Which is calculated based on the 2006 W/L records... |
I read the article, and I really don't need you to tell me what to read again and again if you can't understand the concept that the 2007 sos is based on your opponents win/loss percentage in 2007 and not 2006. I can't help you The sos you are looking at is
old and is used to create the schedule for 2007 and the draft for last year. when was that article April??? Enough said
if you still don't understand let me break it down. The problem is the sos for this year and this years draft is based on the winning percentage of your opponents in this year 2007, not the 2007 sos. The fact that a team plays Chicago was great last year and sucked this year will not help your SOS when its looked at after the season is over.
Pats do not have a .535 they have a .473. My friend that pat's did not have the 3rd hardest sos in 2008 its impossible in their divisions. I was correcting someone's comments, its qa mute point because they don't make there schedule. The major point is that it is well above Miami's sos when they were perfect.
The simple fact is that if the Patriots win the super bowl, they beat the best of the best, that is what the playoff does. That accomplishment will be up there with one of the greatest feats ever in sports, definetly the best football feat ever.
This thread has gotten way off line, people said that BB is the greatest and that is what I debated. people are saying i keep saying no dynasty and sos is weak. I didn't say that I am just correcting some of you.
Bottom line if you go undefeated in regular and post season no one can ever say a word, including myself and then I would have to give BB the nod over Knowles/Lombardi/Gibbs/Landry as the greatest greatest coaches ever.
