Agreed that the "7 losses by 1 score or less" narrative is weak.


If you look at the entire NFL and turn every single 1 score loss into a win, I believe there would only be 2 losing teams left in the NFL for 2019. The Redskins who would be 6-10, and the Dolphins who would be 7-9.

If you turned all 1 score losses into wins, the 3-12-1 Lions would turn into the 12-4 Lions. It's a meaningless thing to do.
