Seahawks 2017 strength of schedule is 25th hardest!

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2017- ... e-of-doom/
Looks like the NFL GODS have blessed the hawks with a little lighter load this year!
Hope we stay healthy and kick some #@%! We have had a top 5 (or so) hardest S.O.S. the last few years.
Only 7 teams with an easier schedule in 2017!

Home: DATES HAVE NOT BEEN SET!
Arizona Cardinals
Los Angeles Rams
San Francisco 49ers
Philadelphia Eagles
Washington Redskins
Houston Texans
Indianapolis Colts
Atlanta Falcons

Away: DATES HAVE NOT BEEN SET!
Arizona Cardinals
Los Angeles Rams
San Francisco 49ers
Dallas Cowboys
New York Giants
Jacksonville Jaguars
Tennessee Titans
Green Bay Packers

On paper it seems like good news but teams can change so much in the off season it's hard to really tell how tough it will be.

One game at a time etc.

Green Bay and Dallas away are tough. Giants as well. Those will be very difficult games. Atlanta and Houston look like tough home games.

Giants seem like an on again off again type of team. Pretty sure it is their year to be off.

A lot of potential 10am games on that list.

I bet only the Jags and Titans end up as 10 am games.

Apparently players are unable to plan accordingly, even when they know six months in advance. :roll:

I could make a solid case for every team except San Fran and to a lesser extent Washington to make the playoffs.
That to me is not an easy schedule at all. But like others have said only time will tell.

You cannot accurately rank strength of schedule before the season starts, only at seasons end . This is like ranking the draft right after it happens....useless discussion other than click bait.

And yet here are a bunch of people discussing it regardless...

Obviously its subjective. Don't think anyone's misinformed there.

Yes, and there are people discussing exactly when Mt Rainier will go off as well. Many call that blowing smoke. It's worth looking at, but not hanging your hat on IMO.

Not entirely true. We know before the season that a schedule with the Browns on it is easier than a schedule without the Browns on it.

LOL. Well, gotta admit you make a debate difficult there. My main point is all the teams on top from 2016 will not be there in 2017. Same with the teams on bottom.....except the Browns. :mrgreen:

Yes, some people will for certain. Vegas loves these people and makes a fortune off them.

And my name is not Jesus, but thank you. :179422:

So... this thread should be ignored because you think "some people will for certain?"

seems logical...
