Yes he was. And Shannon was excellent. Even Shannon Sharpe called himself the second best Sharpe. He always had such immense respect for his brothers talent and even gave him his 1998 Broncos SB ring.

Pats weren't the most talented team this year, but got red hot in the playoffs and not even a genius Wade Philips defensive gameplan could stop them.

More embarrassing, scoring only 3 points in the Super Bowl, or 28-3?

Sterling was in my mind setting up to compete with Rice for best wide receiver ever before he was injured and he was far better than Shannon who is one of the best tight ends of all time. That said, Rice's ability to stay on the field goes a long way for him being the best ever.

I'd say this because 28-3 requires so many things to go wrong that blame can't be placed on any one or two people. Literally everyone on the Falcons except for Julio Jones hosed up in a huge way at some point during that comeback.

Whereas McVay wasn't prepared and Goff just had his lunch money stolen.

If any of like 14 different plays doesn't happen pretty much exactly that way, then the Falcons win that game. There was just absurd outcomes in that game.

That isn't true, their defenses were highly ranked in both 2005 and 2007, years he was around and playing at an all-pro level. The year he was hurt 2006 they dropped off drastically, and magically improved again when he came back for the playoffs.

He was a great player whose career was cut short.

lol alright if we have pivoted so far from the original discussion that we are now retconning the peyton manning colts defenses into being super good i think im done

28-3 means you won three quarters (by a lot), and just forgot to play the fourth

scoring three points in the super bowl means you forgot to show up to the drat game

The Colts under Dungy from like 2005-2009 were not bad defenses, they were actually really good. You're just thinking in some sort of "Great offense so must be bad defense" cliche.

They were literally the #1 defense in points against in 2007.

I feel kinda bad for Brian Flores, who, now as the head coach of the Dolphins, is going to be unfairly maligned for his eventual failure(s) there, due to the fact that he will never, ever, have the personnel he had in New England.

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
I know this will be a little controversial but I just have to get it off my chest:

I'm starting to get a little sick and tired of the New England Patriots winning everything all the time.

I think the Colts defense in 2007 benefitted from playing very bad offenses except for the 2007 New England Patriots and the 2007 San Diego Chargers, who defeated them. The best offense they played against and defeated was likely the 2007 Jacksonville Jaguars.

Even if they did, that doesn't suddenly make them bad. The 2000 Ravens had the same issue where bad teams are what put them into record-setting territory and they got lit up by teams like the Jaguars and Jets who could pass. But that doesn't make them not a great defense. Also I don't think the Colts were even bad defensively against the Chargers, it was mostly the Chargers' defense wrecking Manning and getting lots of turnovers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvVn3PLS2QU This is that Jaguars game and one of my favorites from Ravens history. But this is the same defense that set the points record. But they look so vulnerable at times here.

I wasn't trying to put words in your mouth I'm sorry my brother/roommate. Please forgive me :). It's not you it's more the contention that those Colts defenses were real bad in the manning era when that era they were actually pretty strong and highly ranked, even if they had help from bad opponents. Cause lots of great defenses had that kind of help just like my Ravens did.

I don't think the Pats really invented anything last night. They just played good defense and laughed as the Rams folded like a deck of cards.
