Jiminy Fucking Christmas...
This is similar to skewing the stats in your earlier post where you point out that if you only count the weak teams the Pats played, the Pats played only weak teams.
Now it's beware, the Chiefs can use film to get better, ignoring the fact that other teams also use film to get better, and it isn't one game. Did you watch the Chiefs-Lions game? The one where Mahomes had a pedestrian 300 yards and zero TDs? The game they won on a freak play?
The Chiefs didn't exactly use film to self-scout and correct their problems, now did they? Because the Colts played them tough, with Mahomes again having an average 300 yards passing and one TD on a weird broken play.
I'm not saying the Chiefs are bad. They are a good team. But they aren't the 50 TD/ 5000 yard Chiefs team that lost to the Patriots twice last year. (I know, Dee Ford, Coin Toss, Blah Blah. They still lost twice.)
Teams are what their record is.
Pats are 5-0
Chiefs are 4-1
Colts and Ravens are 3-2.
Over a season, things tend to average out. Maybe it will change and the Pats will suck and the Chiefs will go 18-1. But I doubt it, and trying to cherry pick stats to show that will happen is just stupid.
that would require such a monumental shift that it's incalculable. Andy Reid would have to become BFB, BFB would have to become Andy Reid. The Queefs would have to play defense.
