Official 2020 NFL Season Thread

I'm not even saying winning the championship makes the 2011 Giants the "best" team that year, but it sure as hell makes their 9-7 record and unimpressive stats irrelevant.

It's definitely arbitrary in the end, and I get where Grim is coming from completely. From my perspective though, you can't call world champions mediocre. You have to at least be GOOD to make it through the cutthroat NFL postseason, and there's simply no way you can chalk it all up to luck.

Pretty much what I was saying. However, I will say they were the best team that year.

Yeah we pretty much agree I think, I just also think it's fine to call those Giants mediocre bc they were...but any Giants fan can just clap back and say "championship" and I'll concede the argument

No you said it 100% makes them the BEST

EDIT: Dammit you ninja'd me by editing your post before I could quote this so now I look foolish

They matter more than them Falcons any day of the week.

Whatever helps you sleep at night bud. Have you ever even got to watch them play in the Super Bowl. My team might have blew the lead, but at least I got to watch them play in it. You was pretty damn young the last time the Bengals made the Super Bowl.

That year, they won. You can spin it however you like. Place your little stupid emotes. Regardless of stats, ranking in offense and defense. They were your Super Bowl Champs. A place reserved for the best team in the league that year.

I sleep well knowing the truth. Your Falcons will never go to another Super Bowl in this lifetime.

Damn I wish it was easy for me to think this black and white without my brain considering any kind of critical thinking

I doubt that. They've been twice since the last time the damn Bengals went. We both got an 0-2 record in them games.

LOL okay.

We shall see won't we?

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I guess we shall. I guess we shall.

 

[Petty]

Indeed we will.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Indeed we will.

Now, what is a lifetime tho, that's the question? I mean hell I could die tomorrow, and you'd be right if you meant my lifetime. But then with that said, no team went back to it in my lifetime from the point forward any of it was said.

I am in full agreement about this. Our lifetime of course. We never know.

I can easily not wake up tomorrow either. Its just banter...
