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 NewColtsFan · Posted

      Again….   McGinn didn’t do the damage to Mitchell.  The scouts did.     And there are columnists like McGinn at every major paper.  Their job is to gather info and report it, whether it’s popular or not.    Let me turn this around.  Hypothetically, a few years from now if Mitchell doesn’t pan out and he’s moody and difficult to deal with and he’s a bust, then the scouts will have been proven correct.  And people here will say McGinn’s column was spot on.   Another person who should’ve handled his business better is Mitchell himself.  He’s been living with this since he was roughly 16.   And scouts said he interviewed badly with them.   Even Mitchell admits it.     I don’t think this is as black and white as it seems to you.      To be clear…. I love Mitchell.  Glad we drafted him.  I’ve said several times that Ballard defending him draft night was smart and scored points with the kid.  Now he comes out and says that exact thing.  He appreciates that Ballard defended him so hard and he wants to pay the Colts and Ballard back by being the best player he can be.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      By RollerColt · Posted

      I’d say those teams that lost had worse defenses compared to the winners. That’s not to say that their defenses were bad, they just weren’t as clutch in the big moment.    To me, defense matters a whole lot when you need a stop or a momentum change.    Look at all of the star studded power offense teams of the last decade who were incapable of winning it all.

      Early look and deep dive into 2025 NFL Draft Class and Prospects

      By Defjamz26 · Posted

      Oops that’s my mistake. Yeah I completely missed that. My apologies.   But yeah he’s one I would keep an eye on for us next year. Him and Will Johnson. It’s a little early to be talking about what the Colts would do in the draft, but I would put money on this being the year Ballard takes a DB high. I could also see him go D-Line again. I love college football and watch as much of it as I can, but I’ll be paying attention to a lot of the guys you listed at those positions. Last season I watched a lot of the teams that had the elite receivers (Washington, Texas, LSU, FSU, etc…).   I’m also getting ready to fire my draft podcasts I listen to back up and look at summer scouting. I’ll come back for some discussions as I get info as I always enjoy talking prospects with you.

      The issue some may have is the kind of journalism where Bob McGinn created an article that affected a young man's career based solely upon anonymous sources.   I'm confident you will reply back referring to your experience as a journalist with some version of 'without anonymous sources, there would be no journalism'. I value reading your insight about how sports are covered and I don't disagree that anonymous sources can be important. Its fair for anonymous sources to give background about things they are not comfortable saying out loud.   However, I'll add that perhaps its also fair for Bob McGinn to use his anonymous sources to help him find the story and craft the story, but if nobody will put their name on it then Bob McGinn needs to dig deeper before he launches infotainment into the world. He can't take back the damage he did to AD Mitchell.

      Manning is Special Guest for Brady Patriots HOF Ceremony

      So damn classy as always. I still rewatch their pandemic golf game from 2020. They just have awesome chemistry together. Hopefully they can get Tom on the Manningcast again for more hilarity.
