The schedule means absolutely nothing. If we're good we will win games, if we still suck (which seems to be the only constant for us) we will lose games. If anything i'd prefer a tougher schedule at this point. You don't get any better by beating the scrubs.

That's how parity is supposed to work. The teams themselves on the schedule aren't the big deal; it's the challenge of traveling to the west coast for a midweek matchup, or three straight on the road or back to back games against division leaders, that's where the pretenders are separated from the contenders.

To a certain extent we do have a favorable hitch in each schedule - the WLOCP and London usually tie in to create a two-week minimum away from home, which affords us some other consecutive home games on the schedule.

The structure of the schedule is a lot more important than who we play one week to the next.
