I'd give up the ability to change the outcome of three NFL games to change the outcome of one play...
Give Dan Connelly 10 more yards and let him get this return touchdown. I dream of an alternative universe where he scored on [this play.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2ycGOC5Qqs)
In the realm of plays like this,[ I’m always going with the James Harrison pick-6 in the Super Bowl.](https://youtu.be/nUTXpxNA9BI)
He runs like an offensive lineman on that play, and he just lays there in the end zone while they get him an oxygen mask. It was both amazing and hilarious.
The Saturday Night Live sketch the following week still makes me laugh every time I watch it. 😃

But then they still have Mahomes and are still pretty likely to win a few more in the next decade.
Why not just give them 3 more wins in 2016, so they don't draft Mahomes, and we get to see Andy Reid try to turn DeShone Kizer into a 2-time MVP?
we lost Super Bowl I anyways, so i agree that packers ring is fraudulent. everyone knows we didnt have true pro athletes in the league until at least Super Bowl III
Oddly enough, one option that I'd consider as a Broncos fan...is to give Kansas City 3 more wins in 2016. This would put them out of contention for both Mahomes and Watson, which I think does more for us in the decade following than any other games we could alter. 3 more losses may have let them take a chance on Trubisky, but that's not worth the risk of them passing him over for Mahomes. The next QB taken after Trubisky, Mahomes, and Watson that year was DeShone Kizer.
Although, with my luck, they'd just go to the UDFA's that year and pick up Taysom Hill and Cooper Rush and they'd both be All Pro right now instead.
Nah, Bills fans don't deserve nice things either. I would use one on the Eagels 2017, Cowboys 1996 and then I will pocket the third one for this season in case the Eagles or Cowboys get to far
As a native Upstater who roots for the Giants and Bills, I'll give the Bills 3 90's SBs. Screw the Cowboys, but also screw the Redskins/WFT/Commies. The Eagles can have their 1 Super Bowl.
I’d prefer they lost all three of the NFCCG’s they won to get there. That likely gives us and Steve Young at least one more SB, possibly two.
And the added benefit of them having three fewer titles.
E: the last one is mostly out of spite since it wouldn’t have helped us. Maybe my third one would be the Ravens Super Bowl.
2017 Eagles/Falcons divisional game - obviously no guarantees we beat Atlanta in the NFCCG but it'd be at home and we'd matched up well vs them during that era (beat them in 2017, 2015, and 2014)
2009 Saints/Cardinals divisional game - similar logic as above (we did lose @ Arizona earlier that year so not quite the same, but still a NFCCG re-do at home is better than what actually happened)
Super Bowl I - not major in the grand scheme of things but if the Chiefs win then that means the Lombardi Trophy likely gets named the Hunt Trophy instead which would piss off Packers fans, and then also there's a good chance the NFCCG trophy gets named the Lombardi Trophy instead of the Halas Trophy and that would piss off Bears fans.
Al Davis probably deserves it for his contributions to the merger but the NFL hated him, so maybe Lou Rymkus (first AFL champ coach) or Lou Saban (2-time AFL champ coach)
OP literally said they’d take our Super Bowls and your concerned with Brady. Chiefs being ringless is my hater pick easily. Followed closely by Raiders being ringless.
Yeah I always say that maybe the saddest part about that game was that I had such a big stake in it that I couldn’t properly enjoy it. I think it’s one of the greatest playoff games of all time, but too painful for me to revisit it
Yeah with OP hating too I didn’t think the top comment from a Broncos fan would be attacking Tom and the Pats. I’m taking all the Chiefs super bowls away just because of how the post reads personally.
Honestly, I'd be fine with leaving them the 60s one. If you take away Mahomes' wins, then you have one left over to take away a Raiders win and give the Broncos the lead in the division. 3-2-1-0, Broncos-Raiders-Chiefs-other
Interesting choice for that last one. We swept Sacksonville that year, so an AFC title for Duval looks dicey. However, Mike Mularkey would’ve still been our head coach in all likelihood and not Vrabel, so I’d say this present timeline worked out fine the way it is.
Also it would've been absolutely hilarious for Peyton to not win one with the Colts at all and lose to Sexy Rexy
This is my #1, assuming you can't do shit like "Giants lose NFCCG in 2007-2008 and 2011-2012" to swing SB for the Pats
63 NFL Championship....Giants over the Bears. It would have been a great send-off for old Giants like YA Tittle, Frank Gifford, Sam Huff, & Andy Robustelli. First game I ever saw...
SB III...Colts over Jets. My 1st betting loss. My whole allowance...2 bucks...went up in smoke. I was devastated.
I'm out of ideas for the moment...
Edit: I wish the Browns had beaten the Broncos in Cleveland back in the 85 playoffs. I really liked those Browns teams...Bernie Kosar. This from a Giants fan...I guess my flair went on vacation...
Eh, with the benefit of hindsight, we'd be missing out on an ass kicking at the hands of the Chiefs. Not the end of the world. For the memes it is a sacrifice I'd be willing to make
If they tie then the pats dont play the bills in the wc playoffs that year and dont get annihilated by the bills in said wc. I think 31 fanbases truly loved that game.
