Parallels - 2017/2007, 2017/1980

Post by 74_75_78_79_ »

2007 & 2017 the Jags beat Steelers at the ’Burgh regular season and also in the playoffs; and after each playoff victory they go to New England the following week.

2017/1980...(a whole lot here)...four of 1980’s NFC playoff participants also made playoffs in 2017. Vikes visited Eagles in ’80 divisionals, visit them in the NFCC in 2017. In ’80, the NFC East played against the AFC West. In both ’80 & ’17, the Eagles hosted Denver & Raiders and played at Chargers while Dallas played at Denver & Raiders and hosted Chargers. Seahawks, of course, are no longer in the AFC West, but in both years they still hosted Eagles and visited Dallas. Dallas beat Eagles in this year’s finale as they did in ’80. Both years Eagles finish ahead of Dallas who finished ahead of Redskins who finished ahead of Giants. SF had an 8-game losing-streak in ’80, snapped it vs Giants; in ’17 they had a nine-game losing streak, snapped that vs Giants - both games at home, both squads finished 6-10. AFC North played against NFC North this year; both played against each other in 1980 but were then each called ‘Central’. Saints & Falcons played the AFC East in both ’80 & ’17. Lions 9-7, no playoffs. Any others?
