Bill Parcells once famously said, “You are what your record says you are.”
Parcells is a smart guy, so he probably meant to say you are what your point differential, strength of schedule and other underlying factors say you are.
In a small sample of games, wins and losses cannot always capture a team’s true talent level, and the team that best exemplifies this concept this year is probably the Seattle Seahawks.
The Seahawks are 3-4, but the argument 14 teams in the league are better than the two-time reigning NFC champions is flimsy at best.
