SOS is hard to really determine until the season unfolds.

We were supposed to have a tough schedule this past year and it truly wasn't. We ended up facing 4 playoff teams, but back during the summer the schedule looked much more difficult with Chicago and Indy on there.

Happy that GB is in the middle there, so they won't get another cupcake schedule that was the sole reason they went 13-3 this past year and struggled in most of their wins.

The only way to accurately assess SOS is in Week 17 of that year...

We were suppose to have one of the weaker schedules last year (~ No. 22), then teams revealed themselves and low and behold, we had to have had the toughest schedule in the league,

...sans NFC South who had to play us twice...

That which does not kill us makes us stronger! You become the best by beating the best out there. I don't sweat SOS anymore. Teams predictions and production are generally not in the same ball park.

Doesnt look like they factor Drew choking...

If Drew stays we have the toughest schedule
If Bridgewater stays we have the easiest schedule. After all, he did go 4-0 against teams with losing records.



... figured I would get this train of thought out of the way.

The Saints play both the 49ers and the Chiefs. OMG... 2-0!

Don’t worry ... Follow Bridgewater wherever he lands ... Be Happy.

I'm not really worried about the Niners ...we damn near put up 50 on them. Just couldn't stop the big plays late in the game.

Free Agency, Draft makes SOS from the last season obsolete, nongermane...

Now that Brady has signed with the Bucs, I'd like to see what the real strength of schedule will be...

Brady doesn’t have a line protecting his every move

Pretty boy Tom will get hit
at least till the refs blow the whistles before they touch him

Arians has added some protection for Brady, who only had Thuney when he was in New England...

Bucs are gonna be legit, but we have more talent...

Remember when the NFC South was strong? It's about to be the most dominant conference in football. All of our division foes made smart moves this year and games will be tougher to win in the NFC South now.

We can still do it, but we need to come out aggressive and not flat like last year or we'll be trying to come from behind to win games again.

I think Carolina is slowly building a team tailor made for TB. CM will make his job a lot easier and he has a very legit receiver. Couple of pieces on D and they may be tough. I don’t look for Teddy to come in and lead them back from behind but Carolina will be a team you can’t afford to shoot yourself in the foot.

Well, if we do play football this year, it'd help that Goodell and his ilk don't produce another F'You schedule like the one the Saints got last year...

Robert Kraft kept Belichik and let Brady walk. That is extremely telling for me.

Perhaps it just slips my mind right now but what legit WRs does he have? Outside of CM there isn’t much talent on the team. Let’s remember Teddy two glove had the best WR in football along with a great TE and solid o line. Those are all things he won’t have in CAR.
