Why our record IS impressive

Simply put - strength of schedule.

We lost to 3 clear play off / division leaders and two "solid" teams.

They have a combined 39 and 21 record.

None of the games were "blow outs" and in each loss we "lost the game" more then we got beat.. The Tamp Bay game was the soundest defeat, even though it was close score wise, then the Tennessee game. (where we had 4 turnovers)

I'd also like to point out the we BEAT the saints on the road, and Jacksonville.

Having said that... Sure I wish we had a prettier record right now but I am happy over all. Let's keep it going and beat Detroit to get to that aesthetically pleasing 8 and 5.

From there we can fantasize about 11-5 or 10-6
Which is pretty hot after starting out 1-3 !!
