[QUOTE="PackFanInSC, post: 130680, member: 598"] The number of wins against teams with winning records may be a bit over-empasized considering that there were only 12 teams in the league with winning records (likewise, there were only 12 teams with losing records -- as there were 8 teams at .500). I am not denying that last year's 4-12 record was a a problem but there were several key injuries so it was not a true representation of what the team can do. There were games that we were totally blown out as the team felt its way through the learning curve but I would say that we had a good chance in games against two of the 5 playoff teams that we lost. The New Orleans game was only lost by 7 points and we were tied with just over 8:20 left in the game. Both teams scored after that point but we just ran out of time. The Seattle game was ours for the 1st half until Alexander ran it down our throats (40 carries, 200+ yards). Wasn't that the game that Barnett missed? What if we had moved Jenkins outside 2 weeks earlier? I think we are closer to competing than a lot of the pessimists think -- or maybe they are afraid to be disappointed if things don't go well next year. I, for one, would rather spend the off-season looking at the bright future instead of looking at the short-comings and hoping to be surprised when we win. [/QUOTE]
