WE ALMOST WON!

What is the point of this?

Ask Greg Hardy:

“When you lose this much, it doesn’t really matter about the one play. You just want the overall result,” defensive end Greg Hardy said.

“After (five) losses like that, you get over stats. You get over the good plays. You get over the good drives. You get over the good three quarters. It’s about winning. I don’t care if you win badly. I’d rather have no stats, no tackles, no stats and win than be like this.

“Almost doesn’t count, man. Hand grenades and horseshoes, right?”

“We’ve gotta go out there and get some respect,” Hardy said. “I know a lot of people don’t respect us. They shouldn’t respect us. We need to play and not lay down.”

Do you ever have an actual point to make? Other than just making fun of others?

If you do, I'm sure I speak for many here when I say it would be nice to hear it.

We are in pretty much every game we play, just can't ever finish on top. That has to with a young coach, and a young QB. Nothing against Cam, he is the only reason we even keep games close. But there are a lot of other little issues contributing to the problem. It's nice to know that we can compete with some of the best teams but it doesn't matter if we can't win. One point losses are just as bad as 50 point losses.

I will say, we better enjoy these 3 point losses because it's gonna be a while before we see a close game that we have a chance to win.

@CHI is gonna be absolutely miserable

@WASH will be interesting, but RG3 is playing amazing for a rookie and he will be impossible to stop

vs DEN I think this will be awful. Peyton Manning vs Norman/Munnerfug/Thomas? Really? REALLY?

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
