Jaguars: David Garrard's 4th down scramble vs Pittsburgh in the playoffs. Bears: Gale Sayers' first of si...

Re: A Signature Play in History for each team

1966 Miami Dolphins - 1st game in franchise history, Joe Auer runs opening kickoff for a Touchdown. Can't start any better than that... John Gilliam and the Saints matched it the following year, although Dempsey's kick still would have been the signature play prior to the pick six in SB 44. Saints?...

Re: A Signature Play in History for each team

As for some of these very old franchises, you may have to divide the franchise's history up into different eras and place a signature play for each era that warrants one. Bears, Giants, Washington may be teams to do this with; and I'll leave that to you guys. Eagles I think I can do. Before the SB e...

Re: Ryan 'back' in Buffalo

It could be him. Don't know about you all, but I never seen him w/out his glasses in the '80s & '90s and only ever (before finding these two pics) seen those brief shots of him on the sideline SBIII that have always been shown on ESPN & NFLN. If you think that's Buddy Ryan, then I just foun...

Re: Best post-'77 defensive games

The Steelers 13-3 win over the Oilers at Houston in 1978 was a pretty intense defensive struggle. Lots of ambulance action. Not too familiar with that one other than the final score and the fact that after the previous matchup vs Houston (losing at home MNF), Steelers would only allow a single TD t...

Re: Best post-'77 defensive games

I seem to recall a 1980 game between the Raiders and the Eagles -- in Philadelphia, I think -- that wound up 10-7, with the Eagles winning. Those were two very good teams, good enough to meet again in the Super Bowl, and unlike some of the others mentioned, I think the low score there was actually ...

Re: More footage of NBC's telecast of Super Bowl V surfaces?

I'd really like to see the '62 AFL Title Game, especially if it's in (real) color; but b&w would be just fine.

Best post-'77 defensive games

I'll kick things off with an obvious one as well as a game that I actually attended. First...the 1999 NFCC and by that rather unique 11-6 final score that there never was before nor never again since. As for the game I attended...(the only home Steelers game I ever attended)...Cowher over Pete Carro...
