Geez Lew-WEEZ!
Of course they COUNT!!!
But for a variety of reasons I've explained about 3500 times, including just an hour ago, I prefer to compare NFL games only
The AFL was an uneven non-competitive League for a WIDE variety of reasons. And we were the POOREST Team by a wide margin. Went 1-19 against the chefs.
If you were that disadvantaged for 10 years and went 1-19 against us, I'm sure it would
suddenly make sense to you! You wouldn't want to count the games that you never had a chance to win either. Our quarterback years 2-4 was Frank Tripucka .... old Detroit Piston player Kelly Tripucka's Dad. He was an assistant coach, 37 or more years old. When our quarterback proved ineffective, he literally put on a uniform at halftime and took over. We couldn't afford much more than that .... he played 3 years until he was 41.
I hope you're beginning to get the picture.....
