Re: 1988 49ers vs 2023 Chiefs
Getting severely blown-out by San Fran in both the '88 and '89 divisional rounds makes it difficult to see Minnesota actually doing any real post-season damage in a world without the Forty Niners. Yes, this would be '80s San Fran at the Peak of their Powers (severely Historically underrated defense...

Re: Mike Evans will probably never be first-team All-Pro
Regarding Mike Evans and modern days WRs, I was talking with Ken Crippen recently about "small hall vs. big hall" and the subject of the backlog of WRs came up. He said something to the effect of, and I hope he doesn't mind me quoting/paraphrasing him.... If there's a backlog of WRs, and ...

Re: 1988 49ers vs 2023 Chiefs
If the Steve Young run never happens, the Vikings team that allowed it is going to the Super Bowl and in my opinion the Bengals beat them. The 88 Niners had a game in hand at the end of the regular season. If they lost to the Vikes earlier then the last game against the Rams would have been for a p...

Re: The most 'boring' Super Bowl ever, IYO?
Super Bowl XXIX was the blowout dud everyone was expecting and I just felt almost no juice or anticipation for the game going into it. Just basically a Steve Young coronation as the 49ers finally loaded up on enough mercenaries to buy their way past Dallas. And I have absolutely nothing against You...

Re: 1988 49ers vs 2023 Chiefs
I think the 23 Chiefs are a tribute to a very good defense and Mahomes/Reid getting enough out of the offense. Almost like the 81 Niners. The 88 Niners to me are a bit better and more talented overall. They were sputtering at 6-5 and then went 7 for 7 in 'meaningful games', nearly all of which were...

Re: The most 'boring' Super Bowl ever, IYO?
Broncos-Seahawks for me. Literally from the first snap, it was clear that one team came to play and one absolutely did not. Dumb mistakes throughout, not a single minute of drama or suspense...an unfortunate throwback to when lopsided Super Bowls were the rule, rather than the exception they've bee...

1988 49ers vs 2023 Chiefs
Two teams that I’ve been thinking about lately are the 1988 49ers, and 2023 Chiefs. Both of them played solid regular seasons, but ones that wouldn’t necessarily blow you away, and lost six regular season games. Both of them stepped up their game in the postseason. My hunch is that the 88 Niners are...

Re: The most 'boring' Super Bowl ever, IYO?
It's easy to list blowouts but most had big/exciting plays by one particular team that fans will always watch or remember. Other than Riggins and Fulton Walker for Miami, the 1982/83 SB was pretty boring despite being a close game. The Dolphins couldn't do anything in the second half and we're only...

Re: The most 'boring' Super Bowl ever, IYO?
Definitely XXXV. I actually fell asleep watching the game. Not joking. I remember I was sick with the flu or something so I didn't go anywhere to watch the game with anyone. So yeah I being sick combined with a blowout of a team I didn't care about BY a team I didn't care about, I just zonked out m...
