Thread: By The Numbers: Seahawks Historical Defense Created By Soft Schedule

Jeez, it's still just mind boggling to think that the Broncos had to justify signing Peyton Manning. I can't get that to make sense.

Fine; I never said he had to take us to the SB to do that either. While we're talking consistently inconsistency though:

Why does whom one plays matter when when dismissing Seattles record, stats and Conference Championship as a sham, but with Arizona making the playoffs is proof a team's playoff caliber?

Super Bowl!

No idea, not my argument and I didn't implement any standards or requirements whatsoever. I couldn't possibly care any less what people think of Arizona. I hope you're not asking me to make sense of this.

Btw, are you certain you never made that argument?

I can't believe that we're 24 hours from kickoff of what will be the Broncos 3rd Super Bowl victory and you're still running around here trying to tell everyone how the Broncos suck, etc? Get bent already. ****.

I would like to report Davii's avy. I find it offensive.

Agreed. We have waited way too long for this and I just want to enjoy it.

We should sticky this.

Fair enough; it's probably beyond anyone (including its author) to make sense of that argument.

As sure as I can be without an exhaustive search. I've been VERY consistent that getting to (NOT necessarily winning) the AFCCG is my standard of actually accomplishing something in the playoffs rather than just showing up to get beatdown. I mean, OK, a team can win a playoff game without reaching the the Conference game if they play wildcard weekend, but they still haven't done much, and while a bye team had to accomplish something to earn that bye, they can't do jack IN the playoffs unless they reach the conference championship.

Make that game though and you're playing for the Lamar Hunt Trophy in what was originally the LEAGUE Championship for the whole AFL, plus a SB trip. That's where the big time starts in my book, what separates the Clevelands and Detroits who are just elated to be IN the playoffs finally from the great NFL teams seeking another Lombardi for an already stuffed trophy case.

Other folks have different standards and they're entitled to them, but that's mine and I'm entitled to it.

We're on page 3, so maybe I missed it: Please show me where I said ONE critical word about the BRONCOS in this thread? I've repeatedly said deriding Seattle doesn't make us any better, but can't recall saying anything about how good WE are one way or the other. I though this was a thread about Seattle being a paper tiger, not us being awesome? Okay, I lied: I didn't think that for a second, and my principal objection remains that Seattle doesn't have to be overrated crap for us to be great.

If a team hasn't done jack in the PO's unless they get to the CCG how does that help the notion that a team that didn't make the PO's is actually a PO caliber team? If there are teams in the PO's that aren't PO caliber how is a team not in the PO's PO caliber?

This just in...the Broncos AND Seahawks are both very good teams

Also.... No schedule in the NFL is soft. It's the freaking NFL.

Completely agree. This isn't college football. Any win in the NFL is an impressive one.
