You mean just like the team playing Eagles in the opener winning the SB.

Oh wait.

I wasn't the one that brought that up. U r talking to the pattern king. Teams that have played the NFC East and Patriots have won SB since 2006. Look it up. This year, it's the Broncos that have done both, just saying what I said before.

Nothing personal to you buddy. Relax.

 

You are holding this patternism too close to your heart. It means nothing was my point.

Yep, we just have to say how things play out. Records and patterns can be broken.

 

The Saints SB, no one that lost to the Bucs in the last 44 years in the SB era had won the SB. But that could have also meant that the Bucs were terrible for so long, which they were :). Saints bucked that pattern that lasted 44 years, but then once the Saints' undefeated streak was broken, they relaxed a bit at the end of the year and they lost to the Bucs. So, yeah, it is all about what happens on the field.

Patterns can be found for every conceivable outcome if you look hard enough.

Very true..

 

....remember how Phil Rivers was 6-2 in Denver?

 

....How Peyton manning was 1-and-done 8 times?

 

...how the last 4 Super Bowl winners (this year: SD) opened the home season for Phily?

 

.....Trends can simply be coincidences

Remember when Jon Gruden said the Colts were a team of destiny? ;)

 

I really like that form held this season as I want to see the best teams fight it out. I love the NFC match up almost as much as the AFC but honestly nothing tops Brady/Manning. NOTHING. I am so happy Manning didn't retire. I hope he plays as long as Brady. I will never tire of their games.

I think Denver will beat NE at home.

Seattle will win the SB running away. The Hawks are just too balanced on both sides of the ball.

Manning and Brady are great but niether one has the personnel to play with Seattle.

I would say Denver and Seattle would be the most intriguing matchup with Denvers weapons on offense.

In the preseason game between Seahawks and Broncos, in which Seattle were playing at playoff mentality while Denver was trying different things out, Manning was having no problem moving the chain in the noise, while Hilman had two fumbles (one returned from Seattle endzone all the way to Denver's for a TD) and JThomas had another to get the game out of their hand. Even Seattle's defense admitted that they could not stop Manning.

 

On a neutral field Seattle would not play as well as they do at home, and the difference is significant.

I think it's going to be an epic SB between Denver and Seattle. Seattle gets it done . Denver NE is a toss up to me though. Wouldn't be surprised to see New England win. Even Seattle SF isn't a give me for Seattle. I would be surprised to see a NE SF Superbowl though.

I know you just didn't compare a pre-season game scenario to a potential SB???

Seattle playing at playoff mentality in a pre-season game. lol

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By stitches · Posted

      I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By twfish · Posted

      For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.

      3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team.

      Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
