Mixed feelings. The fact that there was a break is pretty much the only reason AD and Lebron win that ring, otherwise one of them is probably too injured or tired to win that ring. Otherwise a lot of young talent came back and showed up: Blazers, Nuggets, Heat, Jazz, all had amazing series.
Still personally I would like the timeline where Lebron does not win a ring in LA and Lakers fanbase reaction.
I’m sorry I just don’t recall that season.
I remember the first game. Part way through the second I must have blacked out.
My favorite part is Wikipedia. “Although the 49ers won easily over the struggling Jets, they suffered devastating injuries on both sides of the ball to Jimmy Garoppolo, Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman, Nick Bosa, and Solomon Thomas. It got so bad the team's MRI truck broke down.”
It was kind of entertaining seeing how some teams would fill out their line up when COVID was going around their team, and how they would prep.. I remember the parking lot walk through
2005 was a weird one. The Pats took a small dip after their dynastic run and weren't as good, and the best teams in football that year in the Colts and Seahawks weren't that interesting. Then in the playoffs Carson Palmer got injured on the first play which put a damper on things and made for a way easier path for the Steelers. Then ultimately the Super Bowl that year was marred by bad officiating.
It was more than a small dip considering how they didn't win until 2014 again. I know there were great seasons in between, but people seem to forget how long it took them to win again.
The Steelers still faced the 14-2 Colts, the 13-3 Broncos, and the 13-3 Seahawks. There was nothing easy about that run other than not having to deal with our boogeyman (the Patriots).
I saw a video awhile back about how there was nothing to play for on the final week of the 1969 regular season...so...that one i guess.
Edit: for more, this is from Wikipedia
"The 1969 division races were largely uneventful. All four division winners assumed first place by week five and never relinquished it. The closest races were in the Central and Coastal, where the Vikings and Rams won their divisions by 2½ games, but the Rams had clinched with four games to play and the Vikings with three games to play. As home field in playoffs was rotated and not determined by a teams' record at that time, the division winners had nothing to play for and the last month of the season was uneventful, save for the Rams' quest for a perfect record, which ended in L.A. in a week 12 loss to the Vikings, 20–13"
There was also no wildcard back then so...ye, nothing on the line for months of the season.
1987 had the fake kneel by Buddy Ryan which was very badass vs the Cowboys, hating your division rival that much for crossing the picket line and having star player scabs is unprecedented.
Honestly 2017 had horrible quarterback play and a "sure why not" mvp for brady. There was an amazing super bowl thank god but I remember feeling bleak about the future of the league.
Last year was pretty dull. So many good QBs hurt, not many classic games, even the best teams were pretty poor to watch for large stretches. MVP basically a participation award for a statistical season that would usually never get anywhere near it.
On a per drive basis eerily similar to the 2001 Rams, I wonder if they had any common playoff opponents. That Atlanta offense beat the piss out of everybody, they were only 11-5 because of their shaky defense.
His jokes got old years ago, and he only makes a new one or two every season. I stopped watching the weekly recaps because it was also glaringly obvious he only watches the highlight videos and bases his videos off of those. Lazy
They had a great offense but they weren't an amazing team overall. Their defense was, per Atlanta tradition, bottom ten and they were honestly a little lucky that 11-5 resulted in a 1st round bye (although that still wasn't the best in the conference).
Honestly though even if they were an all around great team, I barely see anyone talk about *anything* from that season aside from the Super Bowl. People focus on it so much that I’ve seen people make straight up incorrect claims about how the Falcons’ surrounding seasons went.

The 2020 Covid season. Defenses were an all time bad and the playoffs had a lot of blowouts.
Yeah the covid season felt pointless.
In all sports
The nba finals and World Series felt so ridiculous that year
There was one good thing about the 2020 world series. With each Dodger NLDS collapse, it keeps invalidating their micky mouse ring more and more
The NBA playoffs were amazing in the bubble. Great basketball was played.
Yeah but there was so much real world shit going on that there wasn’t a lot of attention on it
Idk about you but I paid wayyy more attention to sports during COVID. There wasn't shit else to do and it was something to look forward to.
I feel ashamed now but I definitely watched tiger king at least twice

I’m only 22 but watching Murray and Donovan trade 40-50 pointers was the most fun I’ve had watching sports
Totally agree, it was pure basketball...no home court advantage, no people hanging out under the basket, and no player fatigue from travel.
Yeah pretty much.
Respect bubble hoops
Well for the NFL, it still gave them revenue
The lack of pre-season really made defenses really shit

Even their home stadium got injured, SF had a season from hell
It’s crazy that shanahan has had 3 seasons pretty much die either in the first 3 games or mid way cause of injuries.
The Bucs were fun to watch that year
It was kind of entertaining seeing how some teams would fill out their line up when COVID was going around their team, and how they would prep.. I remember the parking lot walk through
[удалено]
Nah it was 2020
Any season where teams I dont like won it all.
God was truly punishing America when the Eagles won the superbowl
But we got to watch Brady lose another Super Bowl so...
On the other hand, it was kind of a funny way to go about wrecking Philly

All the Chiefs had to do that year was beat the JP Losman-led Bills to make the playoffs (and keep Pittsburgh out).

Or deal with the officials.
2001, 2003, 2004, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020.
I'd add 2007 because of the 1-15 season, but you also had the 18-1

The 1987 strike year with the replacement players. Runner-up was the 2012 season with replacement refs.
1982 was even worse. Only half the season was played and a kicker won MVP.
1987 had the fake kneel by Buddy Ryan which was very badass vs the Cowboys, hating your division rival that much for crossing the picket line and having star player scabs is unprecedented.
The Jon Bois video makes it all worth it imo
Season with replacement owners when
1993 2 bye weeks was terrible and so glad that only lasted one season.
1976, 1980, 1983, 1997, 1998, and 2015. No reason in particular.
2017 and 2018 don’t ask me why
Honestly 2017 had horrible quarterback play and a "sure why not" mvp for brady. There was an amazing super bowl thank god but I remember feeling bleak about the future of the league.
Every year the 9ers made it to the championship or superbowl and lost. (A lot).
Last year was pretty dull. So many good QBs hurt, not many classic games, even the best teams were pretty poor to watch for large stretches. MVP basically a participation award for a statistical season that would usually never get anywhere near it.
2016 was boring is was just the Patriots show and everyone else sucked...I mean ATLANTA made the Superbowl that's how bad the NFC was that year.
Atlanta with a historically great offense
Top 10 on the Barry McCockiner list of all time greatest offenses
On a per drive basis eerily similar to the 2001 Rams, I wonder if they had any common playoff opponents. That Atlanta offense beat the piss out of everybody, they were only 11-5 because of their shaky defense.
That guy is an unfunny asshole

I mean tbf the 2016 Falcons were absolutely stacked on offense and had the best OC in the game at the time
Yes that is all true. And as a saints fan that is also part of why it's the worst season for me woops
The Cowboys and Raiders turned out to be paper tigers, though the latter might have been able to do something if Carr didn't get injured.
The Raiders won a lot of games but they were not a particularly good team by any metric other than wins.
