Two straight road games to start off 2004 at New Orleans and Tampa Bay. This is because the Mariners are in town Sept. 12 vs Boston and Sept. 19 vs Oakland. The whole "we can't have two games at both stadiums at the same time" deal.

Home opener vs San Francisco. This should be a W.

The bye is way too early once again. It's crazy how the Seahawks always seem to get an early bye.

October....wow.

St. Louis comes to Seahawks Stadium Oct. 10. I wish they could have put the Rams later in the schedule. At New England Oct. 17. THANK GOD THIS ISN'T LATER IN THE SCHEDULE. Hopefully the Arizona heat won't be too bad Oct. 24. The Cardinals will be improved with Dennis Green at the helm. And on Halloween, Carolina is in Seattle.

November opens up with 2 NFC West games on the road, at San Francisco and at St. Louis. The Seahawks come back home Nov. 21 against Miami and welcome Drew Bledsoe back to Washington Nov. 28 when Buffalo comes to Seahawks Stadium. If I'm not mistaken, this could be Bledsoe's first NFL game in Seattle. Interesting.

December...

DUH-DUH-DUH-DUH-DUH, DOO DOO DOO DOO, DUH-DUH-DUH-DUH-DUH!!!

December 6 MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
The Dallas Cowboys. Seahawks Stadium. 6 PM. I WISH I COULD BE THERE.

And this is the part of the schedule where the NFL does its annual screwjob against the Seahawks...

At Minnesota Dec. 12 (coming off the short week when the Seahawks play the Cowboys on Monday)
At New York Jets Dec. 19

God I hope the Seahawks show up in those games...

But fear not, the Seahawks close out the 2004 regular season schedule with Arizona Dec. 26, the day after Christmas. Michael Vick will make his first appearance in Seattle Jan. 2. This could be a huge game for both teams. Yes, I'm calling it already.

Looking at the 2004 schedule, I see a 11-5 season. That's if and only if the Seahawks can stay healthy. 10-6 is a real possibility, but I'll say 11-5. The Seahawks should win the NFC West in 2004. They have the talent to win now. Last year was only the beginning.

However, I do have a few problems with the schedule:

---ONLY ONE NATIONALLY TELEVISED GAME??? NOT EVEN AN ESPN SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GAME?

Oct. 31 San Francisco at Chicago is a Sunday Night Football game????

I thought the Carolina-Seattle game that day would be a much better pick, but that's just me.

---Opening up the season on the road the first two weeks.

The Seahawks better be ready.

---Two road games in December in consecutive weeks is simply not acceptable, not for a team that went to the playoffs last year. Especially since the Seahawks have to fly to Minnesota one week, then the next week fly all the way to the East Coast in DECEMBER to play the Jets.

It's April 14, and I'm fired up for football. BRING IT!
