Comments on: Is 2009 The Worst NFL Season Of All-Time? http://rumorsandrants.com/2009/11/is-2009-the-worst-nfl-season-of-all-time.html Goes Down Easy With Little Or No Aftertaste Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:48:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: KJ http://rumorsandrants.com/2009/11/is-2009-the-worst-nfl-season-of-all-time.html/comment-page-1#comment-12558 KJ Wed, 04 Nov 2009 21:23:57 +0000 http://rumorsandrants.com/?p=11102#comment-12558 I disagree with the Redskins finishing 2-14. They have mad issues, but their talent level is better than a 2-14 team. I think they easily finish with 3 or 4 wins. Their fall from grace has been compelling to say the least... last season in about Week 5 or 6 they were #1 in the Sagarin Rankings (which hold weight, especially from a gambler's perspective). Suddenly it all fell apart and they did a complete freefall which carried over to this season. They were 13.5 point favorites at home against the Rams (I remember because I got put out of my eliminator on them) and choked. Ever since then they're nothing but a punchline, kind of like our fantasy squads. I've never seen a team fall that hard that quickly. I disagree with the Redskins finishing 2-14.

Citing the blowouts is more evidence that it is certainly a terrible year as far as watching compelling, competitive football, but there is something to be said about the rarity of there being so many dominate teams. Clearly the really good teams are beating other teams than just the terrible teams, and the terrible teams are losing to everyone. The Redskins have played almost only terrible teams thus far and are still terrible themselves. Though the regular season has been terrible (not to mention the fantasy season where many games have been won because of a random scoring ourbreak of 30+ points by a decent player against a terrible defense), maybe the playoffs are shaping up to be exceptional, since these said dominant teams will all be playing each other at the same time.

Tons of blowouts. Hard to give much credence to that being a sign of the best year ever. Furthermore, the scores have been terrible around the league week-in and week-out. Tons of blowouts.

I did all the leg work myself. They do play each other, and for the most part, those are the only other wins I see these ass teams to win. And as far as looking at this season in terms of the worst rather than the best, well we hear at Rumors and Rants are more of glass half empty enterprise. It definitely is mathematically possible.
