Our schedule is HORRIBLE


CoastalCat

Recommended Posts

Ok, with the exception of moving a small market down and a big market up to help readership (i.e. +Bears, - Panthers), the power rankings this time of year tend to just be a copy and paste of last year's standings (despite the fact that an average of 5.5 teams get bounced from the playoffs each year). 

 

Anyway, a few friends and I got together and are seeing who can correctly pick the final playoff teams at various points in the season. The points are weighted to where the earlier picks count more, as the true playoff teams become for obvious as the season goes on.

 

My first set of picks are due tomorrow, and I wasn't sure what to do about our division. While researching, I took a closer look at our HORRIBLE schedule.

 

Panthers

-6 games against playoff teams 

-4 Away (Cincinnati, Green Bay, Philadelphia, New Orleans)

-2 Home (Seattle, New Orleans)

 

New Orleans

-5 games against playoff teams

-1 Away (Carolina)

-4 Home (Green Bay, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Carolina)

 

WHAT THE FRENCH!! TOAST!

Well c'mon now of course if you are going to nitpick for negatives you can easily find something (which you have). If you were to nitpick for positives I'm sure you could find something just as easy.

 

Maybe it's better the playoff teams are away games, go ahead and assume those are hard games so we probably only win half anyways. That leaves more of the easier games as home games which should increase the chance of winning more of them and having a better overall record.

Of course they are going to throw a pity party home schedule for New Orleans. Why those assholes are the darling of the schedule makers eye is beyond me.

I thought last season's schedule was going to be super tough too.

Then Falcons turned to poo
Giants became poo
Bucs were even worse than I thought

Minnesota went from playoffs to firing their coach

Zona was better than I thought

Etc. We won't know till we play em. Line em up and we will knock em down

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
