Quote:Except SoS is not usually the most accurate way of determining the difficulty of a team's schedule. That's been proven time and time again, simply because of how fluid the NFL is. Teams improve and decline from previous years.


At the start of last year, we were given a 29th ranked SoS (.453 opponent record).


The actual SoS at the end of the season was .527


That would have been a top 10 finish if the SoS projections actually held true.

Yeah, our opponents' record is seemingly much better since they got to whip the jags.


Like I said, no excuses. Absolutely none. Zero.

You can't tell me playing in freakin' Tampa as our 3rd away game is so hard. Same climate, minimal travel, what else? We will have plenty of fans down there as well. Why is Tampa such a hard away game? The Indy and Patriots away games are hard, but they are hard regardless of when they come.

This team isn't getting any slack from me anymore. Improve the damn team and win. You know, we are also allowed to line up 11 guys and we play by the same rules. Winning away and upsetting a good team is allowed. If we don't, then it's not the schedules fault, it's because this franchise is incompentent at evaluating and/or coaching NFL caliber players. Simple as that.
