    2007 Strength of Schedule

    Look at this...the NFC is so bad that all 16 NFC teams have the easiest schedule for next year?? That cannot be correct.

      The Lions have the hardest sked out of any of them.

        How does the NFL justify giving the toughest schedule to the worst team in the NFL?

        Don't get me wrong, I hate the Raiders, but that's a bit absurd if you ask me.

          I don't understand the schedule process, I just know the basics. I think it sucks. They should just make it completely random as to who you have to play outside of your divsion.

            What's the 2007 record of those teams?

              The Bears had an easy schedule this year also. This schedule thing is a little absurd.

                Under current scheduling guidelines, only 2 games are based on a team's record the previous year. This season, the Raiders play all 4 teams in both the NFC North and the AFC South. Of course, they face KC, Denver and San Diego twice - which accounts to a large degree for the strength of their schedule.

                As far as the AFC teams having the hardest schedules, the AFC totallly dominated the NFC in interleague play last season, hence most NFC teams have very mediocre records compared to the AFC.
                Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                  Well if you suck and are in a good division then you are bound to have a difficult strength of schedule because you play those teams twice. Look at Oakland, those teams in there division are strong and throw in playing Denver, KC and San Diego twice and based on that alone your strength of schedule will not be your favor since you were a door mat to those teams this year and helped there record.

                    Exactly. The Raiders 2 games not preordained by the new scheduling rules are against the Browns and Dolphins - not exactly premier teams.

                      The NFC is absolutely terrible. It has been for a few years now.

                        If the Bills could somehow sneak into the NFC, we would be a powerhouse!

                          NOOOOO! Then we'd make it the SB against the stronger conference and...

                            If there ever was a year where these numbers meant little, this is it. The AFC will still most likely be the dominant conference next year, but with all of the movement expected this offseason, you could see quite a shuffling of teams' record from one year to the next. This should do little good for us... the Browns and maybe the Redskins are the only two teams we look definitively better than, and we play both on the road! Let's hope the departure of Cowher, Parcells and Tiki lightens the load of our out-of-division schedule.... and that we get the Phins in Buffalo for a December game (Jax too for that matter).

                              Look who's #2. That's what happens when your owner is hated by the league!!
