Re: Weakest above-500 team to NOT make the playoffs?
I'm surprised the '78 Packers haven't been mentioned yet. #24 offense, #19 defense, minus-20 PD and giving up more than 850 total yards than they gained (however, with much more plays on the defense side of the ball, both offense and defense averaged the same amount of Y/P, each at 4.4). Seattle, w...

Re: 1991-92 World League
I didn't follow this at all when it was around. I guess ESPN aired the games. A pretty strange divisional alignment set-up those two seasons were. A three-team division, yet alone two of them, is always way too small. Being that teams didn't exactly play everyone in their divisions twice anyway, th...

Re: Weakest above-500 team to NOT make the playoffs?
After going 13-33-1 the previous three years and before going 10-22 the next two years, the Packers somehow went 10-6 in 1989. They were fortunate on a few fronts: - They had a last-place schedule, which meant the woeful Cowboys twice and not having to deal with the rough AFC Central; - They got a ...

Re: "Equal"s
I wouldn't say necessarily "equal" but I would say Brown, Lombardi, and Noll are above everybody else - a higher tier of coach than anyone else. They are each their own, so I wouldn't call them equals but they are equals in terms of who they are historically, IMO. And I guess maybe that's...

"Equal"s
Teams, players, coaches, games, seasons, events...when it comes to ranking two of them against each other, which is a case of you seeing them as "even-Steven" (this can also be a case of being more than just two being equal, if you like)? For instance, I opine that Landry/Shula, Brees/Rodg...

Re: SB Champions That Should Have Repeated
The ’96 Cowboys should at least be mentioned. Going into the playoffs, despite finishing at only 10-6 and dealing with injuries that season, The Holmgren/Favre/Reggie Packers were still in search of their first win over Big D. Dallas did beat Green Bay on MNF that season albeit Favre’s best weapons ...

Re: SB Champions That Should Have Repeated
I would have mentioned the 2008 New York Giants. But great list and descriptions just the same! I've said it a few times here before and even recently that, despite me being a Steeler-fan, the defending-Champs who beat the undefeated Pats last year were the best team in the league the 2008 regular s...

The first season ‘preview’
Without asking anyone to actually roll up their sleeves and research/dive into the matter, would anyone in here know off-hand what was the first NFL season in which a publication, or maybe even a radio show, was produced that reviewed the upcoming season; rosters, coaches, predictions and what not? ...

1971 NFL season discussion
Other than this, here, old PRs thread from 2017 - https://profootballresearchers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=20933&hilit=power+rankings#p20933 - I'm pretty sure that there hasn't already been a discussion thread on this season. Plenty to say about this intriguing second season of the AFL/NFL merge...
