I like our chances next year based on the schedule we have.

We've managed to get to 10-6 this year despite having 14 players on IR and we've actually had the hardest/highest strength of schedule of any of the play-off teams this year along with being one of the youngest teams in the league.

Next Years Schedule
Home- Vikes (W), Bears (W), Lions (W), Saints (L), Bucs (W), Broncos (W), Raiders (W), Rams (W)
Away- Vikes (L), Bears (L), Lions (W), Falcons (L), Panthers (W), Chargers (W), Chiefs (W), Giants (W)

12-4 IMO. We've gone 4-2 in the division every year since McCarthy has been HC. We could possibly drop the Chargers and Giants away but I fancy no worse that 10-6.

If you mean from last seasons(2009) records you haven`t actually, but I haven`t seen this years cumilative records so if you mean that then I apologise

This year. Our strength of schedule this year is the highest of any of the teams in the play-offs. (I think Detroits is the highest overall).

Thats what i read anyway. It says it on the ESPN website about the draft orders.

This year you had the 22nd hardest strength of schedule according to the nfl.com schedule maps, don`t forget it goes off all your opponents cumilative records from the year before, so this years counts towards next years strength of schedule.

I have confused myself now

Think our's was 7th. The Cowboys being shat, has helped us though.

Giants

10-6

Only 13 records due to division games

94-114

Bit sh*t really.

Packers

110-98

Patriots

107-101

Packers was tougher.

Aye I was getting my years mixed up for some reason! Must be the new year





I was looking at the strength of schedule for the beginning of last year (which I thought St Conroy was on about before)

If you swapped St.Louis to the East for Tampa that would be about right. But Jerry Jones would have a cardiac arrest as he thought about filling that stadium for home games against those 3.

For Indy's attempt to get to their own Super Bowl...

Home:
Jacksonville, Houston, Tennessee, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Carolina, Kansas City

Away:
Jacksonville, Houston, Tennessee, Baltimore, Cincinatti, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, New England

Going to be really tough on the road next year, although 4-4 would be nice (the divisional and a bit of revenge at the Superdome!) although we'll see, injuries this year were shocking and we're still 10-6.

I'd go one better than this and predict an 11-5 from that, add in the huge carrot of the Super Bowl being a home game.

It's a lot tougher than it has been this year that's for sure. Hopefully we'll stay relatively injury free next year and we should have a decent record come the playoffs.

Hopefully 2011 will have a season as long as the CBA is sorted out quickly.

Looks a hard schedule there so you'll need all players fit all season looking at that.

It won't matter who you have as head coach, if the GM isn't given the money to spend to recruit/retain better players then you just won't be successful.

IIRC Cleveland have one of the lowest salary spends in the NFL historically.

I think the Browns do spend less than anyone else and that'll be even more now that the owner owns Aston Villa too.

The Patriots don't really spend that much money though do they, and they've had an extended period of success.

Also if you look at it from the other side of things, the Redskins have spent a shed load of money in free agency with Dan Snyder but they've won bugger all.

It's more about making smart moves and sometimes getting a bit of luck along the way.

Where the Patriots are smart is that they don't really go out and spend big on Free Agents, tossing away guaranteed money. The last one I can remember was Adalius Thomas.

They are more prepared to trade for players such as Corey Dillon and Randy Moss. And they have an enviable habit of being able to buy low and sell high....such as Randy Moss, Richard Seymour, Matt Cassell, Mike Vrabel and Deion Branch.

They also look to have 5 of the first 74 picks in the 2011 draft. Oakland's #17 1st rounder and Carolina's #33 the first pick of the 2nd round.

This is why they stay successful.

We have 2 picks in each of the first 4 rounds plus a bunch of lower round picks, we will end up trading a few for more picks in the following draft so we have more then.
Bill Belichick is a genius if he doesn`t see a player he wants he trades to move down the order, this helps us get more picks and pay a lot less to players that we draft.
He is also a very good judge of when a player is done in his system, sure he comes across as a grumpy old git but everyone loves playing for him, the ones that don't get moved on aslong as we get the compensation he thinks they are worth.

If we can draft a few good pass rushers in this draft or maybe even pick some up in free agency we will be far better than we have this year, I reckon will will pickup some more Wide recievers and maybe even another RB too if the price is right

12-4, 2nd AFC seed that's what we we're two years ago! Hoping to making it Sixburgh- has a nice ring too it! Wanna play KC too so I can wind up my mate who is a Chiefs fan

Chiefs won't make it past the wild card IMO. Worst team in the playoffs not including Seattle.

Not helped them with Weiss anouncing he's going to Florida next season but I still think they are ahead of where they thought they'd be this season.They'll probably lose to the Ravens more due to the fact of how good the Ravens are than how bad the Chiefs are.

I'm not so sure, the Ravens should win but if the Chiefs can get their run game going the Ravens could be in trouble IMO, their Defense is not as good as it once was, on the other hand if the Chiefs run game doesn't work and they are forced to throw the ball more Ed Reed will probably end up with a few more picks to his name and win them the game.

Sugar Bowl tonight, go Buckeyes!

What time and is it on ESPN?

Also how many bowls are left and which bowl is the top one so to speak?

Sorry for all the questions but I'm trying to get into college football now I have ESPN

Just purchased myself a PS3 and have NCAA 11 on order. Meant to be considerably better than Madden 11 so I'm looking forward to it.
