I mean goddamn this conference seems wrapped up doesn’t it? Not trying to jinx us but it really seems like injuries are our biggest opponent at this point.
The Ravens are fucking frauds. They’re a warm up for us. We literally made these guys look like the JV squad the last 2 meetings.
And sure the Bills and Titans may make us work for the win, but in all honesty we have to play pretty goddamn shitty to lose to those guys.
In order to have any shot at beating us you need 3 things:
1. Elite pass rush
2. Top 10 QB capable of making critical plays
3. Overall talented roster
Steelers are the only team in the AFC that has those 3 things, and even them it’s not like they’re some serious threat like the Patriots a couple years back, but they seem like the best of the rest.
I think at this point it would be disappointing for this team to not get to the SB 3 straight times.
We’re just that good, and we keep drafting well and get better and better. [Reply]

They are really only vulnerable outside the hashes - their corners are good but not great.
The question is whether or not Tannehill can continue to play so cleanly in the face of a constant blitz without leaning so heavily on the running game.

Let's see..... since 2010 here is the list of last unbeaten and how they finished at the end of the year.
2010 - Chi/GB/KC (3-0): Green Bay did win the SuperBowl. KC/Chi lost in playoffs
2011 - Packers (13-0): Lost in Divisional Round
2012 - Falcons (8-0): Lost in Conference Champ
2013 - Chiefs (9-0): Lost in Wild Card
2014 - Phi/Cin/Ari (3-0): Philly missed playoffs, Bengals & Cards Lost in WC
2015 - Panthers (14-0): Lost in Super Bowl
2016 - Vikings (5-0): Didn't make the playoffs
2017 - Chiefs (5-0): Lost in Wildcard
2018 - Rams (8-0): Lost in Super Bowl
2019 - 49ers/Pats (8-0): 49ers lost in Super Bowl / Pats lost in WC
SO... 4 out of 15 teams went to the Super Bowl. Or just over 25%. Unless you have other history that shows something different. [Reply]

Thats pretty good stuff. I was referring to what history says about the last 6 times 2 undefeated teams met week 7 or later and the winner going to the super bowl. I couldnt share the graphic, not too familiar with your board. When i said google it, i assumed you knew i meant winner of titans steelers super bowl and google would show you the article [Reply]

Though I just watched Kornheiser actually repeat this nonsense on ESPN. But he was wearing that ridiculous turban when he said it, so maybe he was being facetious. [Reply]

The 9ers are a physical team like the Titans, only they'll be rested and ready. I fear what their physicality will do vs your team

I really should have listened to you guys. John Q Public likes to watch finesse teams on the big stage

:-) This dude seems to have a short memory. We already know what the end game is for the Titans. [Reply]

Go ahead, knock yourself out.
The reality is that your little factoid is based on nothing more than a statistical quirk. There's plenty of them in sports. They aren't laws or absolutes.
There was one that lasted for about four years or so concerning the Pats and the Fins, where if they played in MIA before Dec. MIA would cover every time, and win 80% of the time, something like that. It was a stupid stat that wasn't based on anything in reality, but it made me some money once I figured it out. But I never actually believed it was anything more than a temporary somewhat long-lived anomaly.
You think your little scenario is some kind of "key" to a hidden secret within the NFL? Okay.
I've got a custom-made tin foil hat for you ready for shipping. $1,999 plus shipping and it's yours. I promise all your dreams will come true. [Reply]
