What decides football games? Mistakes/Turnovers/Big Plays generally. Reverse 2-3 plays from every game and the results would be different.
Close games are a killer, but good teams tend to win them and bad teams tend to lose them. I recall in 2010 when we lost like 8 games by 8 points or less and the Packers won something like 6 games by a similar margin. We were a dreadful abomination of a team that needed to be blown up and they won the Super Bowl. We shoulda been 12-4 and they shoulda been 4-12 but that's not the way it went.
Back on topic, I could see us wining the Packers and Texans game if we score instead of failing to score (boy, that's quite the generic comment), but we lost that first game by 20 points. No amount of squinting makes that look like a win to me, regardless of how crap Zampese is/was.
