[Kerosene31]

How the fuck do the Pats get the easiest schedule? Check the fucking tapes...

I know they play in a bad division, but my god...

 

[nigafool]

p.s. when two teams in your division go 1-15 and 4-12 it is going to affect your SoS

Of course, but at least shouldn't the bad teams in the division get an easier schedule?

Come on... it doesn't add up.

 

[nigafool]

the nfl schedule works on a rotating basis to have every team play every other team in a 4(?) year cycle

this leads to divisional teams having many of the same opponents.

it's pretty simple.

 

[groundzero]

you can't be serious

 

[nigafool]

from memory i think it works out like this:

6 games vs. the rest of your division
4 games. vs. a non-conference division
4 games vs. a conference division
1 game each vs. the two teams that finished in the same spot as you did in your division the previous year, that are not in the division you already have on the schedule

 

[TheGhost]

wow

18-1 again

 

[Silent Bob]

go bucs & stuff

 

[nigafool]

i would be willing to lose that game to the colts

if it meant a super bowl victory

 

[Kerosene31]

Hopefully the NFC rips the Pats a new one once again anyway.

 

[nigafool]

i dont knew if going 4-1 vs. the toughest division in the NFC is 'getting ripped a new one'