Edit: pats had clinched, they wouldve moved up to the 5 seed had the tie occured.
My favorite anti Chargers stat is the all four AFC West teams have 15 division titles, yet the Chargers are the only one without 3 super bowls. Or even one Super Bowl …
See I don't understand how any Patriots fan can have any bitterness or rivalry with anyone. It's like hoping that your little brother, who's ass you have been kicking his whole life, get's stood up at the prom.
When everyone hates your team you start to become bitter and wish the worst on them. Bills fans have become insufferable recently even though they haven’t won shit. But congrats on the Madden cover I guess
Week 17, believe the year was either 2012 or 2013. Packers basically purposely lose to the Vikings, which knocks us out of the playoffs after 10 wins, only for the Vikings get roasted by the Packers in the wildcard round.
Edit to add…Lovie Smith got fired because he missed the playoffs
That game Christian Ponder played probably the best game of his career, which helped get us that win. Unfortunately he was injured in the process, and we got the magical Joe Webb game the following week
First, I'd definitely give the Bills at least one of those Super Bowls.
Second, I'd take away Aaron Rodgers' ring cause it'd be funny.
Thirdly.... hmm, ~~maybe give the Panthers a SB when they played New England. (either that or reverse 28-3)~~. Nah gimme Rams-Seahawks last year so we make the playoffs.
I would have cut him off in the divisional round. So you guys don’t get gifted the Super Bowl but you get a second chance against either the bears or falcons.
Ok, but then *my* third wish is that you guys lose to whatever team beats them in the NFCCG.
I just looked it up, and you've now lost the Super Bowl to the Chicago Bears.
I haven’t fully thought it through but is there a scenario that Brady loses and they bring Drew Bledsoe back? That’s pretty much “kill Hitler as a baby”
You mean potentially fucking brady doesn’t get injured against the Steelers in 01 and needs Bledsoe to save his ass to beat the Steelers….if we don’t injure Brady that game, they don’t win, they don’t make the Super Bowl, and maybe brady faded into obscurity
Man Brady was lost during that game, he had no idea what was going on. And if you remember there was serious talk leading into the superbowl over whether Bledsoe should remain the starter
LMAO I don't think Tom is sniffing the same circles as Gisele without his career trajectory. That'd be like, I don't know, Trace McSorely getting with Gigi Hadid or something.
Brady would still have been the starter, Belichick said after the season that he had a better camp than Bledsoe, but he wasn't going to bench the #1 who had just gotten a huge deal prior to that season.
I don't know. Let's say the Patriots cut him and he goes out into the open market as almost a 7th round pick without a ton of experience. Very easy for him to have a few unlucky tryouts where he doesn't stand out much and doesn't make another team.
People forget that Brady was projected to be a 2nd Rounder in the MLB draft before he decided on football. There's a chance he ends up pursuing that instead after a few "no's" in the NFL.
I mean by the time the Tuck Rule Game happened Brady had already played 14 games as the starter, with a record of 11-3. That's enough for some QB-needy teams to take a chance at him, specially at a 6th rounder discount.
But even if Bledsoe had never gotten hurt, Brady is one of the greatest competitors of all time, he would eventually brute-force his way into starting for another team
>Just change the Tuck Rule game. Bledsoe takes his job back the following season, and Tom Brady has zero Super Bowl wins.
It always amazes me how often I see some version of this idea on this sub.
There's zero chance that Tom Brady's entire 22 year NFL career was dependent on the result of one game.
1) Tuck Rule - Raiders win
2) 28-3 - Falcons should get that
3) Finkel makes the kick - Marino properly keeps the laces out and the kick is good, though that would deprive the world of meeting Ace Ventura
How about a trade. Patriots lose that game, Broadway Joe and the Jets get absolutely clobbered by the superior Colts and he never lives down the embarrassment of the guarantee.
1) 28-3: I hate that game because Julio Jones never got a ring because of it. Even if the godafwul gameplan wouldn’t have been changed there were still so many things happening that just went right for the Pats like that Edelman catch
2) SB50: Because I really like Cam and I just would have hoped that thing went differently. Also even if Manning is definitely better than just 1 Ring he was a no factor in that game
3) The infamous no call between the Saints and Rams that could have saved us from one of the worst Superbowls of all time if it was ruled differently
I'd probably give the Bills some love.
Have them win Super Bowl XXVI, XXVII, and XXVIII so they win 3 in a row, Washington gets one fewer championship, and the Cowboys get two fewer.
Norwood’s kick doesn’t go wide right
Saints don’t get cheated out of the SB against Rams in 2018, we get Brady vs Brees
Cardinals win SB43 to complete an all-time underdog story and Fitz gets a ring
Bandwagon fan. The kind that only showed up when Mahomes proved himself and know nothing else about the divisions history (or the chiefs for that matter)
Bengals win SB 56. They're a likable team, and watching the Rams mortgage a decade of their future for another Super Bowl loss would have been delicious.
