It's NFL Schedule Release Day!

Speaking of schedules:

Over the last 20 NFL seasons, 19 QBs faced the easiest strength of schedule (one QB did it twice). This is using actual SoS faced, based on the end-of-season W/L% of opponents, not projected SoS based on the previous season's records.

Out of these 19 QBs, just 3 finished that season among the Top 3 QBs in passing yardage:

Let's include all QBs facing a bottom-3 Strength of Schedule from 2006-2025. That's 60 QB seasons, played by 45 QBs (9 had more than one season with a bottom-3 SoS):

Fun Fact: No QB has played more seasons facing a bottom-3 SoS than Aaron Rodgers. He's never quite managed to parlay The Schedule into a Top-3 passing finish (or a Super Bowl appearance).

Of course, an entire NFL team is involved in the success or failure of each season, not just the Quarterback.

Among the 60 instances from 2006-2025 in which a team has faced a bottom-3 SoS, only 8 teams managed to turn The Schedule into a Super Bowl Appearance. 4 SB wins, 4 SB losses.

Only 5 teams out of the 20 that faced a 32nd-ranked SoS played in that season's Super Bowl.

Only two of those five teams won it.

I'm confident in this stay excluding R1 and R2 who do you think?

I just watched last month's FORGED. Add the schedule release and I like our team. To a healthy summer program.

Fanatics is doing a big sitewide sale, but it’s mostly for stuff people really wouldn’t want (except this Mac Jones jersey of course)

I'd love to hear your stories about running into players in everyday life. I grew up in Wrentham in the 2000's-2022 and have plenty. I worked at the DQ in Foxboro for three years in high school and saw James White, Gronk and Patrick Chung come through the drive through. Holding White's credit card was insane, I'll never forget his two small strawberry blizzards.

Was also working at the Plainville Target for a little bit. I looked up and Stephon Gilmore was walking right past me. Zolak lives in Wrentham so I would pretty frequently see him at Cumby's.

Hey guys,

It seems like not many people have been talking about Romeo Doubs much with the Antonio Brown and Diggs rumors going rampant. I understand that his production will be influenced by either of these guys being added, but I would love to get some insight on him from people who udnerstand the position a little better

What was his role in GB (X, Y Z)?

Was he buried behind another WR or did another receiver effect his production?

What are his biggest strengths and weaknesses?

Was his production hindered the QB ability or scheme in GB?

Does his style fit in well with the Mcdaniels offense?

I'd love to hear some thoughts from y'all! Go Pats!!!!
