FanFromtheWasteland Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 No supries. When you play crappy for 2 years in a row you eventually play all crappy teams. Not a big supries that division winners play a hard schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only two teams we play that reflect our 'crappy play' are Denver and Buffalo. Read the link to see how it works, but no, you would rather just use it to whinge.....

Finball Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 How often does projected strength of schedule in February actually end up being accurate? We still have the draft and FA coming. A lot can change. That said, as of now, it certainly does look fairly easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKColt13 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 When you play badly the season before and play in the worst division in football I'd be surprised if it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Before the 2016 season started, the Falcons were set to play the league’s most-difficult schedule. But after the games were played, Atlanta actually played the eighth-easiest schedule.

The Rams and 49ers are dumpster fires, Cards are ok and will probably bounce back a tad because of Arians but they aren't a contender, and the Seahawks are in decline. We finally don't have the worst the Division IMO. Our schedule as of now looks to be favorable but it's tough to project in February because certain teams improve a lot and others decline year after year.

NFC Weat I can just about get behind, but both have at least one true playoff team in them. Seattle and Pitt. AFC North also has Cincy who are a 9-7/10-6 worthy team. AFC South has no team ready for playoff success. Closest would be the Titans probably, but I need to see more of them before I christen them playoff-worthy.

You are correct on both counts, although the stats on the SOS last year did allude that it does make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I hope it works in our favor, we need all the help we can get and I miss being in the Playoffs. I still think the Jags are at least a year away from even maybe being .500. I am not sure about how good how the Texans and Titans will be? Texans have a solid Roster but no QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surge89 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Wait when did the AFC North become a bottom tier division as alluded to in this topic? That is soooo far from the truth. One terribly ran team doesn't make a division terrible... Ravens play literally everyone tough still even though they are still trying to find an identity. They fluctuate between 8-12 wins and they do it consistently. The one time they haven't they lost their QB for the year... Bengals when healthy have legitimate AFC championship aspirations. They may underachieve in the playoffs but it doesn't make them a bad team. Steelers are as dominant as ever and like the Ravens haven't been under 8 wins in how long now? The only team that is not a good team is the Browns. And even they have taken quite a bunch of teams down to the very last minute.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lucky Neck Beard Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I don't know, the more difficult games on this schedule are away games. I don't think that makes it particularly easy... But I think we can pull out at least a 3-13 record. I dont think we get below that ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superman Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 We play the AFC North with the 1-15 Browns and the NFC West with the 4-12 Rams and 2-14 Niners. Not surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad72 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I know I am rooting for the Patriots not to get the #1 seed in the AFC. I feel it will be the Steelers at #1 and the #2 and #3 will be a battle between the Patriots and Raiders/Chiefs with the Raiders/Chiefs games vs Patriots deciding that at the end, IMO. I just don't think the AFC South will win enough against the other 3 divisions to make a dent in the bye week column. On the NFC side, I think the Seahawks get the #1 seed if Earl Thomas decides to return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a division with 3 teams in or just outside the playoffs for the last 15 years or so compared to a division with 3 worthless teams and one good team the last 15 years good call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
