Add insult to injury, boys play a 1st place schedule next season

[snadler]

So not only do they no-show in the playoffs, but the reward is a 1st place schedule. Would have been better served missing the playoffs completely

Umm…great? What do we want, a powderpuff schedule so they can beat up on scrubs in the regular season and flame out in the playoffs again?

How so? The bulk of each team's schedule is predetermined each season through divisional and conference rotation.

We already know how that movie will end.

Here’s a breakdown of how each team’s opponents are set:

• Six games against divisional opponents — two games per team, one at home and one on the road.
• Four games against teams from a division within its conference — two games at home and two on the road.
• Four games against teams from a division in the other conference— two games at home and two on the road.
• Two games against teams from the two remaining divisions in its own conference — one game at home and one on the road. Matchups are based on division ranking from the previous season.
• The 17th game is an additional game against a non-conference opponent from a division that the team is not scheduled to play. Matchups are based on division ranking from the previous season.

These schedules never play out the way we think, injuries or teams aren’t as good as we think etc

 

[HungryLion]

It affects 3 games. No big deal.

Plus the NFL turns over so much year to year.

Doesn’t really portend the actual level of competition once season starts. Also, would be a good think for this team to be battle tested even if they get beaten to a pulp by physical teams much as they did this year.

Can’t believe any fan would want an easy scheduled ever again with this team.

All but three games. And those three will all be vs. division winners this season. Two NFC, one AFC.

How about changing the culture instead? The group they have now doesn't seem to care whatsoever that they just got their arses handed to them by a 1st year starting QB. They don't seem to care that they just embarrassed the city, the fans, the franchise, or most importantly themselves.

Why should I bother caring when this group overpaid losers doesn't care if they win or lose?

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

Out of the last 4 games, 3 will be on the road probably.

Wasn’t this year supposed to be hard too?

 

[nightrain]

Cool...better draft position in 2025.

 

[J_Allen]

It doesn't matter. We either miss the playoffs or lose in the first round.

 

[RonWashington]

Well we can count on 6 games against the jelly donuts of the NFCE . Thank you Roger . MM likes donuts brought them to team meets and greets where Jane Slater reported all the good vibes going down at the Star .

I mean that’s great news. This way if they face a bunch of good teams their record will suck. Or they beat the good teams. Win win.
