We only beat one team with a winning record this season

[gettlemanjack]

on our current 4 game win streak, we beat:

7-9 Browns

7 9 Saints

6-10 Falcons

2-14 Bucs

earlier we beat:

11-5 Lions (in Week 2, on the road)

5-11 Bears

2-14 Bucs

and we tied the 10-5-1 Bengals

because of the division we play in, we jumped 7 teams with better records and get to go to the playoffs:

10-6 Eagles

9-7 Houston

9-7 Chiefs

9-7 Chargers

9-7 Bills

8-8 Dolphins

8-8 49ers

Our opponents outscored us 374 to 339 this season, for a neg 35 point differential, which is #23 in the NFL (bottom ten), behind:

155 - Patriots

140 - Seahawks

138 - Packers

128 - Broncos

115 - Cowboys

107 - Ravens

89 - Colts

74 - Eagles

72 - Chiefs

68 - Steelers

65 - Texans

54 - Bills

39 - Lions <-------------we beat them

21 - Bengals <-------------we tied them

15 - Dolphins

11 - Cardinals <-------------not very good

0 - Chargers

neg 18 - Vikings

neg 20 - Giants

neg 23 - Saints <-------------we went 1-1 against them

neg 30 - Rams

neg 34 - 49ers

neg 35 - Panthers

neg 36 - Falcons <-------------we went 1-1 against them

neg 38 - Browns <-------------we beat them

our QB, Cam Newton, is bottom half of the league across the board:

#19 in passing TD (tied with Kyle Orton and Alex Smith)

#21 in passing ypg

#21 in passing yds

#26 in passer rating

we have the #19 scoring offense and the #20 scoring D, both bottom half of the league

so are you sure this is the season you want to proclaim Gettleman a genius? Why not just wait until we are one of the better teams in the league? If/when that happens, you won't have to trip all over yourself trying to make Gettleman look good, we will all already be happy then

are you sure keeping Rivera as our coach is a good idea? And now there are even people coming out praising Shula. Seriously? The guy has been a lousy OC every year he has been an NFL OC, including this year.

We only beat one team with a winning record this season

EDIT:

as a reminder, we have had better records than the one we had this

year.

1996 - 12-4

1999 - 8-8

2003 - 11-5

2005 - 11-5

2006 - 8-8

2008 - 12-4

2009 - 8-8

2013 - 12-4

People here act like we're the Raiders and are amazed that we had a

7-win season, like we did in 1995, 1997, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2007, 2012

the only times we failed to get 7 wins in our 20 seasons in franchise

history were:

1998 - 4-12

2001 - 1-15

2010 - 2-14

2011 - 6-10

After we win the SuperBowl all this will go away.

[cbarrier90]

And they're about to win this franchise its first playoff game in a decade against a mediocre QB...

[WhoAmI?]

Our record as of now is 0-0. It's a new season pimp. Anything can happen.

[ser23vp]

You forgot we was in tank mode losing between 4-6 games on purpose. Fortunately the division sucks so we started winning and won enough to make the playoffs. If we were not in tank mode, we could have beat some of those winning teams.

[TheRed]

We did what we needed to do in order to win the division, that's what matters.

 

My concern right now is beating Arizona, I think some people here are downplaying them. Don't get over confident guys.

[nosuchthingasapanther]

what's the reason for this thread?

i don't understand. i have playoffs on the brain.

[The Saltman]

We lost to the Seahawks by 4 pts while our secondary was slow and injured and our oline still had amini and Chandler in.

 

I think we have a chance and I think Gettleman has done a good job with what he had.

[Snake]

Our record as of now is 0-0. It's a new season pimp. Anything can happen.

With a healthy QB and line.

one thing I do know is................records and stats are meaningless at this point and time.

Thank you! I don't like all these people (including media) favoring us like we are going to roll over the Cardinals. They have a nasty defense that could win it for them on its own. And I'm pretty sure Lindley just passed for over 300 yards so obviously he isn't that bad. I'm just staying at a medium level, not too high and not too low.

This is not the time of year or the situation to worry about such things. There is an entire offseason for this....just pretend to enjoy your team for at least this week.

[WhoAmI?]

With a healthy QB and line.

 

And a aggressive, young secondary that is balling. The defense as a whole is coming together. Not to mention a healthy J-Stew (knock on wood) running wild. Pair that with what you said and I think we have a damn good chance. Gonna be tough against that defense though.

My brother is a Cardinals fan living in Phoenix. He's already conceded the loss.....their QBs suck ass.
