Schedule Question

By Tom Rock

Just another late update that I haven?t seen discussed much: The NFL announced the 2007 preseason schedule (the regular season schedule is, well, behind-schedule but should be announced soon). This year the Jets play four games and will not have to board a plane. The host the Falcons and the Vikings in the first two weeks, ?visit? the Giants in Week 3 and travel to Philly to play the Eagles in Week 4.

Those last two games are traditional preseason rivalries; the Jets have closed the make-believe portion of the program with the Giants and Eagles for the last few years. But here?s the question for you: What do you feel about playing two preseason games against two teams that are on the regular-season schedule? I mean, the Jets could conceivably play the Eagles on that first weekend of September, then again on a Sunday in September when it counts for real. It?s an especially tough scenario with the third preseason game, always the most ?realistic? in terms of starters playing and gamesmanship.

Your thoughts?
