I was wrong

[Rather Be Fishin']

Charger fans shouldn't go jumping up and down and throwing babies in the air just yet....they've still got to deal with the Broncos in Denver and if they win that, they'll have to face the winner of the Pats/Colts on the road...

THEN face the winner of the NFC.

Winning the SB from a WC slot is hard, which is why so few have done it. Winning it from the #6 slot even more so. It took until 2005 for it to happen.

Do you even realize how wrong you are? Over the last 7 years, how many SB winners were from a WC game?

And great job laying out the path of the Chargers to get to SB......outstanding work.

Believe 6/8 who have won on WC weekend have gone on to win the SB.

Now take that back to the invention of the WC spots and compare with the other slots.

All week I'd been saying that the Chargers would get shredded by the Bengals.

I was wrong.

The SD did a great job on Dalton and co., frustrating them and forcing the turnovers. Rivers and co. played it close to the vest and let Cincy beat themselves through turnovers.

And, as a Steelers fan, I couldn't be happier about being wrong on this. If I tried, I would fail.

It's been since 1990 - so 23 years without a playoff win - and it will be at least 24.

I was wrong but I'm alllllll smiles!!!

NOT ME, I was Right, I know the Bungals well , they are searching for a way to lose everytime they get near the playoffs.....It's just Marv-a-lost !!

Right. Because the WC spot started in 2005. :rollseyes:

History Story » History of the Wild Card

A new playoff format was unveiled as a result of the realignment that occurred prior to the 1970 merger of the National Football League and American Football League.

The merged league consisted of two conferences each containing three divisions. The three division winners and the non-division-winning team with the best won-loss percentage qualified for the playoffs. A predetermined post-season schedule was produced that rotated the home teams based on divisions, regardless of winning percentage. While that format was short-lived – the league dropped it in 1975 – the addition of a wild card team was permanent.

Now, go alllllllthe way back to 1970 and count the WC teams that won the SB, then get back to me big mouth.

 

[ATL96Steeler]

Totally agree, and I don't think any Charger fan thinks they will breeze by anyone. I see it as playing with house money though. Yeah it will sting to lose and be knocked out, but we weren't supposed to be here to begin with. This team is already way beyond expectations.

Congrats...admit I picked CIN as well.

I still feel as if CIN had the better team on paper, but they were outschemed, and the DEF is much better than I thought. I've seen Dalton under pressure so that part wasn't a surprise, but the fact that SD DEF did it was...if they play like that...they stand a good chance in DEN this week.

And why would we be talking about a time that only had 3 division winners plus one WC? If that is what you were talking about, then you should have clarified. Not after I showed proof to your very incorrect statement.

Wasn't taking a shot at you, was just relaying what I heard from watching the games this weekend.

But not all WC teams only 2010 GB and 2007 NYG were wc teams

since 1970 10 WC teams have made it to the SB and 6 have won it

Yes, but ALL those years I posted.....the team that won the SB also played in a WC game.

 

[Midnightangel]

Right. Which still means you were wrong.

I said it was rare that a WC team wins the SB.

And since we added a WC team to the mix, it's only been done 6 times.

So...you were wrong.

You just lost a football argument.

To a woman.

Proof of womanhood?

 

[Am I Blue Through it All?]

Ummm, actually YOU lost. I provided 7 years worth of Failures on your part. Try again.

And you aren't a woman. Transgender doesn't count, does it?

Oh, I think she is a woman. No spring chicken. But I want her to prove it.

 

[Midnightangel]

Let's add it up, shall we?

7 years of failures on my part?

OK, fair enough...

All those other years since 1970 are fails on YOUR part.

You lose.

Any way you slice it, you were WRONG.

You lost.

TY.

I said it's rare a WC teams wins the SB and I was right. He listed a few years where one did it.

And he even failed at that.

He left out the 2000 Ravens, who finished 2nd in the AFC Central division.

D'OH!!!

If we simply do the math we see that there are far more teams that won the SB from the 1-4 slot than either 5 or 6. He's wrong but can't admit it.

You aren't very bright. I went back the last 10 years to come up with SEVEN examples of your failure. I'm not going back any further. Admit you're wrong like you never do. hahaha

All you did was prove your own ignorance....

Winning the SB from a WC slot is hard, which is why so few have done it. Winning it from the #6 slot even more so. It took until 2005 for it to happen.

THAT is what I said. Now, let us examine it...

WINNING the SB from a WC slot is hard, which is why so few teams have done it.

YOU, stupidly, threw in teams that made it TO the Super Bowl but didn't win it. Those don't count since I said WINNING the SB from a WC slot is hard.

See the difference?

"Which is why so few teams have done it".

These are the teams that have...

1980 Raiders

1997 Broncos

2000 Ravens

2005 Steelers

2007 Giants

2010 Packers

2012 Ravens

Now, pay attention....ALL the other SB's have been won by teams that finished as division champs, and were not WC teams.

So we see that, by comparison, SO FEW TEAMS HAVE WON AS A WC.

Ergo, I was right - and you were wrong.

Usually people argue opinions on this board.

I presented you with FACTS - that means you can look them up. You still say you're right. Therefore I've come to the following logical conclusion...

You either like to argue and therefore facts don't matter OR

You can't comprehend what you read.

From this moment on I wont even read what you post. It's a waste of my time. You made my short list of people to ignore because you're a troll - nothing more.
