The Whole NFC West is in the top 8. Facing three teams within our division that had 10 or more wins is going to bump up out strength of schedule. Ad rightfully so. These are good teams, and hell, even the bottom of the NFC West(Rams) could easily be at the top of many other divisions through the league. We are in the best division in the NFL hands down, and that is what makes our strength of schedule so high.
For the foreseeable future, until one of those teams declines drastically, we will continue to have a strength of schedule that high.
Do is wish it was lower? of course. Am I going to worry about it? Not really. The year before last we dominated the division at 4-1-1(not so much outside of it), and last year we kinda laid a deuce and went 1-5. Things change yearly. No one thought we'd win the SB in 99. Anything can happen any year, and if we win a few more games in the division this year and outside of it, we can make the playoffs easy. It will be hard, but anything worth doing is. Winning is never easy, no matter who you are.
As what Waganer says, yes it will be hard, its the NFC West for fucks sake. But we can do it, I have no doubt about it.