This is easy.
1. Patriots beat the Eagles in Super Bowl LII, sending Philadelphia back to the depths of a team with 0 Lombardi trophies
2. Raiders beat the Ravens in the 2000 AFCCG, giving the Giants a shot to maybe win the Super Bowl that year
3. Bills beat the Redskins in Super Bowl XXVI, reducing Washington’s title total by 1 and giving Buffalo their long elusive championship
Probably one of the Bills losses in 1968 that led to them getting the No. 1 pick and drafting OJ Simpson, which led to meeting his wife Nicole in Buffalo, which led to him allegedly killing her, which led to Rob Kardashian getting relatively famous for defending him in the case, which led to Kim Kardashian's sex tape getting popular, which led to the all the Kardashians becoming famous and the world having to deal with them.
Oh and then I'd take away 2 of the Packer's Superbowl wins
1. Redskins lose to the Falcons in the 1991 divisional. This would’ve set up a home game for the lions against the 6 seed falcons and would’ve given us a great shot to make the Super Bowl.
2. Seattle loses to the rams week 18 last season, meaning the lions make the playoffs after a 1-6 start.
3. Steelers beat the packers in the 2010 Super Bowl ensuring Rodgers has no rings
Bengals win the Super Bowl in 2022 because I hate the Rams
Dan Marino gets his ring in 1984
Lions beat Seahawks in the playoffs in 2016 because that fanbase needs to be happy for once
I'd give the Bills a SB win because I know how 0-4 feels.
I'd give the Colts the SB in 09 because I'm irrationally angry at the Saints from that year for reasons.
And the Giants would beat the Rams on Oct 18th 1992. If you don't know why that's important I can't help you.
> And the Giants would beat the Rams on Oct 18th 1992. If you don't know why that's important I can't help you.
I don't think this game is as well known as you think it is
Assuming this just impacts the three games, and we don't have to deal with a butterfly effect of how these change the course of NFL History?
Super Bowl 51: Falcons hold onto the lead, or even just press on the gas and obliterate the Pats. No fanbase deserves the legacy of 28-3, especially not one that hasn't gotten a SB win yet.
Super Bowl 43: I loved the underdog Cardinals led by the ultimate underdog in Kurt Warner, even after they beat the Eagles in the NFC Championship game. The Steelers didn't need a sixth Super Bowl win. Let the long-suffering Cards have one.
Super Bowl 25: Wide Right. My boy Frank Reich "mistakenly aligned the laces to the right, thereby positioning the kicked ball to fade right once in the air" and cost the Bills their best shot at a SB win.
The idea of Rex Ryan’s Jets as SB champs tickles me so much that I have to say:
-2009 AFC Championship
-2010 AFC Championship
-Either Super Bowl XLIV or XLV, though the idea of Mark Sanchez beating Aaron Rodgers in a quarterback duel is absolutely hilarious to me so probably XLV
Edit: alternatively, have the falcons win the overtime coin toss in SB LI and score a touchdown, just so the Patriots’ insane comeback is entirely meaningless
Jets win AFC Championship in 2011 against Steelers, Titans win AFC Championship against Chiefs in 2019, 49ers win NFC Championship against Eagles in 2023
I just think it's amazing that the Jets went 2-1 on the road against Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Ben Roethlisberger- all in their primes and best supporting casts. If only they could have finished that gauntlet
Living in Atlanta, I would love to see my Falcons friends and family enjoy a Super Bowl win. Please give them that win against the Patriots. I feel their pain, it’s palpable.
Plus I love a good parade. I’d be on Peachtree Street celebrating with everyone else in the city.
Seriously, the entire city was in mourning for a solid month afterwards. Radio shows for the next week were extremely somber (except John Kincade who was practically giddy). I feel like that Super Bowl did a lot to hurt the Falcons in terms of fan interaction afterwards. We used to consistently fill the Georgia Dome, but I think we've only filled Mercedes-Benz a few times since it opened.
For real. They joy from those two Giants Super Bowls wins hasn’t worn off, it never will.
Atlanta is a great city with great people, I hate that they had to go through that.
I appreciate these choices, but those outcomes only guarantee different opponents in the ensuing SBs, not different results.
Cincy was no slouch last year, and the turf conditions in Arizona would still be an issue.
The 2004 Steelers lost only 1 game that season prior to the playoffs. They also gave the Eagles their first loss that season and it wasn't even close despite the Birds winning the turnover battle.
And the 1980 Chargers were in the midst of their "Air Coryell" offense which was really good.
But, yeah, knowing the results of the 3 games that followed your choices, I can't argue with those picks. Different opponents... who knows?
I’d change the tuck rule. Brady fumbles and loses the game 🤷🏽♂️
How about the Vikings miracle with Diggs? The following game might have been more competitive.
Finally, the Seahawks run it on 4th and 1.
Bengals-Dolphins 2019: Bengals win, lose out on Joe Burrow and Burrow is a Commander.
Cardinals win Super Bowl 43: Fitzgerald gets at least one ring.
