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.
I think the Packers are actually SLIGHTLY, EVER SO SLIGHTLY, better than our record implies. Most of our games, even the disappointing loss to Detroit where they embarrassed us, is a Romeo Doubs not abandoning his route and Quay Walker jump away from being a 27-30 game instead of 20-34. Theyve also battled back in every game to be in scoring position at the end of the game. They just don’t have the experience and cohesion on offense to actually win those games and Joe Barry is the Defensive Coordinator.
I equally thing packers are better AND worse than the record implies. Doesn’t make sense but watching games this season I can see an easy argument for both sides.
No you’re actually right on the mark. Because imo the offense is better than the record implies, but the defense is far worse than the record too. We’ve just played god awful offenses. Bears, Falcons, Saints before the Jags game, Raiders, Broncos, and Steelers plus Ripien’s Rams. Vikings with half a game without Cousins and absolutely no Jefferson? We’ve played one real offense and they hung 34 on us.
It’s hard, because you’re trying to analyze the quality of a team when they’re absolute dog shit for the first half, and respectable the second
Not vs the Steelers though! Progress! But I agree. If they play 4 full quarters every week they’re probably 6-3 right now, objectively. Because they definitely don’t lose to the Raiders or Broncos, probably beat the Vikings, keep it really close to the Lions, and still lose to the Falcons and Steelers (except probably not if they get that fumble call right or don’t miss the PAT) but like Jordan Love has played like a top 12 QB in the 2nd half at times, he’s also played like a horrible backup for half of half of his games. Not to mention OLine variance and playmakers only getting open in the second half, it’s such a weird bizzare way to evaluate anyone. Hopefully by January we see the “real” Packers
if yall had a better qb i would agree. he can’t hit the broad side of a barn. he’s not even the 4th best qb in this division, that’s how bad his play has been. so much talent on that roster
If that’s your opinion you’re objectively wrong. I know I’m a packers fan so I’m of course biased. The Steelers game and Rams games he was 100x better with accuracy and his deep ball. I think he’s too much in his head. Hopefully more experience and he gets out of it. He has the arm talent, but he LOOKS like he’s thinking and he just needs to rip it. He’s objectively better than Fields. But Goff is definitely number 1 in the division. People keep forgetting the dude hasn’t played real football in 4 fucking years, he’s played 12.5 games and some garbage time since he played in December of 2019. Gotta give him the season and next before we make any finalized judgments. He’s playing better than Fields and fields has 3 seasons on him starting.
