Just so we are clear our record was 8-8 (.500) last year.

[HHURRICANE]

Can we agree that the Pats game, in NE, would have been a loss if it mattered. And for those who think we just missed the playoffs even 10-6 wouldn't have made the cut.

The Bills were 3 games away last year. That's a big number. And before you tell me about the Chiefs and Texans, let's think about all the games where we pulled a rabbit out of our hat or we had some things go our way. That's football.

This team with a few more additions and tweaks looks like a very good 10-6 team. Look at the teams that made the playoffs last year and tell me the one with the below average QB.

Sigh.

And how about games they just lost? Can those be counted as wins, just like the ones they just lost you want to count as losses?

And who's to say 10-6 won't make the playoffs this year?

Your application of logic to this argument is weak. Very weak

There are a lot of reasons to wonder if this team will really contend for the playoffs.

Discounting games they won, saying they pulled a rabbit out to win games, and discounting that other teams that improved by 3 games is silly.

Use real reasons. Not fake ones.

I did use logic. The Pats gave us a free game. 8-8. Last year 10-6 still wouldn't have made the playoffs.

What's confusing?

I think it was explained.

First off, you're assuming that 10-6 doesn't make it this year, which is faulty logic.

Second, you want people to ignore that teams DO improve by 3 games in a year all the time.

Without a QB there won't be any playoffs.

Let's hope EJ has improved.

More like 6-10. We had no business winning that Detroit or Minnesota game.

Well, 5-11.

I mean Rodgers played so poorly it was a fluke.

And if you think about it, Miami so soundly beat them the second time around it's clear that the win against them was pure emotion.

So in reality it was 4-12.

Which, in " Reality " means the Cleveland pick we traded away for Watkins was top 3-4....which means " OMG ! WE COULD HAVE DRAFTED WINSTON OR MARIOTA !!! "

Brady played and was very ineffective. I don't concede that game.

I never said that 10-6 wouldn't make the playoffs this year...NEVER SAID IT.

I said it wasn't good enough last year.

Re: Just so we are clear our record was 8-8 (.500) last year.

The point of my thread is that alot of people here think we were one game from the playoffs....we weren't.

Re: Just so we are clear our record was 8-8 (.500) last year.

This is such a douche-y thread its unbelievable. As others have said, some games are given somewhat intentionally (sitting starters) and some are given unintentionally (massive amounts of turnovers) - that doesnt change your record.

With this logic, the Seahawks are actually the Super Bowl champions right now since they SHOULD have run the ball with Beastmode and scored, right?

I don't I've seen many people say that.

Can you point who has said and how it constitutes "a lot"?
