Doesn't matter if Jed mentions it. Up to the scheduling czar, his small team, and no one else.

i just hope we get some of our east coast games as 1pm starts, the seahawks got 2 typical 10am games in tampa and in new orleans that started at 1pm, i would like something similar

I would perfer it. Do the Washington one first (win) then just get the inevitable asspounding in Baltimore over with so we can go back home and get a feel-good win against Arizona or something.

I remember the Patriots did the same thing on the West coast the year that Cassel took over for Brady. They played @SD one week and @SF the next week.

With the Harbaugh brothers coaching against each other maybe we could get a MNF followed by Sunday to cut the trip down.

HELL YEAH!! CUZ IM GONNA BE THERE!!!

1 trip? and Practice and watch film where exactly?

Edit: It should only be considered if its a short week. Like a Sun to Thur game. Maybe a Monday night to Sun game.

I'm mostly concerned about Harbaugh finding a QB. You don't lose road games because of frequent flier miles. You lose road games when you're not a very good team. This team had a great road record in the dynasty days. West coast teams will always travel more.
