"ometimes things just don't make sense," Ryan said. "Statistically, this game is not going to look close. I truly feel that our football team is good enough to beat anybody in this league, but we also can lose to anybody in this league if we spot a team three touchdowns."
Or six interceptions against Buffalo. Or whatever else has contributed to the four losses that now match the four wins.
That's really the key here. In each game that one NFL team loses to another team, it's easy to point to things that your team has done wrong instead of the things the other team did right.
It's also dangerous to continuously point out your own flaws instead of explaining that maybe, just maybe, the better team won. Indeed, eventually, folks will begin to conclude that the inability of the superior franchise to emerge with a victory flows not from bad luck, but from bad coaching."
