Remember when many were looking at the schedule and thought this first half of the schedule couldn't get any tougher and that the NFL were trying to screw us? If anything they bent over backwards for us this season. Especially with selling out games as most of our home games were early in the season.
The schedule ended up being the total opposite and being very easy. We have only played two teams that are worth a damn and that has a winning record. The rest of them like the Broncos, Jets, Ravens and Bengals(to an extent) are shadows of themselves from last year. We had a streak of 3 games in a row at home and 4 out of 5 with all of them being against weak teams.
Now back then it was believed that the 2nd half of the schedule would get MUCH easier and be a piece of cake. Well now the 2nd half of the schedule looks very tough with improved teams like the Redskins, Giants and Browns.
Too bad we didn't get through the 1st half of the schedule 6-2 like we should've. Five of our home games are down the drain and now we only have 3 more left with many tough teams ahead of us. I guess you could say the schedule ends up close to the same but only in the opposite order.
This team will have a lot to prove the rest of this season. Bad coaching decisions lost us two important games we desperately needed right now. After this week comes the true test for our team. The combined records of the teams we have beat are 8-26.
It's not that the rest of our schedule are against powerhouse teams but they are against pretty good teams on the road. If this team can finish strong they can prove themselves some going into next season and maybe have a shot at the playoffs. If they bomb out it will show we still have a long ways to go.
