The old adage has been said time and time again: “you are what your record says you are.” When it comes to the NFL though, and specifically last season’s Detroit Lions, I often disagree with that statement. End of season standings aren’t always the best indicators of how good (or bad) a team actually is. Unless you’re the New England Patriots.
What makes me says this?
- Much shorter season than other major sports. Small sample size can’t always be trusted, and there just aren’t enough games for all the breaks to even out in one season.
