"Since 1978 when the NFL went to a 16-game schedule, and excluding the abbreviated season of 1982, teams that are victorious [in their first game] are more than twice as likely to reach the playoffs than losers of their first game."

The data: Of the 442 first-game winners, 233 went to the playoffs. Of the 442 first-game losers, 103 went to the playoffs.

I also said 8-8 many times and tried to explain to all of our "fellow huddlers" that our team wasnt great this year. but everyone was so sure our panthers were going 16-0. "NOPE we don't need OLine depth, nope its only preseason it doesnt count, we can just flip the switch in regular season..."

Whether our D is better then expected or not, theres no way we can compete with the top tier teams week in and week out. We will have great games, but far to many forgetable ones like yesterday

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Teams do some super stupid stuff with mid-fairly good QBs. I think they are just absolutely terrified they will be stuck with a QB that is not the quality of the QB they have now, even if its someone like Daniel Jones. Lots of trash QBs go in the first round. I encourage you to take a look at the sad, sad list of first round QBs in the last 15 years.

      No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.
