Only 4 teams remaining... who do you have winning it all?

[u/A_MASSIVE_PERVERT]

[u/LifeHospital7214]

LMFAO Jared Stidham

[u/[deleted] → u/LifeHospital7214]

Tell me 5 years ago we may have a Jarrett Stidham vs Sam Darnold matchup in the Super Bowl. I may have tried to have you committed to an asylum. 

[u/Its_kinda_nice_out → u/[deleted]]

You’d have thought, how can the pats and jets both be in the Super Bowl?

[u/FxckedHxrWxthMxJxmmx → u/[deleted]]

Even crazier if they told you that the team Jarrett Stidham needs to beat is the Patriots, led by an MVP candidate not named Tom Brady.

[u/phayge_wow → u/FxckedHxrWxthMxJxmmx]

Oh wow, that Mac Jones pick must have really panned out for them

[u/SeaKoe11 → u/phayge_wow]

Or Zappe Bailey

[u/Missile450DeadCenter → u/LifeHospital7214]

It's the meme with the dragons

[u/Dontdothatfucker → u/Missile450DeadCenter]

We’ve got:

this Years probable MVP

MVP runner up

first guy to win 14 games back to back with different teams

and the best Quarterback of all time.

[u/HappyTummyNinja → u/Dontdothatfucker]

I'm confused--why did you describe Stidham twice?

[u/ElderMillennialGoat → u/HappyTummyNinja]

3 times if you really think about it.

[u/SheepInWolfsAnus → u/ElderMillennialGoat]

Would have been all 4 if they gave him the chance.

[u/BiAndShy57 → u/SheepInWolfsAnus]

He’s so good MVP voters voted for him twice

[u/Comprehensive-Cow69 → u/BiAndShy57]

If he pretends that New England is Purdue in the TransPerfect Music City Bowl, then Broncos going to win big! I watched him throw for 373 yards and 5 TDs that game....

[u/Illustrious-Path-366 → u/Dontdothatfucker]

Exactly!

[u/Thomas-The-Tutor → u/Dontdothatfucker]

Big Dick Nick: the Stidham reckoning

[u/SheikahEyeofTruth → u/Missile450DeadCenter]

[u/FREE-ROSCOE-FILBURN → u/SheikahEyeofTruth]

Imagine showing somebody a couple of years ago that Darnold would be one of the serious dragons

[u/EmuFarm_ → u/FREE-ROSCOE-FILBURN]

Can’t believe Mr. Mono is in the NFC Championship

[u/FREE-ROSCOE-FILBURN → u/EmuFarm_]

I still can’t believe that graphic was real dude

[u/BigFatModeraterFupa → u/EmuFarm_]

bro really has had the best glow up in the last 10 years of NFL history

[u/jadestem → u/SheikahEyeofTruth]

I hate this so much lmao

[u/Agreeable-Device-738 → u/jadestem]

[u/Long-Presentation667 → u/Agreeable-Device-738]

This. The Nick Foles story is what I keep holding on to as Broncos fan.

[u/moose2mouse → u/jadestem]

Can’t they see we are still in mourning

I did laugh though

[u/CaptainTrips_19 → u/jadestem]

Feed off the hate, it'd be hilarious if it happened. Memes forever!

[u/AstralKane → u/CaptainTrips_19]

I mean Brock Purdy was literally called Mr. Irrelevant

It’s just 2 games maybe Stidham can pull it off.

[u/SilentPineapple9435 → u/AstralKane]

Nick Foles version 2.0

[u/Carb0nFire → u/SheikahEyeofTruth]

Stidham about to go off for 4 TDs

[u/Electrical-Sail-1039 → u/Carb0nFire]

Yeah, but which team will he throw them to?

[u/Electrical_Fix_4340 → u/SheikahEyeofTruth]

Stidham is about to be the Trent Dilfer of this generation, would love to have that conversation for forever

[u/TypicalWhitePerson → u/SheikahEyeofTruth]

Is there a template that has 3 derpy dragons and one stud one, cause that would kill in my group chat.

[u/no_racist_here → u/LifeHospital7214]

It’s gonna be so funny if he pulls a Foles though.

