Dolphins to release 4-time Pro Bowl CB Xavier Howard (1 Viewer)

Don't act like we didn't have the same record as Tampa- with a QB injured for half the season and Kamara missing the first few games of the season. The only reason the Saints didn't win was because of how the schedule played out and how the tiebreaker rules played out, not because Tampa was better. They weren't.

Those dudes overcame a 4 game losing streak, got into the playoffs, and beat the Eagles to advance to the Divisional rd of the playoffs. How far did we get again???
They WERE the better team. Not sure why some of yall just can’t admit the truth when it comes to our team? It’s OK, I’m here to help yall cope with this thing called reality

9-8 vs 9-8 and we beat the snot out of them. You're right. They're definitely better. It's good that one of us is living in reality. But I don't think it's the one that you think it is.

Didn't we try to get him a few years back?

Like they didn’t beat us as well.
It’s all good. My purpose in life is to help educate. The Bucs are the 2023 NFC South Champions. They won their 1st rd playoff game.

We booked our tickets to Cancun, while NOT winning our division, and definitely didn’t get into the playoffs.

But yeah, we were equal with the Bucs

We couldn’t win the worst division in the NFL, along with the easiest schedule, plus our schedule was even more easy with injuries to key players on our opposition. In a division where the QBs were Desmond Ridder, Bryce Young, and Baker Mayfield…….let that sink in for a minute

We missed winning the division by one game, and in hindsight some of our losses were to some legitimate teams.

There is a fine line between average and good in this league, and we a closer to crossing that line than we are to being a bad team that needs to start from scratch. Also, that fine line is usually decided by strokes of luck that are all but outside of your own control.

I am tired of the “easy schedule” bit. In the words of Bill Parcells…you are what your record says you are.

How could you say we aren’t equal to the Bucs when we literally had the same record and split the season series? Because they won some arbitrary tiebreaker that gave them a “championship” crown of an arbitrary four team sector of the league?

They also beat us when our QB couldn’t raise his hand to ask a question.

We are so lucky to have someone like you with all of your far superior football knowledge to "educate" us. Here I was thinking you were at least as full of sheet as the rest of us.

You’re very welcome.
I can’t have anyone on here believing that The Ravens who finished 13-4 was better than the SUPER BOWL winning Chiefs at 10-6.

Things happen. Many games especially are determined by strokes of luck/bad luck. Not that I disagree with the Chiefs example per se, but the best team doesn’t always win the Super Bowl.

It’s typically the hottest (and more importantly, the luckiest) team during a very specific time window that does. It’s a big reason why winning a SB is extremely difficult.

How many teams had a better record than the Super Bowl champions?

And who hoisted the trophy at the end of the year. Just bc you equal a record or have a better record does not mean that you accomplished the same amount.

Should could woulda can be said for any team.

Don’t change the subject. In this post’s context, we are specifically talking about the Saints and Bucs.

Were the Rams the best team in the NFC in 2018?

Were the 9-7 Giants the best team in the NFL in 2011?

Bro, I’m responding to someone who said that we were better than the Bucs bc we had the same regular season record. Who won the division? Who won a playoff game? Who did not win the division? Who did not win a playoff game? By that person’s metric, the Ravens (who had the best regular season record) is better than the Super Bowl Champions. That does NOT make any sense
