Quote:You don't understand the argument that record is not the ultimate indicator of how good a team is and whether they're trending up or down. You don't understand that teams can (and do) overperform and underperform. You don't understand that a team that lucks its way to 7 wins can be worse than a team that was unlucky to win 5 and would be the better team to back the following year - and that therefore setting hard win targets is a ridiculously simplistic approach, and that this is why our team's owner is unwilling to do that.


And you think I'm the one lacking in cognitive ability?


<shrug>

unlucky teams don't win only 5 games, bad teams do.


If you are under .500 than their is more than bad luck going on. It means you are unable to beat a decent team or you are still regularly loosing to bad teams.


luck works both ways. If you aren't showing improvement more than what luck can bring, then you don't need to be here after 3 years of work.
