2008 NFL schedule is here:
Rough start: Rams get Giants, Cowboys early
By Jim Thomas
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
04/15/2008
There’s no treading lightly when it comes to the Rams’ 2008 regular-season schedule; they get thrown right into the deep end.
Beginning with the season opener Sept. 7 at Philadelphia, the Rams play all four teams from football’s toughest division in 2007 -- the NFC East -- by mid October.
The Super Bowl champion New York Giants come to Our Town the following week, in the Rams’ Sept. 14 home opener.
Then it’s off to Seattle in Week 3 to meet the four-time defending NFC West champions -- the Seahawks. And there’s more. Before midseason, the Rams play NFC East power Dallas (at home) and travel to New England to play the defending AFC champion Patriots.
Isaac Bruce fans must wait until Nov. 16 to see the former Rams great -- reunited with "Mad" Mike Martz -- when St. Louis travels to San Francisco. The ***** don’t come to St. Louis until Game 15, on Dec. 21.
The Rams have a bye after just four games, matching the second-earliest bye since the move to St. Louis in 1995.
And for just the second time since the move to St. Louis, the Rams don’t have a prime time game. The only other time that happened was in 1999
