Re: Past season predictions

I can't remember any off the top of my head other than last year was the first time I correctly predicted the Super Bowl matchup before the regular season started. Seahawks over Broncos. For what its worth, that's my pick for this year too. I remember before the 1991 season almost all the pre-seaso...

Re: 1970 realignment questions

I have some questions about the 1970 merger realignment and late 60s NFL divisional alignment. First, I know there were a bunch of ideas thrown around as to how the new look 1970s NFL would break down divisionally. Does anyone know what some of the ideas that were scrapped were? I know that the 200...

Re: "Two" NFL Films questions

Nice list Citizen. Don't want to start another thread for this but last week NFL Films Presents wasn't on when it usually would be due to baseball, my guide said it would be on Friday so I set my DVR but it ended up being a FOX fantasy football show. So does anyone know when/if it aired (it was sup...

Re: Reconciling the whole Browns/Ravens issue

I've read that Art Modell wanted the team to be called the Baltimore Browns, but the fans in Baltimore would not have it. So they had to come up with a new name, which became "Ravens." When the Browns announced they were leaving, Paul Tagliabue met with some of the Dawg Pound fans, who vo...

Re: Kicking is just too easy

I still like the horizontal top bar idea, a bar on top of the goal post, and it has to go inside the rectangle to be good.

Re: Historic high-scoring TIE, OT games

A few OT tidbits: Today's tie was the highest scoring tie in NFL history they said after the game, but the 1960 Broncos Bills game was a 38-38 tie. This was also the first tie in the history of the Panthers franchise, and the 20th regular season OT game to end in a tie since OT was started in 1974. ...

The old forum still seems to be open, for how much longer I don't know, just in case you didn't get everything you wanted to get copied.

Re: The Jets of the 80's...best Super Bowl shot?

I also agree that 1982 was probably their best shot, that they would have beaten Washington in the Super Bowl. I developed a system for predicting the winners of postseason games based on information available before the fact, and it is 70 percent accurate in picking the correct team. In 1982, it pr...

Re: Welcome! New PFRA Website & Forum

Watching college football right now with the laptop on. Thought I set things up. Looks good so far! Change happens and the new set-up's got my support! If any constructive criticism ideas come my way, I'll make whatever recommendation(s) but in the meantime, it's great to be on the new site and wil...