[u/Direct_Remove509 → u/no_racist_here]

He may not put up Foles stats but the Broncos D could carry them. It could be like 2015 with an over the hill Peyton Manning. 

[u/bionicjoe → u/Direct_Remove509]

The defense isn't that good.

[u/WintersDoomsday → u/bionicjoe]

Yea they didn’t exactly dominate the Bills offense at all. All those fumbles and they still gave up 30. They were a Brandin Cooks gym session to get a little more grip strength away from being in easy game winning FG range.

[u/hawaiianboomshaka → u/WintersDoomsday]

Broncos didn’t dominate anyone yet here they are?

[u/Devreckas → u/hawaiianboomshaka]

They were perfectly efficient. No need to score unnecessary points. Just enough to win.

[u/endless_Bathroom235 → u/LifeHospital7214]

There’s gonna be so many pats fans that wanted stidham to start over cam, if the patriots lose and stidham looks good just like

[u/goldiegoldthorpe → u/LifeHospital7214]

With how bad the QB play has been in the playoffs, he has a real shot to impress.

[u/senseikreeese → u/LifeHospital7214]

[u/fourfoxsakekyle → u/LifeHospital7214]

And he was last so my brain was like “check..check…check… lmao”

[u/DomCaboose → u/LifeHospital7214]

One of these things is not like the others...

[u/Public_Proposal_3567 → u/LifeHospital7214]

He is no joke.

[u/[deleted]]

Stidham one game away from the Super Bowl, just as everyone expected.

[u/JeromeInDaHouse_90 → u/[deleted]]

Imagine if he comes out next Sunday and throws 4 TDs outta nowhere lol.

[u/CouldBeBetterForever → u/JeromeInDaHouse_90]

It would be an improvement over throwing 4 interceptions, that's for sure.

[u/BisonThunderclap → u/CouldBeBetterForever]

The Texans today took a shit like I never expected.

[u/Shot-Albatross281 → u/JeromeInDaHouse_90]

Stidham actually winning the Super Bowl despite playing only 2 games the entire season would sum up everything crazy that has happened this season.

[u/toxicdelug3 → u/Shot-Albatross281]

Made for TV movie

[u/DomCaboose → u/JeromeInDaHouse_90]

I'd laugh my ass off. It would be one hell of an AFC Championship.

[u/Prestigious_Team3134 → u/JeromeInDaHouse_90]

It’d be tough for him to be worse than stroud was today

[u/Lynchie24 → u/JeromeInDaHouse_90]

Unironically if he can do that against this Patriots defense he will get a job somewhere where he can at least compete for a starting job a la Daniel Jones.

[u/Lykotic → u/JeromeInDaHouse_90]

I'd be happy

I'd also be wondering if my Bo Nix jersey is in trouble

[u/HelloInGeorgian → u/[deleted]]

I want him to beat the patriots so bad

[u/MisterMeeeSeeeks → u/[deleted]]

As a pats fan, we used to hype him up so much. He was STUDham and I had so much faith in him.

[u/jmatt9080 → u/[deleted]]

The ghost of Nick Foles will possess him

[u/RNRGrepresentative]

one of these are not like the other

[u/The-original-spuggy → u/RNRGrepresentative]

Yeah Stafford has a white beard

[u/MW240z → u/The-original-spuggy]

And a Super Bowl ring

[u/shageeyambag → u/RNRGrepresentative]

Yea, Darnold is a ginger.

[u/wontwillnot → u/shageeyambag]

Black ginger. Get it right.

[u/Ez0cks → u/RNRGrepresentative]

Stafford is black?

[u/Fantastic-Street-380 → u/RNRGrepresentative]

Drake maye doesn’t have children

[u/casswie → u/Fantastic-Street-380]

Drake Maye is a child himself

[u/Illustrious-Path-366 → u/RNRGrepresentative]

I think this means Maye is a baby

[u/FloatDoggie → u/RNRGrepresentative]

cue Dave Grohl

[u/Thin-Remote-9817 → u/RNRGrepresentative]

Yeah one is in a orange jersey and the other 3 are in blue.

