Throwing a pick at the 1-yard line and losing the Super Bowl bad? 
I can keep coming up with these, no problem. Hehe.
If that's your idea of what makes a team bad, I gotta say there ain't no one that can measure up to that standard.
In response, I might say to that the Pats must be the luckiest team in football - to be awarded a championship by virtue of a boneheaded play call in the last seconds of the game.
But that would actually be silly, so I'll leave you to your silliness.

Hehe, I jest. The Seahawks are a very good team, and they're usually my go-to team to support in the NFC due in part to my wife living near Seattle for a time. You don't win the NFC championship two years in a row if you're a bad team, that's for sure.
Hope you guys make it to the Super Bowl again.

Skins plugged up our offensive line, look better protecting the QB, but Kirk wasn't planting his feet well and missed key passes against the Giants. Our special teams sucked and too many penalties.

I have to learn to live with the fact that I have to rely on Mike Vick for the next 6 weeks or so.
It hasn't happened yet.

It's going to depend entirely on which Mike Vick shows up to the games, I think.

He doesn't have his puppy killing powers any more.
He does, however, have his 'throw the ball to the other team' powers, as well as his 'I think the ball will look better if I just drop it here' powers.

Detroit's offensive line is so terrible this year, which I don't know how that is possible considering they used their first-round draftpick to get an OT, but Matthew Stafford isn't going to survive the season at this rate. Even Calvin Johnson can't get his usual yards.
But there really is no excuse for their performance given the way the team looks on paper. Sure, part of the reason the defense was formidable last year was that their opponents had to focus on Suh, and not having him leaves a hole. Still, that's not a good enough excuse. Thank the FSM for the Bears and the Saints, though. Otherwise we'd be the doormat this year.

You just better hope he left his 'get himself killed running the ball' powers at home.

I'd rather lose with Landry Jones.
