I mean, every single year there are a half dozen teams that are supposed to be good that end up terrible - and a half dozen teams that are supposed to be terrible that end up competitive or even very good.
Then you've got all those middling teams flip-flopping around on the middling scale. I seriously don't take "schedule strength" into account at all until the new season gets a few games under its belt.
Not really.
I'm sure that last off-season many fans of other teams had their game against the Jaguars penciled in as an "easy win". Who would have thought that a struggling 3-13 team would come back the very next season as a 10-5 team, especially in the fashion that the Jaguars did? Who would have thought that Green Bay or Denver would be at the bottom of their respective divisions?

Looks pretty tough to me. Too bad we don't play the Browns again.
It's not possible that Brady falls off of a cliff like Manning? Are you sure that Rothliesberger will be back?
Brady is not human - he'll be good for a number of years more. But we can dream, can't we. And Ben might retire and Watson blows out his other knee and Wentz blows out his other knee ...

I know that the next time the Jags (AFCS) are set to play the AFCN as a whole that the Steelers will be in Jax.
Jags will get the Steelers and Browns at home, and @Cincy/Balt.
But, I'm not sure how they determine where the game will be held when they just get the team that finished in the identical position the prior year (Jags 1st,, Steelers 1st).
How is that determined?
Will next year's game be in Jax?
This year's game @Pitt was due to having to play the AFCN,, which Pitt was in Jax 4 years ago.
Here is a link to Jags schedules through 2019:

Wonder if Big Ben makes it to the Super Bowl and wins it, does he retire?!

No.. that was announced in January..
So we have home games against two of the most obnoxious fan bases in the world.
I hope season ticket sales are up next year.
