Most difficult team task in the NFL

TheOak · 08-26-2013, 02:03 PM

I suppose there ae difficult tasks and then there are difficult goals... I could make arguments for any of the three depending on the situation..

Which do you think is the most difficult thing to do in the NFL?

1. QB
2. CB
3. Convincing Saints fans that not every single completion ever made by our opponent is Roman Harper's fault.

Sorry. I'd say repeating.
A- You have to get there twice.
B- You have to win it twice.

The way I see it, the task of getting there and the task of winning it are two fairly different tasks in terms of what has to be done.

While attrition has to be the single biggest obstacle that has kept teams from getting there, you have to overcome the bounce of the ball and luck helps a lot...

Once you get there you not only have to play smarter and better than your opponent but you have to keep your team focused and not let "the game" become bigger than they are....

Then there is the repeat where you pulled out all the stops and went outside of the box to win the first one... now you have to find a new box and more stops as whom ever you face in the second one has a lot of tape on you...

I think getting to the SB is harder than winning it.

Theirs been better competition in some Conference title games than in the SB.

our season for example, beat Minny by 3 in OT, go to SB, and beat Indy by 14 in regulation.

Winning is tougher than getting to the SB. I think that repeating in three years is probably easier than getting there because you have a plan in place and hopefully the players to make it work.

The reason i put the 3 year mark on it is because the year after you win a SB players stock goes up and it gets very expensive to keep the same team together... Look at the Ravens.

I'm going to say "Get to the Superbowl"; just ask the Falcons...
