I was browsing the 2020 Schedule. At first blush it seems light.

We do this every year. It’s way too early to judge a schedule. Last year, the 49ers game looked like a gimme and the Bears game looked like a potential slug fest. There’s way too much turnover, parity, and injury to talk SOS before a season. Our schedule this season ended up having only 4 playoff teams.

As for respect, who cares? Unless we go 16-0 next season or beat teams by 21 a game, we are officially in “who cares what they do in the regular season; can they finally get in done in the playoffs” territory with the media.
