The 0-16 Browns lost a ton of close games. I don't think Zac Taylor is Vince Lombardi, but close scores are not an indictment on him. He's winning now that he's got a talented team. It'd be a problem if they won 6 games last year, but were close.
Exactly
The whole narrative that you're close/good/bad because of close games is pretty much BS. Fact is nearly every NFL team good/bad/ugly has several "close games" every season.
In the NFL a win is a win and a loss is a loss ! Most games are close. And trying to spin it, tap dance around, cherry picking stats is just grasping at straws.
The good teams find a way to win. And the rest don't
