Level 65

Dec 11, 2016

It seems like Peyton Manning has a positive effect on teams...also, I was amazed at the absence of the New York Giants.

Level 43

Dec 11, 2016

So does Tom Brady!

+11

Level 75

Dec 11, 2016

Remember that year that Brady missed - when the Patriots went 11-5 under Matt Cassell? And remember that year Peyton missed, when the Colts were the worst team in the league (a 2-14 season, after 9 straight double-digit win seasons)? I'm sure there's a lesson in this if I just look hard enough.

Level 79

Aug 9, 2019

Remember that time when Tom Brady led his team to 6 superbowls and won 4 Superbowl MVP's? Remember that time when Peyton Manning won only 2 superbowls and he totally sucked in the second one and only won due to the Broncos defense but got completely annihilated in two other superbowls? I'm sure there's a lesson there.

Level 84

Nov 19, 2019

Football is a team sport that is heavily influenced by coaching. Tom Brady has had the benefit of having one of, if not THE, greatest coaches in NFL history for the entirety of his career. Peyton Manning's head coaches, on the other hand, were routinely outcoached.

tshalla points out are rare but particularly accurate barometer of an individual player's actual worth to his team. Brady's absence was barely noticed in New England, whereas Manning's absence was catastrophic for Indianapolis. Only fanboys or agenda-driven talking heads attempt to discredit Peyton Manning. No one in NFL coaching circles does. Ever. Because they know better than empty-headed, emotional fanboys.

Level 70

Feb 7, 2020

Yeah, it's called cheat at all costs. Deny it if you wish in your narrow mind, but the evidence speaks for itself.

Level 66

Sep 27, 2021

Perhaps the lesson is that when your franchise QB doesn't play, you typically lose more games than you did the previous year.

Level 15

Dec 12, 2016

they won the sb when they sucked

Level 9

Aug 25, 2017

yeah wheres the giants

Level 47

Dec 31, 2017

Come on guys, Eli only had to win to beat the Patriots. :)

Level 75

May 8, 2019

Though the Giants won two Super Bowls since 2000, their records in those seasons were 10-6 and 9-7, and their median number of regular season wins since 2000 iis exactly eight. Very average.

Level 17

Dec 11, 2016

I like the Patriots so I'm not surprised the Giants aren't on the list. I'm not bandwagon, I live in New England

Level 33

Dec 11, 2016

Why would the giants be on here? They won the super bowl barely and haven't been good since then and weren't good before that.

Level 34

Dec 12, 2016

The Giants have won 4 Super Bowls which matches the Patriots and Packers. They played in 3 Super Bowls during the time period targeted by this quiz and won 2 of them. Sounds "good" to me.

Level 20

Mar 2, 2017

Thing is they're inconsistent

Level 56

Jun 8, 2017

But its since 2000 and they've won two since then, and their regular season record has been garbage basically every other season.

Level 77

Jan 9, 2018

I think they were 8-8 both years they won the superbowl.

Level 47

Feb 28, 2018

The Giants never win unless they feel like beating the Patriots. So no, they don't feel like they need to beat them very often.

Level 56

Dec 11, 2016

Too bad the colts routinely choke in the post-season

Level 84

Jul 3, 2017

The Colts have routinely been out-coached in the post-season.

Level 57

Feb 13, 2018

Too bad the Colts have been terrible since Manning left.

Level 82

Dec 11, 2016

wow. I actually aced a sports quiz. Maybe the time limit was too high.

Level 44

Dec 15, 2016

I wouldn't exactly call 1 minute too high

Level 82

Feb 13, 2018

::shrug:: if I can get 100% for a quiz on a subject I don't care about and know very little about... it might be a bit high.

Level 67

Dec 12, 2016

I didn't put the #1 team, because it's pretty much the closest I'll ever get to spiting them after years of watching them dance all over my Jets.

Level 32

Apr 21, 2022

I feel you man, my dad's a Jets fan. He knows the season is over after one game

Level 37

Jan 25, 2024

I can't see why someone would choose the Jets over the Giants.

Level 44

Dec 14, 2016

I'm a steelers fan, so I was pretty happy when they were on this list. And could you accept Deflatriots for Patriots

Level 72

Dec 19, 2016

Are you forgetting the Steelers Giants game recently and the reports that came out of there?

Level 44

Jan 10, 2017

The false reports

Level 84

Jul 3, 2017

So the Patriots' deflating footballs gets your moral outrage up. How about the Steelers' offensive line in the 1970s pioneering the usage of steroids, which was the worst-kept secret in the NFL at the time? Does that make you discount those 4 Super Bowls they won?

Level 70

Feb 13, 2018

Must not have been too widespread. I haven't heard anything about that (Steeler's steroid use). And I follow the NFL pretty close.

