The Cardinals have found yet another way to be embarrassing:

I would walk a mile every Thursday to the drug store that carried PFW, then loiter in the store and look for the little paragraph about how the Cardinals lost again. When I could afford to actually buy an issue, I'd chart all the stats on graph paper and convince myself that the Cardinals...
Well this is fun. The Athletic put out some #content today on "NFL offseason winners and losers".
Their winners were the Rams, Ravens, Browns, Cowboys, and Raiders.

Aha, so saying something positive about your current "boss" is utterly meaningless.
The article is partially right, in that the schedule sets up for the team to have an awful record all the way through the bye week, opening up an opportunity for Beck to start four games vs. a much easier slate after the bye. That could be the worst possible scenario, as (a) it could make Beck...
It's not really an analysis, it's just a list based on statistics, so I don't think there's anything "fair" or "unfair" about it - it simply illustrates which defenses have been the best and worst over the last 5 years.
The difference between Washington and Houston is 30 TDs, not 15. That seems...
