Love when he talked about not being able to look at Vilma in the lockerroom.

Thank you for the share. Franchise lows in takeaways, ouch.

No NFL Team sleeps on any team. The media does.

I never put much weight on strength of schedule because it doesn’t factor in a lot of things like injuries, suspensions trades, etc.

There are lots of teams that play down to their competition when playing a lesser team.

New Season Teams make changes every offseason.

It's meaningless. No team is the same from last year, so strength of schedule before the season starts means nothing to me.

Same.

During our 7-9 era... I vaguely remember one year where we supposedly had a super easy schedule. We know how that turned out..

Was I not paying attention? I didn't hear him mention Vilma once.

I don’t think the quarterbacks we will face is meaningless to look at.

What does that have to do with thinking strength of schedule before a season starts is meaningless?

Who’s talking about strength of schedule? I’m looking at the teams we are facing, in their current state.

EDIT - He mentions Vilma around 3:35 mark.

This thread is literally about our strength of schedule and you created it.

Well, it depends on if you are talking about strength of schedule based on last year’s teams or how your opponents look now. For example, people like to point out the Falcons have the “easiest” schedule based on last year’s records. But they face the Jets, who look a lot better now than they did last year, and we don’t.