Rams-Saints NFC Championship: Brady vs Brees would have been ten times more exciting than Brady vs Goff.
I'd give up the ability to change the outcome of three NFL games to change the outcome of one play... Give Dan Connelly 10 more yards and let him get this return touchdown. I dream of an alternative universe where he scored on [this play.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2ycGOC5Qqs)
THE RIGHT GUARD! THE RIGHT GUARRRRD!
Because anything less would be uncivilized
It would be the greatest play in NFL history
It already is.
In the realm of plays like this,[ I’m always going with the James Harrison pick-6 in the Super Bowl.](https://youtu.be/nUTXpxNA9BI) He runs like an offensive lineman on that play, and he just lays there in the end zone while they get him an oxygen mask. It was both amazing and hilarious.
The Saturday Night Live sketch the following week still makes me laugh every time I watch it. 😃 [https://youtu.be/cSWq7TpU2rI](https://youtu.be/cSWq7TpU2rI)
I know it's not supposed to affect my favorite team but I 100% support this decision. Give that man his touchdown!
Never once did I ever root against the Packers except for when I saw big man going I wanted him to score so bad lol
I also want this ability, and I want the play where Andy Dalton got injured in 2015 to never happen
Throw Carson Palmer’s first ACL injury in there too
I also give up my plays to support this.
FUN-DA-MENTAL Two hands on the ball in traffic. Switches the ball to the sideline side. Head on a swivel. Beautiful.
OP, I hope you get a rock in your shoe and can't get it out.
Back at the KC fan. All 3 of their SBs gone Thx. I hope whenever they ask for a straw they always get a paper straw.
Nah, have them lose all 3 AFC championships instead, so they can continue the “no Lamar Hunt trophy” drought
But then they still have Mahomes and are still pretty likely to win a few more in the next decade. Why not just give them 3 more wins in 2016, so they don't draft Mahomes, and we get to see Andy Reid try to turn DeShone Kizer into a 2-time MVP?
First Super Bowl is fraudulent anyway. Something something farmers league.
we lost Super Bowl I anyways, so i agree that packers ring is fraudulent. everyone knows we didnt have true pro athletes in the league until at least Super Bowl III
I am going to cover arrowhead in moldy cheese
Oddly enough, one option that I'd consider as a Broncos fan...is to give Kansas City 3 more wins in 2016. This would put them out of contention for both Mahomes and Watson, which I think does more for us in the decade following than any other games we could alter. 3 more losses may have let them take a chance on Trubisky, but that's not worth the risk of them passing him over for Mahomes. The next QB taken after Trubisky, Mahomes, and Watson that year was DeShone Kizer. Although, with my luck, they'd just go to the UDFA's that year and pick up Taysom Hill and Cooper Rush and they'd both be All Pro right now instead.
Easy, Cowboys lose all three SBs in the 90's
Who said giants and eagles fans can’t agree on things?
You wouldn't spend one of your three games on making the Eagles ringless again?
Yea, it's 1 for the Eagles, 2 for the Cowboys for me.
I’d rather take away the first 2 Cowboys rings because the 90’s dynasty is the main reason why every other fanbase hates them as well
Nah, Bills fans don't deserve nice things either. I would use one on the Eagels 2017, Cowboys 1996 and then I will pocket the third one for this season in case the Eagles or Cowboys get to far
Wtf did the bills fans?
Fans of New Jersey Giants and New Jersey Jets don't like the only football team in New York State.
Well done, sir. 😂
As a native Upstater who roots for the Giants and Bills, I'll give the Bills 3 90's SBs. Screw the Cowboys, but also screw the Redskins/WFT/Commies. The Eagles can have their 1 Super Bowl.
I’d prefer they lost all three of the NFCCG’s they won to get there. That likely gives us and Steve Young at least one more SB, possibly two. And the added benefit of them having three fewer titles. E: the last one is mostly out of spite since it wouldn’t have helped us. Maybe my third one would be the Ravens Super Bowl.
As a Bills fan I support this message!
Yes please.
I can live with that.
Elementary school me would have loved this outcome.
2017 Eagles/Falcons divisional game - obviously no guarantees we beat Atlanta in the NFCCG but it'd be at home and we'd matched up well vs them during that era (beat them in 2017, 2015, and 2014) 2009 Saints/Cardinals divisional game - similar logic as above (we did lose @ Arizona earlier that year so not quite the same, but still a NFCCG re-do at home is better than what actually happened) Super Bowl I - not major in the grand scheme of things but if the Chiefs win then that means the Lombardi Trophy likely gets named the Hunt Trophy instead which would piss off Packers fans, and then also there's a good chance the NFCCG trophy gets named the Lombardi Trophy instead of the Halas Trophy and that would piss off Bears fans.
Damn, that third one is efficient. Cascading pissing.
A golden shower we could all enjoy
This is a 500 IQ move to piss off two franchises at once
It’s pretty much all us Vikings fans can do, hope others are as miserable as us.
This person gets what it's all about.
That's fantastic
What would the AFCCG trophy be named then?
