Thing is what happened last year means little heading into this season. Some games that may look like a cake walk today may end up being a tougher game as some of these teams improve over last year, by the same token some of these teams may not be as good as they were last year. These strength of schedule really are meaningless.

The Eagles have an easier strength of schedule because we get to play the Cowboys, and the Cowboys have a harder strength of schedule because they have to play us

I just don’t see it being easy. A lot of tough road stands and the end the season looks brutal.

I get that I his is based off numbers

All this really proves is that basically every team has an easy schedule.

All this really proves is that basically every team has an easy schedule.

It really comes down to how the schedules are laid out.
Like I am surprised we have 2 at home of the last 3. We have 3 straight home games, but also have 3 straight road games later on. I have not looked at other teams yet, other than the NFCE and the Bengals. Bengals have the same, 3 home, 3 away.

No other team in the NFCE has that. 3 and 3 Home / away games.
WFT has 3 of their last 4 on the road. I was surprised with that as well. Eagles have 3 or 4 at home to finish, I am not surprised with that. Plus they have a week 14 bye.
NYG has 2 of last 3 on the road, and 4 of the last 6. As we also 4 of last 6 on the road.

So really nothing stands out as being unfair I guess. I do not like 3 straight home or 3 away games. For any team. I think they NFL could do much better at this.
Overall really no complaints. It is what it is, so just go win the games.

That's not the only reason lol......Cowboys are actually facing some dogs next year especially at quarterback.....its not like the Giants and Commanders are juggernauts.

I don't know about that. Commanders aren't ranked too bad here but they have some tough games on their schedule.
Well yea they play a first-place schedule.

But they still have like 10 games against bad teams. If you win the "easy" ones, you're a 10-win team. It's like that pretty much across the league.

Essentially Philthy doesn't have to fly after October but one trip to Denver. Couple of bus rides to NY and one to Washington and the rest at home. For the last 2 months of the season they sleep in their own homes if they want to.
