There's definitely some teams that would be glad to have that wining percentage. Cleveland, Detroit, Buffalo and Minnesota come to mind just off the top of my head.

Bo REALLY has you mule toolers all excited coming out of the wood work with that little 5-3 record

[BroncoBuff]

You guys are classic.....

"The next time I'm wrong in this tread will be the first time!"
"You haven't proven me wrong about anything" ... "Disproven beyond the shadow of a doubt!"

Classic ...

Somebody mentioned the 72 Dolphins somewhere ...

TRIVIA: Other than their 17-0 record, that team achieved and set a VERY impressive statistical record that can only be tied, never broken. What is it??

I dunno ... You'll be proud to know that hanging around here a little bit has caused me some doubts. Somebody here posted how our last four wins in a row are against teams that are. I think it was 1-4 in their last five games. Every one of them.

That is NOT encouraging. But overall Nix is a stud.

Thank you, sir

And I'm NOT shy about touting our 8-2 record in Championship Games. These Chiefs wieners in here are all whipped up because I don't count their AFL glory ... Well there were only eight teams (later 9 and 10 teams) in the AFL.

There's 13, 15, 16 in the AFC. Our road was much tougher than their first two SB appearances.

Why do people entertain this shit?

You CHEATED. That's the easiest way possible!

RaidersCellar, context? What context?! There was no "context" in Beautiful Mind's shack, and there's no context in here. You guys are obsessed with the Denver Broncos, every one of you.

Again, the "Chiefs Suck" thread at Huddle (which started on the Mane in like 2012) has by far the most replies of any thread on the board. It also has about 150x more views than the typical thread there. You're obsessed w/ KC.

At best, you can say that both fanbases are obsessed. Difference is, only one is fueled by jealousy.

Personally, I view Denver as the sitcom that always delivers, week after week.

Sorry to break it to you, but that's how sports streaks and eras are discussed, you all know this. I've been VERY complimentary about the Chief's current Dynasty, but the whole point of my comparison was the five decades before Mahomes showed up.

All righty then...let's compare accomplishments from this millennium. That's a quarter of a century. Pretty good sample size, wouldn't you say? Who comes out on top?

Uh, yeah, you said that you personally don't count "minor league" stats, aka AFL accomplishments pre-1970. If you count them, why would you not include them in your comparisons?

Btw, isn't it impressive that a "minor league" team blew out a major league team in January 1970?

The NFL recognizes all AFL games and stats. You're literally the only person I've ever seen make this argument. And you want to talk about obsession?

_____________

A: In addition to their 17-0 record ....

The 1972 Dolphins OFFENSE finished:
#1 in the League in yards gained
#1 in the League in points scored

The 1972 Dolphins DEFENSE finished:
#1 In the League in yards allowed
#1 in the League in points allowed

Freakin' amazing. Since I ran across this, maybe 20 years ago, I haven't mentioned the 85 Bears once.

And not just that. Those 1997,1998, and 2015 Donks were beneficiaries of some of the most horrifically biased officiating in the Donks favor that anyone has ever seen.

One example (and there are plenty of others) is that 2015 Sunday Night game that they literally stole from NE (the bogus Gronk OPI).

More teams makes the road automatically tougher? As if they have to play them all?

You're really getting desperate.

Btw, you don't want to compare roads. Imagine if the best team standing in Mahomes' way was a team QB'd by Bernie Kosar. He'd never miss the Super Bowl. And don't feed me some BS about the Browns being loaded. If Denver were beating loaded teams, they wouldn't have lost in the SB by 5,000 points.

[Rasputin]

Let's go head to head shall we?

128 games against each other

Chiefs beat the Donks 72 games

Donks beat the Chiefs 56 games


Difference Chiefs beat the Donks 16 more games.


**** Donk Forever

How could they possibly be "deferring payments to fund a new stadium" in 1996, 1997, or 1998 when there was literally no such place for them to defer payments to?

It was just a bold-faced lie by Pat Bowlen when he got publicly exposed for violating & cheating the salary cap circa 2000-2002.

Strong chance that the NFL PR machine helped concoct this flawed excuse.

The timeline doesnt hold up to scrutiny and would have been exposed had the internet been what it is today.

What were the NFL's options? They couldn't go back and replay two SBs...What about teams like the Steelers...that got beat in the AFCCG? How much lost revenue did that cost the city? What if fans start to lose interest?

It was a potential PR nightmare that had far reaching implications....so they attempted to squash it.

Anyone with common sense knows what the rub is...those SBs should have an asterisk.

[RealSNR]

Is Buff going to downplay the Packers SBs too? There were only 12 NFL teams in 1960
