But, we, as have everyone else in the NFC East has been helped by an easy schedule. Tampa, KC, Oak, Sea, Car, Wash thats 7 games with teams that will have top 5/10 picks. For Washington they have played Rams in addition I beileve. Imagine if we played the AFC East this year what our record and the rest of the division would be. I wouldn't be suprised if 9-7 won the division if we were playing the AFC East. With that being said, who are we? Do we really know. That Packer game this week reminded me of the Steeler game last year. It's funny were 9 games in and have no idea what level our team is at. Opinions

Who have we beat? The Falcons with a weak secondary? The Eagles without Westbrook? Who am I missing that is worthy of mention?

Silly thinking... Who has anyone beat really? Example: The Vikings lost to the Steelers yet the Steelers have lost to Chicago. The only case you can make is for beating a `worthy` team is when you beat an undefeated, and then you can still say "oh they aren't worthy because YOU beat them."

It doesn't matter who you beat. It only matters when.

The level our team is at is 6-3 and right now, 6-3 is one of the better records in the league.

And the Vikings have been playing the 1985 Bears every week.

I hate to put a damper on anything, too. But you're just another fraud "sky is falling" fan, and we don't need you.

Opinions. :rolleyes:

How come you dont say jack about the mighty Saints schedule???

They have one of the easiest schedules in the freaking league, every week they are playing a scrub team and alot of times they have to come from behind against those scrub teams. They had to come from behind against the Dolphins, come from behind to beat the mighty Carolina Panthers, and just had a nail bitter against the freaking Rams this past Sunday.

The Rams, seriously???

Name me one team in the league that has beat contenders week in and week out and not piled up Ws against .500 ball clubs or worse.

Man, I got suckered in the last few weeks - I thought maybe the bye week had gotten some things straight, because we started beating bad teams by a notable margin, and had beaten a decent Atlanta team, beat the Eagles...

Then Green Bay. Jimminy Christmas already, what the hell was that? It's okay to lose to the Pack at Lambeau, but losing with such a completely pathetic offensively display, that felt like two steps back after taking two steps forward.

Going to see this motley crew this Sunday up close and personal at the new stadium. They can either right the ship, or plunge hell bent for the rocks. I can't predict anymore, this team can take two completely different looks on subsequent weeks.

What's so great about the AFC East?

It has one team with a winning record, which happens to be the same as ours.

If you really look around even the undefeated teams have not really played a tough schedule. Indy played New England...other than that really nobody worth noting. New Orleans? kind of the same deal. I think Cincy is for real because the beat the Steelers twice and the Ravens D twice. The Chargers are 6-3, who have they beat? New England 6-3, same deal, who?

What I'm getting at is who has really played who?? None of the top ranked teams have really played anyone, other than that one big team, that can truly measure how good they are.

If anything there's alot of mediocrity in the league, maybe even more so this year. Things will shake out over the next 7 weeks with W's and who has big injuries.

I don't care if the Cowboys win by a point in the next 7 games and they are playing teams that a pop warner team could beat.

If #6 comes down the line after that , all the rest don't matter.

Strength of shedule, what a joke. You still have to win the games, no matter what scrubs you beat, or very good teams you beat.


Any given Sunday.

You described a lot of the contending teams right now. I hate we lost to the Pack but I like where we stand right now and still encouraged about the prospect of this team. I did not claim SB was coming after beating Philly not going to get overly upset about this past game.

Opinions are like ***holes, everyone has them and they tend to stink.

There is no team in the league right now with a winning record that hasn't "been helped by an easy schedule". We've played the Giants, Broncos, Falcons, Eagles, and Packers so far. That looks like a tougher schedule overall than what the Saints or Colts have played so far this season.

Just curious why you point out the AFC East? I think that has shaken down now as a very average division. Fact is, about half the league is very average and 5-7 are pathetic. You play who you play.

Please use more qualifiers to degrade our victories. It's awesome and fun.

We may have 1or 2 extra losses (maybe none) with the AFC East...depending on where and when the games where played.
