    So what your saying is all the other championships and super bowls won before this season don't matter.

    Yes. It does not matter in the current situation. All that it does is give bragging rights but the past cant help you in the present now can it.

    I think they matter a HUGE amount. It says who has the most storied franchise. You are discrediting winners from the past

    All it gives is bragging rights. It does not matter if you won a Superbowl 30 years ago. It matters what your team is doing now. Does it matter that the Lions went 0-16? No because they are doing perfectly fine now.

    It kind of does. Most players want to go the storied franchises. I can't believe I have finally met someone with total disregard to the past.

    I dont have total disregard to it. I am saying is all it matters is to have bragging rights. "Hurr duh durr it doesnt matter that we suck now we went 16-0 before so were better than you guys hurr duh derp".

    Players dont choose where they go. They get drafted. Thats why rivalries now are usually only real rivalries in the minds of the fans in the NFL, barring certain rivalries like Steelers Ravens and Eagles Giants.

    *FACEPALM* Would you rather have the most super bowl wins in history or to win a super bowl this season. Actually the players CAN ASK to be TRADED.

    They can ASK to be traded but the team does not have to trade them if they dont want to. And I would rather go to the team that just won the SuperBowl because that means they are a good team NOW WHEN I AM PLAYING. I wouldnt care if they were good 30 years ago I only care if they are good now.

    Most players want to go to the storied franchises because they usually have more money.

    I dont know about you, but if I would have to choose between the Dolphins when they were 0-7 or the Lions when they were 5-2, I would choose to go to the Lions regardless of their history.

    I cant believe the defense blew it at the end.

    Could the Eagles possibly win their division? It seems their chances are actually good considering the Cowboys and Giants seem to be on collapse.

    We learned 3 things this week.
    1,) There will be no 16-0 team
    2.) There will be no 0-16 team
    3.) Romeo Cromell is badass.
