You can't ignore the schedule in 2010 and then use it as an excuse in 2011.

The schedule was very soft last year, anyone that says different has their head buried in the sand.

Give me the NFC West every year please, 40% of the team's win total. They may not win a single game against the NFC this year, it would not surprise me.

So that right there could be the difference between 10-6 and 6-10.

As NJ said, good teams beat other good teams.

If this team has as much talent as some people think, and are "turned around" as others think, there's no reason to win fewer than 9 games.

and???? It sure the hell beats losing to those same shitty teams. If Oakland had swept the NFC West, they'd have been division champs, same goes for the Bolts. No game is a gimme in the NFL. I'm as much tired as the "tough schedule" BS as I am the "weak schedule" one. You play who your dealt and take care of business.
