Perhaps this post is better suited for this older thread,https://www.profootballresearchers.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=26070, but either way it can be placed here as well - this being the mention of that meaningless Steelers' finale at Denver in '78. I just watched the very end of it. Of course a tal...

The Chargers matched up well against the Steelers, and beat them the only time they played in the playoffs, as well as the last game of the season in 1980 and a regular season game in 1979. Landry teams tended to lack a "killer instinct" most seasons so I'll call it a tossup. That '79 gam...

It’s the simple Fouts throwing plenty of INTs and the Dallas D only picking the ball off just 13 times that regular season which seems more intriguing the more I think of it. Of course I, personally, am glad the matchup never happened. I don’t think the game would have turned out as good as what we ...

Let's just say that the close loss to the Rams in the divisional round flips in their favor. I'd say that even without Staubach the following week, the 'Boys get it done over Tampa Bay and its off to their third-straight Super Bowl. And let's also say that San Diego turns that close loss to a deplet...

Sorry for bringing back up a very old topic. But just thought I do so in case there'd be some updated takes on this. Or, perhaps, from those who didn't post here yet at the time. Both one-year squads got the commonality! And I specify "one-year" because at least the '88 Eagles made the pla...

Not accusing Collier of being an all-time great DC. I wouldn't pick him in an all-time roster/full-coaching staff. But he was at least good enough to lead Denver to those playoff berths through the '80s. Maybe I was wrong to place him over Reeves as the "reason". Yeah, probably. And I did ...

How did Bob Lily and Joe Greene Historically get it done without lifting weights??? And then you hear about Lambert sitting on a bench, smoking a cigarette, and then leaving the gym. Speed-position players, back then, not lifting weights? Ok. But defensive players that weren't secondary?? To be a fo...

Not judging by FG or XP %-age, or how many long FGs made, etc, but simply who was the best at pinning the opposing offense deep in their own territory or maybe kicked-off well enough to prevent big returns? super tough question. There could be some numbers available for people to research but it ma...

Imagine if after the draft, trades can be made! This way, you can be like Ozzie Newsome and pick strictly on who you think the best available player is regardless of position (have everyone ranked ahead of time before picking). And then, after the trade deadline, determine who the best teams are. Th...
