00:00How often do you see that a schedule is the easiest in 47 years,

00:06the remaining Patriots schedule?

00:11McCone, you must be ready to do a victory lap now.

00:14Patriots worked hard for the schedule, man.

00:16A really, really bad year last year.

00:19Potentially suck for a long time.

00:21To stack things up.

00:23No, you got to play who's in front of you.

00:24And that is a big part of it.

00:25I don't know if this team is an 11-win team on paper

00:28and you look at it and say, you know what,

00:30this is a really, really good double-digit win team.

00:31But when you look at the teams that they're playing,

00:33I think the schedule allows you for an over-inflated win total.

00:38And take advantage of it.

00:39Absolutely.

00:41Nothing to apologize for if you're the Patriots.

00:43Play who's in front of you, beat them, and take advantage of it.

00:45This is where if you believe in their coaching,

00:47and their coaching is that much better than a lot of people,

00:49and it's a hell of a staff they put together,

00:51this is where you put this team in the right spot

00:53to really get into this game plan

00:55and start dictating things of what you're going to be.

00:58And you can do that with coaching here, this one.

01:00I think Mike's been on top of a lot of stuff.

01:02Can you just let some stuff fly that people don't like?

01:03Yeah.

01:04But that dude is coaching up and down that sideline all night,

01:07the other night.

01:07And it's been like that all year.

01:10Prior to the Buffalo game from Aaron Schatz,

01:12who used to be football outsiders, but what is he now, FTN?

01:17Yeah, I think so.

01:18Yeah.

01:18So Aaron Schatz in DVOA.

01:21Prior to the Buffalo game,

01:22the projected 2025 schedule for the Patriots

01:24was the third easiest since 1978

01:27by average DVOA of opponents.

01:30However, last week,

01:31a number of teams on the Patriots schedule

01:33had bad losses, especially the Ravens.

01:37So now their opponents average minus 17% DVOA,

01:42which would be the easiest schedule

01:44since 1978 by a wide margin.

01:48It would surpass the 1991 Bills and the 1999 Rams,

01:53who currently have the two easiest schedules

01:55since that point in time.

01:57It's the easiest NFL schedule since 1978.
