Take a break from the predictions and laugh a little...

You said in another thread that you thought a team was elite if they consistently made the divisional round. You don't recall that?

I thought you have argued many times that the Jets proved they were the better team by beating NE in the playoffs?

pull up the quote, I may have misspoke.

I said from a Pats persepctive it is kind of fluky. Clearly the jets prove they were the better team that day but through 16 games NE was clearly the better team. Again, I weigh postseason more heavilty but I don't discount the reg season.

The teams that consistently put themselves in position w/ great reg seasons usuaulyl will break through at some point.

There should be no ifs, ands, or buts regarding elite teams. No questions at all. Besides, lately teams that aren't top seeds are the ones who win Super Bowls.

I don't remember which thread you said it in, and you have too many post to go through to find it. Don't you think that the teams that do not win Super Bowls should have a different title than the teams that do? Both should not be considered elite. The teams that consistently compete should be considered the better teams in the conference. The teams that do that and have also won a Super Bowl are elite.

How can a team prove it is better than another team in 1 game if anything can happen in 1 game? What each team had done before and what they have done since tells me who was really better.

Recently, it's the good teams who get hot in Dec/Jan that make runs through the play-offs and win SBs.

Which is proof that going 14-2 doesn't always mean anything unless you have the balls to win it all.
