The Only Stat that Matters Today? - With Commentary!

Don't forget SEA at Jacksonville as well! Lotta those games DID look like semi-gimmes at the beginning of the year.

Phila had a pretty sweet schedule too, but beat Carolina and LA Ramz, but not Seattle suckas!

Yeah, good point on the Jags. Shoot, we've played how many winning teams this year? Six I think (not counting the second game against the Rams and our upcoming tilt against the Cowboys). The problem is, we're only 2-4 in those games. Gotta do better against good teams to merit consideration as a contender.

And 12 of the 16 games were/are against NFC teams, and the NFC is a crazy shootout this year. The 4 AFC teams we played were all from the AFC South. Weird? Or is that a scheduling thing I never noticed before? (Too lazy to research it on a Friday afternoon.)

 

[adeltaY]

Yeah. We will always play four games against an AFC division, which rotates on a four division cycle. Six games against division opponents (two per opponent). Four games against an NFC division, which rotates on a three division cycle. The remaining two games are against NFC teams who finished at the same place in their division as we did, but are not in the NFC division we're schedule to play.

This year, the Hawks are playing the AFC South and the NFC East. We finished #1 in our division last year, so we play the first place winners from last year: Dallas (playing them either way due to NFC East), Atlanta, and GB. We lost to both first place winners from last year so far...

The Rams had a stronger SoS at the beginning of the year if we're talking tie-breakers. Basically our season gets decided this weekend though.

Leg wrestling Atlanta for the 6th spot doesn't feel like a success when we went "all in" for expensive vets and decimated our draft.
