    Strength of schedule is useless.Before last season started Kansas City was one of the worst teams at 2-14 and most fans in the early going thought it could be an automatic win.Same goes for the Arizona Cardinals who were 5-11 so most fans would've also marked that one down also as a pretty easy win.However we lost to both Kansas City who finished the year 11-5 and lost to Arizona who finished the year 10-6.

    Now before we all go marking down Cleveland for an easy win this year those guys have really improved on defense and all they need on offense is a QB they have some weapons.I think Cleveland will be one of those teams that are much improved.

    Ok, like I said, not the best statistic, but it isn't useless.

    "Any given Sunday blah blah..."

    I don't underestimate our ability to lose to bad teams, but I would sure as hell rather play a season full of Jags instead of Seahawks. If SOS didn't matter at all, we might as well flip a coin instead of play the games.

    Not fair to assume all teams are built equally.

    It matters a little.. yea there will be some surprise teams, but its nice to have 2x vs Jags, 2x vs Texans... Browns, Jets..home games vs Dallas, NYG & Pit should be very winnable..

    I'll be pretty disappointed if we aren't at least 5-3 at home..

    Strength of schedule in April means jack. When the season kicks off everything changes. The Texans wont be a 2-14 team in 2014, Jaguars wont be a 4-12 team either.

    And before last season the chiefs were an easy win and made for easy of strength of schedule.

    And the falcons wouldve been a loss and made for difficult strength if schedule.

    You don't play any team 16 times.

    So again, strength of sched in nfl is meaningless

    Like I said, it obviously isn't a good barometer. It also isn't useless.

    If I polled all fans and said your team can play the Jags twice or the Seahawks twice, or "Who cares it doesn't matter" as a third option...

    I'm going to go on a limb and say just about everyone would pick the Jags.
