New thread for the upcoming NFL Season. I CANT WAIT!

 

[SlenderChef]

I wish that I could be excited for football season, but my team is going to be trash again. </3

 

[I Bleed Duke Blue]

NFL gets more and more boring as the years go by due to predictability. Not really that excited tbh.

Sure Pats will just win it all again

Who's your team?

 

[I Bleed Duke Blue]

Who's your team?

Packers, and given that they pretty much always go deep, I should be in a position of excitement compared to you rooting for a team that can't even win the worst division in football. But the Patriots ruin it for teams that are actually SB or close to SB caliber.

It's easy for you not to care about Pats dominance, because the Colts don't contend.

 

[I Bleed Duke Blue]

Also, look at the suffering ratings across the board, I'm not speaking for myself, the sport is losing popularity.

I'll always be a fan but it's gotten worse over the years. Just my opinion, but not an opinion that is felt by others. It's not only because of the Patriots.

And that's the difference between the Packers and Colts fans, one fanbase talks shit about pointless season games.

Go blame deflated footballs again for the reason you lost by 38 to the Pats in a Conference Championship. :/

Cowboys blew em out in Lambeau, how'd that work out in the playoffs?

Hold this L. And not all colts fans blamed the deflated footballs. Beat us first then talk

I'll just leave this here.

Hold this L : You cannot even win the WORST division in football. That's a much better sample size than one game (that you almost blew btw).

Packers are always one of the most entertaining teams to watch for haters + lovers alike. Usually not as one sided as the Falcons game. all the other playoff losses have been very close games. And their wins are usually close as well.

Nobody scrambling to watch the Colts, or anyone in that god awful pathetic excuse of a division.

You honestly lost all credibility when you tried to chirp a season game lol. Do you think the Packers fans will take destroying Seattle 38-10 over the botched onside kick game? No...

Nobody cares about season games lol. You conveniently point out the worst stretch of their season that they've had in years. Terrible argument. In no universe can you actually argue the Colts are better or have been more successful in the last 10 yrs. Packers are right up there. Probably top 3 - 5 in the last 10 yrs.

Colts not even in the top ten. Just facts.

That awkward moment when the colts and packers have the same amount of rings in the last 10 years and the colts have also appeared in more super bowls than the packers in the last 10 years...

And you talk about us getting blown out by the patriots in the afc championship like you guys didnt literally get embarassed by the falcons in the nfc championship LMAO. Kinda hypocritical if you ask me.

 

[I Bleed Duke Blue]

I'll just leave this here.

You got me man , you won an early november game with both teams sputtering. Mad props. That really helped the Cowboys out in the playoffs, that blowout win they had in Lambeau. OH WAIT.

That's like me chirping UNC fans for Duke beating them 2 out of 3 times when they won it all. It doesn't work that way. But again, I don't blame you, you're not rooting for a contending team, so early November games are your Super Bowl. All good. I can understand that as an Athletics baseball fan.

No denying from me the Manning Colts were on par with Green Bay, but that was a long ass time ago brother.

Falcons were blowing the Patriots out too and then got conservative and scared. The year you guys got blown out by the Patriots we beat them, if we want to use your pointless season metric.

Difference is I don't make excuses for the Falcons loss. Like Colts fans do for getting blown out to the Pats.

 

[Hostblapstat]

Lol keep bragging about beating the cowboys in the playoffs, you guys got clobbered by the falcons afterwards lmao.

Patriots still won the super bowl the year we lost to them in the afc championship so don't even bother trying to compare.

On the other hand, you guys got blown out by the runner up (Falcons) LMAO.

And like I said already, I dont have excuses for the loss to the patriots, I dont care about that deflategate nonsense we straight up lost that game.

Not sure if trolling or..

A: I disproved your theory of weighting season games way too heavily (Packers beat the Pats the year they won the Super Bowl buddy)

B: The Falcons were blowing out the Patriots too. It was a 25 point lead. Then they clammed up and got conservative. It happens in games of that magnitude. The falcons were very clearly the 2nd best team in football, not like your Colts wouldn't get blown out by them too.

C: I'm not bragging about the Cowboys win actually, I expected them to beat Dallas and I was simply disproving your season boner AGAIN.

D: You still can't refute / haven't refuted the fact you can't win the worst division in football LOL. Colts fans are at the bottom of the totem pole in being able to talk trash on anyone. You're right down there with the Bears basically.

 

[I Bleed Duke Blue]

@Hostblapstat just riddle me this then, why couldn't you win the division? A division in which the winner was the BIGGEST UNDERDOG in NFL HISTORY in their playoff game (Texans).

I get you defending your team, but you're just defending a trash product at the moment, and nobody that isn't a Colts fan would even have to think about a Packers Colts debate in terms of who's been better lol. It hasn't been close since Brett Favre was their QB. AKA ages ago.

You pull out the Patriots and Falcons, the two fan-bases that can legitimately trash talk Green Bay. Last I checked that isn't the Colts. And Rodgers still has his ring, so until Matty Ice equals that, you take Rodgers career over his every time.

Here's where the real proof in the pudding is: Your team isn't there yet if you brag about season games. Any team. Any fan. It's about titles, not season games. You will NEVER see me brag about a season win and if you do feel free to call me out on it. It's about the playoffs, always has and always will be. The amount of times the Packers have blown people out in the season to lose to that same team is enormous, season games are pointless.

Compare Green Bay's last second loss to the Falcons in the season and their blowout loss in the playoffs. Every game is different and unpredictable. That is the nature of the best of 1.

Or the Packers SB year, the Falcons beat them in the season, were the 1 seed, and got blown out. You never know in a Best of 1.

All goes back to my original point, it's easy for you to be hype about the NFL every year because you get to be unbiased come playoff time because the Colts are not there right now. The fans of teams that are there clawing for a title don't find the same enjoyment you do. Frankly I'm tired of seeing Green Bay choke. But I'm not gonna pretend the Colts are even remotely on their level right now. And Ik you're not stupid enough to believe it, you're just mad I had a go at them. I don't think they're immune to criticism. They play in a god awful division and have performed terribly.

And no, again, beating a team in a season game means nothing at all. There's no argument you or anyone can give that season games have any relevance come January + Feb.
