Wash schedule is tough not only in division but teams like Falcons, Steelers, Ravens and even the Bengals will be in front of RGIII. If Wash had a favorable schedule I wouldnt rule it out. Unfortunately they dont. Good luck, i'm a big fan of RGIII and bittersweet he is a Redskin.  |
I think you were implying that the Bengals had a more favorable schedule than the Panthers did, and thus we'd fall more in line with the Panthers. If I messed up the translation, my apologies.
Just one minor point:
Carolina's SOS last year = 0.504 (opp 129-127)
Cincinnati's SOS last year = 0.492 (opp 126-130)
So, it wasn't as if the quality of the opponents was that different for Dalton and Newton (Dalton did have to face the Ravens and Steelers twice each). |

At the same time, while last year's results will not necessarily predict this year's results, you can spot trends.
For instance, the Steelers have not had a losing season since 2003 and have only missed the playoffs twice since 2003 (2006 (8-8) and 2009 (9-7)). Given the age of their defense and some of the losses they've experienced, I suspect they won't replicate last year's 12-4 record. However, they're still likely to be a good team. Likewise, since 2003, the Ravens have had only three losing seasons and only one since 2006 (2007 when they went 5-11). They've made the playoffs ever other year since 2006.
On the other hand, the Browns have been an exercise in futility. Since their return to the NFL, they have had only two winning seasons: 9-7 in 2002 when they went to the playoffs, and 10-6 in 2007 when they didn't. In every other year, they've averaged 4.5 wins.
So, while there is no guarantee of future gains based on past performance, trends are a bit indicative. It's why we predict our record based on the schedule. |

You keep bumping them, I'll keep locking them.
Technically, this is post-padding. You know, one of those things that Webby mentions you should not do in the forum rules.
Just saying. |
