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.

Steelers are a 3 win team at best. Just awful.

Name a team, ever, with 3 wins and a +10 turnover differential through 9 games.

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.
