I'll start off with the 14-game era before either myself or someone else goes into the 12-game era, and so on. In backwards chronological order - correct/forgive me if I'm missing any - we got the '76 Raiders, '72 Dolphins, '69 Vikings, '69 Raiders*, '68 Colts, '67 Colts**, '67 Rams**, '67 Raiders, ...

good time to talk about the stats being "per schedule game" or "per fame" -- prefer the former 17-game seasons, 16 game seasons ... 14, 12, 10 only way to smooth it is to go away for "season" but would make things a little fairer then the argument is the eras and and t...

If the Chiefs three-peat in February, then you put them in 4th beneath da Bears, Forty Niners, and Patriots. If they go out in their first game, then place they and the Packers together. Washington's last World Championship in '91 should be honorably invited in this given they were 14-1 going into a...

It's been over 5 years since he's walked away from the game; his final three years spent being Tampa Bay's DC. A modest, unassuming persona, simply his name may cause him to be underrated and, perhaps, already forgotten. A stud defensive player at East Tennessee State then dipping a toe in the CFL a...

Here’s a previous thread… https://www.profootballresearchers.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4518 I may have been too hard on my ’04 Steelers placing them beneath the ’11 Pack the QB gap, Aaron/rookie Big Ben, notwithstanding. Barely, with a capital B, beating Herm’s Jets at home notwithstanding as well. ...

Giants fans have to lament that 1950 playoff loss to Cleveland, who they had already beaten twice. Had the Giants played at home instead of Cleveland, maybe a different outcome? I felt the Giants defense could have stopped the Rams in the championship game. You also have to wonder if their close wi...

Four teams make the playoffs with each division winner hosting the runner-up from the other division. Assuming that a coin-toss would still be applied in 1950 , to decide who gets the two top-seeds/home games in the semis, it would be... Bears at Browns, Giants at Rams Neither of these two match-ups...

What if the 1995 49ers don’t spit the bit in week 17 vs Atlanta and get homefield advantage throughout the playoffs? SF would have been the 1-seed, with Dallas the 2. The second WC game is Bears@Packers, with the Pack still winning. However, the Pack go to Dallas, and the 49ers play the Eagles. I t...

The Chiefs are the worst 15 win team ever And the Steelers got to be real bad being that they suffer the Chiefs' most lopsided (only true lopsided) victory so far this season; and AT Heinz, mind you! I can understand the 'paper-tiger' rep these 2024 Chiefs are getting. But it's not that way with me...

I just saw the new 30 for 30 'New York Sack Exchange' doc. A great watch! Brought back memories of me following football for the first time, and the initial excitement that came with it; and yet another reminder of how perfect their unis were. I've mentioned my affinity for the '81 Jets numerous ti...
