We have the 20th easiest schedule for next year

It's all in how you word it.

I find it a bit amusing that Atlanta will have the hardest schedule (T-1st) and New Orleans and Tampa Bay have the 4th and 5th ranked schedules respectively.  Of course that has a lot to do with how many games we won this past year.

The idea of strength of schedule is neat,  but moot at the end of the day.  There is so much turnover year to year in the NFL. Everyone has a chance to be good and change that SoS. 

Look what our record did to theNFC South. 

Absolutely. In an attempt to get a true SoS, one would need to factor out all the games the team in question has played. The reason for doing this is a winning team is downgraded for each of its victories and a losing team is upgraded for its defeats. Then you have to factor out all the division games played by the AFC and NFC division a team faces. These will automatically be .500 regardless and act as a buffer. If a team is on the high side of .500 this pulls their SoS down while teams below .500 get an automatic boost for factoring in an entire division's divisional games.

SoS is for media/writers and should never be taken seriously. Too many flaws in that metric.

    • I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.
    • holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
    • Well, if they know Tepper wants to keep Bryce there is an an implied safety net there in case he fails. A possibility that he will be empathetic and •maybe• not fire them.  If they go against that and bring in someone else and that fails they are in a much worse spot.  IMO.  And another factor may be that after all those years of instability and musical chairs pre Bryce there will likely be a feeling of security in knowing what they have.   Kind of like settling just to keep from going through the process all over again.     IOW I think he really needs to fug up bad to lose his job and change our course.
