GIL BRANDT---THE BIGGEST WINDOWS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR SUPER BOWLS

[mraynrand]

Staus quo! TT has to stop feeding Eddie!

[pbmax]

Bengals and Vikings on this list plus Steelers and Patriots takes the logic of the piece (length that window is open), kidnaps it, handcuffs it to a chair and leaves it in an abandoned warehouse.

Really a metaphor for Gil Brandt's mind.

Beat me to it.

no kidding. The reason why the window is open for NE and the Steelers is exactly the same reason it's open for the Packers - simply put, it's the way they run their organizations and build their teams.

Status quo?

2012: Scored 433 points (27.1/g), 5th of 32 in the NFL. Allowed 336 points (21.0/g), 11th.
2013: Scored 417 points (26.1/g), 8th of 32 in the NFL. Allowed 428 points (26.8/g), 24th.
2014: Scored 486 points (30.4/g), 1st of 32 in the NFL. Allowed 348 points (21.8/g), 13th.
2015: Scored 368 points (23.0/g), 15th of 32 in the NFL. Allowed 323 points (20.2/g), 12th.

I found it interesting that Brandt thinks the Steelers have a bigger window of opportunity for Super Bowls and not the Packers when he talks about Pitt having a top 5 QB - which is debable, a top 5 WR - Jordy is a top 10, and top RB - Eddie would be good enough if he can get his eating disorder under control. Our defense is better than the Steelers so I'm having a hard time trying to figure out why he believes Pitt's window is wider than ours...

You think the Packers are too laissez faire and you like the Bengals? Haven't won a playoff game since 1990 yet they've had the same coach for 13 years and the same GM for 25 years. Can't get more laissez faire than that.

No... I wrote:

I'm watching their progress. The Bengals are it seems to me knocking on the door. Will they win a Super Bowl before the Green Bay Packers?

I believe their ahead of the Packers in real terms and Super Bowl contender.

It's way too obvious to me now that TT's style cannot win for Aaron Rodgers and Packer Nation.

To be in tune and winning you must keep up with what the real contenders are doing. Even that 'only' gives you a real chance.

Right now the Green Bay Packers are 'a stuck in TT's Mud' franchise.

Ted Thompson MUST get out of his self made mud.

MM...is just along for TT's ride. I actually feel some sympathy for MM as to deal with what I've always seen in Ted Thompson has to be

I watch a lot that's NOT Packers.

That's practise gives me an edge in Fantasy Football Competitions but moreso have a better insight in all things NFL.

I'm far from being NFL ignorant. It's a main hobby and been so for well over 5 decades.

With TT as he is......WE Can 'ONLY' lose.

Other than the fact that it has, and that you're totally wrong, you make a solid point.

We have been to the NFC Championship Game 3 times in ten years. We won 1 and lost 2 in OT. Over that save time frame 2 other teams have made 3 NFC Championship games. That would be Seattle Seahawks and SF 49ers.

PS- I have won a $250,000+ pot in the WSOP Main Event checking on every street. You might have even seen me on EPSN during the 2006 Main Event coverage.

I'm not referring to checking after the deal of your down cards......rather checking after the Turn and /or River.

You and a 250 K Pot...not bad.

My best...DOUBLE THAT ........a 500K Pot.

I watch your progress and the Pro Pickem. I do see potential.....but your a ways from the Big Dogs aren't you Thunderdan? That should encourage you and I give you full marks for effort. It's a tough group in terms of some that compete every season. I've seen too many here come in....Fail Dramatically. It's all about those who imagine they know and those who DO know ThunderDan.

You...your knocking on the door Thunderdan. You may one day claim a Championship. Separate yourself as well.....MEN and boys.

That aside it's a lot like playing pool. You must pay to learn. Ever go up against....that.... 'the Ole Dog' and playing pool ThunderDan? As long as he's cool and the nerves in check. Your likely in a Best of 11...Toast. He'll eat you up. I've been a competitor all my life. ..and a WINNER. Not bragging ...simply stating my life's experience and my views here.

The Packerrats Pro Pickem': I encourage your BEST efforts. Winning a Championship and that event is difficult. I wish you so much good analysis and 'of course' LUCK ThunderDan. I'm always pulling for a new Blood Champion. Some of us need the REAL competition.


RE: TEXAS HOLDEM'

I'd enjoy having your sit with me......on any Five Table. and $$$$ in my pockets $$$$

I'll certainly claim this.....I'm an Old Dog. You cannot pull any SHIT on me.

That's why I cannot agree with you Homers here and the Green Bay Packers real chance and Super Bowl. I want a WINNER !

I'm just sick with all we've had since our last Super Bowl which looks right now like nothing more than an Fluke. Ted Thompson and his plan.

NOT working ...won't get us that Super Bowl.

It will 'only' allow us a shot at the NFCN Division Championship because he pinned Aaron Rodgers on his lapel.

If they're ahead of the Packers, why can't they win a playoff game? Packers had their worst offense in a decade and still won a playoff game. What specifically makes the Bengals more of a Super Bowl contender than the Packers?

Why don't you go follow whomever wins the Superbowl then? It's really your only argument - to say the Packers aren't as good as whomever won this year. Your insight here is essentially worthless. You can't outline anything concrete that would work better, except to cherry pick other's successes while ignoring their failure. You can't make an argument that any team in the last ten years - except perhaps 1 or 2 - is better and more successful that the Packers - but that's beside the point, because you don't actually make arguments. If you did, you might be interesting. You're just bitching. Honestly, you are as thoroughly inane as Wist, except that he actually knows something about football.

Woody-

When you have 6 figure winnings on live Major Tournament Poker and have final Tabled a WSOP Event I'll listen to your poker ramblings. In fact, I cashed in the WSOP again this summer.

As to the Pro Pick'Em. I spend 2 minutes a week on the picks. I don't spend time researching. I simple go with my gut feeling.

Our records so far:
Woody - 166-100 62.41%
ThunderDan - 158-108 59.40%

Over 266 games you have picked 8 more games correctly. Well done. You deserve the trophy.

[woodbuck27]

Other than the fact that it has, and that you're totally wrong, you make a solid point.

All that was .....was an apparent FLUKE...until there's a repeat Super Bowl win for 'the TT and MM and Aaron Rodgers' Green Bay Packers Era.

Well Thank You and a wee hint and Packerrats Pro Pickem:

Focus on esoxx....He's 'the VERY BEST' I'd venture to say anywhere in terms of consistency.

As I wrote earlier and Texas Holdem'..

I'd relish playing you on a Texas Holdem...Five Table.

You'd be tested.

I've never focused on a certain players style and ever lost to that player.

If I decide I'll win...I'll win !

Sadly that's moot as we'll never face one another .
