Someone pointed out recently that DA is 1-11 against teams that are .500 and above. The one win coming against the Minshew led Eagles last season.
The schedule sets up nicely for DA as the rest of our opponents are mostly under .500 teams. So I’m not going to get my hopes up if we go on some kind of run. In the end I expect DA to win this poor division and get trounced in the first playoff game at home.
Allen’s really around 2-4 against teams above .500. Half of those teams in the “1-11” weren’t above .500 at the time of the matchup. A lot of them were 2-3, 3-4, and 3-6 and pulled out a close W against average Saints offensive talent.
They finished their seasons with winning records, but they weren’t winning teams when we played them. It doesn’t really give a good indication of what Allen can do against good teams since he didn’t have his own true QB selection in most of those games.
