I'd agree with both of you that here and now it doesn't matter how "good" we are in the latter sense since all that matters is our record in the end but I do believe we are capable of having a better record if we had played an easier schedule. The main point of this thread I took to be: How capable are we? rather than: What is our record? If we want to discuss the validity of having such a discussion on what capabilities our team has in certain situations(ie: an easier schedule, less injuries, etc..) I'd say it is simply a fun little exercise not be taken too seriously but it at least gives us a base for hope going foward and can put into perspective our past performances.

Thanks for saying what I couldn't/didn't.
