Yeah, we know Bill Parcells said "You are what your record says you are."

But which to teams do you feel are not what their record says they are?

Better than record: Cardinals only because Kyler Murray is back

Worse than record: Steelers whose luck will run out any week now. Right guys? Any week now.

We are better than our record, but our losses also show that we are not a great team.

We are consistently able to clinch defeat from the jaws of victory.

I am also a pessimistic Ravens fan, but I can still vividly see us finishing 10-7, and crashing out to someone in the WC.

Eagles are 5-1 in one score games. They arnt as bad as Vikings of 2022, it imo they are trending that direction.

[–] CPTHoagie@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

that one score game stat is meaningless unless you see how games end up in one score games. the Eagles winning 28-7 against the vikings for the Vikings to lose 34-28 with 3 seconds left in the game is not the same thing as barely winning.

Hmm I mean those 2 early season games and we’d be 6-3 right now after just beating KC and the Bills. Idk what to think.

What about the Steelers record is luck though? Haters

[–] PotentialOkay@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I mean last week Pickett threw a backwards pass that the refs called dead and then instead of looking like ass holes they decided to double down and that saved the Steelers last week. That was pretty lucky.

I mean the obvious ones, but I feel like seahawks are not a good 6-3, not with geno at the helm

Jets every game is close

[–] kid_sleepy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The Giants should not have two wins.

The Vikings been looking really good and should have more.

Eagles are better than their record. They lost to Zach Wilson for crying out loud.

Worse than their record: Pittsburgh Steelers & Philadelphia Eagles

[–] Leftieswillrule@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We should be a two win team

[–] Mattyboy064@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Worse than record: New England Patriots, bleh

Better than record: Chargers, just need to learn how to close out close games.

[–] Hour_Perspective_884@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

better than: Bengals

worse: Steelers

[–] Gnogz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The Packers are much better than their record. Especially their defense. They should sign Joe Barry to a 10 year contract.

^(Please don't look at my flair)

[–] treeheemelee@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We are worse than 2-8. We should really be 0-10. No idea how we beat the Bills, and the Jets game was pretty much the only one where Mac was anything approaching an average NFL QB.

[–] Crotean@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don't think the Eagles are as good as their record, they have come really close to dropping a couple of games. I would expect them to drop a few down the road.

I'm saying this as a lions fan, we arent as good as our record. Our defense is bad. We had some game against bad QBs, GB, LV and TB that bailed out our defense and Toney's drops saved us against KC. Its going to bite us in the ass at some point. What Baltimore, Seattle and LA did to our defense is the real D. Aaron Gleen needs to be fired.
