Seattle isn't elite b/c they didn't win the Super Bowl.
And what do we have to show for the last 10-15 years? NOTHING!
When you talk like that you make us sound even sadder. Like a short guy that can't dunk a basketball making fun of someone who misses a few.
Seattle was an elite team in the mid 90s, in the playoffs every year and raching the SB once.
Over the course of a decade I'd agree w/ you, I think you at least need to reach a SB over the course of a decade to be considered elite(along w/ a bunch of other playoff success) but in a 3-5 year window or so you can be elite w/o a SB app or win.
If we are going with your definition of an elite team, the Seahawks are way more of an elite team then the Jets.
The Seahawks went to the SB in 05, were within 1 score from reaching the NFC championship game for a 2nd time in 5 years, which according to your defination of an elite team, make them one.
By the way, calling the Seahawks elite would get you laughed at anywhere you want.....just like calling the Jets elite.
I will give the Jets their due, no matter how they got to the playoff, they did do what they had to once they were in, but what they did in the regular season is far from elite.
The Seahawks were good for a longer period of time but give this Jets team a few more years and we'll see where they stack up.
The top teams are elite teams, the Seahawks were a top team in the mid 00s, the Jets have been a top team in recent years.
That reality definitely makes us all arguing back and forth hilariously retarded but whatever
Hope, faith, Northeast U.S. winning multi-sport championships....
Hell has frozen over
I guess it keeps us off the streets and off the internet porn sites............hehe
It's ironic that you're trying to spin the thin slices of fatty meat in the middle of a much larger **** sandwich in which the team ranged from bad to mediocre into a 3 year "elite" run, including rationalizing the charity that got you there on a team that actually took a step back from 08.. and playing up a post season opponent who was dead in the water long before you faced them. Yet at the same time you go out of your way to diminish and demean a truly "elite" in time team that orchestrated the greatest turnaround in the history of the NFL from 1-15 to 11-5 and actually won a divisional title. But then again, if anyone on FH is still surprised, it only means they're new members.
Nope. When the Bills win the SB, that will be when Hell has truly frozen over ... :brewskis:
