I find all the "what ifs" and "yeah buts" kind of amusing 😆 Back during the 1985 NFL season, there was one team in the league who figured out a way to beat the Chicago Bears... and they did so in convincing fashion. Ironically enough, it was the Miami Dolphins. When the Dolphins made the AFC Championship game, it set the stage for an epic rematch in the Super Bowl. The generationally dominant 85 Bears were going to have the chance to avenge their only loss and cement their legacy while the Dolphins could potentially gatekeep the mystique of their 72 team by keeping the Bears from winning the big one. Would have been amazing 😃 Unfortunately, Miami blew it in the AFC Championship and the season ended with the Bears destroying a badly overmatched New England Patriots team in what was not exactly a fun, competitive Super Bowl 😕 Similar thing happened in the NFL's 75th season, which could (and maybe should) have ended with a matchup between the 49ers and the Steelers. Both teams were 4-0 in Super bowls at that time And it could have been billed as a war to determine the ultimate Super Bowl champion of that time... ... except the Steelers didn't make it, so we wound up watching yet another uninteresting blowout with the 49ers stomping the San Diego Chargers. As a football fan, I'd absolutely love to have seen the games that could have been. But in hindsight, I kinda doubt the Bears and 49ers fans lose any sleep over the fact that their championship trophies were in part aided by other teams' stumbles. Hell, that sort of thing happens on an annual basis. So am I gonna be bothered if, in the end, a good finish to this season is owed in some part to someone else's ill-timed failures? Lemme think about it 🤔 ... No. -
My comment wasn't too serious, I retired from " public safety" job in roughly the same area years ago and moved from the area. Like all cities there's good and bad. Your synopsis of the town, which I agree with you is 💯. -
Yeah, all teams needed to do was fake every FG and run surprise onside kicks and badabing badaboom, down goes Carolina.
