The Gipper Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Now that the Ravens have won the Super Bowl, here are the Team of the Decade of the 2010s standings. Here is how the Team of the Decade standings are determined: A Team gets 10 points for winning the Super Bowl, 6 points for losing the Super Bowl, 3 points for losing in the AFC/NFC title game, and 1 point for making the playoffs. Three years of this Decade have gone by and the standings after the last title game is as follows: Ravens 1+3+10 14 points Packers 10+1+ 12 pts Patriots 1+6+3 10 pts Giants 10 10 pts 49ers 3+6 9 pts Steelers 6+1 7 pts Falcons 1+1+3 5 pts Bears 3... 3 pts Jets 3... 3 pts Saints 1+1 2 pts Seahawks 1+1 2 pts. Colts 1+1 2 pts. Texans 1+1 2 pts Bengals 1+1 2 pts Broncos 1+1 2 pts Chiefs 1 pt. Eagles 1 pt. Lions 1 pt. Vikings 1 pt Redskins 1 pt. The Bills, Browns, Panthers, Titans, Bucs, Dolphins, Jags, Rams, Cowboys, Cardinals, Chargers, and Raiders have all failed to make a single playoff appearance in the first three years of the 2010s thus far.

The Gipper Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Just because a team starts out ahead in the Team of the Decade race after 3 years doesn't mean they do become that decades dynasty. Nor, because a team wins the year ending in a 2 does it mean they will become the team of a decade, eg." 2000s, the team that won in 2002 was the Buccaneers, the team of that decade was the Pats. 1990s, the Cowboys won in 1992 and won team of the decade. 1980s the Redskins won in 1982 but the 49ers were the team of the 90s 1970s the Dolphins started fast, won in 1972, but the Steelers became team of that decade 1960s the Packers won in '62 and were team of the decade (Chiefs also won AFL) 1950s the Lions won the 1952 title but the Browns were the team of the 50s 1940s the Redskins won in 1942 but the Bears were the team of the 40s 1930s the Bears were champs in 1932 but the Packers were the team of that decade 1920s the Canton Bulldogs won the 1922 title, but the Bears were the team of the 20s.

RavensFan1996 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Great thread Gipper. But the only point I will leave you with, is the Baltimore Colts won twice in the 1950's. Cleveland owned the decade, no doubt about it, but Baltimore deserves to be in second place behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browns149 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 we have had 3 teams win the title. Who would anyone say is the best? People could make the case that NE is the best. And they have won 0 titles. Of the 3 teams that HAVE won the title, I would put GB 1st, NYG 2nd, Balt 3rd. GB has the best chance to win more titles then NYG or Balt. They have the best QB and the best coach. Not to mention Balt will have to deal with NE, Pitt, and Den the next 2-4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browns149 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 And we shall beat them again. Ask Denver and New England about Baltimore. Did you beat GB or Pitt i the playoffs? ANd how many times do you think you can beat Brady and Manning in the same season? You got one, do you REALLY think you can beat both of them again?

You got one, do you REALLY think you can beat both of them again? We didn't have to beat Pittsburgh in the playoffs because guess what....they didn't make it. And I don't know if you know this or not, but we beat the team that beat Green Bay. To win the Super Bowl. Brady and Manning are soft and I like our chances every time we go against them.

RavensFan1996 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 To correct you, Manning has 1. Just like Flacco. Brady has 3, and more power to him. How many does Cleveland have??? And yes, they are soft. Just watch the second half of the AFC Championship Game, and you will see how soft Brady is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt Daddy Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Flacco has had a hell of a run, no joke. But taking him over Peyton and Brady? You're lying to yourself through your team bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 It wasn't that long ago, when Flatulence Flacco was a "BUST" discussion most everywhere.

I was a Colts fan until they left. I was a Buffalo Bills fan because of Jim Kelly, and I became a fan of the Ravens when they returned football to the best football town in the country. In regards to Flacco, all he has done since he was drafted is win, especially in the postseason. He has won more postseason games and has as many rings as the NFL's Golden Boy, Peyton.

calfoxwc Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Only thanks to his defense. Seriously.... I just meant how can ya be a ratbird fan, when the same thing happened to your team, that was stolen from you? Can't see it. And, you wouldn't have appreciated an Indinnapolis Colts fan coming to your old board, and laughing and bragging on how their Colts went to the superbowl, would ya? So, that's why I said "pitiful".

The Gipper Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Great thread Gipper. But the only point I will leave you with, is the Baltimore Colts won twice in the 1950's. Cleveland owned the decade, no doubt about it, but Baltimore deserves to be in second place behind them. No, actually, the Lions are in second place in the 50s behind the Browns. Here are the point totals for the 1950s. Remember, there was usually one and only one postseason game played in those years, though a couple of times there were play in games: Browns: 10+6+6+6+10+10+6+3 for 57 points Lions: 10+10+6+10 for 36 points Rams: 6+10+3+6 for 25 points Giants: 3+10+6+6 for 25 points Colts: 10+10 for 20 points Bears: 3+6 for 9 pts 49ers: 3 for 3 pts. The Colts didn't come into existance until the middle of that decade, so they had little time to "count up points". They certainly did well in the limited time they had, winning the last 2 titles of that decade, but those other teams did squeeze in more postseason play.

A "Team of the Decade" cannot be determined until the end of the decade. Who knows who will emerge as dominant. Take the 70s: through 1972 no one would have predicted that the Steelers would be the dominant team. It looked like the Dolphins would carry that mantle...but as we know that was not the case.

Tied with Green Bay for the most. Of course none in a long while. But, hell, who knows...any team, even the Browns could end up being the Team of the Decade before the decade is over. Ravens have a slight lead right now. But this is only the quarter pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the future, sure you would take Flacco. He is only what? 27-28? Those others are in their late 30s. The question is: what kind of team will he have around him if he gobbles up all the cap space with his salary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdl15 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 And we shall beat them again. Ask Denver and New England about Baltimore. I don't think Denver is scared about Baltimore. Jones hail Mary was more fluke than tebows slant against the steelers. Baltimore will probly not make it back to playoffs. lossing way to much retirement/Fa + super bowl hangover. plus I can see them phucking up flacco situation which can certainly me problems early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
