NFL 2019-20: The Patriots Are A Terrible 11-3 Team!

Stafford may not be playing all that great, but a lot of the issues are with the McVay- some of what he is calling is pretty bad. And he's wasted TO's with some bad challenges (which is on the staff for not seeing what is going on very well).
 
While that was an exciting game, can I say that it was not played all that well? Stafford may have done better than Jimmy G, but it wasn't all that great. D played well when it needed to- but that next to last SF possession was pretty odd, let alone that last play.
 
This is where I once again make my case that the Cardinals are the most inept franchise in North American sports.

Oldest franchise, began playing in 1898.
Charter member of the NFL since 1920.
Only two* league titles, the last coming in 1947.
The first league title shouldn’t count, and is an insane story on its own. So really it’s one title in 100+ years of NFL play.
74 years is the longest active title drought of the Big Four. Beating out the Leafs and Guardians is an impressive feat in that regard.
Third worst winning percentage in league history behind Jacksonville and Tampa.
Relocated three times. Sure, there are franchises with success that get relocated (A’s may be the best example), but it’s another thing to keep moving solely because you’re bad. Even the Lions have managed to stay in the same city.

I have a group of friends I play cards with once a week. One of the guys is originally from Michigan, loves the University of Michigan, hates Michigan State, and loves all things professional sports in Michigan, but readily acknowledges their ineptitude.

A few years ago when the Vikings signed Cousins, another of our group (an overly demented Vikings fan) got into an argument with Michigan guy over the Cousins signing. Eventually the Michigan guy said "Stafford will win a Super Bowl before Kurt Cousins," as a statement indicating his thoughts on Cousins and the signing. That challenge prompted an immediate response from our Vikings fan, and a $100 bet. At the time the rest of us basically viewed it as a bet equivalent to whether Mars or Venus will be the first to crash into earth.

It'll be an interesting couple of weeks at cards.

I had no idea the Cardinals existed before 1920. Were they Chicago or did they start somewhere else?

Edit: huh. Colors are from the University Chicago, that is so cool!


In 1898, Chicago painting and building contractor Chris O'Brien established an amateur Chicago-based athletic club football team named the "Morgan Athletic Club". O'Brien later moved them to Chicago's Normal Park and renamed them the "Racine Normals", since Normal Park was located on Racine Avenue in Chicago. In 1901, O'Brien bought used maroon uniforms from the University of Chicago, the colors of which had by then faded, leading O'Brien to exclaim, "That's not maroon; it's cardinal red!" It was then that the team changed its name to the "Racine Street Cardinals".[SUP][1][/SUP]

The original Racine Street Cardinals team disbanded in 1906 mostly for lack of local competition. A professional team under the same name formed in 1913, claiming the previous team as part of their history. As was the case for most professional football teams in 1918, the team was forced to suspend operations for a second time due to World War I and the outbreak of the Spanish flu pandemic. It resumed operations later in the year (one of the few teams to play that year), and has since operated continuously.