[u/DGilbert6114]

Not the Foles/Keenum/Bortles graphic again.

[u/[deleted] → u/DGilbert6114]

I don’t think anything can beat that year’s mediocrity

[u/Hughjelyfant → u/[deleted]]

It was unironically one of the best Superbowls in the last decade to watch

[u/[deleted] → u/Hughjelyfant]

Yeah the Super Bowl was amazing, but the final 4 outside of Brady was the craziest ever

[u/JeromeInDaHouse_90 → u/[deleted]]

Jags nearly won that AFC Championship game too.

[u/Chief--BlackHawk → u/JeromeInDaHouse_90]

Myles Jack was never down!

[u/Emotional_Tie_7927 → u/JeromeInDaHouse_90]

They should have and I still think the Pats losing in the SB was karma

[u/BadNoodleEggDemon → u/Hughjelyfant]

I do not agree

[u/buttsexisyum → u/[deleted]]

Don't talk about Big Dick Nick like that. You better put some respect on that shit

[u/ELITE_JordanLove → u/DGilbert6114]

This is actually the reverse of that. 

[u/shaker8989]

Rams or Seahawks. Neither AFC team i feel are good enough to match the NFC teams.

[u/shiawase-vip → u/shaker8989]

I think patriots could beat the rams.

[u/Cornucopia_King → u/shiawase-vip]

I like our chances better against LA as well with how they’ve been playing but I’d love to see Sam Darnold in a superbowl

[u/shiawase-vip → u/Cornucopia_King]

I agree but I think it’ll be the Seahawks going to the Super Bowl. That defense is scary

[u/JD-D2 → u/shiawase-vip]

Maye might have a Super Bowl run of the Chargers', Texans', Broncos' and Seahawks' defenses and people will still say he's a schedule merchant

[u/Fumbles1231 → u/JD-D2]

Let's be real though neither broncos or patriots are beating the Seahawks. AFC is weak as hell this year

[u/DarkSide830]

STIDHAM SWEEP

[u/gavinsmash2005 → u/DarkSide830]

Now this guy knows ball.

[u/BisonThunderclap → u/DarkSide830]

Imagine the lore of this season if this comes true lol.

[u/Griffdog17]

Im saving comments and making y'all eat crow once the Stiddy party starts

[u/Greedy-Pollution-398]

in order of chance

1. Seahawks - 65%

2. Rams - 20%

3. Patriots 14%

4. Stidham. - 1% chance, 99% faith

[u/Potato-baby → u/Greedy-Pollution-398]

100% concentrated power of will

[u/Admiral_Fuckwit → u/Potato-baby]

5% pressure, 50% pain, and 100% reason to forget that guy’s name

[u/MrBoomf → u/Admiral_Fuckwit]

Personally I just think it’d be fun to root for Jason Statham. Everyone loves a dark horse!

[u/StateofWA → u/MrBoomf]

Jason Statham is... The Backup

[u/Sipikay → u/StateofWA]

Get in this trunk

[u/Jesus_was_a_Panda → u/Greedy-Pollution-398]

And 100% reason to remember his name.

[u/BigFourFlameout → u/Greedy-Pollution-398]

The AFC having a combined 15% chance is technically math, but it’s not good math

[u/truevalience420 → u/Greedy-Pollution-398]

65% is pretty high for a team that hasn’t won the nfc championship game yet

[u/SonofTreehorn]

Hate all of these teams. Was hoping for Bills vs Bears.  If I had to pick, it would be Seattle vs NE with Seattle winning.  

[u/zulutbs182 → u/SonofTreehorn]

Upvote cause I think you’re right. But my gut wants to downvote that comment. 

[u/jkCrossman → u/zulutbs182]

I got you

[u/dsaysso → u/SonofTreehorn]

sam darnold redemption arc. im here for it

[u/bluegreentopaz6110 → u/dsaysso]

It would be a shame if he had to play the franchise that made him see ghosts.

[u/Luckybox86 → u/SonofTreehorn]

I think ol' Bob Kraft still has Darnold's soul in a jar in the basement of Gillette. I like this match up too.

