And he had a smart GM that rebuilt on the fly. Seattle *could* have because Wilson was young when they wonFireCohen said:
Big reason Brady won because he took a pay cut to keep the gravy train runningRaceBannon said:Rodgers won a SB then started losing conference title games
Wilson won a SB then lost one then years of playoff loses
Mahomes with 2 SB and 1 win with 4 straight conference title games is about as good as it gets for QBs not named Brady
McVey is at his second SB with his second QB. The Gibbs method
Burrow and the Bengals need to take advantage. This shit is fleeting
People forget that Brady won in 01,03, and 04 then nada until they beat Seattle in 14
Two loses to the Giants in between -

Brady does what every QB should do. Works like a maniac on completing short passes with perfect ball placement.FireCohen said:

That means everything in the NFL. -
Even the most diehard CFB fan has to acknowledge that the NFL has had the superior product for the better part of two decades now.
It's honestly impressive how they do it. They rule with an iron fist, crush dissenters, bulldoze the players union, sustain scandal after scandal and threats of cancellation from soft shit losers on both ends of the spectrum, and then continue to print money while putting out one of the most consistently fantastic products in sports. The entire world now knows that the sport turns participants' brains into jelly, and yet business is booming with no signs of slowing down. Roger Goodell is the most hated man in sports while also being the most capable and successful commissioner we've ever seen. They're a fuck paradox of winning and fuck you if you don't like it. -

The Seahawks made absolutely horrible trades for impact players and drafted poorly. They also held on to guys a year or two too long. Both of these things have continued on and have still been happening.RaceBannon said:

CFB OT rules are so bad they keep trying to make OT shorter.YellowSnow said:The NFL OT rules are shit as fuck. They gotta clean that part up.

It's in the interest of any league, for the fans to believe their team has a chance to win it all (or come close). Hell, even in the dynasty era of the NFL, pre-salaray cap, teams like the LA Rams or Cincinnati Bengals made it the Super Bowl.GreenRiverGatorz said:Even the most diehard CFB fan has to acknowledge that the NFL has had the superior product for the better part of two decades now.

College football over the past 25 years always finds a way for the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer. And it's ruined the the product. -

If the chargers fix their run defense I agree, I think they can make a deep playoff run.TheHB said:
I'm calling it now. Chargers in Super Bowl 2023. The salary cap is gonna hit most of the other good teams in the AFC, except Cincinnati -- but I don't see the Bengals going back-to-back. It's kind of a miracle they made it this year. Chargers have a lot of room to make some moves to help the duck. (Shore up that D-line against the rush maybe?)YellowSnow said:
The Chargers didn't make the play off because I'm not allowed to have nice things.RoadDawg55 said:I’ve always enjoyed watching the best players in the world play.
The NFL used to be a little too conservative and every offense was the same. That isn’t the case anymore. Teams go for it on 4th down on the wrong side of the 50. I mean, we root for a team that once punted on 4th and 1 at the Oregon 39 yard line.
The Chargers probably didn’t make the playoffs because they were too aggressive going for it on 4th down.
I attended many a San Diego Chargers loss in a half empty Jack Murphy stadium in the 80s. Then I realized in 1990 I could start liking UW because my dad was an alumni and this college football thing was way more fun.
Now I'm back to square one with a big dick Duck QB and no Super Bowl prospects.

But disagree with the bengals, should have all of the WRs back and Joey B, if they can get a couple decent olinemen they should be just as good if not better, but that’s a lot easier said than done -

I don't know. This is the fourth SB the Lambs have made since 1999. They were always pretty good in the 70s and 80s, but just not good enough to make a SB (I think they made it once in 1979 but lost). Sort of like the Seahawks for the last six or seven years).Swaye said:
We are about to watch a Bengals vs. Rams Super Bowl. That's roughly equivalent to a Purdue vs. Cal National Championship. How likely is that? CFB is broken. Completely.Kingdome_Urinals said:CFB used to be a more passionate game than the NFL. It's the other way around now.
Watching the same 3-5 CFB programs duke it out every year is just a total fail.
The BenGALS definitely came out of nowhere though. I thought I won money on them against the Titans, but MGM sucks and throws in stupid parlays I didn't even see. -
My bigger point is that teams CAN come out of nowhere and win, or be sort of second tier and win. That's the entire problem with where CFB is at. There are legit 5 teams that can win every year, and three of them are in the SEC. It's fucking Groundhog Day, and only getting worse (thanks to NIL).Fire_Marshall_Bill said:

After all the dust settles with NIL there will be 4-6 teams that clearly separate themselves (we have Karen Ramming so we have no hope of being one of them) and those teams will dominate CFB for the next couple decades until the next seismic shift.
I just looked at the NC's from the 80's. Miami had a pretty good little dynasty going in the 80s, but even with that, in other years all kinds of teams won (blue bloods to surprises like BYU, and representing several conferences).

7 different teams in 10 years from 4 conferences with the other 6 wins from Independents. Holy shit. The 1980's look like a great time to be a CFB fan. Let's check in on the 90's and Nebraska's classy little mini dynasty!
Colorado/Georgia Tech (split) - Big 8 / ACC
Washington/Miami (split) - Pac 10 / Big East
Alabama - SEC
Florida State - ACC
Nebraska - Big 8
Nebraska - Big 8
Florida - SEC
Michigan/Nebraska (split) - Big 10/ Big 12
Tennessee - SEC
Florida State - ACC
10 teams in 10 years (three splits helped this) representing 7 conferences (Big 8 became Big 12) which is basically every major conference that existed in America plus the Big East as a minor conference. What a time to be alive.
Contrast all that fun and competitive balance and geographic parity with the CFB landscape the last 10-11 years.

11 years 6 teams 3 conferences and outside of the one Ohio State win the other 10 years have ALL been southern teams in the ACC/SEC. Oh yeah, this looks like fun. For everybody in Alabama trailer parks. It's a fucking joke.
That was way too much work on a Wend morning. FML. -
And the CFB powers that be will say that a 12-team playoff is the way to solve this mess, when in fact that will do nothing.Swaye said:

There is no #10 seed that will win three games in a row against against the 3-5 perennial powerhouses and take home the title.
The split between tier 1 and everyone else has grown way too large. -

I would agree with what you said for the most part. The reality is though there are not a lot of colleges outside of the SEC that actually try. Acc has 2 (maybe 3 if Miami starts caring) Big 10 has a decent amount. Big 12 is small time. Pac 12 has Oregon and USC (Utah kind of but they are challenged).Swaye said:

I don’t know how you convince schools that don’t care about getting their ass kicked to start GAF. They have to be self starters. Until then, the SEC and a few others will widen the gap. -

11 years 6 teams 3 conferences and outside of the one Ohio State win the other 10 years have ALL been southern teams in the ACC/SEC. Oh yeah, this looks like fun. For everybody in Alabama trailer parks. It's a fucking joke.
That was way too much work on a Wend morning. FML.
It's not yet WNBA-west-coast-lesbian niche, but once a number of schools start shuttering their programs it'll get there in a hurry.
Going to watch two sec or “good” big 10 teams play a big time regular season game has now become more appealing to flying back to uw to watch a game. I blame the leadership of the school, not the sport.
