Division Schedules/End of Year

Recommended Posts

So, looking at our schedule made me start to dive into other playoff team schedules. A few years ago the nfl made it a point to have teams play their “divisional playoffs” the last few weeks of the year to make it more exciting and have a bigger impact for the Playoffs. 

Here is our final 4 weeks of the year 

2018 

Browns, Saints, Falcons, Saints 

2017

Vikings, Packers, Bucs, Falcons 

2016 

Chargers, Redskins, Falcons, Bucs 

2015 

Falcons, Giants, Falcons, Bucs

The last 4 years we have played a NFC South Opponent 10 out of a possible 16 games. Played a NFC opponent 14 of the 16 games. 

Is that normal? I looked at our current playoff teams to see if they see the samething the NFC south does. 

LA Rams 

2018

Bears, Eagles, Cardinals, 49ers 

2017

Eagles, Seahawks, Titans, 49ers 

2016 

Falcons, Seahawks, 49ers, Cardinals 

2015

Lions, Bucs, Seahawks, 49ers 

9 of 16 games with the NFC West, 15 of 16 in the NFC 

New Orleans Saints 

2018 

Bucs, Panthers, Steelers Panthers 

2017

Falcons, Jets, Falcons, Bucs 

2016

Bucs, Cardinals, Bucs, Falcons 

2015

Bucs, Lions, Jags, Falcons 

11 of 16 games with the NFC South, 13 of 16 NFC opponent 

Dallas Cowboys 

2018 

Eagles, Colts, Bucs, Giants 

2017 

Giants, Raiders, Seahawks, Eagles 

2016 

Giants, Bucs, Lions, Eagles 

2015 

Packers, Jets, Bills, Redskins 

7 of 16 with NFC East opponents, 12 of 16 with NFC opponents

Chicago Bears 

2018 

Rams, Packers, 49ers, Vikings 

2017 

Bengals, Lions, Browns, Vikings

2016 

Lions, Packers, Redskins, Vikings

2015 

Redskins, Vikings, Bucs, Lions 

9 of 16 NFC North Opponents, 14 of 16 NFC opponents. 

Seattle Seahawks 

2018

Vikings, 49ers, Chiefs, Cardinals

2017 

Jags, Rams, Cowboys, Cardinals 

2016 

Packers, Rams, Cardinals, 49ers

2015 

Ravens, Browns, Rams, Cardinals

9 of 16 NFC West opponents, 12 of 16 NFC opponents.

 

So why does the NFC South seem to beat each other up so much at the end of the year? Ratings? Scheduling? 

Also, one of these things aren’t like the other....

    • So yes, him having his best game as a pro was a big part, but besides that him doing it while injured, while coming back into the game is a big difference.  Yea he has come back and played in games when injured...but he also in those cases have come back in and stunk up the joint like so many times he has in the past and THAT is what makes it different.  
    • I don't think deep in the fan sense matters much, honestly. I still think he needs to be able to consistently place passes well up to 20 yards and that's what is more critical. He did that yesterday - he was basically 7/11 on passes 15-25 yards and that's good enough that it also opens up passes all over the rest of the field. In week 10 he was 1/2 in that range; week 9 2/3 with an int; week 7 he was 0/4.  Anyway we need more of that... He needs to be stressing defenses past the sticks for us to open up the rest of the offense.
    • That depends on the factors involved. Quite a few of the shorter passes that we do throw the "check down" is one of the first 1-2 reads. One could argue that could be because of Bryce but that's really almost impossible for us to know without Dave Canales essentially telling us that directly.
