Explanation of the Charts

The strength of schedule for any team depends on the matchups that the team confronts, and therefore there are six (6) basic strength of schedule marks. Keep in mind, it is not as important to view how tough each strength of schedule is, but rather to see how the team performed against that particular strength. The star in each portion of the charts denotes successful performance against the strength. To define the portions, YP = "Total Offense," and DU = "Total Defense." These are the two most important strengths to review. The other portions denote the underpinnings of those two major portions, and they can show the team's vulnerabilities. rDU = "Rush Defense," pDU = "Pass Defense," Pass = "Team Passing," and Rush = "Team Rushing." Each team faces 16 opponents during a season, and therefore you can figure the "average opponent coming in." That "average opponent coming in" is the "in" portion of the chart. This means, the chart shows the six (6) strengths individually as they come in to play your team. However, each opponent plays against your team face-to-face, and therefore this face-to-face can be calculated as the "actual opponent performance" against your team. The "out" portion of the chart denotes this actual performance. Thus, you have success or failure, based on what the team gave up, as opposed to what came in. Only Pittsburgh placed a star in all sections of the strength examination. You can easily see where there are some outstanding performances with a Positive Relation, and some poorer ones. But, keep in mind that you must examine the strength of schedule upon which these results were cast. In that light, which team faced the most difficult schedule of any team in the playoffs overall is many times a difficult question. The offense might face a tough schedule of defenses, while the defense might face an easier schedule of offenses. In the end, it is the matchups that count, one team against the other. In the playoffs, a good set of matchups can mean the difference between winning and losing. If you are a poor team at defending the pass, you could have difficulty against a good passing team.