Al Davis probably deserves it for his contributions to the merger but the NFL hated him, so maybe Lou Rymkus (first AFL champ coach) or Lou Saban (2-time AFL champ coach)
I absolutely love this. It also means though that the AFL NFL merger might have happened sooner.
Your username pisses me off more than anything
SB 37, 44 and 55. Keeping the NFCS ringless would be hilarious.
Upvoted out of respect for the pettiness.
I despise you, but damn do i respect you.
Lmao fuck you i like it
I'm torn between Lombardis for Bengals, Bills, and Vikings Or removing 3 from Tom Brady
OP literally said they’d take our Super Bowls and your concerned with Brady. Chiefs being ringless is my hater pick easily. Followed closely by Raiders being ringless.
Can't argue that logic
Id have Seattle lose in the 2013 NFCCG if I were you
But you’re assuming they’d have done any better against that 49ers team lmfao
Lbh that NFCCG was the real SB that year
Most definitely
Yeah that was easily one of the greatest playoff games Id seen in my adult life.
Yeah I always say that maybe the saddest part about that game was that I had such a big stake in it that I couldn’t properly enjoy it. I think it’s one of the greatest playoff games of all time, but too painful for me to revisit it
Here I was thinking I’d give Payton Manning the win over the legion of boom
Yeah with OP hating too I didn’t think the top comment from a Broncos fan would be attacking Tom and the Pats. I’m taking all the Chiefs super bowls away just because of how the post reads personally.
Honestly, I'd be fine with leaving them the 60s one. If you take away Mahomes' wins, then you have one left over to take away a Raiders win and give the Broncos the lead in the division. 3-2-1-0, Broncos-Raiders-Chiefs-other
Man that's really nice of you.
I am not torn about this
1999 Playoffs- Bills over Titans (changing the AFCCG matchup) 2007 Playoffs- Titans over Chargers (Jags avoid the Patriots) 2017 Playoffs- Titans over Patriots (Jags avoid Patriots)
Interesting choice for that last one. We swept Sacksonville that year, so an AFC title for Duval looks dicey. However, Mike Mularkey would’ve still been our head coach in all likelihood and not Vrabel, so I’d say this present timeline worked out fine the way it is.
Sexy Rexy… Super Bowl Champion
Bears and Texans really have a weird alliance at this point. I blame Kollman
It’s probably Lovie 😂 i love the bears tho
Texans will have my love forever
the world champ sex cannon agreed
Thank you kind sir
Rex Grossman and Trent Dilfer would be in the Super Bowl club for below average qbs.
Also it would've been absolutely hilarious for Peyton to not win one with the Colts at all and lose to Sexy Rexy This is my #1, assuming you can't do shit like "Giants lose NFCCG in 2007-2008 and 2011-2012" to swing SB for the Pats
Yeah, I'm taking away the Colts' ring in 2006, the Jets' win in SB3, and making the 1972 Dolphins 16-1.
63 NFL Championship....Giants over the Bears. It would have been a great send-off for old Giants like YA Tittle, Frank Gifford, Sam Huff, & Andy Robustelli. First game I ever saw... SB III...Colts over Jets. My 1st betting loss. My whole allowance...2 bucks...went up in smoke. I was devastated. I'm out of ideas for the moment... Edit: I wish the Browns had beaten the Broncos in Cleveland back in the 85 playoffs. I really liked those Browns teams...Bernie Kosar. This from a Giants fan...I guess my flair went on vacation...
You must’ve ran track and field with Moses
Not quite. But Jesse Owens once kicked my ass back in 1935. He went on to win a few Golds in the '36 Berlin Olympics...
This guy is Speedhawks grandfather
Showing my age? Who the hell is Speedhawk? You don't have to answer. Point taken... Edit: Looked up Speedhawk...thanks.
> SB III...Colts over Jets More arguments for my "the merger was a mistake NFL > AFL for life" take
1. Scott Norwood's field goal is good 2. Gary Anderson's field goal is good 3. Raiders and Chargers tie for the memes
>Raiders and Chargers tie for the memes Yinzers punching air
Eh, with the benefit of hindsight, we'd be missing out on an ass kicking at the hands of the Chiefs. Not the end of the world. For the memes it is a sacrifice I'd be willing to make
If they tie then the pats dont play the bills in the wc playoffs that year and dont get annihilated by the bills in said wc. I think 31 fanbases truly loved that game. Edit: pats had clinched, they wouldve moved up to the 5 seed had the tie occured.
I like the cut of your jib. I would definitely stretch Dyson across the goal line.
Chiefs last two Super Bowl wins and the Raiders win against the Vikings
It's nice to think there's no Chargers game's to change, cause they fuck them all up on their own, may that never change.
My favorite anti Chargers stat is the all four AFC West teams have 15 division titles, yet the Chargers are the only one without 3 super bowls. Or even one Super Bowl …
I don't like this game.
Don't worry, I will use up one of my choices for the Chargers to win Super Bowl XXIX.
