I just wrote something similar
we have to acknowledge when players do something well...even if we don't like them
look... I'm not changing the 7-9 thingy but I might if they can beat the Bills Sunday - Because that is a game that they generally lose. Beat the teams that you are supposed to on your own turf.
Remember in 2012 Jets at the Rams - Rex Ryan comes into St Louis and the Rams were coming off a big game against the 49ers. A game they should have won but ended in a 24-24 tie
The Jets under Ryan came in a pummeled the Rams
Sorry I can't change the 7 win talk... not just yet
Show me Rams!!!
Unless you expected them to be 3-1, why *wouldn't* you change your 7-9 prediction? And you say if they beat the Bills, you *might* change that prediction? So you might also predict that a 4-1 team will go 3-8 the rest of the way. Really? It's obviously possible, but hard to believe you genuinely would expect them to.
The underlying sentiment, presumably, is that even at 3-1 you're far from convinced there're a "good" team., which is fine. Still, if a .500 (or so) team somehow lucks into a 4-1 start, it still doesn't make sense to think they'll then become a much-worse-than-.500 team.
Anyho... carry on!
