New Englands Cupcake Schedule

How can you say Denver will lose with Manning running the offense? If your going to base your predictions and strength of schedule from the past then you have to like Manning's chances with the broncos. Great running game, good wrs, and a better defense than what he had with the colts........thats not going to be an easy "cupcake" game.

Broncos great running game with Tebow.....

Pretty much. There's no conspiracy, it's the same format for all of the teams. It just so happens that the AFC East drew two easy divisions to play. New York, Buffalo, and Miami are pretty much playing the same exact teams, minus the two teams in their conference who they have to play based on the position in the division that they finished last year.

I know there is no conspiracy. I was simply pointing out the NE has an easy road this year.

Really? Absolutely brutal schedule after the bye. But this isn't about the Giants, it's about New Englands schedule. If you compare the two then you tell me who has the tougher road.

Giants won the chip and by in large they should have the most difficult schedule.

I think the Giants will be at 8-2 possibly 9-1 at the bye, and really only seeing GB and BAL giving them trouble after the bye.
NE's is easier, but I think BUF and SEA will give them a tough game this year. Just about everyone else they face is in rebuild mode.

lol then doesn't the entire AFC East have an easy road?

I guess, but for the sake of the argument/discussion I chose the most prominent team in the division.

I thought the same thing with the Eagles last year...then we lost to Alex Smith, Ryan Fitzpatrick, John Skelton, and Tarvaris Jackson

In 2010, looking at the NE schedule during pre-season, i thought they had the hardest schedule that year. Same with Jets

The Jets twice
Minny - with Farve
GB - with Rogers (who was later injured)
Chicago
Indy with healthy Manning
Pittsburgh
Baltimore
San Diego

NE beat all those teams (split the jets) and ended up 14-2 and who did they lose to? ***ing Cleveland. lol

The strength of schedule is all based on what division you have to play.

If Brady or Gronk go down in preseason, is it still an easy road?

Gotta figure they deserved at least a little break with the way they folded when it mattered most.
