Glad you're catching on to the idea that 6-10 is bad...

When have I ever said anything on here other than that the Oilers/Titans franchise is total trash? The only thing about that crap organization I respect at all is Fisher and I'm starting to have my doubts about him.

Well, I mean, taking shots about a team's performance when that team never lost by more than 4 points makes it relevant. If the fact that we've never trailed by more than 7 points isn't elite, then you're kidding yourselves. That's a feat never before accomplished.

Saying that a team is elite just because they have 6 losses, but all by less than 4 points is ridiculous. At what point did the margin of defeat make it less of a loss? An elite team wouldn't have lost 6 games regardless of the margin.

And just because a team wins a SB doesn't necessarily make them elite either. That Steelers team you referenced wasn't an elite team, they just got hot at the right time and got the matchups they needed to win the SB. They don't belong in the discussion of all time great teams just like this year's Green Bay team doesn't. The '07 Pats are the most dominant team in my lifetime, and they didn't even win the SB. but Still, no one in their right mind can make the argument that they weren't one of the greatest teams to ever play the game. They just picked the worst possible time for their first loss.

meh. I was just giving a comparison. Would you prefer to know that 3 of the Steelers 4 losses were by more than 4 points?

You should let the NFL know about this so they can use "losses by less than 4 points" as a standings tiebreaker. It'll clearly let you know who the best teams are. Losing by 6 is okay, but when you can keep it within 4 points (!!!) that's really an elite loss right there.

Crusse is unfortunately trying to make the point that the Packers are good to the skoal patrol. We know how they feel about teams from up north.

I'm well aware they're good and expect them to win. It's more the "yeah best team since the merger...HAHA Steve McNair's dead" that makes much of what they're saying ridiculous.

There's no question that the Packers are a good team, that's why they're the NFC champs. But seriously, he just tried to make the argument that a 10-6 team is somehow one of the elite teams in the history of the NFL just because they never lost by more than 4 points in any of those 6 losses. That's one of the most ridiculous arguments I've ever heard. Elite teams don't lose 6 games by any margin for any reason, period.

I see the problem. Someone failed reading comprehension. I never said we are the best team since the merger, just that we achieved something no team had done. You Oilers fans took that to mean that I think we are the best team of all time.

All I mean is that the Packers are an elite team this year. Acting like we aren't because we lost very close games is ridiculous.

We're in the Super Bowl. We're elite. Deal with it.

Well, they haven't trailed by more than a TD all season, which is impressive. You can't consider a team for all time great status until 10 years after the fact anyhow, as news cycles and nostalgia combine to make an imbalanced argument.

I was exaggerating, but "lack of 4-point losses" proves exactly nothing when you needed a miracle (in addition to Drew Stanton beating the Bucs, which is pretty damn close) to even make the playoffs in the first place. Kapeesh?

They're not going to be an all-time great.

Again, where is this margin of defeat argument coming from? YOU LOST 6 GAMES THIS YEAR and were an Eagles miracle punt return away from not even making the playoffs. That's not elite. However, trying to explain this to a fanbase who is too pathetic and moronic to appreciate what Brett Favre did for them for almost 2 decades is a tall order. I'm not surprised I failed on that task.

That is for posterity to decide, I say. I agree, but only a bumpkin wouldn't be impressed with this squad's season. Capisce?

What you are too dense to comprehend is that we do appreciate what he did.

Once he's not playing against us, we'll show it again.

We didn't have an elite record, but sometimes the record doesn't tell the whole story. No team wanted to face the Packers this postseason, because they knew it would be a very tough task.
No worries, though. When we win the Super Bowl, you'll be the shining beacon of light there to ensure everyone that the Packers really aren't that good.

Where in my prediction of them winning the biggest game in America did I say I wasn't impressed?

I haven't ever said the Packers aren't good, they just don't belong in the discussion with the greatest teams ever. I actually like a lot of the players on the team, but I'll never wish any level of success on those pathetic fans. Like I said before, they don't deserve this team.

Haha whatever. We have one of the most dedicated fan bases of all time. I've never heard someone talk out of their ass as well as you're doing right now.

Again, I didn't say we're the greatest ever. All I said is that we are elite this year, and part of that is due to the fact that we have done something that wasn't done in the last 50 years.
