Your second point undermines your first point. And that's exactly what I am talking about. All those blowout wins the Patriots had didn't mean anything because that means exactly nothing when you cannot sustain that come playoff, time when the games actually matter. Which has been the team's problems in the playoffs for the past few seasons now. They haven't be able to play like that against the best of the best. That's the true test of how good a team is.Of course it does. They're doing exactly what a very good team should do against mediocre competition. The pats have done this many times the past five years, and we all took it as a sign as how good they are, rather than saying the win didn't matter.
If you're impressed with that Broncos beating on scrubs like the Giants, Eagles, Raiders, and the Ravens that had 6 new starters on defense, including bums like Ihedigbo and Huff, that's your prerogative. If people really believe the Broncos are going to keep this pace all season, you're either delusional or a Broncos fan in disguise. Or both.
Time and time again it has been proven that these offenses cannot sustain this level of play down the stretch and falter when it matters most. So, no, these blowout wins against pathetic defenses don't mean anything to me. When they're doing this late in the regular season and into the playoffs against real competent defenses, then come talk to me.
