Better record in 2009 vs. 2008; Lots of hope

[HoustonPhinFan]

2008 2009
Phins 2-4 (1-0) 2-4 (2-0)
Jets 3-3 (1-1) 4-3 (1-2)
Pats 4-2 (1-1) 5-2 (1-1)
Bills 5-1 (0-0) 3-4 (1-2)

Total (J,P,B) 12-6 (2-2) 12-9 (3-5)

Compared to last year at week seven we are in much better shape, especially considering our competition within the division. The Jets, Pats and Bills have lost more games together at week seven compared to 2008.

Within brackets are the records within the division. In 2009, more of the division foes have lost games against each other and us. We can win this one. Unless the Patriots really beat everyone else, we have a very good chance to win this one.

This coming week is critical, we have to beat the Jets and we are in it.

Phins need to get off the floor and focus and make a run for it. East is still within stricking distance.

Love the way all the experts have concluded that Phins are out of it.

I'll add the logical second part of this analysis, which is the strength of our remaining schedule compared to this time last year.

2008 / 2009
5-1 / 4-3
4-3 / 5-2
2-4 / 0-7
2-4 / 2-4
4-2 / 3-4
2-4 / 5-2
5-1 / 3-3
2-5 / 0-6
0-6 / 4-3
3-3 / 5-2

29-33 (.468) / 31-36 (.462)

There is no reason why this team shouldn't be able to do just as well as they did last year over the remainder of the season.
