Almost anyone who wasn't a fan of another AFC East team, the Raiders, the Steelers or the Rams were cheering for them to win Super Bowl XXXVI.

AstroCree Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I know it was nearly 20 years ago (oh god) but that's exactly what happened. A lot of people after 9/11 really did want the Patriots to win if the only reason was because of their name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with 9-11. We tend to forget how historically bad they were up to that point. Also given their past two Super Bowl appearances were both losses at the Superdome, it almost felt like the third time was the charm... Let's also not forget what Madden was thinking about that winning drive..... I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinFromBoston Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Yeah, IIRC it didn't become "cool" to hate the Patriots until spygate and the 18-1 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, including this year plus what is likely their 1st round picks in 2022 & 2023, the Rams haven’t had a first round draft pick since 2016. Which makes this situation super awkward considering that 2016 pick was used on... Jared Goff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 My god. Two first-round picks and a starting-caliber QB? Unless you think Stafford can get you a SB win in the next two seasons, that's absurd. I haven't seen much of Stafford, but I imagine he's kinda like a Matt Ryan - very good, but not great, and not someone that's going to put a team on his back and win a bowl. Good for the Lions.

BBTV Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 The Goff/Stafford trade is the best news possible for the Eagles.

DCarp1231 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Well, in terms of star quarterback, Stafford was the only reasonable trade asset Washington could acquire. Now they either bank their entire future on a king’s ransom for Deshaun Watson, risk a draft pick, or keep it in house with Smith or Heinicke.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I have never seen the Lions do anything good ever in my entire adult life. Yes, they had Barry Sanders and Megatron, but they've otherwise been one disaster after another. Until today! Heck of a trade Detroit. No matter what Stafford does in LA, they've fleeced the Rams. Two 1st round picks and a 3rd round and a guy who has won multiple playoff games recently? Amazing. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I bet the Lions just wanted the picks. They were probably going to suck no matter who the QB is and are willing pay the extra cost. If Goff starts playing better, then it's just a bonus. Goff is younger than Stafford, so at least he still has time. I saw, I came, I left.

A mirage of a QB with an overblown contract and picks that’ll probably be wasted by a usually-terrible front office sounds like the same ol’ Lions to me. I’m not really feeling this one for either club. MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's this now? 2016 since they had a 1st round pick? Les Snead, probably. Doesn't want to get blamed for draft busts, although maybe he should get blamed for stupid premature extensions (Goff's rookie deal originally would have expired next month.) And yes 2016 is the case. I would have been fine with dumping one first in this trade, but two is kind of making me nervous. (Although it should probably be ironclad that the 2024 1st can't be traded since that has to go to a rookie QB.) At least we won't piss away another year of Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey's prime with incompetent replacement-level QB play.

The only reason his play didn't cost the Rams the game was that McVay was so terrified of that eventuality that he refused to let Goff do much. Super Bowl year was with a good run game against Dallas and the Rams' defense buckling down against New Orleans (and getting away with one in the 4th).
