I'm sure the Bills, a genuine title contender both last year and this year, would have loved for results against the Jaguars not to count, because right after the Seahawks beat the Jaguars convincingly in Jacksonville (and with Smith doing things against them that no other quarterback did, including several that I'd agree are better players than Smith), the Jaguars went to Buffalo and beat the Bills.
Also, there was no such thing as the 1-16 Jaguars. The Jaguars beat the Dolphins, the Bills, and the Colts, and it wasn't the Jaguars against those three teams in a single game.
