No I didn't. I said by win %. I mentioned SOS because before the "new" scheduling that we currently have, there was a MUCH different way the NFL scheduled games. Youre probably too young to know about that which is why you didn't get what I was saying. I was mentioning SOS in the PAST as a complicating factor that makes it even harder to do these "all time" comparisons....because that would be a factor that changes the win % stat. Also the bye week changes over the years have messed up any real study of this due to the randomness of when you get your rest week.
Much easier to do an "all time" study when there was no bye week or everyone had the same bye week or the bye week was 1-2 weeks in the middle...unlike the current system. All of these factors are more evidence why I think its impossible to "prove" this 6 game stretch was the "toughest of ALL TIME".. (especially when your primary evidence is win %)
edit:
Current System : 14 pre-determined games, and only 2 games scheduled based on the previous year's standngs
Previous Systems: much more complex with many more variables:
