This talk is about “style points”. Style points only matter in college fb where teams have to impress voters to get to a playoff then a championship. NFL championships are won entirely on the field. No voting. No style points. Just win.
That’s how I view this season. Just win. I don’t give a rat’s behind how many points we score as long as we win. If we beat Miami by one point or by 50, we will remain in first place in the NFC East. That’s what matters.
The only reason some of us want to win by a blowout or we’re upset is that it affects how we feel. That's the only reason. We as fans are quick to see point spreads in a win or in a loss as some kind of confirmation of what we believe about our team. Winning is confirmation. Not point spreads.
Im just saying that the declarations that a good team must prove its goodness by margin of victory is more about how we feel than what our team is or isn’t.
