49ers had easiest schedule last season

by the evil monkey on Jan 21, 2009 11:16 PM PST

was checking out draft positions and noticed we had the lightest schedule at .447 - so another inflated 7-9 season? though Singletary got this team playing better than Nolan, this could be another warning sign that this team is still in the bottom 8 in terms of actual talent. no matter how thorough the coaches are, when you have McClueless at the helm drafting average players, you're not going to succeed... on the bright side, even Kiper gets lucky some times so maybe McClueless will too.

Not to mention...

we played the Rams (2-14) and Hawks (4-12) twice which adds up to 12-52 right there (they get counted twice) and is more than a 1/3 of our opponents losses. And the Cards fell asleep at the end of the season when they only needed 1 game to secure the division and after they won it. But obviously they are a lot better than their record shows. So I don’t think you can look just at the opp. win % and say our 7-9 season is infalted.

Arizona won 1 non conference nfc game and they are in the superbowl. Wins are wins.

According to the comminsioner of the nfl, 104 people retired last year. 7 due to age, and the rest because of Patrick Willis

I declare you Sanchez.

I’ve never understood why you don’t take out the record of the team when looking at opponents record. So, in the case of the Lions, their opponents record would be 127-113. Or would it just not matter?