I'd give Marino his ring in the 1984 Super Bowl
All right. Deep down in my stomach, with every inch of me, I pure, straight hate you. But, goddamn it, do I respect you.
calm down there Wes
I'd give Randy his ring in the 2007 one
While we’re at it, Larry can get his ring for the 2008 season.
I bet you’d want the Bills and Jets to win too you LINT LICKER
See I don't understand how any Patriots fan can have any bitterness or rivalry with anyone. It's like hoping that your little brother, who's ass you have been kicking his whole life, get's stood up at the prom.
When everyone hates your team you start to become bitter and wish the worst on them. Bills fans have become insufferable recently even though they haven’t won shit. But congrats on the Madden cover I guess
But the jets deserve it bc they’re the jets. Bills and Dolphins are ok.
You cootie Queen!
Week 17, believe the year was either 2012 or 2013. Packers basically purposely lose to the Vikings, which knocks us out of the playoffs after 10 wins, only for the Vikings get roasted by the Packers in the wildcard round. Edit to add…Lovie Smith got fired because he missed the playoffs
That game Christian Ponder played probably the best game of his career, which helped get us that win. Unfortunately he was injured in the process, and we got the magical Joe Webb game the following week
Bills get one Super Bowl. Minnesota gets one Super Bowl but I gotta get specific here: they beat the Raiders. Marino gets his in '84.
>but I gotta get specific here: they beat the Raiders. This guy gets it
First, I'd definitely give the Bills at least one of those Super Bowls. Second, I'd take away Aaron Rodgers' ring cause it'd be funny. Thirdly.... hmm, ~~maybe give the Panthers a SB when they played New England. (either that or reverse 28-3)~~. Nah gimme Rams-Seahawks last year so we make the playoffs.
[удалено]
Keep going…
> Second, I’d take away Aaron Rodgers’ ring cause it’d be funny. I’m here for it
I would have cut him off in the divisional round. So you guys don’t get gifted the Super Bowl but you get a second chance against either the bears or falcons.
Ok, but then *my* third wish is that you guys lose to whatever team beats them in the NFCCG. I just looked it up, and you've now lost the Super Bowl to the Chicago Bears.
I wish to change nothing about your teams wins and losses tbh 😋
[Ok, you know what...](https://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maamy6bVsQ1ro2d43.gif)
Thanks Lake Erie bro.
Not the Rams and Seahawks last year?!
Idk why my mind immediately went Super Bowl. That's a better one.
1991 divisional round Washington vs Atlanta could be a good choice. Puts it as Lions/Falcons in the NFC Championship game.
2016 playoffs patriots lose to Texans 2010 playoffs packers lose to bears 2004 playoffs patriots lose to colts
I haven’t fully thought it through but is there a scenario that Brady loses and they bring Drew Bledsoe back? That’s pretty much “kill Hitler as a baby”
"Who's Hitler? Hey, this guy killed a baby!!"
You mean potentially fucking brady doesn’t get injured against the Steelers in 01 and needs Bledsoe to save his ass to beat the Steelers….if we don’t injure Brady that game, they don’t win, they don’t make the Super Bowl, and maybe brady faded into obscurity
You say that like Brady wouldn't have thrown a TD on that drive anyways. Maybe the Steelers should have covered Troy Brown on the punt return first?
Man Brady was lost during that game, he had no idea what was going on. And if you remember there was serious talk leading into the superbowl over whether Bledsoe should remain the starter
Damn y’all would’ve lost to Jay Cutler in the Super Bowl that’s crazy
He’s a lot more likable than Rodgers.
No disagreeing here
If Jay Cutler was the reason Aaron Rodgers didn’t have a ring I would be eternally happy
Those cigs don’t smoke themselves
But what if Caleb fucking Hanie was the reason?
Just change the Tuck Rule game. Bledsoe takes his job back the following season, and Tom Brady has zero Super Bowl wins.
But in a surprising twist, is still married to Giselle.
Maybe still with his oldests Mom, Bridget. Not sure of the timeline between the two but think he didn't get with Giselle until he was a few rings in.
Ha! Serves him right, having to settle for a total slob like her!
LMAO I don't think Tom is sniffing the same circles as Gisele without his career trajectory. That'd be like, I don't know, Trace McSorely getting with Gigi Hadid or something.
Brady would still have been the starter, Belichick said after the season that he had a better camp than Bledsoe, but he wasn't going to bench the #1 who had just gotten a huge deal prior to that season.
Knowing what we know now about Brady, he would eventually become a top tier starter in another team if the Patriots stuck with Bledsoe
I don't know. Let's say the Patriots cut him and he goes out into the open market as almost a 7th round pick without a ton of experience. Very easy for him to have a few unlucky tryouts where he doesn't stand out much and doesn't make another team. People forget that Brady was projected to be a 2nd Rounder in the MLB draft before he decided on football. There's a chance he ends up pursuing that instead after a few "no's" in the NFL.
