It had about as much impact on today's discussion as my blog did.

Hey you wanna hang out for the Giants vs. Patriots super bowl this year?

Wait are the Bears and their elite defense making it? There record has to be better than the Packers right?

Cause elite D>>>>QB

- sbroads24


One of the Rams or Saints will make the Super Bowl because they have elite defences.

Then the narrative will be Brees is an elite QB that’s why the Saints made it even though Brees statistically speaking most likely isn’t a top 10 QB this year. Ditto Goff.

Here’s how this goes -

Pegulaville points out 1 game sample sizes - therefore he’s right

We point out one game sample sizes - he says they’ll just lose in the playoffs then- therefore he’s still right.

So far this evening the 5-7 Giants and 6-6 Patriots have been congratulated while Aaron Rodgers was criticized for only wining one championship

It’s an epic night of mental gymnastics

- sbroads24


So the regular season takes precedence over a single playoff game because it is a larger sample size ?

So I’m supposed to care about all the yards Rodgers threw for last year and that’s more important then the fact he lost to the 49ers in the NFC Chamionship game to a QB who threw for 74 yards behind the backs of a strong running game and elite defence ???

So no Bears, huh? Why’s that?

Why isn’t Baltimore pacing to be a 14-2 team again? They still run a ton and play good defense. Is it because Jackson has regressed as a passer and won’t throw 36 TD’s again?

Jared Goff threw for 351 today and they scored 38 points, while their leading rusher had 71 yards, and the defense gave up 28 points. Please, do your best back handspring and tell me how Goff wasn’t reason #1 they won today

This is so insane

So it’s a criticism that Rodgers only won 1 super bowl

But it’s a compliment that the 49’ers didn’t win it, they just made it, and are now below .500 this year

You keep changing the definition of success to suit your argument

Rodgers 1 Super Bowl win is unsuccessful

The Rams and 49’ers combined 0 super bowl wins the past two years are successful

The only argument that’s reasonable is it’s tough to have a well rounded team once you have to pay the elite QB

I would agree Seattle probably isn’t good enough to win the SB, but the Packers absolutely are this season

Jimmy Goroppolo is 26-9 as a Starting QB in the NFL. He is an average at best QB and has always had a high end defence and running game at his disposal.

He is also the most recent QB to make it to the Super Bowl in the NFC.

I wonder if Head Coaches and Coordinators game plan weekly, and if those game plans consider the strengths and weaknesses of their opponents when devising their Run and Paas offenses. If not holy poop somebody tell them to, please!
I wonder if the Bill's decided to Run against the Patriots Defense, also if they decided to Pass against the Jets and others who had deficient defensive backfields.

I then wonder if the success enjoyed means that they are a good running team or passing team and therefore fall on one side of the argument or other.


HOLY (frank)!, can the goddamn NHL Players put their big boy pants on and agree to financial concessions to achieve a 50/50 HRR split they fvcking agreed to.

God damn idiots ... all of it.

When the Packers won the Super Bowl in 2010 they finished as the 6th seed......

They also had the #2 ranked defence that year. They had the 10th best offence.

Like I said elite defence > Elite QB.

He also beat Ben Roethlisbeger that year whom is also an Elite QB.

Do you want to know why Rodgers hasn’t sniffed a Super Bowl since ? Because most of the defences he’s played with are god awful.

Like the one that got gashed on the ground for 220 yards in the NFC Championship game last year.

I gave you the stats on the last page.

Brees is 9-9 in the playoffs cause on average he’s had the 19th best defence in the league on a yearly basis across his career.

This year the Saints are 10-2, winning their last 3 games without him and are probably the NFC favourites because they have a top 5 if not top 3 defence.

Elite QB’s will get you a playoff berth. Having a top 10 defence gets you a ring.

17? Is that close to 44?

Is 105 close to 417?

Hilarious how that worst pass defense of all time hasn’t given up a game close to that in 4 games since

Average QB, strong running game, elite defence

Down goes the Elite QB

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

- Pegullaville


Great, have them play that game 25,000 times and then get back to me. I don't know how you can make any money at all if you think single games mean a (frank)ing thing. They made a movie about it and everything, I think it was called "Any Given Sunday". It's why the Stanley Cup isn't a single elimination tournament, because it wouldn't tell you a damn thing. The only reason the NFL playoffs are single elimination is because it would take 3 years to have one season. Weird poop happens at the micro level.

The elitest QB in the league beat the #1 ranked defense in DVOA last season in the god damn super bowl, and they’ve lost 1 game in their last like 17.

If there is a team that will ultimately up end beating Kansas City in the playoffs, it’s going to be because they have horses to slow down their passing attack and they are able to run the ball.

Similar to the way the Giants beat the Seahawks today.

Right, so the Chiefs defence that held the 49ers to 20 points (an offence that averaged 30 points a game) had nothing to do with that ?

Mahomes had a 37.7 QBR with 8 minutes left in the game.

The Chiefs don’t win that game if their defence doesn’t keep it within 10 points while Mahomes was getting eaten alive for three quarters.

It doesn’t matter how good Mahomes was that last 8 minutes if the Chiefs defence didn’t pitch a shutout the last 20 minutes of that game.

There is context to everything.

Where are the Texans ?

The Bears have terrible QB play not average. They also can’t run the ball.

They have one of the worse offences I’ve ever seen.

How many times in the past 20 years have the Bills had an elite level defense?

How many times have they had even above average level QB play.

Which one lead to more playoff appearances...
