Re: Best, and worst, team this decade so far?

Bryan is right about the Jags, especially 2020 but the Texans in 2022 were terrible as well.

Re: Best, and worst, team this decade so far?

It's a toss-up between the 2020 Packers and the 2022 Chiefs. The Packers I felt, were just as good as the Bucs but were out-coached in the NFC championship game. How do you not win after intercepting Brady three times in the second half? Kevin King was constantly burned, yet the Packers had their ch...

Shocked to say the least ... A truly dominant player. Parcells should have let him stay and retire in Dallas ...

RIP Larry Allen

RIP

The most dominant offensive lineman I have ever seen. Does anyone know cause of death? I am shocked and saddened.

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated

GB had every chance to beat Dallas but the pressure of scoring points--the defensive front seven had no chance against that non-finesse offensive line--was too much for Favre, who should have kept throwing to Robert Brooks, who had a monster game and helped put the Packers in the next two SB games, ...

Re: Strongest 500 or below team to NOT make the playoffs

Had Dallas made the playoffs in 1990/91 with or without Aikman, David Shula might have kept his job, so I am glad they fizzled out to open the door for Norv Turner in 1991. It was painful to me at the time but Philly was the bully on the block and until Dallas learned to beat them, and finally did t...

Re: Seniors

Shula did a great coaching job in 1975 but had to feel uneasy with stars Anderson, Fernandez, Buoniconti and Stanfill missing time due to injuries. This season would also be the last for Scott as the Dolphins with Shula would have their first losing season in 1976. Bryan is right about Scott/Anderso...

Re: Seniors

Yes, Jackson ... Anderson had 8 picks in his rookie season when he was DROY(shared with George Atkinson, who was exposed in the AFL Championship game) ... he would have been All-Pro had the Dolphins been a better team. I agree, Ken Houston was better but never had a chance to make the impact in the ...

Re: Seniors

Anderson usually covered the tight end, back or receiver if the cornerback reacted to the flat, or short pass. Not many strong safeties have three seasons with eight interceptions but Anderson did, as well as make big hits. He was DROY in the AFL and like John said, DPOY. No doubt had he not been in...
