LOL, sorry SOS stats aren't made up, Just check ESPN for the post season SOS and not the pre-season SOS. If Pre-season SOS, based off the previous seasons records, was even remotely accurate we'd know how as in the playoffs before the season began. But if you were 1/4 of the football fan you claim yourself to be you'd know that. But to re-iterate, and back up my "made up" SOS. stats :lol: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4027503 note, the 2009 SOS pre season show's the ACTUAL SOS the 2008 team faced THAT season. .568...exactly as stated by myself. http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/21479/2010-strength-of-schedule Now note the ACTUAL SOS the 2009 Jets faced .500. Granted the pre-season SOS for 2009 was .568...however when playing the games in 2009 the 2008 team records mean exactly NOTHING. What matters is the final record of a teams opponents at the end of the season. That is what reflects the quality of the teams that were ACTUALLY played against that season, and not some fantasy based on "what if the 2009 team had faced the 2008 teams". Rosters change, players get better with experience or decline due to age and or injuries, new coaches come in, old coaches go out, new systems come in and old systems come out. which makes the previous years SOS pretty damned unimportant in relation to the year being discussed. Take this year for example, we won't know how tough the schedule really was until the end of the 2013 season, we don't know who will be the really good teams and who will have really bad seasons. At this point in many teams cases we don't even know who will be filling some key roster spots on numerous teams. But then again Junc, that's basic football knowledge 101, which again you have failed to comprehend.
Again,. Post season SOS is a marketing stat from ESPN, like QBR. Pre season SOS is static. If Matt Ryan gets knoced out for the season the week after we lose to the falcons, and the lose out...how does that affect our :rofl2: post season SOS. Then suppose it happens to Brady, after we lose to them twice. Thats Basic Statistics 101, which again, you seem to comprehend enough to distort the basic logic 101 you fail to grasp. Like Pennington not throwing INTs under Schotty...:rofl:
ROFL, that is the most laughable post I've ever read, which is saying something around here. Of course the preseason SOS is static, it's from the previous season and only matters if you invent a time machine and go back and play those teams...what silly argument you make there. Secondly, It's pretty simple really, SOS after the season is over is also static at that point and it's the best gauge you'll ever have as to how difficult a seasons schedule was. as for your arugment on injuries, Injuries happen It's part of football, but then again show me where a star QB went down in either 2008 or 2009 after we lost to them? Your making an idiotic argument out of desperation here.
If you would just be nice I could probably PM you and spare you the humiliation but you aren't nice. The 2009 SOS link is for the teams were playing in 2009 based on what they did in 2008, how does this have any bearing on the teams we played in 2008? I posted in the other thread the ACTUAL records of the teams we played in 2008 vs. 2009. Please check that out so you don't make this basic mistake again in the future.
