Blitz of 404 Error: Sep 19, 2007; Joe Biden is a top 15 president

Kalli posted:

They won 6 games by over 20 points that season, that's really really good. The Patriots have 6... in the last two seasons combined.

They also managed to get blown out by a 4-12 Bengals team and lost twice to the Tom Cable Raiders. They also had nightmarishly bad special teams which killed them in a bunch of games.

That 2010 Raiders team went 6-0 in division and 2-8 outside of the division, missing playoffs. Then AL Davis fired Cable because cable said "you can't call us losers anymore" of their 8-8 season

^^ Denver had that super long stretch of being a good team from the 80's on and Elway was always a draw.

Woof Tampa. A team so usually hard to watch that it even has the least TNF games. (Detroit is a weird placement there because of the Thanksgiving games).

Pretty much the same deal as Denver. All those appearances were when they were good or had Marino. Pretty much disappeared from national games in the 2000's.

Good one!! But he's mostly into the Packers. We always get into these big arguments about the Ravens. I've been Joe Flacco's biggest defender with him!

I tell him I think Flacco didn't get to play to his potential here. And he's like "no he is just bad period" so I explain 2012 and how when we started using Boldin right he got a lot better. And also the Gary Kubiak year. And he's like "that doesn't prove anything" and I tell him it's not a court of law and you can't necessarily prove something like this. He says Flacco is stupid and I tell him he doesn't know anything about how smart Flacco is or if that even would affect his play and he's like "you can just tell" and that really gets on my nerves. He also thinks Lamar Jackson has to be dumb which gets on my nerves. He doesn't know these people.

He's not so bad. He's a pretty cool dude and I make him sound worse than he is cause I talk about what he does that annoys me on here. But I don't say stuff like "we talked about his kid who left for college and his helping them deal with anxiety" and "we talked about his garden and his breeding mantises" or how we go on these crazy warbler adventures and he's so competitive and just wants to "murder" other birders' lists which is so funny to me how he has all these rivalries and funny nicknames for other birders. But about football we have totally different stances on the game and just argue all the time.

He basically is the type who just still argues stuff like "but does he drive the team to win??" and stuff like that. Stuff I was on here saying 10 years ago
