If you're gonna do this let's actually list all of them and their records and not the ones who simply make your silly point.

Raiders 7-5
Jets 7-5
Dolphins 4-8
Chargers 5-7
Chiefs 5-7
Vikings 2-10

The Dolphins despite their record are really good at this present time. He's played fine to this point. I actually have no clue about his future, Them going 0-4 their last 4 would not shock me nor would 4-0.

Isn't it fair to mention they beat the Raiders who were being QB'd by a guy who was on his couch 2 weeks earlier? Or that the Jets were coming off a game 4 days earlier and had to travel?

YEs, about the Raiders, but not the Jets. I'm not really very smart as all of you know. ANd your point about the Chiefs was good too, although I think them missing their star running back pretty much all year hasn't helped them either though even with him I think they struggle all year. I suppose I could use the excuse the Browns lost because they had a game 4 days earlier and had to travel to Pittsburgh but maybe that's not big enough travel?? No, I do not buy the Jets had a game 4 days earlier excuse or that they had to get on a plane.

Putting aside the fact that the Jets were coming off their most devastating loss in the Rex era:

It’s time the NFL addresses the competitive disadvantage of teams making cross-country trips on short weeks. In the last 15 years there have been 13 instances where clubs that played Sunday traveled 1,500 miles or more for a Thursday night game. All 13 lost. That’s not a coincidence. It’s a trend. This year that group includes San Francisco, the Jets and Philadelphia, and enough’s enough. Level the playing field and stop this stupid practice.
0-13. Oh and Thirteen.

Everyone is beating them up over who they have beaten and how... has everyone forgotten they were the 2nd worst team in the league last year? Of course their schedule is weak. Aside from them playing the best and second best divisions in football from both conferences as their out of division opponents.

I didn't know this. Thanks, maybe there is something to it. (now that is good, useful info I like and I actually learned something!!) What if San Fran was travelling east to play Indy instead of the Ravens?? The Raiders never travel well regardless of how many days though.

The fish were 0-5 when they played the Broncos.

Maybe when they played that game they were starting to get pretty good. But I go back to my point that I'm not very smart. So perhaps they started getting good the NEXT week. I think the week after Denver they went to New York and led the Giants pretty much the whole game.

They s.hit the bed very late against the Broncos and then proceeded to get better and better. Either way, you can't stress Tebow's record as a starter and then say they caught a 0-5 team that was playing very well at the time.
