I can't wait for them to play the Packers next weekend. They can afford to lose the game (especially with it being played at Lambeau), but I am sure Brady, Belichick, and crew will be up for the test.

Only 10 teams in the entire NFL have played weaker schedules.

One game vs Oakland can really lower the old SOS.

Is this SOS number based on the entire season, or only the remaining schedule? Or is it the number based on the 2013 results?

That would make sense but then all 3 teams in the Raiders division have had a higher SOS than the Pats.

NE is full marks for their record and are certainly the favorite in the AFC IMO, but they really haven't played a terribly difficult schedule yet.

Won't the SOS of the better teams always get gradually lower then as the season progresses? At the beginning of the season, based on 2013 results, the Pats had the 10th toughest schedule.

edit- The Pats currently have the 6th most difficult remaining schedule. They just played the Lions, Colts, and Broncos. I wouldn't be surprised if that made it the most difficult remaining schedule a few weeks ago.

Come on Cards. I'm just happy that we've stopped the Seahawks from TD's. They've been doing the same to us though.

Still got another half to go.

If the Bronco's kicking is so bad they should just run it twice on 3rd and 1 instead of designing goofy plays.

McManus isn't cutting it. Broncos need to find another kicker that can make the simple ones at least.

Nice to see the running game finally get going. Hopefully the start of something there.

Passing game still seems a bit predictable. Teams have gotten wise to the constant audibling to bubble screens when D shows blitz. Need to add a few more plays to the arsenal methinks.

Defense took a pretty big step back today. Just can't seem to get all phases of the game going at once right now. Nice to get the win no doubt but this doesn't look like a Super Bowl team right now. Thankfully a few games to change that still and getting Julius Thomas back healthy will help.
