I noticed something weird.

The 2005 skeds for everybody in the NFC South are almost identical. I was looking at johnnyroadtrip.com just to see who Vicklanta was playing next year, and their sked on who they play is almost identical to ours.



NFC South
Atlanta
Carolina, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Green Bay, Minnesota, New England, N.Y. Jets, Philadelphia Carolina, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo, Miami, Seattle

Carolina
Atlanta, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Green Bay, Minnesota, New England, N.Y. Jets, Dallas Atlanta, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo, Miami, Arizona

New Orleans

Strange.

Actually it's not that weird, the way the new scheduling works we all play the same people except for 2 diff teams depending on how we did the year before. As an example looks at this past years schedule.

The differance mirrors the final standings within each division more or less.

IE:

Atlanta won the division so they play the division winners
Phili and Seattle

We finish third we play Dallas and Arizona.

New Orleans plays Giants & St. Louis

Tampon Bay: Washington & San Francisco

theres nothing strange about that at all, it's been like that for at least since the realignment

I guess. I never really noticed it before now.