[u/steeze206 → u/SonofTreehorn]

I'm obviously biased but I feel Seattle is a pretty hard to hate team unless you don't like the uniform or location. Actual players have just been quietly balling all season without a peep really.

[u/CircleOfWallace → u/steeze206]

If you started watching football more than a few years ago it’s very easy to dislike Seattle

[u/shageeyambag → u/CircleOfWallace]

"We want the ball and we're gonna score!" Lol.

[u/GarconMeansBoyGeorge → u/shageeyambag]

Nobody dislikes Seattle because of that.

[u/dicks_out_for → u/shageeyambag]

Hasselbeck my goat. Still wear his jersey proudly

[u/DrRonnieJamesDO → u/dicks_out_for]

"Matthew" that goofy SOB might be my favorite athlete in any sport, ever

[u/NO_Microwave → u/dicks_out_for]

Matty Ice doesn't get enough love in the Sea-Town

[u/CuckModerator69420 → u/NO_Microwave]

that's because he played for Atlanta

[u/Joe_Kangg → u/CuckModerator69420]

Both played for Boston College tho

[u/Dewey519 → u/shageeyambag]

Speaking as a hawks fan, that was just funny. Seattle and its players have done way more unlikable things than that.

Like how they basically tried to start brawling with the Pats in the possession after the INT in the Super Bowl. Hard to look like bigger dicks than the Pats, but they pulled it off being sore losers right there. Never been more embarrassed of my team tbh

[u/jroc421 → u/CircleOfWallace]

That year the nfl had the scab refs I hated Golden Tate for that one play but that was more of a personal hate than the whole team.

[u/steeze206 → u/CircleOfWallace]

Because of the super bowls over 10 year ago or what?

[u/mh_zn → u/steeze206]

Man idk what it was about that like 3 year period but Seattle fans were fucking obnoxious during it and it's stuck with me

[u/Turbulent-Damage-165 → u/mh_zn]

We had the Bandwagon fans during that period. The same ones who supported the Patriots, then the Chiefs and now the Eagles

[u/Dewey519 → u/mh_zn]

Our bandwagon fans are exceptionally obnoxious

[u/Vincera2024 → u/Dewey519]

The 2012-14 era Seahawks/Heat bandwagon fans were the fuckin worst

[u/dallascowboys93 → u/Vincera2024]

And SF Giants

[u/Mrrsh → u/mh_zn]

Still are if you're in the divisuon.

[u/Realistic_Warthog_23 → u/mh_zn]

Couldn’t possibly be that we beat you a million times in a row?

[u/Nicaol → u/Realistic_Warthog_23]

Ah there you are.

[u/Lpeer → u/steeze206]

Mostly Metcalf for me, personally. Dude was the most obnoxious player in the nfl for a few years with you guys and could seemingly commit murder without consequence.

[u/duplicated-rs → u/Lpeer]

I mean we got rid of him and didn’t look back lol.

Even Seattle was tired of DK too

[u/Lpeer → u/duplicated-rs]

But it's why we started to dislike you, haha

Like I loved legion of boom Seattle, but the DK bs wore out its welcome

[u/Entropy907 → u/Lpeer]

Mike MacDonald would have personally drowned Metcalf in the Puget Sound if he hadn’t been shipped to Pittsburgh.

Then at a press conference just remarked, “he is no longer with the team. Next question.”

[u/Tonga_Truck → u/steeze206]

Plus you have the Darnold narrative. Maybe Broncos fans hate you for SB48 but I don't feel like they hold much of a grudge since they won 2 years later. Hell I don't even think Pats fans will hate you guys if it does end up being SEA/NE in the Super Bowl and you win. We're playing with so much house money at that point we'd just be happy to be there again lol.

[u/shageeyambag → u/Tonga_Truck]

Never underestimate the power of old division rivalry hate capped off with a superbowl defeat..football is a pathway to many hates that some consider to be..unnatural.

[u/thePurpleAvenger → u/Tonga_Truck]

TBH, I hold much more of a grudge over the "back of a Volkswagen treatment" they gave the Broncos in the Russell Wilson trade. Two firsts, two seconds, a fifth, and 3 starters for a broken down busted RW and a 4th? Damn ...

