Here is the problem: "Easiest schedule" is strictly based on the current records of each team's remaining opponents. It therefore completely ignores the actual talent we play against, the West Coast curse, being owned by Philip Rivers, etc. No matter how many wins and losses the Chargers have they beat us every single time, regardless of who the home team is. Two of their losses were decided by missed game-winning FG attempts, which led them to change kickers, so they should be 3-2. On paper that one is a guaranteed loss unless there are some lucky breaks in our favor.

That is not the only misleading record. The Cardinals will get David Johnson back in time for our visit to Arizona because it is not until Week 12. Being at Arizona also goes against us because of our dismal record west of the Rockies. I don't think we can break the curse there because they have a lot of talent and are just waiting for their best player to return.

Everyone knows why the Colts suck now. Andrew Luck's return will erase any optimism based solely on their inability to decisively beat the Browns and 49ers. We rarely sweep them.

So I guess we’ll just have to earn it then.  Last year every starting QB against the Jags seemed to be out the week they played us.  (I think that was last year).  ...and we see how that went.  I’d rather them earn the wins personally.   I’d like to see Blake make throws in crucial times in the games and not see a completely one sided offense.  I’d like to see them win a game the defense hasn’t handed to them
