The 1990 Bills were definitely the hottest team in postseason not to win a championship but I feel the 1991 squad was better. They just had a bad SB where the Redskins jumped on their defense from the get-go. The 1963 team also made the postseason before losing to the Patriots, who had no energy fo...

Sidebar discussion... Why was Burns passed over for the Les Steckel catastrophe in 1984? Was he offered the job and declined? Seems like he would have been a more logical choice. https://profootballresearchers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=43851#p43851 https://profootballresearchers.com/forum/viewtopic...

Here are mine, below. Some may be quite unpopular, giving some installments with lesser records a higher ranking; or placing squads over others who made it deeper in the post-season. It's all JMHO end-of-day; and may, or may not, change some of them in time. EDIT - ** #23 - 1963: 7-6-1, lost AFC Eas...

Two very close games those CCs were that year. Each could have gone either way. Whether a Pats/Saints showdown, Chiefs/Saints, or - last but not least - Chiefs/Rams in a '54-51' rematch , how do you think each one turns out? Do Pats & Rams hold NO & KC at just 3 and 13 points respectively in...

At least the 2008 team won 11 games. The 1997 team was weak as well, with defense and special teams getting them into the postseason, the worst playoff team of Marino's career. Going into a playoff game, the Dolphins had Skylar Thompson leading them in 2022, not exactly installing confidence in the...

Players who played in that era, or coaches as well. Burnsie, himself? Sarge?

Who would be your considerations who already aren't already in either the HOVG or HOF?

I'd say Super Bowl VIII. I can't remember a single play from that Super Bowl. Many of the other snoozers like XXXV or 50 or VI have that one play that sticks out. I remember absolutely nothing from VIII except for one moment when Bart Starr and Pat Summerall answered Ray Scott with the same answer ...

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...

Great comments ( again , as always with you all)! I can't paste every one so far so I'll make a general response. Let's discuss further SBXXXV. More I think of it. not only do I further regret not bringing it up before my 'EDIT', but the 'gap' between it and SBXV is getting all the skinnier! I did t...
