;) I kind of feel re the 1980's Denver Broncos that Dan Reeves went 85-50-1 during the 1980's in his first head coaching job and should be in the Hall of Fame, but as Bill Parcells said in his book with Jerry Izenberg "The Broncos (of that era) just cannot handle power". But as you say 13...

Elway's second season. 13-3 finish. The first division-winner in the Dan Reeves era. Had Dallas, who had to win to get in at all, beat Miami at the Orange Bowl in the finale on MNF, the Broncos instead would have been top-seed in the AFC; but still would have had to play Pittsburgh in the divisional...

Before Robinson/Parcells, just one time did both teams qualify for the playoffs in the same year…1950. And just one time since ’89 have they both qualified together…2000. That makes seven times total in 86 seasons they both makings the playoffs together (Rams took the season off in ’43); and seven a...

Doing some research on the mid-50s Lions, who won back to back then made the championship game. This is pre-Super Bowl, of course. They had a great chance to three-peat in that era. I think the Packers had been the only threepeat before them - in the late 20s/early 30s before the playoff era. One t...

I've said it previously...I think the 1975 Pittsburgh Steelers are the #1 Team of All-Time! And considering that, seemingly, most don't see it this way - giving '78 and also '76 more Historic kudos as already mentioned - perhaps they are, indeed..."underrated". It's either me seeing them a...

1944, the peak of the War's depleting effect on the NFL, would be Curly Lambeau's sixth, and final, World Championship as the Packers' HC. From there, it would be mediocre-or-worse finishes. The next three seasons he'd finish in 3rd at just-above-500. And then the bottom fell out at 3-9 and 2-10 to ...

The full, exact calendar-decade book-ended by the franchise's 2nd and 3rd NFL Championship seasons. A total of six different head coaches within that time-span. Of course the first thing I think about - and, I'm sure, most of us do - when hearing of the 1950 team is the notorious season opener. But ...

Both teams finished 10-6 but failed to make the playoffs. Which of these two double-digit-win Joe Gibbs squads was better, and why?

Yes, I could add that other 10-6 non-playoff squad from '79 in there, but I'm clearly certain that just about everyone in here would place them as best. I know I would.

Starting back in 1938, when the Rams were in Cleveland, both franchises have met 47 times with the Rams thus far leading, 30-17. And two of those are playoff games. Both such games are within an era that I'll focus on to start this thread. That 'era' being when Bill Parcells and John Robinson were t...
