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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
