We have the 20th easiest schedule for next year

It's all in how you word it.

I find it a bit amusing that Atlanta will have the hardest schedule (T-1st) and New Orleans and Tampa Bay have the 4th and 5th ranked schedules respectively.  Of course that has a lot to do with how many games we won this past year.

so, is it 0% chance to not be the 12th hardest?

u cant judge a schedule based on the previous year

Never have been a follower of the strength of schedule until it means something at the end of the season.

yes

This means nothing

The idea of strength of schedule is neat,  but moot at the end of the day.  There is so much turnover year to year in the NFL. Everyone has a chance to be good and change that SoS. 

Look what our record did to theNFC South.

Absolutely. In an attempt to get a true SoS, one would need to factor out all the games the team in question has played. The reason for doing this is a winning team is downgraded for each of its victories and a losing team is upgraded for its defeats. Then you have to factor out all the division games played by the AFC and NFC division a team faces. These will automatically be .500 regardless and act as a buffer. If a team is on the high side of .500 this pulls their SoS down while teams below .500 get an automatic boost for factoring in an entire division's divisional games.

SoS is for media/writers and should never be taken seriously. Too many flaws in that metric.
