Manoueverable posted:Packers beat the teams everyone else loving hates so everyone else hates the Packers only slightly less I doubt there was the same animosity for the Pats back then as there would be a few years later. (I am not sure because I was five at the time so obviously don't remember much of how the rest of the NFL really viewed the pats at the time.)

As it stands now, with the exception of QB, KC has more talent on both sides of the ball and probably more depth. Not to mention an objectively better coaching staff.

Goddamn was that game a treat. Elway actually left the field to the locker room while the Jags were doing the kneel downs because he's a shook bitch at heart and everyone knows it. You can watch that game here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgn-C6QLtuI https://youtu.be/sgn-C6QLtuI?t=6638 =

If we got a pro bowl QB is a nice fantasy for a lot of teams. And discounting QB the Raiders have a way better offense. You've got Kelce and not much else. Defense tho, yeah probs.

That the Jaguars had no chance against them so the Broncos might as well sit around and jerk off instead of playing the game, then they did and the Jags killed them. So then the Jaguars went to Foxborough and played in a foggy mess of a game, and then the Patriots got spanked by the Packers because of a loving kick returner and bigot.

A lot of people thought the Jags were going to be shredded by Denver, in part because the Jags were only in their second year of existence and because Denver rolled through the regular season to the point where they were resting dudes with like three weeks to go in the season or some poo poo. (which is why the Packers blew 'em out when they played that season; Elway, Davis et al barely played in that game) But a lot of people slept on the Jags that year, to the point where they beat an aging but still decent Bills team and sent Jim Kelly to the retirement home. Eli Wiggum posted:Eh, I wouldn't exactly say they killed them. The final score was like 30-27 with the Jaguars scoring the go-ahead touchdown near the end of the game. Denver was up 12-0 on 'em to start out the game, too. It was definitely a very tight game.

They were a pretty  playoff team that just kind of had everything break their way until they ran into the Packers.The passing game was above average but not great or anything, the defense was league average, and the running game was below average even though they had Curtis Martin. Drew Bledsoe was always kind of dumb but could huck it real good. And that's kind of it, I think? Pats fans were thrilled to have him instead of the likes of Tony Eason, but him going against peak Favre and the #1 defense in the league was just kid of lol.

They were a pretty good team, and the end result of a 4 year rebuilding process. in '93, Parcells takes over, flushes the roster, drafts Bledsoe #1 and the team is awful, but then wins out in December (to go 5-11... yeah) and show they were on the right track. '94 the team is still very thin, they start 4-6, and have 0 running game, but Parcells gives up and lets Bledsoe throw every down, and they go 10-6 before losing to the Belichick Browns in the playoffs. '95 the wheels fall off, I ... kinda forgot what happened since I spent a chunk of the season in Hong Kong, and only could get news about what happened from USA Today blurbs, but the team regressed hard and was a mess. '96 Curtis Martin's in his 2nd year, they've got a rookie Terry Glenn to go along with Ben Coates and Troy Brown in their prime and the offense is pretty beastly, while the defense is good enough behind a bunch of super guys like Willie McGinest, Ty Law, Lawyer Milloy and Tedy Bruschi.

Embarrassingly late to this discussion, but Frank Gore will be in the Hall. His squeaky clean image and inevitable accomplishment of being a Top 5 all-time rusher will put him over the top. He's not first ballot, but he'll eventually get in.

Alter Ego posted:Wasn't that the Super Bowl where Reggie White clowned Max Lane so badly Lane needed therapy afterwards? Yeah, that was the game where the Patriots pull it within one score in the third, then immediatley give up a 100 yard Desmond Howard Kick return, then Reggie White sodomized Max Lane for consecutive sacks to kill the next drive and I go listen to KMFDM for a year.

The one thing I remember about KMFDM is that they were one of the many blamed for the Columbine shooting because Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were huge fans of theirs, so they ended up changing their name to MDFMK
