I think strength of schedule is one of the most ridiculous benchmarks in the NFL. Outside of two games you play the same schedule as everyone in your division. Every year there are surprise teams that are better and some that are worse. It’s better to look back at the end of the current season to see schedule strength.

Yes. The article pretty much explains how what might look like a tough schedule (or easy one) at the beginning of the season often turns out to be just the opposite by the time the season is over.

It is interesting to note though who actually did have easy and tough schedules once last year had played out.

To put it in Vegas terminology

* you stand as much of a chance losing to the dealer
as you do winning against the dealer

so why the fuss over strength of schedule??

Cause it's the "argument" idiots use, when they
get mad over someone they "hate" doing better
then them (insert year)

personally...I have no quarrels over who
Dallas beats or doesn't beat, Hook or by
crook

The only goal? is to win at any and
all costs, cause with out that trophy
hoisted at the end of the year

you've really accomplished nothing
except failure
