So do the Rams have the pull to play the Hawks at CLink in Week One next year?
 
Much of that has to do with their division. The Jets, Dolphins & Bills just have not been strong. Every year one team surprises and it was nice to see the Dolphins beat them on Monday Night, however, is anyone going to take the Bills, Dolphins or Jets over the Patriots? IMO, that is why the Pats have had it easy, their division with those three teams have been a joke and Brady & Belichick has faced 750 different combinations at Head Coach in QB in that joke of a division.


The whole AFC has been weak for years, but it isn't like the top team plays their conference and then games against the previous years next best 10 teams. It doesn't work that way. Playing a winning teams schedule is a myth.
 
I’ve heard fans of other teams say “wait till the Rams play a first place schedule next year”, which is an incredibly stupid thing to say, and here’s why:

• every team has to play their division games, plus one division in each conference. That means that the “first place schedule” affects TWO games out of the season.

• this year, our “last place schedule” netted us games against the Vikings and Saints. Enough said lol

Yep. Your friends don’t know what they’re talking about.
That’s been the case for years.
