His first 13 seasons in the league there was no overtime so games ended in a tie. OT wasn't implemented until 1974.

I'm just not ready to crown them until we find out what they are going to look like year 2, 3 and even 4 (ala Newton). Heck even Ryan has doubters right now and Flacco might be a Free Agent let alone what has happened to Sanchez up there in Jetsville.

On a side note, anyone still want Ryan as our HC? At one point I think I was the only one that called him a chucklehead.

Since when is under .500 a winning record by the way?

Jesus ... counting ties or not counting ties does not matter.

Tark on the road for his career ... 57-60-4. That is below .500. Really simple actually to see it. See, 57 wins is less than half of 121 career road games. What do you want to do ... count the ties as wins and losses? That just splits it. And honestly ... as a WINNING PERCENTAGE ... he WON 57 out of 121 games for .471. Hardly that impressive.
