Percy Harvin may need hip surgery

[SonnyCID]

Seattle just has a brutal schedule, this is not going to help.

They had a brutal schedule last year too.

Practice? Dude had a headache, skipped practice and hurt his hip tripping over his dog back at home.

They had a brutal schedule last year too.

They had like the 3rd or 4th easiest schedule in the NFC last season.

They had like the 3rd or 4th easiest schedule in the NFC last season.

They had the 12th hardest schedule in the NFL

Granted it was the 6th easiest NFC schedule but the fact that the AFC as a whole had the majority of easiest schedules, isn't anything to hold against SEA.

No they didn't. You obviously have access to the internet, let's learn how to use it ok?

Last year and this year, their pre-season SOS ranking was 11th.

They also had the highest strength of victory last year. So a tougher schedule would actually be welcome IMO.

Only the Bucs, Redskins, and Falcons had weaker SOS last season in the NFC>

Even though I hate the jets and their fans, I'll give you a little help.

First of all the Falcons, Eagles, Bucs, Redskins and Panthers all had easier schedules.

Second of all, how is it a reflection of the Seahawks when the AFC has the vast majority of easiest schedules?

The Seahawks had the 12th hardest schedule in the NFL last year.

I wish I could talk to all the Seahawk trolls on the ESPN boards who were laughing about Crabtree getting injured. Hopefully Harvin doesn't miss significant time.

Where are you seeing this? This link shows that Tampa, Washington, and Atlanta were the only ones that had easier schedules (in the NFC). They were tied with San Francisco.

The SOS you're looking at, and presumably the jets fan too, doesn't account for the wins the teams put up against their opponents.

You need to look at Adjusted SOS: A look at adjusted strength of schedules - AFC South Blog - ESPN

SOS means strength of schedule.

SOS means strength of schedule.

I was using preseason rankings as they are the only thing that we can comparé at this time.....

Sûre, those will be proven irrelevant by the end of the year. My point was that at the start of last year, their schedule was just as daunting as it is this year and they were fine.

Youre still missing buried's point. Look at his link for the adjusted SOS.

 

[redseat]

but his migraines are gone though.. right? So he's got that going for him

Uhhhhh, the only thing I will say about SOS in the NFL is that it is BS. 2 Teams can play the Exact same schedule but they cant because in week 1 only 2 teams can be on one field.

Some teams are better in October than in December. Other teams might be decent till an Injury happens. SOS takes none of this into consideration. If 2 teams play the same 16 teams, they have the same SOS.

This year the way the Schedule breaks for Seattle is Just Utterly Brutal.

At Carolina
San Fransisco
Jacksonville
At Houston
At Indianapolis
Tennessee
At Arizona
At St. Louis
Tampa Bay
At Atlanta
Minnesota
BYE
New Orleans
At San Fransisco
At New York Giants
Arizona
St. Louis

They have 6 Road Games in the first 10 weeks
At 7-9 Carolina
At 12-4 Houston
At 10-6 Indianapolis
At 5-11 Arizona
At 7-8-1 St. Louis
At 13-3 Atlanta
That is just brutal, especially since all but Houston have improved.

Then that is followed up by a 4 game stretch vs
Minnesota
New Orleans
At San Fransisco
At New York Giants

If the Seahawks are 3-11 or 4-10 I would not be Shocked.

Heard all those same things last year.

And yeah, those teams improved on paper, but so did Seattle.
