POLL Bold stuff: Pick your AFC and NFC opponents in the 2017 Superb Owl

Pats dominated a larger percentage of the game than the Falcons dominated. And that's quite a back track.

LOL. OK man. You may want to rematch the game but I'll leave it at that.

Nah I posted the facts last week. You ignored it.

If 10 minutes is more than 53 minutes then yes you're correct. Lol

Falcons didn't dominate for 53 minutes...

The Falcons dominated from 14:19 left in the 2nd (the fumble recovery) to 8:31 left in the 3rd (their final TD). That's 32.6% of the game. The Patriots dominated from 8:31 left in the 3rd (start of the first TD drive) to the final TD in OT. That's 42.9% of the game. The other 24.5% of the game (the first 15 minutes, 41 seconds), was a wash as both teams exchanged punts early.

Here ya go, another chance to respond since you ignored this last week.

there have been 2 divisions in the NFL that have been worse than the AFC east in terms of W/L and competitiveness over the last 3-5 years.

A few of us did the math, laid it out, etc...and still...wont accept it.

LMAO

Nfc tittle game: New Orleans(11-5 division winner but 3rd seed) cinderella story gets brought back to reality after a 41-13 mugging by 14-2 Seattle(1st seed)

Afc tittle game: Oakland dominance(15-1 and 1st seed) ends after a 27-20 loss to 13-3 and 2nd seed New England

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Yet you disappeared for moths maybe you were hanging out with fat stacks on the French Riveria?

I dont have a contract at SportsHoopla, I spent 2 weeks leading up to that game predicting the Pats would demolish the Falcons

Nothing to run away from

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

he still calls the yankees last title "recent" too i bet.

Unfortunately I know you a long time, and know that when your hero Tom Brady went almost a decade without a title, shitting his pants in every big game for almost that decade, you celebrated his titles like they all happened this morning

You could dis-agree, but you would be lying

Hey @Rock Strongo

Do you also want some standings up in here?

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

There's no way the division will be worse than in 2007. The Bills, Jets, and Dolphins went 6-24 in games played outside the division that year.

Dolphins may be the only saving grace

Jets are literally, without exaggeration a 1-15 roster

The Bills should be in that neighborhood, prob more like 5-11

Yeah and remember 2007, the Dolphins did go 1-15, Jets were 4-12, and Bills were 7-9. And 4 of the Bills wins came because they swept the Dolphins and Jets, 2 of the Jets wins came because they beat the Dolphins twice (and the other two wins were in OT), and the Dolphins only win came in OT against a last place Ravens team that went 4-12. Those 3 teams had a combined 2 wins against teams over .500.

We aren't talking about the Super Bowl. We are talking about the NFC.

And their big strong playoff run from last year.

That ended in the shitter.

And you don't think Shanahan is a loss?

But they got lucky....

Of course, better lucky than good.

LOL

Thats pretty bad......I guess someone has to win the 2 Bills/Jets games this season

sure. why not?

I blame Seattle

They spawn coaches that ruin the fun for everyone else

Funny thing is, the next year with Brady injured, it was one of the best divisions in football. 26-14 in games played outside the division. Only the NFC South had a better record that year.

Have to play the hand you are dealt.

Other teams have been fortunate in the way things have fallen and still fucked it up.

Sure. New England was fundamentally more sound at the end of the day. #1 coach, top 3 QB, top scoring D. Really tough to beat that combination even on a good day and thats why I think they are the prohibitive favorite as new challengers need to emerge from the AFC pool.

The list of QBs that New England faced last year was embarrassing for the NFL imo. The modern game is pretty much based on the AFC having Brady, Peyton and one or two elite defenses every year. The AFC really needs to step up because its basically the NFL version of the NBA East where its one big star (Lebron/Brady) sleepwalking over everyone else.
