I heard John Gruden mention this last night, that NFL Coaches break down their season into 4 quarters of 4 games.
I think if you look at our season this way, you'll realize just how important starting 3-1 is, for our goal of reaching the Playoffs
1) @ Clevland W - 23-10
2) @ Indy
w - 24-20
3) Atlanta
W - 27-23
4) @ NO
L
- 38-17
1st Qtr Record 3-1
3 Road Games
1) Baltimore
2) Buffalo
3) @ New England
4) Cincinati
3 Home Games
Just looking at this schedule if you had to make a prediction based on our team now.....what would you have us at?
Based on how the 1st Qtr went...I dont think its unreasonable to go 3-1, at worst 2-2
1) At Buccaneers
2) San Diego
3) Panthers
4) @ Jets
3 Home Games
Looking at this Qtrs Schedule is a 3-1 Record unprobable?
1) @ Pittsburgh
2) New England
3) @ Buffalo
4) Jets
2 Home - 2 Away
I think a 3-1 record in this stretch would be hard to go...but...I can see 2-2 without it being a stretch.
So...looking at this in Qtrs....its not CRAZY to see 12-4....its certainly within the realm of believability to see a 11-5 team, and I think at worst, based on how we have played the first Qtr...we end up 10-6.
