Inside the numbers: Strength of Schedule

[ColoradoFinfan]

Ran some numbers based on the 1st 5 weeks win-loss records compared to last years win-loss (nothing else to do on a bye week):

Teams we play based on last years records, combined w-l and %:
152-104 .59% Toughest in the NFL

Teams we have played in the 1st 5 weeks, combined w-l and %:
14-9 .61% Toughest part of our schedule with Atl, Indy, Jets and SD

Teams remaining after bye, combined w-l and %:
22-31 .41% Two 0-5 teams, one 1-4 team, one 1-3 team, two 2-3 teams, NE twice 3-2, Jets 3-2, Pitt 3-2 and 4-0 NO

Conclusion:
1) Teams change alot in the off season so that statistic is always so bogus
2) Best is yet to come for Miami!:hump:

Also, if you take out the Buffalo W-L, we played ATL, INDY, SD, and Jets =
Combined 14-5 W-L = Whopping .74%
- Perfect in the division and found a QB in the process - Still not to bad - Best is yet to come.

Henne looked really good last week. He will be tested against N.O. and so will our D.

Yeah, I was going to post something to this extent. The saints are the toughest Opp. we face after that... it is a cake walk.

I really think week 17 is gonna be a dogfight with both us and Pittsburgh needing a win to get in.

lets hope so.. but i would much rather have the division title rapped up and that game not mean a thing.. hehe :up:

The difficult part of the schedule is that Miami will be on the road after NO for 6 out of 8 games.

Im with ya. If its week 17 and the Pit game is meaningful for both teams then a) Im thrilled because that means we had a solid season with a very tough schedule and b) I always like our chances at home in a big game.

It really is NOT good our schedule may be easier!! We're REBUILDING & need to play all the BEST Teams. Then we can accurately measure & assess all our players & needs.

Although it sure was fun last year .... did us little good to beat some cream puffs in the 4th quarter, then get a Thump-Job from Baltimore who could actually play football. (Baltimore wasn't even that good, & got thumped in turn.)

Easy schedule just made many fans think we were good, could block, play Defense, etc. etc. What good comes out of playing Buffalo??

First 3 games showed us exactly where/how we need to improve!!! Bring it on!! In Tuna we Trust!!:hump:

Good stats...I heard something today on the radio that was interesting....the Washington Redskins have played a team every week this season with ZERO wins, and the Patriot's opponents in every game this year has had ZERO losses.

No it's not a cake walk. Immediately after NO we have N.E then travel to the Jets. IMO the Jets game will be the toughest of the remaining games.
