I think Buffalo would have done better playing the 49ers in those SB's instead of the smashmouth Giants, Skins, and Cowboys.Denver and Buffalo could beat teams like Washington and San Fran in the regular season, but then in the Super Bowl they'd just get stomped.

Re: Strongest 500 or below team to NOT make the playoffs
1993 Patriots: Bledsoe and Tuna's first year. They lost six games by three points or less, including two in OT (Week 2 against Detroit and Week 10 against Buffalo). After the loss to the Steelers in Week 14 (on a goal line stand), they won their last four games, including an OT thriller against Miam...

Re: 1971 NFL season discussion
I think he just got sick of the meddling from the front office, from what I have read. Makes sense, because GM Russ Thomas was an incompetent.Why was he not coaching in 1973?

Exactly. That's what I have been saying.Brian wolf wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 12:31 am The Tuck Rule game ... damn the ruling and interpretation of the "incomplete pass" ... Brady clearly brought the ball down from a passing motion making him a RUNNER who fumbled the ball into the Raiders hands. No way that was an intended pass.

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
When the Bills were already having trouble beating NFC teams in the postseason how would have trading away their hall of fame running back of helped. I think you guys are just trying to argue for arguments sake. I guess in some people's eyes if you didn't play for the Broncos that makes you suspect...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
What would trading Kelly or Thomas have accomplished? Honestly, I wouldn't have traded Kelly. However, trading Thurman and some other players and shaking things up after three straight SB losses wouldn't have been a bad idea, especially with what we know now (that they never won one). Apparently 7D...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
At the time, Mortenson claimed that Kelly and Thomas didn't get along that good, and that Kelly wasn't the best student of the game (and that he wasn't prepared enough for the SB's as he could have been or something).What precedent was Mortenson citing?

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
Dallas' 2 SB teams weren't THAT great either. Emmitt was propped by the O-Line, Aikman was the most overrated QB in the history of sports, Irvin had average stats for a so-called playmaker, and their defense was OK at best. They only one because they feasted on an overrated NFCE (Aging Giants, agin...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
I get the feeling that you are a little bitter because those late '90's Bronco teams are kind of forgotten about because they fell in between that NFC run of dominance and the Patriots dynasty. I am not upset, because it's just a game, but I will put it to you this way: Who did the 97 Broncos beat ...

Re: 1994 Steelers vs. 1997 Steelers
91 Denver was not more talented than the Bills. Heck I could argue the 8-8 Jets had a better roster that year Who said that they were? Although, the 90-93 Bills weren't as good as you think. Kelly and Thurman were great, but their receivers were overrated, they didn't have great TE's, and their O-l...
