00:00so i was reading bill barnwell here earlier today he says uh and you heard some of this on the

00:04broadcast last night too pro football reference uh has this as one of the 10 easiest schedules

00:09since the merger in 1970 it's the easiest schedule in the nfl this year and so barnwell went through

00:17uh all those 10 different teams and here's how they fared in the postseason okay so the 1970

00:24dolphins for instance when really going back went 10 and 4 since the merger went 10 and 4 they lost

00:30in the divisional round of the postseason okay the 99 rams greatest show on turf and the 1970

00:36baltimore colts both won the super bowl and they had extremely easy schedules that year the 91 bills

00:43keg on offense lost in the super bowl uh in 1991 uh you have the 75 vikings that made the divisional

00:50round the bucks and jags 79 and 99 both lost in the conference championship the 2007 seahawks lost

00:57in the divisional round the 72 dolphins won the super bowl they went undefeated pretty good team

01:01uh and the patriots are next up there so you have what one two three super bowl winners and another

01:07team that lost in the super bowl or super bowl appearances yeah so that's uh i guess i keep going

01:13back to that i don't care all that much about how easy the schedule's been and i don't think it's

01:20going to foreshadow much going forward however just get ready for it if they lose that home on if they

01:26get the one seed and lose at home on divisional weekend to buffalo or they lose to the jags or

01:30something like that you're going to get that thrown in your face hell they might win a championship like

01:35the celtics did and you're going to hear about how easy the schedule is i don't think as many people

01:39will care about that it's going to get thrown in your face if you can't get it done but it doesn't

01:44mean you can't get it done the 99 rams did the 70 colts did the undefeated dolphins and 72 did and an

01:50additional team the 91 bills got to a super bowl so it doesn't predict anything about how far the

01:55patriots are going to go
