Like I said earlier...that's my main concern...well, as concerned as I can be about football.
This new owner can spend $4.5 billion on a team without even thinking about it...he builds another Satanic temple like in LA, they will be artificially back to the SB. It's how it works with NFL corporate..."growing their brand"...they reward those owners who invest in their monopoly. You're seeing the unwarranted Donk media hype...this is a top-down initiative. They knew ownership was in flux...hell, Wilson was sitting next to Goodell at the SB. Of all the photo-ops available with a SB in LA...that was who they chose to position next to him. Fast-foward...Donks just sell for a record amount and Wilson, coincidentally, plays for said team. They are in prime-time 5 times after being a bottom tier franchise for 7 years.

Seahawks were 23-41 in the 4 years before Wilson, Chiefs were 42-22 in the 4 years before Mahomes. |

If we build a new stadium...we'll host a Super Bowl before long.

I don't agree that the defense prevented Mahomes from winning a second ring when the KC offense scored 9 and 24 points in their playoff exits. |

This has to be the very first time I've seen a Denver fan claim that the Chiefs had a top 10 D each of the last three years. Or any of the last three years for that matter. They were pretty solid in the points allowed dept, but overall those defenses were average at best, with some glaring holes. Remember, it took a Mahomes miracle (and 42 points vs the #1 D) just to earn the right to play in that Bengals game. |

NFL wanted to be in London by 2025. Walton-Kahn can build and share a stadium in Europe. With the building started by then. One will need to flip to NFC.

Denver was not 1 player away from a SB, but they are better and the division is as well. Definite progress that 'should' result in a playoff appearance. I still think they'll fall short of a playoff spot, but will end > .500 when it's all said and done. 10 wins is where I'm at right now. |

Denver does not need a new stadium, I hate all the talk around this being a possibility. I think it's just folly, but who knows... I just think it would be stupid. And, with as big of a week long show the SB is now, there's no way Denver or any cold weather team will host a SB. Makes no sense.

Btw, it's interesting that you mentioned the 24 points vs the Bengals as a huge offensive failure. Wilson has scored 24 or less in 11 of his 16 career playoff games. In fact, he scored 24 or less in several of his early playoff wins. I guess you have much higher expectations for Mahomes. Can't blame you there. |

I said he would’ve won 2-3 with an all-time great defense. There’s a difference. And it was mostly his absolutely depleted OL (combined with a bad night from the defense) that prevented him winning the 2nd. Last edited by staylor26; 06-07-2022 at 02:00 PM.. |

With Russell Wilson: 9 winning seasons, 1 losing season (Wilson injured) With Shaun Alexander: 6 winning seasons, 1 losing season Without either: 0 winning seasons, 5 losing seasons As for your second point, yes. A team that is built around the QB has different expectations than one built around the defense. |
