"Clearly, in hindsight, the Bills schedule will only have featured six games vs. teams that will likely finish much above .500 meaning that it will have been a relatively soft and easy schedule." Is this guy nuts? The average team finishes .500. There are 16 games in a season. Now let's say that four of your games are against teams with .500 records. That leaves six games against teams with winning records, and another six against teams with losing records. This is a more or less average schedule.
But the sentence I quoted wasn't about games against teams with winning records. It was about teams on pace to finish significantly above .500, which meant that the guy was able to ignore our win over Seattle. I'm pretty sure St. Louis had a winning record before we beat them. In other words, we will have had eight or more games against teams with winning records, making our schedules one of the hardest in the league. For crying out loud, we have three games against the two best teams (NE and Pitt) in the league.
