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...

;) 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...

*had two HOF players *had a player who tied the franchise record for most TDs in a season *lost 6 of their last 7 games to miss the postseason for the first time in 8 years *featured 4 QBs on the roster who would combine for 42 NFL seasons of playing 81 LAR Correct! *Youngblood, Slater *Wendell Tyl...

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 ...
