Where is the praise for the prime time win?

You can't say prime time losses are bigger but prime time wins are not. 

That's why I'm talking about their record in prime-time.  We had 1 prime-time win last season and 4 prime-time losses, so it doesn't matter how you value prime-time when the point is that we had 4 times the losses as wins.

We win less than 50% of our prime-time games, so it doesn't matter if prime-time games count as 1 game, 100 games, or 543 bananas because the point is that we are on the wrong side of the ratio and whatever amount of value you attribute to our wins you also must attribute to our losses so the ratio and % remains the same.

I'm not going to brush off the win over the Dolphins, but beating the Browns last year to be 1-0 in prime-time was followed up by a 4-game losing streak in prime-time SO forgive me if I'm not exactly ready to say we've overcome our longstanding issues.


So to get back to the original question:

What is "proof" that we are prime-time winners?  Our 1-0 record this year?  We can't include prior years, or else we start "proving" we can't win in prime-time.  Did our win over the Browns to be 1-0 so far that year prove we were over it in 2015?  Because we followed that with 4 prime-time losses in a row, so meh.

Anyways, we can't conclude anything about this unless we are given some sort of guideline for what constitutes a team that can win in prime-time.
