Re: 2023/24 Super Bowl
I long ago came to the conclusion that, more often than not, the best team doesn't win the championship. Too many variables--weather, bad calls, lucky bounce, playoff seeding, injuries, etc.---that are out of a team's control and cancel out the opponent's superior talent. I don't think some of the ...

Re: Mahomes, going into SBLVIII today, what HOF QBs has he already 'passed'??
Yeah, he just happens to be winning Super Bowls. While other teams are losing. It's all just a roll of the dice that it keeps coming up this way.
Give it up.

Re: JOE NAMATH vs LEN DAWSON
Your right Richard, the Jets defense was outstanding, but only from 1968-69. The front seven was very good from 1966 onward but their secondary was bad, thats why they signed the black-balled, Johnny Sample, one of the best moves Weeb Ewbank ever made. The Jets got lucky getting Jim Hudson for thei...

Re: Andy Reid vs Tom Landry vs Don Shula
Reid is being underrated here fairly significantly. I said before the game the Chiefs would win and they would outcoach the 49ers. They outcoached the 49ers the last time, outcoached the Eagles, outcoached the 49ers again. I am very impressed by that. Above Landry, no question about it. Shula in th...

Re: 2023/24 Super Bowl
I think Purdy is merely good. I expect if I look back the Chiefs were baiting him to pass and it worked. The special teams mistakes will be remembered. For me it will be the two throwaways on third down late in regulation and overtime. That is just superior coaching on the Chiefs side, I'm sure they...

Re: 1991 Eagles in Detail
Often I wondered what happened to the Eagles defense in the 25 to 12 loss. No turnovers & just one sack for 7 yards It's still only 210 yards. 9 points were scored by the Cowboys' defense. Two of the FGs and another missed FG were drives that started in Eagles' territory because of turnovers. T...

Re: The end of dynasties in the NFC?
Since 1998, here's the QBs with multiple NFC Championships: Kurt Warner 3 (two different teams) Eli Manning 2 Russell Wilson 2 Rodgers and Brees set gobs of records but only one apiece. Teams that did it in relatively close proximity (Rams, Eagles, 49ers) but changed QBs in between. Sometimes coache...

Re: 2023 Conference Championship Games
Kind of surprising the Chiefs won without scoring in the second half. I guess it took so long for the Ravens to get within one score it didn't matter. Wondered if it happened before, a team winning without scoring in the second half. Found 1986, where the Giants beat the Redskins 17-0 with all of th...
