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.

    The giants are way better than their record. I encourage them to maintain their current coaching staff and GM, give their strength and conditioning coaches a raise, and ensure Daniel Jones is signed to an even longer extension. You got this guys.

      The way I see it, your team this year is more dangerous than a few years back when you started 11-0. That team was never going to make any noise when it mattered. If this team makes the playoffs, look out. Do I think you’ll win the Super Bowl? No. But could I see an upset or two? Absolutely. As stacked as the AFC is this year, no team is untouchable.

      I’m more concerned about that now with al the injuries. I was okay with what we were before because I felt the defense was more important and that the offense would get better through the year like last year.

      But now, the injuries to the MLB spot…yikes… the run defense was already in peril. If we don’t find a way to plug up the holes missing on defense, I don’t know how we will win games.

      The offense is starting to do more but the d is fading fast. The pass rush isn’t getting home anymore and the back end isn’t holding up well.

        This is where people keep saying “worst 6-3”, “worst 11-0”, “worst 9-8” really just means the coaching is substantially impacting outcomes.

        Mike T drags that “high end talent” to wins in the ugliest way and he’ll beat your team to do it. The amount of times losing to the Steelers has sent other teams fan bases into a tailspin is poetic.

      Offensively, good for the first two drives, shit for the rest of the game until another brief moment of competency in the last 3 minutes.

      Defense is good though, and we usually ask too much of them.

        That’s just ridiculous. Yes, our offense is abysmally bad. But it’s not like our defense just doesn’t count for anything. We’ve pulled off enough “flukes” by way of turnovers and defensive stops that they stop being flukes at this point. And, to their credit, our offense is protecting the ball as well or better than any other team in the league not named the Chargers and preventing us from straight-up losing the game each week.

        No, we are not as good as the other 6+ win teams. But we are clearly putting a complete team with an actual game plan on the field every week, which is more than the Packers, Bears, other 3 win teams can say right now.

      Kenny Pickett.

      Great last name for a bad QB. Amazing on how you guys keep winning when he only threw 2 tubs or more once in his entire career.

    Worse Record The Seahawks can beat bad teams, but they get blown out against good teams.

    Better Record Bengals are still an AFC threat despite their record.

      I mean yeah we’re worse than our record indicates, the play is just so sloppy but I don’t think I’d say we’ve been blown out by good teams.

      We’ve lost three games, one to the rams, McVay is Carroll’s kryptonite so that’s to be expected. Another to the Bengals, and that was a close game, if we actually did something in the red zone the Hawks win that comfortably. Then we got shat on by the Ravens. But so did the Lions, who no one is saying is worse.

    PHI is quite good, but worse than 8-1. Ironically they could easily be 9-0 if Hurts doesn’t throw the worst interception of his career.

    My biased opinion is the Ravens are better than their record suggests. But we just love falling apart and not closing out games. So maybe we are as good as our record suggests?

      After 10 games, the Ravens are in the top 5 for trailing the least amount of times in a season. The other 4 teams are 10-0. The Ravens are 7-3. The Ravens have trailed the third least amount of time of any team in history thus far. They are the “best” of the underrated.

      I feel the opposite about the Eagles. They somehow almost blow teams away and almost blow the game simultaneously. Every week, there’s a moment in the 4th quarter where it looks like the game could slip away, but so far, only 1 has.
      I’m not sure if that makes us good or bad, I just know we’re 8-1 and I’m trying to enjoy it without thinking to much about it.

    According to a lot of analytics, the Ravens should be undefeated. Bills at 5-5 seems exactly right.

      Eh bills are somehow better and worse than their record at the same time. A play or two in each of the losses could have been the difference, but they also barely won a few like the giants and bucs

      It’s crazy that of the top 5 teams that have had the least time trailing in games over the last 40 years, 4 of those teams were 10-0 and the Ravens of this year are 7-3

    I do not think we are good enough for it, but we are like a few of plays away from being anywhere from 5-4 to 7-2. The missed PI call on the two point conversion against the commanders. Missed FG against the raiders. The fumble TD against the Jets that sealed the game(futhest fetched one cause we’d still have to move 30 yards down the field to be in FG range just to tie it with like 40 seconds left.)

    Oh and who could forget the missed legendary 51-point play against the Dolphins.

      we’re also a few plays away from being 1-8. We should’ve lost to the Bears (took that really bad fourth down call for us to win) and we easily could’ve lost to the Packers, Chiefs and Bills

      we’re one of the 28 teams that have been winning/losing on very close margins
