Steelers, Colts and Jags Easy A** Schedule

[Ox]

I am sick and damn'd tired of hearing how easy our schedule is. Also I am sick of hearing we are frauds, and not as good as the record indicates. Are we supposed to apologize for beating the teams on the schedule? This usually comes from dipsh*t Pittsburgh fans, but I've heard it from Colts and Jag fans too.

Let's take a look at their schedule in comparison to ours. For ease of comparison, I will italisize the games they have against teams who have a record of .500 or under.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE FREAKING KIDDING ME WITH THAT SH!T!!

I mean good god they are they same freaking schedules for the most part!! I dunno, to me it is a ridiculous argument. Tell me how any of these teams can smack us for our damn'd schedule? Any ideas?

[Stripes]

We get the more difficult teams at home, but for the most part, you are correct. The only reason we have been hearing all of the easy schedule talk is because we got the easy part early in the year. So far, our schedule has been unquestionably one of the easiest schedules in the NFL. Now it is getting tougher, while the other teams are getting into the easier half of their schedule.

We will still be getting most of these comments, but that simply because they were created early in the season and will live through the rest of it.

The Bengals are a very legit top 5 NFL team, they may be the 5th out of 5, but they are what they are - a very good team.

I can't really complain much about that no matter how many weakenesses and holes and skeptical opinions I have about them.

[Stripes]

Look at the remaining schedule for Jacksonville. They play Indy at home, and the rest are pushovers. They have a real chance at 11-5 or 12-4, and that is bad news for us.
