But the fact is we have a grand total of one win vs. teams with a season ending winning record in the last 26 games !
Over the last 3 seasons we have a total of 8 wins against teams with season ending winning records.

In 2014 we finished 10-5-1 beating the Ravens twice, (for whatever reason we've always done well against them) and the Texans and Broncos. We had the monster benefit of playing the two worst divisions in football ! Logging 6 wins and a tie against the AFCS/NFCS. I'd venture to say we probably don't make the playoffs if not for that good fortune.

In 2015 we beat the Steelers, (weird, right !) Chiefs, and Seahawks and finished 12-4. Of course we lost Andy and imploded to finish. But since that victory against the Steelers on Nov. 1st 2015 we've been in a big time slide.

In 2016 we beat the Dolphins and that's it ! And tied the Skins - whooppeee. Finished 6-9-1 of course, but this team is not doing well by any stretch. In fact we're trending down big time.

Guys need to lay off the kool-aid and face reality. Twenty six games and counting we have ONE win vs. good teams ! Standing pat with the old, past their prime, not all that good of players and relying on the draft isn't going to turn this team around fast enough for it to matter for Andy, AJ, Geno, Vontaze, Carlos, Whit- maybe ? Put Ogbuehi on the bench if he ain't cutting it again ! Get a real damn center. Find a pass rushing DE, get an in his prime LBer who can cover and so on.

Mike Clown needs to step up to the plate and $hitcan the dead weight and sign a real FA or two and do these players and us justice.

The reality is no matter how you spin it we're way down the road in the wrong direction
Wrap this up with a big red bow and send it to Mike Brown with copies to Marvin and PA, please.
I am tired of it too. Sad
