thanks for getting this up D3. I had totally forgotten about it. Also, Saints-Jags SB is gonna be tight.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

In fairness, the Jags actually have a QB now. Lee is back now so while they don't have a ton of depth Lee/Cole seems like a p good WR tandem as long as Lee stays healthy and isn't rusty. They are like a year removed from a top 5 defense and rushing attack. Is it so hard to see them playing more like 2017 than 2018? But I admit that you are prob right that all of KC, Pittsburg, Houston, NE are better than the Jags. I could see them making some noise and improving on that 5-11 record.

the colts season ticket holders that want a refund b/c Luck retired seem a little bit insane.

Has the NFL always been this penalty heavy? It seems like almost every other play is a penalty. Anyways these roughing the passer ones are especially dumb. Is it really that hard for a lineman to stop or are they just not seeing the ball thrown?

remember back in the day when it was the NFC west that was a clusterfuck and the NFC east was the good division?

it was 2010 I think when Seattle was 7-9 and there was a big hubbub about how a losing team shouldn't make the playoffs.

I think Panzer was just trying to make an old person joke and failed miserably.

but to be fair, NFC West in the 90's wasn't all that great. Usually had one or 2 solid teams and then a bunch of bottom feeders.

they were still 7-9 in the regular season and in a different better division wouldn't have made the playoffs. They only beat 2 winning teams in the regular season and were constantly blown out in their losses. The fact that Seattle won a Superbowl in 2014 speaks volumes to how good Pete Carrol/Russel Wilson is.

Since 2009, the NFC East has had 2 Superbowl winners. And the Dallas Cowboys (since they are the only ones that I've looked up.) Nearly went to the conference championship but the refs screwed them out of it. And again in 2016 they were back to the playoffs but lost in the divisional round. So no, the Division hasn't been trash since Mcnaab retired.

not really? I just have correct observations and you have trash "opinions" that differ just to spite me.

considering that the NFC goes to the superbowl each year and the NFC West was only the representative 4 of those times I'd say that you're saying things that don't make any sense, as usual.


Also, I wasn't arguing that the NFC West was a bad division.

that.

I forgot that you are a Seahawks fan and that's why you are taking this personally. You are also being inconsistent with your claims that the Pats "choked" and that's the only reason that the NFCe beat them as opposed to the Seahawks beating the Saints b/c they were a better team. Why did the Saints not choke? But you'll just keep replying and this will never end so w/e man.

Aronis, are you glad that no one took that bet?
