Isnt this the same every year?

 

Last years schedule looked pretty easy, but in the end, I believe we had the 2nd toughest based on record

WE GET THE FRIGGIN PATS AFTER THEIR BYE AGAIN!!!! BAH!!!!!

Uh... folks... this just in...

 

When you are a below .500 team you're on the 'bottom feeder' side of the line. So, every game is a tough one because more than 50% of the teams in the league have a better record than you.

 

Conversely, if you're in the upper echelon (ala the Pats), 75% of the league is worse than you. Therefore the schedule seems a lot easier.

 

So, please shut your yaps about the toughness of the schedule... Do you want to run with the big dogs or stay home and suck milk with the puppies? If you want to run with the big dogs, ya gotta play with em. If you want to get better you've got to be challenged.
