Jim Brown was long criticized (including by Paul Brown) for his lack of blocking effort/ability. Maybe the Browns should have gotten rid of him because of this flaw. :lol: Brown is not even in my top 50 running backs of all time for that reason. Naturally, Jim Brown would be on very, very few "...

One of the things I've read about Johnny U is how he could manage the game. If the Colts had to come back, he would call the next two plays in the huddle. If they had a lead, he would milk the clock. Why does it seem like Brady and Belichick are the only ones who can do these things? In a Bills gam...

Of course, as Matt pointed out elsewhere, they also have an advantage in that they've almost never faced any kind of challenge to keep them from winning their own shrunken division and sailing into the playoffs Despite that, they went almost ten years without winning a Super Bowl after having won t...

I don't think anyone who watches a lot of football these days was surprised or at-worst wasn't overly surprised that NE came back. Speaking for myself, I never once thought the game was over. Also felt similar as Bryan, once they got down 16 I thought the two TD's would be 'easy' to get and that th...

If the great QBs of the past had the luxury of the offensive-friendly NFL, they too, would light up the scoreboard. You make many good points. It's important to remember, however, today's quarterbacks are lighting up the stat sheet, not the scoreboard. At least not to a material degree greater than...

I know that those guys played in the NFL, so I respect their opinion, but a lot of them also work for the NFL. And, as NFL employees, they need to continue the narrative (that Brady is the best ever). It was the same when Montana was playing. And, it reminds me of the time when Cowher said that the...

People seem to be in one of two camps: those who believe the Patriots had a great comeback, and those who believe Atlanta blew the game. I'm in the latter camp. Simple, competent game management would've sealed victory in the second half. But the Falcons played not to lose the second half, and they ...

Isn't it amazing? People who played the game, coached the game, and probably know a little bit about what's good and what's not so good, seem to disagree with the naysayers and others who berate success. Others, who never wore a cup or took a forearm to the chin, try to promote their own weak effort...

Even though 7 > 5, Tom Brady is surely better than Otto Graham. How do we know this? Peter King said so.
