Hangovers in the Garrett Era

[percyhoward]

Since Garrett became HC, we've won six games by 14+ points. The week after a 14+ point win, we're 2-3, with the only wins coming in OT against teams that were 2-7 and 3-6 going into those games.

After Dallas wins a game by 14+, the average halftime score in the next game is Opp 17 Dal 3.

2010 beat Lions 35-19, then
trailed 20-6 at half, lost to Saints

2011 beat Rams 34-7, then
trailed 24-0 at half, lost to Eagles

2011 beat Bills 44-7, then
trailed 14-10 at half, beat Skins in OT

2011 beat Bucs 31-15, then
trailed 14-0 at half, lost to Eagles

2012 beat Eagles 38-23, then
trailed 13-0 at half, beat Browns in OT

2013 beat Rams 31-7, then

So much for JG's mantra "..stacking one good win after another..blah blah..".

 

[pugilist]

those teams are completely different from the 2013 version. this team just feels different

 

[Staubacher]

This year is different I'm surprised some people still don't see that. We are so being coached up in every facet of the game. There will be no hangover or letdown

Go re-watch the game against the Chiefs.

The defense does seem different so far. Offense? Not so much. I'm hoping I'm wrong.

You are. Not guaranteeing a win but we are not going to show up flat in San Diego.

 

[lwehlers]

man those are not good odds for next week against a chargers team that plays tough at home. they are also coming off two straight road games so they will pumped up to play well at home. we could lose just as bad as the rams did today in that stadium.

I hope you right.

regardless, it's a different year and one game (Chiefs game) does not set a trend

Defense? Agree. Offense. Not so sure.

I vote for the phrase, "I hope I am wrong," to be added to the language filter.

 

[CATCH17]

I'm too happy right now to worry about it.

That Chiefs game put me in a bad mood for a week.

well that would be the goal, and apparently he has needed to say that to the players

 

[sbark]

This team has gotta' prove they are diff. than the teams listed............Bill Parcels--"you are what you are until you prove otherwise".........that is where we sit

when i saw the thread title, i thought we were going to be talking about fans hangovers from excessive drinking to drown their sorrows on sunday in the Garrett era

 

[pugilist]

not really, they are different. the depth chart is different, the coaching staff is different, the playcalling dynamic is different, i could go on and on about differences from this year's team to those teams listed

 

[Zman5]

Anyone can say the right things. Walking the the talk is the hard part and what separates great ones from the average. And 8-8 is average as it gets.

 

[jobberone]

I don't think previous seasons are that predictive but you never know. This just might be a different team but that's to be seen.