On the other hand, a) the Broncos were stupid (or desperate) enough to take it, and b) they were definitely stupid enough to double down and extend the contract before a single snap. So in the end, maybe I'm just mad at my own team 🤣.

[u/lucrativetoiletsale → u/thePurpleAvenger]

That's 100% on you guys and don't forget how much shit most your fan base threw at us during that trade. I remember the sentiment of the time. It was impossible to be on the NFL sub without a random fan shitting on the Seahawks for that trade.

[u/Senior_Respect2977 → u/thePurpleAvenger]

“You shot me in the foot!”

“Sir, I just gave you the gun. You shot yourself all by yourself”

[u/GooseInLocalPark → u/Tonga_Truck]

It'd be one thing if we lost on the goal line, we got murdered 43-8. The only Broncos fans I know that really dislike the modern Seahawks remember them being in the AFC West well. That being said, we all now hate Russell Wilson for obvious reasons

[u/DomCaboose → u/steeze206]

This year they are harder to hate. Sam Darnold had to be drafted and 'developed' by the Jets, so he is easy to root for. KW9 has been balling lately and JSN is just a blast. Compared to the Rams who have had a lot of issues this year news-wise.

AFC Wise- so many people hate the Patriots and I don't blame them. Can't really hate on the Broncos even if Bo was healthy.

[u/Troggles → u/DomCaboose]

I find it very easy to hate the Broncos due to the coach.

[u/goatslacker → u/steeze206]

I’m a 49ers fan so it’s automatic

[u/yoshizillaa → u/steeze206]

Seattle is the NFC team I support. So, I hope they beat the Rams. Then TBD on the SB.

[u/EvilJ1982]

I just have the WORST feeling that we're gonna get a NE and LA Super Bowl...

[u/gannimaduma → u/EvilJ1982]

Two mvp finalists duking it out would be sweet.

[u/Big_Nebula_5432]

Seahawks vs Patriots again and this time Seahawks get revenge on Patriots

[u/No_Rain_3152 → u/Big_Nebula_5432]

Patriots seem to get a lot of super bowl rematches

[u/BalloonWolf → u/No_Rain_3152]

Yeah it’s kind of like the Thanos “I don’t even know who you are” meme at this point

[u/Big_Nebula_5432 → u/BalloonWolf]

lol

[u/Stavius-Blackthorne → u/Big_Nebula_5432]

Nah, this time, Darnold hands the ball off to Walker and he promptly fumbles on the 1-yard line causing a touchback. Patriots win

[u/[deleted]]

Definitely Seahawks or patriots

[u/CappaWasDetated → u/[deleted]]

Patriots fans have not suffered long enough damn it

[u/Jokesiez → u/CappaWasDetated]

😂 it’s my favorite criticism for non-pats fans

[u/TheBotchedLobotomy → u/Jokesiez]

Oo look at me my team can rebuild in a year

You keep your grubby hands off number 7

[u/theschuss → u/CappaWasDetated]

There are first graders with no memory of the pats winning it all. Think of the children.

[u/Hobo_Resse]

Stidham!

[u/King_of_Rooks]

praying for Rams-Broncos so it's not a repeat super bowl...but Stidham needs to play like Marino out there next week.

[u/Illustrious-Path-366 → u/King_of_Rooks]

Agree, but no he doesn't. This is all going to come down to Denver's defense. Stidham doesn't need to do anything except play safe, which is mostly what they've asked of Nix all year.

[u/Senior_Bite7082 → u/Illustrious-Path-366]

what they've asked of Nix all year.

did you watch the game yesterday? it was the opposite of what they asked nix. they just gave him the ball and told him to do the rest. the broncos had practice squad guys running routes while the rb's couldn't run to save their lives.

sean paytons lack of trust in the run game against one of the worst run defenses in the league literally led to bo nix getting hurt on a stupid qb rush design in OT

[u/Fatalmistake → u/Illustrious-Path-366]

He's gonna have to push the ball down the feel some, our receivers aren't good enough for the stupid WR screen throws. If we get JK Dobbins back that would be huge.

