strength of schedule will mean even less this year than usual. Last year's teams will be very different than this year. Look at our team. Do we look at all like last year? There are a bunch of teams that have made significant changes to the point that the current teams will hardly represent their previous ones. For example if Favre retires and they can't adequate replace him, Minnesota will be night and day different from last year. How about Philly without McNabb or Washington with him. The list goes on and on.

Good read, but these things are insanely inaccurate. There are always a handful of teams that go from the slums to playoff contenders every year.

Well, sure. But at the same time, many teams are perennially horrible (I'm thinking virtually the entire NFC West here).

Before the season started, we were slated to have one of the toughest schedules in 2009. I think that schedule played out accurately, for the most part. The teams we thought would be contenders were through much of the season (even if we ended up embarassing them -- see the Minnesota Vikings).

Likewise, there will be some teams that go from being contenders one season to the slums the next. Of the teams we face, I could see Pittsburgh, Arizona and Cincinnatti in this bunch.

We had a relatively easy schedule in 2008, and it definitely remained that way through the season thanks to playing always awful teams like Kansas City, Detroit and Oakland.

this is my thinking. there is always a balance.

Definitely true. We can potentially sweep NFC west. Seahawks have gotten worst(and made one of the dumbest trades for a quarterback since Jay Cutler lol.). 49ers are going to be average, and may be tough to beat because of their good defense. Cardinals offense depends entirely on Leinert, which is a good thing for us. and the Rams are, well, the Rams.

Our 2010 strength of schedule is ranked 26th out of all 32 teams. Our opponents for 2010 have a combined .477 winning percentage.

Good year to get a youth movement off the ground if you ask me.

Yup, this is the ONLY reason that I'm not totally bummed about the youth movement (A.K.A. rebuilding). As I have stated in other threads, the quality of our schedule should net us 5-6 wins even if we are playing, at best, mediocre ball. Above average play yields another 2 or 3 wins and excellent play might actually see the team get 10 wins.

HOWEVER, given last year's schedule I would see no improvement over wins and loses. In other words, last year's team would have been playoff contenders with this year's schedule.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