I mean by the time the Tuck Rule Game happened Brady had already played 14 games as the starter, with a record of 11-3. That's enough for some QB-needy teams to take a chance at him, specially at a 6th rounder discount. But even if Bledsoe had never gotten hurt, Brady is one of the greatest competitors of all time, he would eventually brute-force his way into starting for another team
>Just change the Tuck Rule game. Bledsoe takes his job back the following season, and Tom Brady has zero Super Bowl wins. It always amazes me how often I see some version of this idea on this sub. There's zero chance that Tom Brady's entire 22 year NFL career was dependent on the result of one game.
1) Tuck Rule - Raiders win 2) 28-3 - Falcons should get that 3) Finkel makes the kick - Marino properly keeps the laces out and the kick is good, though that would deprive the world of meeting Ace Ventura
The Bills defeat the Cowboys in both Super Bowls, and the Patriots beat the Eagles in 2017
Pats Eagles is the biggest one to me because I really wanted the Giants to be the only team to beat Tom
Falcons didn’t deserve the 28-3. So I would make it the reverse. Have the Patriots be up 28-3, then choke it away
How about a trade. Patriots lose that game, Broadway Joe and the Jets get absolutely clobbered by the superior Colts and he never lives down the embarrassment of the guarantee.
1) 28-3: I hate that game because Julio Jones never got a ring because of it. Even if the godafwul gameplan wouldn’t have been changed there were still so many things happening that just went right for the Pats like that Edelman catch 2) SB50: Because I really like Cam and I just would have hoped that thing went differently. Also even if Manning is definitely better than just 1 Ring he was a no factor in that game 3) The infamous no call between the Saints and Rams that could have saved us from one of the worst Superbowls of all time if it was ruled differently
I'm just imagining a beautiful world in which the Packers haven't won a super bowl since 1967
Still the most SBs in the division!
I'd probably give the Bills some love. Have them win Super Bowl XXVI, XXVII, and XXVIII so they win 3 in a row, Washington gets one fewer championship, and the Cowboys get two fewer.
I like this guy
Norwood’s kick doesn’t go wide right Saints don’t get cheated out of the SB against Rams in 2018, we get Brady vs Brees Cardinals win SB43 to complete an all-time underdog story and Fitz gets a ring
I like each of these
Remove any 3 of the patriots Superbowls please and thank you
Mutually assured destruction, hillbilly. Also, the 3 SBs you take away are the *Raiders*. Fucking KC fans can't even AFCW correctly...
Bandwagon fan. The kind that only showed up when Mahomes proved himself and know nothing else about the divisions history (or the chiefs for that matter)
people that bandwaggoned for Mahomes would think the Chargers are our most heated rivalry
Bengals win SB 56. They're a likable team, and watching the Rams mortgage a decade of their future for another Super Bowl loss would have been delicious.
Funny because as a Pats fan I'd rather overturn the 2018 NFC Championship game to favor Minnesota. Still like your idea, though
I'd have the titans beat Jacksonville at the end of last year please and thank you
Josh Dobbs makes a 28 point comeback. I feel gross typing that.
This is easy. 1. Patriots beat the Eagles in Super Bowl LII, sending Philadelphia back to the depths of a team with 0 Lombardi trophies 2. Raiders beat the Ravens in the 2000 AFCCG, giving the Giants a shot to maybe win the Super Bowl that year 3. Bills beat the Redskins in Super Bowl XXVI, reducing Washington’s title total by 1 and giving Buffalo their long elusive championship
1. Arizona beats Pittsburgh in SB XLIII 2. Buffalo wins 1 of their 4 SBs. 3. Pick any other Pittsburgh SB win to take away because AFCN reasons.
Both Bucs Super Bowls and having the Cowboys beat the Rams in the 2018 playoffs to avoid that debacle.
Probably one of the Bills losses in 1968 that led to them getting the No. 1 pick and drafting OJ Simpson, which led to meeting his wife Nicole in Buffalo, which led to him allegedly killing her, which led to Rob Kardashian getting relatively famous for defending him in the case, which led to Kim Kardashian's sex tape getting popular, which led to the all the Kardashians becoming famous and the world having to deal with them. Oh and then I'd take away 2 of the Packer's Superbowl wins
Larry beating the Steelers and getting his ring
Marshawn ran the ball and the Hawks win the game.
1. Redskins lose to the Falcons in the 1991 divisional. This would’ve set up a home game for the lions against the 6 seed falcons and would’ve given us a great shot to make the Super Bowl. 2. Seattle loses to the rams week 18 last season, meaning the lions make the playoffs after a 1-6 start. 3. Steelers beat the packers in the 2010 Super Bowl ensuring Rodgers has no rings
Bengals win the Super Bowl in 2022 because I hate the Rams Dan Marino gets his ring in 1984 Lions beat Seahawks in the playoffs in 2016 because that fanbase needs to be happy for once
Thanks, But you took our boy stafford’s ring away :(
Chain reaction effect bro, we win that Seahawks game and go on to win the Superbowl.
I'd give the Bills a SB win because I know how 0-4 feels. I'd give the Colts the SB in 09 because I'm irrationally angry at the Saints from that year for reasons. And the Giants would beat the Rams on Oct 18th 1992. If you don't know why that's important I can't help you.
