Who cares? Why do you guys care about these innocuous statistics anyway?

In sports, whoever has a better score, wins the game. That's how sports works, every point matters. In the end, the score is all that matters.

Players have no control on who they play. These are all media driven narratives, to get non-players/non-participants/spectators to conversate, so these companies can have jobs and make money. And most of you fall for it.

Regular season stats mean nothing, this is the tournament. You lose, you're out. Doesn't matter what stats anyone has.

Atlanta .429
New Orleans .433
Dallas .446

And our Strength of victory is 3rd worst of any playoff team at .392

Is this concerning?
It would be if we were barely winning games... but we rolled teams. That's a good sign.

There are no "BAD" NFL teams... Any given Sunday.

It matters.

If we were 8-9 versus playing the 49ers every game for an entire season, or 15-2 playing the panthers every game for a season, which suggests your team is stronger?

Maybe early to begin. brutal to end

Seahawks - just missed playoffs with identical record
Eagles - 5 seed
at Buffalo - 2 seed
at Dolphins - 6 seed and was a 2 seed
Lions - 3 seed
at Washington - rival game where we stink.

I find it hard to find a tougher end of the season Especially with 3 of 4 on the road to end

Duh, We lowered the winning percentage of all the teams we beat. If we would have lost to those teams, they'd have a higher win percentage.

Same for all teams.

This means the teams we beat got beat by everyone else also....which means our win is weaker.

If everyone wins against a weak team, statistically it doesnt help you to also win against a weak team.

For at least a decade, the 49ers in the 1980's had one of the easiest schedules every season; that didn't stop the Niners and Joe Montana from winning 4 Super Bowls and being the team of the 80's.

For about two decades, the Patriots had one of the easiest schedules every season playing against the AFC east doormats; that didn't stop the Patriots and Tom Brady from winning 6 of 9 Super Bowls they appeared in, and being the team fo the 21st century through those two decades.

I would suggest not worrying about the regular season schedule once the playoffs start.
