Oh well I have placed no lower than 2nd in 4 seasons.

2011: 1st or 2nd
2010: 2nd
2009: 1st
2008: 2nd



As long as I whip your ass every time I play you then I'm content. I would give you second with an asterisk.

In addition, I would have beat you in either play off game. MYk is not as good as he thinks he is.


Thanks to Ash for setting up the leagues.

I don't think there is anything wrong with Green Bay's defense, it just isn't equal to their offence.

The Patriots and Saints are both ranked worse than Green Bay on defense, I think the only reason anybody is talking about Green Bay's defense is because the dumbshit analysts needed something to talk about and now they are all just parroting one another.

What?

In the normal rankings by yards, GB and NE are 31st and 32nd with 400.7 and 412.1 yards allowed per game. By that measurement, NO is an impressive 26th, giving up 372.9 yards per game.

They are effectively dead even in points allowed. GB, NE, and NO allowed 318, 321, and 322 points.

I guess you can say GB is ranked better than the other on defense if you go by points and count the 3-4 point difference over the year to have some sort of significance.

I was going on points.

I don't care if you give up 10,000 yards so long as you stop scores.

My point wasn't to display that Green Bay has a superior defense, my point is that they are really no worse than the other 'top' teams. If things play out as expected two 'bad' defenses will play in the Superbowl.

The Aints are the best in the NFC right now and at the perfect time. I think the 49ers are too young and the Posers will be seen as the moldy cheese they are!!


It should be Fun!