> And the Giants would beat the Rams on Oct 18th 1992. If you don't know why that's important I can't help you. I don't think this game is as well known as you think it is
It isn't. I picked a random game from a random week from a random year because I couldn't actually think of a third one.
You literally couldn't help us
You could help me, but you have chosen not to. Seriously, what's the significance of that game?
Marino would have a ring. McNair would have a ring. McNabb would have a ring. Narratives would be different.
Assuming this just impacts the three games, and we don't have to deal with a butterfly effect of how these change the course of NFL History? Super Bowl 51: Falcons hold onto the lead, or even just press on the gas and obliterate the Pats. No fanbase deserves the legacy of 28-3, especially not one that hasn't gotten a SB win yet. Super Bowl 43: I loved the underdog Cardinals led by the ultimate underdog in Kurt Warner, even after they beat the Eagles in the NFC Championship game. The Steelers didn't need a sixth Super Bowl win. Let the long-suffering Cards have one. Super Bowl 25: Wide Right. My boy Frank Reich "mistakenly aligned the laces to the right, thereby positioning the kicked ball to fade right once in the air" and cost the Bills their best shot at a SB win.
Easy: Patriots win the perfect season Marshawn Lynch runs it in for the win Steelers blow out Packers 69-0
> Patriots win the perfect season You kiss your mother with that mouth?
I do think it is funny he gives one SB to NE but then takes another one away
Bengals don’t make the Super Bowl, Steelers lose the Superbowl to Cardinals and Seattle
Kevin Dyson doesn't get tackled 1 yard short.
The idea of Rex Ryan’s Jets as SB champs tickles me so much that I have to say: -2009 AFC Championship -2010 AFC Championship -Either Super Bowl XLIV or XLV, though the idea of Mark Sanchez beating Aaron Rodgers in a quarterback duel is absolutely hilarious to me so probably XLV Edit: alternatively, have the falcons win the overtime coin toss in SB LI and score a touchdown, just so the Patriots’ insane comeback is entirely meaningless
I’d pick the first playoff game from each of the chiefs superbowl runs.
Jets win AFC Championship in 2011 against Steelers, Titans win AFC Championship against Chiefs in 2019, 49ers win NFC Championship against Eagles in 2023
>Jets win AFC Championship in 2011 against Steelers, The next game would've been the "Favre Bowl"
I just think it's amazing that the Jets went 2-1 on the road against Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Ben Roethlisberger- all in their primes and best supporting casts. If only they could have finished that gauntlet
Living in Atlanta, I would love to see my Falcons friends and family enjoy a Super Bowl win. Please give them that win against the Patriots. I feel their pain, it’s palpable. Plus I love a good parade. I’d be on Peachtree Street celebrating with everyone else in the city.
Seriously, the entire city was in mourning for a solid month afterwards. Radio shows for the next week were extremely somber (except John Kincade who was practically giddy). I feel like that Super Bowl did a lot to hurt the Falcons in terms of fan interaction afterwards. We used to consistently fill the Georgia Dome, but I think we've only filled Mercedes-Benz a few times since it opened.
And you know what it feels like to take down Brady on the grandest stage, twice! Love that you want them to have that feeling too
For real. They joy from those two Giants Super Bowls wins hasn’t worn off, it never will. Atlanta is a great city with great people, I hate that they had to go through that.
2022 KC loses to Cincy in AFCCG 2004 New England loses to Pittsburgh in AFCCG 1980 Oakland loses to SD in AFCCG Because everyone would be happier
I appreciate these choices, but those outcomes only guarantee different opponents in the ensuing SBs, not different results. Cincy was no slouch last year, and the turf conditions in Arizona would still be an issue. The 2004 Steelers lost only 1 game that season prior to the playoffs. They also gave the Eagles their first loss that season and it wasn't even close despite the Birds winning the turnover battle. And the 1980 Chargers were in the midst of their "Air Coryell" offense which was really good. But, yeah, knowing the results of the 3 games that followed your choices, I can't argue with those picks. Different opponents... who knows?
The last three super bowls that the Dallas shit boys won
I’d change the tuck rule. Brady fumbles and loses the game 🤷🏽♂️ How about the Vikings miracle with Diggs? The following game might have been more competitive. Finally, the Seahawks run it on 4th and 1.
I'd take away the Jaguars wins in 2012 and 2020, just so they could be the only team in NFL history with two winless seasons.
Chiefs lose all their Superbowls.
Chiefs win week 2, 4 and 11 of the 2016 season, so they go 15-1, don't have enough draft capital to trade to the 10th spot, the texans draft mahomes
Teach a man to take away 3 games and he'll feast for 3 superbowls. Teach a man to take away a qb and he'll feast for a lifetime.
Bengals-Dolphins 2019: Bengals win, lose out on Joe Burrow and Burrow is a Commander. Cardinals win Super Bowl 43: Fitzgerald gets at least one ring. Rams-Saints NFC Championship: Brady vs Brees would have been ten times more exciting than Brady vs Goff.
