Strength of schedule

[ChaosTheory]

People are understandably frustrated, myself included. And being tired of "excuses" is understandable as well.

But I don't put much into all the platitudes people spew and gobble up. If you're 8-2 and your QB cracks his leg and limits the offense and your backup (former starter) is gone because he broke his face... well, fuck me, that might have an effect on the team.

The roller coaster at CB, too. The secondary was overhauled and looked like a team strength going into the season before it got fucked. Walley gets the starting job and dies. Ward misses most of the season and doesn't look right when he returns. Gardner is a blockbuster trade and makes it all of 2 games before he dies, too. Buckner dies, OL dies... just in time for the muderer's row.

I don't care how much gambler's fallacy you want to succumb to because you're annoyed.

It's like a poker player getting his pocket aces cracked the five previous times he's been dealt them... so then he decides pocket aces aren't a good hand or need to be played in some anti-standard way for them to be valuable. It's the exact same thought process. That's retarded.
