The strength of our schedule (.562) is easier than only the Tennessee Titans (.568).

By the way, those are the playoff tie-breakers in order too.

Of course, Chris Brown already went over all that...

and think how close the Bills played Indi, NE and SD.

what sucks is if there are 5 teams tied at 8-8 we are the 5th of that group draft order wise

Detroit with the 1st overall?? Which WR do they take this year?

Ice I dont care about drafting top of round. I want wins and improvement.

I kind of figured we had a tough schedule, even before the season started. It's a bunch of bullshiit that a team that was in the Super Bowl last year has one of the easiest schedules. (cough - Seattle!)

Ice I dont care about drafting top of round. I want wins and improvement.I'm with you.
It has been a tale of two seasons, pre bye week post bye week.
It bodes well for the future.

That's the double whammy imposed by a tough schedule. It makes it tougher to win games. Then when you lose games you can't get the full benefit in terms of draft position.

The NFL might hate Buffalo...but the schedule is not random. They already have the list of most of the teams we are playing - even many years into the future.

The only thing that they have to decide on is WHEN we play which team.
