Which team do you think was better?
Loved both teams. Was (I thought at the time) a rejuvinated D with young and skill at important spots. I'd have to agree here and say 2016, if pressed.2014 was a great team that got hot at the right time. 2016 was straight up dominant, only losing with an injured third string rookie at QB and at the last second against SEA.
I chose 2014. The comeback against the Falcons was unbelievable, but that team had to put themselves in a 28-3 hole in the first place. I also think that stretch of tough offenses that the 2014 team had to contend with (and dominate for the most part) really fortified their confidence. I also think the 2014 Seahawks were a better team than the 2016 Falcons (certainly defensively).
Man, both teams were great though. Both really fun years.
Agree on a slight edge to 2014 however using 28-3 to justify 2014 being a better when the 2014 Divisional game vs BAL in which they came back from two 14 point deficits is equally crappy. That rationale doesn't add up.
2016 had more talent offensively by a smidge but 2014 was better defensively.
Agree28-3 wasn't to justify 2014 over 2016 per se, but more to say I don't count the comeback as a huge bonus to the 2016 team. I wouldn't use the 10 point comeback against Seattle either for the same reason.
This is one of those choices that I don't think you can go wrong with. I think the 2014 team beats the 2016 team, at least the two rosters that played in the Super Bowl. Put a healthy Gronk on the 2016 team and I'd probably go the other way.
How lucky are we to even be having this debate?
