go up against stafford and eli. maybe the 5 best passing attacks in the nfl all in one season.

we are gonna have to resign rogers and go after grimes for sure in the offseason. seattle and arizona have made big strides, we're gonna need to shore up that secondary.

 

[CalamityX11]

The GB & NO got to be primetime matches... on SNF or MNF...

Fuck that TNF crap!

nah, i hear you. our current Division doesn't look good on paper, but come that Sunday..........

i hope so, but think we'd need 10-6? both Arizona and Seattle have a shot at 9-7.

while not expecting another 13-3 season, i'd think >50% chance we reach 10-6?
