True, and that saying "you are what your record says you are" is a worn out cliche that doesn't take in to consideration all the factors that go in to that record.

Its an over-used cliche that way too many fans use to express frustration at under-achieving teams. Its weak.

Disagree. There are no awards for playing well but losing, nor, being a really good losing team who is simply failing to play to it's potential.

At the end of this season, I will feel worse if we don't make it to the playoffs, I will feel worse if we don't win 9 games.