Level 44

Feb 26, 2018

the cheaters is better ... btw they weren't able to cheat and beat the Eagles so .. :)

Level 89

Dec 22, 2018

You must not remember after Brady came back after his suspension p.o.'d and thoroughly steamrolled even the best teams.

Level 21

Mar 10, 2017

Good Quiz

but it is way to easy, change time limit to 30 seconds

Level 20

Apr 21, 2017

20 seconds remaining boyzzzzz

Level 24

Apr 25, 2017

39 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Level 44

Aug 18, 2017

49 secs left. beat that

Level 48

Jan 3, 2018

Is that Ethan Allen in the picture?

Level 86

Jun 5, 2018

It appears to be the Minuteman Statue in Lexington, MA. "There is some debate over whether the statue was originally intended to depict a common Minuteman soldier or their leader, Captain John Parker. Generally, it seems to be accepted as Captain Parker." Source.

Level 55

Apr 29, 2018

Expected the Broncos to be in the mix.

Level 8

May 8, 2018

Really thought that the Broncos would be there with Manning in there a few years but didn’t think about the Colts with Luck and Manning

Level 86

Jun 5, 2018

Broncos were great with Manning, but otherwise they've had a lot of seasons in the 7-to-9 wins range (plus a few good years and a couple clunkers). I bet they're not far off the list, though.

Level 86

Jun 5, 2018

Yup. Broncos are 169-119 since 2000, for a 58.7% winning percentage.

Level 66

Jan 23, 2019

I don't even watch football and I know the Patriots have a reputation for cheating. Goes to show that NFL doesn't care about integrity (as if that weren't obvious enough already).

Level ∞

Dec 29, 2019

As a Lions fan, I have lost all hope so I can say fairly objectively that the Patriots have simply outplayed and outcoached everyone for a long time, and it has little to do with cheating. In the same season as the "Deflategate" scandal, Aaron Rodgers commented about how he liked to overinflate the football. No one cared that the inflation standards were not being followed. It's just sour grapes. If you want to get outraged about something, be outraged by the Saints coach who was paying players to injure members of the other team.

Level 84

Jan 8, 2021

This. Exactly this.

Level 48

Mar 2, 2019

How did the Browns not make it on here?

Level 33

Aug 9, 2019

Why is the city not accepted but the mascot is? Got none right because I was typing cities the whole time. . . Wondering why New England wasn't on there. . . should have gotten 4. Please accept only the city.

Level 75

Aug 25, 2020

I think it's because otherwise people who know nothing about the NFL, beyond that it's based in large US cities, would do well on a quiz like this. OK, less well on this one because of New England, and it might take a day-and-a-half before you got to Green Bay, but I think that's the general thought.

Level 75

Aug 25, 2020

What - no Browns?

This was my first attempt at a joke on this site. Let me know how I did.

Level 84

Jan 8, 2021

As a Bengals fan, I approve this joke. (and am annoyed I didn't think to post it about Cincinnati first!)

Level 50

Mar 3, 2021

Wow I got all of them 1st try and in the right order... doesn't happen too much

Level 91

May 8, 2021

The old anti-Brady comments look awfully dated in 2021. And I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed Deflategate. The goofiest "controversy" of all time. With underinflated footballs = NE 17 IND 7. With normally inflated footballs = NE 28 IND 0. Good thing Brady "cheated" in the first half, otherwise the Pats would have beaten the Colts by 8 TD's instead of 5.

Level 59

Sep 27, 2021

It's amazing to see all these people still bash Tom Brady to this day even though there's never been any actual evidence that he (or anybody for the matter) deflated balls. People hate him so much that they would believe any claim to deligitimize him at this point.

Level 67

Sep 28, 2021

Bashing Tom Brady will always be in style because he seems like a smug jerk.

Level 32

Apr 21, 2022

I despise and I mean DESPISE Tom Brady. However, I have accepted the fact that he is the GOAT (at the moment; c'mon Patrick Mahomes). No matter what, whether it be a season-ending injury or a scandal, he always bounces back. Begrudgingly, everyone has to understand that he truly is the greatest.

Level 82

Sep 27, 2021

As someone in the Baltimore area, I am quite upset with the fact that the Steelers (our greatest and most detested enemy) is higher than our beloved Ravens

Level 65

Sep 28, 2021

How do you think a Browns fan feels? But our time is coming. It's the years of misery that will make it all the more rewarding

Level 62

Sep 27, 2021

Not the Cowboys....only 31 teams left to remember

Level 26

Nov 29, 2023

According to statmuse, the Eagles are currently above both the Colts and Ravens .598 to .597, but I wouldn't even bother changing it until the end of the season because its just gonna keep changing
