So? New England was better than the Giants 2 years ago. Tenessee was better than Pittsburgh last year, as was Carolina. I think the best team in football wins the superbowl about one out of five years.
I think the Falcons are the darkhorse team,Matt Ryan is the real deal
My choice to win it all would be the Chargers if they can mature enough to finally win it all and avoid the fact that Turner is their HC.
Of course the heart always hopes the Patriots win but I still have doubts about this defense,especially in the new revamped secondary - Brady and the offense will have to score more than 500 points I think for the team to get where they want to be- They don't have to be as good as the 2007 offense but they better be somewhat close.
The Falcons benefited from an easy schedule and an absolute ton of luck last year. I'll be awfully surprised if they can match their 2008 record.
He probably just doesn't want to be viewed as a homer. Personally, I think the Ravens will go backwards, not forward.
they lost 3 times to the Squeelers last year so until they get past them I think the Steelers are better and since the Steelers haven't had to get past us for their wins I am sticking with my Pats though I might have picked them in 92 so I am a homer.
That's great. Did you have a point? How do you objectively rate which teams are better than others? Because Tennessee sure as hell wasn't better than Pittsburgh, and neither was Carolina.
Could you tell us why?
They deserve it in this way, they are consistently a Super Bowl contending team, if the media could just give them the benefit of the doubt just once it wouldnt seem like such a smack in the face.
All the more reason he should throw them a bone. It just seems fishy.He's not a good forecaster. He's better at reporting what already happened. Even he started laughing at himself when he kept picking against the Pats 2 years ago when they went 16-0 in the reg.
Perhaps you've missed it but the media has, by and large, "given us the benefit of the doubt" since 2007. This year, we were OVERWHELMING Super Bowl favorites before the Seymour trade. Now only half of the media is sticking with us as their pick while the either half flip flops. It might be for the best as I'd rather not have Poindexter John Clayton picking us as his Super Bowl favorite.
This isn't meant to be personal but GullyFoyle, you are by far the biggest homer I have ever come across. And I don't throw that term around often...
Maybe I should clarify my problem is only with the local media, and their aversion to the hometown teams.
They're a strong team, but I'm a) not hundred percent sold on Flacco or b) the running game. That said, if those two perform to expectations, they'll be up there with the Pats, Pitt, the Giants, Philly and (Favre permitting) the Vikes.
Love reading Reiss' reports, but I have a hard time picking the Ravens even making the playoffs this year. I think Cincy will be tougher this year and of course Pitt will be good. Not to mention the curse of the "sophomore" QB.
Defense aging, lost D coordinator, still have no recievers to speak of...wild card contender but super bowl no way.
Go ahead,flame away.
