(Poll) How did you really feel about the prospect of a 5-4 SB record

[brdmaverick]

One day maybe I will meet someone who can make a logical argument for why 5-4 is worse than 5-3 or 5-0. Reaching the SB is better than not getting there. Getting there 9 times is more impressive than only 5 times. If the numbers of wins are the same then the tiebreaker clearly goes to the person who went there more often (i.e. won more games in the postseason).

Trust me I hear you .... and agree with you, but the weird thing is........if someone asked you if you’d rather have Brady have a 5-4 super bowl record or 5-6, I actually think I may lean towards 5-4 (which would go against what I thought I believed)

6-5 is much better than 5-6.

I wanted this one to silence the Steeler fans

now go 19-0 next year, get #7 and the whole team can retire lmao

Since Deflategate, I've been saying (out loud and to myself) that I'm done with the NFL once this dynasty ends. Part of that is just getting old and becoming more choice-full about how I spend time/energy/attention.

You just wrote down my favorite fantasy for how it all ends. Although I was thinking #8, after winning #7 next year, so they can also be the only team with three in a row.

Picture this: The post game locker room celebration at the end of SB LV. Pats end the season 19-0 with SB #8, and every player over 30 plus Belichick and Kraft Sr. retires at the podium. One giant "Thanks, it was great, and now we have better things to do."

Then I can do the same without regret.

The Legacy of TB12 is enhanced with a (currently) 6-3 record as against 5-4, it even sounds so much sweeter, but that's me.

Not possible, as there is no logic to it at all!

How can anyone penalize a conference champion for getting that far?

Idiotic!

I admit, I’m biased, but I doubt I’ll ever see anyone in my lifetime as great as Jordan. Absolutely clutch too.

But now I sound like an old timer ranting on about Sammy Baugh LMAO

NBA Titles:
Bill Russell - 11
Sam Jones - 10
Tom Heinshon, KC Jones, Tom Sanders & John Havilcek - 8
Jim Loscutoff, Frank Ramsey & Robert Horry - 7
Bob Cousy, Kareem Jabbar, Michael Jordan & Scotty Pippen - 6

The players in green are all Celtics and never won a thing without Russell, the GOAT of all GOATS.

Jordan didn't win anything until Bird was gone. Bird's Celtics owned him.

If Jordan had to play against Russell he probably wouldn't have been able to get his shot off on many occasions.

 

[1960Pats]

I didn't think that I cared but now that Brady is 6-3 (Pats 6-5) it does sound much better.

One other positive is the fact that the AFC is back to within one in overall SB wins, 26-27.
