re: Realistic expectations for next year?

I thought the schedule didnt look bad myself, especially the road games.

Road outside the division-

Chargers 4-12
49ers 5-11
Giants 6-10
Chiefs 11-5
Cardinals 13-3

and the NFL is becoming more volatile each year as to who is strong or weak. Strength of schedule is one of the most meaningless stats cuz of this IMO. Examples last year...

Jets 4-12 to 10-6
Ravens 10-6 to 5-11
Chargers 9-7 to 4-12
Cowboys 12-4 to 4-12
Redskins 4-12 to 9-7
Panthers 7-8-1 to 15-1
