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

Just watching the highlights again- and just realized that Rogers blew chunks on that last drive they had. The time was perfect for them to do exactly what they let SF do- drive down the field and end the game with a score. But I'm betting that 3rd and 10 home run swing was called at the line- which wasn't even close to a reception. All they really needed to do was short plays and keep the ball on the field- and they were able to run and do short passes. Instead, they went with big plays to move the ball quickly- which resulted in the exact same thing for most of the night- not much.

It would be interesting to know, but it sure seems that Rogers ruined his own game.

Garoppolo Rogered Rogers on that last drive.
 
Crazy factoid of the morning: assuming Aaron Rodgers wins the MVP this season, it will continue a streak going back to Kurt Warner in 1999 of the MVP failing to win the Super Bowl...

2000: Marshall Faulk - St. Louis Rams (lost Wild Card Round)
2001: Kurt Warner - St. Louis Rams (lost Super Bowl)
2002: Rich Gannon - Oakland Raiders (lost Super Bowl)
2003: Co-Winners - Peyton Manning - Indianapolis Colts (lost AFC Championship); Steve McNair - Tennessee Titans (lost Divisional Round)
2004: Peyton Manning - Indianapolis Colts (lost Divisional Round)
2005: Shaun Alexander - Seattle Seahawks (lost Super Bowl)
2006: LaDanian Tomlinson - San Diego Chargers (lost Divisional Round)
2007: Tom Brady - New England Patriots (lost Super Bowl)
2008: Peyton Manning - Indianapolis Colts (lost Wild Card Round)
2009: Peyton Manning - Indianapolis Colts (lost Super Bowl)
2010: Tom Brady - New England Patriots (lost Divisional Round)
2011: Aaron Rodgers - Green Bay Packers (lost Divisional Round)
2012: Adrian Peterson - Minnesota Vikings (lost Wild Card Round)
2013: Peyton Manning - Denver Broncos (lost Super Bowl)
2014: Aaron Rodgers - Green Bay Packers (lost NFC Championship)
2015: Cam Newton - Carolina Panthers (lost Super Bowl)
2016: Matt Ryan - Atlanta Falcons (lost Super Bowl)
2017: Tom Brady - New England Patriots (lost Super Bowl)
2018: Patrick Mahomes - Kansas City Chiefs (lost AFC Championship)
2019: Lamar Jackson - Baltimore Ravens (lost Divisional Round)
2020: Aaron Rodgers - Green Bay Packers (lost NFC Championship)
2021: ???

Perhaps equally crazy, 9 NFL MVP's in this time span have made the Super Bowl, but are 0-9 in the Super Bowl.

too many QBs
 
<insert long drawn out argument about playoffs, best team, etc.>

Either way, it's either a product of the rules or the press. It's also why pro football is so extraordinarily boring.
 
I like how both games today involve teams fighting for getting to host a CCG with both #1 seeds losing.

Since I'm in the Bay Area and my wife is a 49ers fan, I'm rooting for TB because it would be statistically cool if the 49ers played LAR-DAL-GB-TB in the last 4 games, all of the top 4 seeds, with the first 3 being nailbiters and hopefully the fourth.

Fun fact: since 2003, only 5 QBs have represented the AFC in the SB, while 16 have represented the NFC.

Also, if TB wins and hosts SF, just how badly do you suppose Tom Brady is gonna humiliate his one-time heir apparent Jimmy G? He'll have some extra motivation for that game for sure.
 
The Rams are absolutely demolishing Tampa.

If LA holds on, the Rams will become the first franchise to appear in a conference championship game in every decade since they came into existence (70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s, 20s).

The only other franchises that have a chance to match this feat (with an appearance in a championship game this decade) are: Minnesota Vikings, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Denver Broncos.

Interesting stat. Points out how the teams have maintained a pretty high level of play over the entire time. Given it's only '22, plenty of chances for all 4 teams.

Although, it would be nice to see the Lions get a chance over the Vikings.

Yeah, doesn't look like Brady is gonna get a shot to destroy Jimmy G.

Another interesting conference championship game stat, Lions' version:

With Cincinnati winning yesterday, the longest (by season*) current conference title game appearance drought is shared between the Detroit Lions and the Washington Redskins. They played each other in the 1991 NFC Championship Game. Neither has returned since.

* The Houston Texans have never appeared in the conference title game, but they have only been in existence since 2002. The Cleveland Browns have not appeared in the conference title game since 1989; however, the Browns were not in existence from 1996 to 1998. Thus, the Lions and Redskins have played 1 more season than the Browns since their last respective championship title game appearances.