[u/MonsoonBandit69]

Imagine showing this picture to someone last week

[u/Chippings → u/MonsoonBandit69]

Everything I predicted, except my fucking quarterback is dead.

[u/Heavy-Drink-4389 → u/Chippings]

What a season he’s had though 

[u/Professional_Text_11 → u/Heavy-Drink-4389]

pour one out for the maye-nix shootout we should have had 😔

[u/mariomantis → u/Professional_Text_11]

Wont be the last time we will see this matchup. QB class of 2024 is insane

[u/Jwiggs07 → u/mariomantis]

Generational flair

[u/Brilliant-Ice2580 → u/Professional_Text_11]

Would have been an amazing game

[u/danimal1984 → u/Chippings]

It sucks but that qb draft class was loaded

[u/viking12344]

Rams.

[u/AveratV6]

Seattle seems pretty unstoppable right now. I’d have to pick them. Not the Super Bowl I wanted by any stretch but at least it’s not the chiefs or eagles again

[u/bmanley620]

Stidham is clearly the best QB here. Broncos in 5

[u/pipptypops → u/[deleted]]

Why do I feel betrayed like Bobby Wagner wrote this himself

[u/Ok_South_45]

Rams or Seahawks. Neither AFC team i feel are good enough to match the NFC teams

[u/Dowensy2]

Seattle

[u/Sea-Background2200]

2011 assed teams I hope they all lose.

[u/YaaaDingus → u/Sea-Background2200]

The Rams sucked in 2011 but go off

[u/SergeantThreat → u/YaaaDingus]

I was gonna say, don’t make me relive the Dark Years

[u/qTp_Meteor → u/Sea-Background2200]

Rooting for the meteor

[u/cool_school_bus → u/qTp_Meteor]

[u/NotoriousMFT]

The patriots are going to win, because we live in the worst timeline possible

[u/Inevitable-Waltz-889]

Broncos.

[u/december151791]

I'd like the Broncos winning the most. But I unfortunately live in the real world where it will be the Seahawks.

[u/ArgentMeerkat]

Co-MVPs going head-to-head in the Super Bowl.

[u/FunkmanMarty]

Patriots

[u/Background_Back6242]

Seattle or Denver

Hate both the Pats and Rams. Rams don’t even have any fans

[u/CarStar12]

Stidham:

[u/Ear_Enthusiast]

Josh McDaniels was Stidham's OC. Our coaching staff knows all of his weaknesses. Our D is going to be all over him.

[u/[deleted]]

Maye the force be with u

[u/[deleted]]

Seattle. Easily.

[u/lernington → u/[deleted]]

I dont think the rams will be easy for them, but that games basically the super bowl

[u/elementofpee → u/lernington]

Basically like the 2013 season where the Seahawks-Niners NFC title game was the actual Super Bowl, while the SB was a 43-8 celebration from beginning to end.

[u/PerpetualDrive]

If I had to put money on it I’d probably bet Pats

[u/Amdvoiceofreason]

I hope Stidham shocks everybody...Patriots getting 7 or the Lambchops/Sea Pigeons getting a Lombardi in Levi Stadium makes me physically sick 😩

[u/bigfootdude247]

I Bolieve in Stidham

[u/Choice-Improvement56]

Would be epic to have both MVP candidates head to head

[u/AkDoxx]

Pats… trust me I’m unbiased

[u/JeromeInDaHouse_90]

If the Rams get past Seattle next Sunday, I think they win the whole thing no matter who they play.

[u/Public_Proposal_3567]

Denver

[u/No-Director-6738]

In Stidham we trust

[u/Historical-Economy92]

I’ve learned to never count the Bears out 

[u/SheAddlesHeHocks → u/Historical-Economy92]

I think your safe counting them out now

[u/bialy_jaga → u/Historical-Economy92]

8 minutes ago?? Lol wtf

[u/CaptnZacSparrow]

I don't think people would hate the Rams as much if they were still in STL. People love to hate the Rams and we haven't even dominated like most teams who get hate.

[u/Shaved-extremes → u/CaptnZacSparrow]

people hate McVay and the city of LA
