Re: Super Bowl XVI on NFL Network
Eric Wright gave up a big completion to Cris Collinsworth but also forced two huge turnovers. He could have easily been MVP. San Fran fumbled the opening kickoff and it looked like Cinci was going to get some kind of points right off the bat. His interception near the endzone quickly got San Fran b...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
I wouldn't say it was the toughest schedule in NFL history but I think in "Greatest Teams Ever" discussions, the 1985's Bears schedule is pretty remarkable in that they played and beat: New England (11-5) x 2 NY Jets (11-5) Dallas (10-6) NY Giants (10-6) Washington (10-6) San Francisco (1...

Re: Notable Landry-vs-Shula games
1973 and 1978 victories over the Cowboys were big wins for the Dolphins but their win over Dallas in 1993, affected their team. They didn't win another game that season. Shula had never experienced a start and finish like that to his season. That was Jimmy Johnson...but yea Leon Lett 2.0. I remembe...

Re: Giants/Rams history
I remember seeing an NFL Films clip where supposedly the old Rams tackle Irv Pankey was the only guy in the league who could somewhat control LT...and how in an upcoming matchup with the Rams Parcells constantly talked up Pankey dominating LT until Taylor finally lost it and ended up spending most o...

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL
Speaking of the above post about Cowboys throwback uniforms. I think the first year we saw any sort of throwbacks was in 1994 for the 75th anniversary. Here's the dumb thing I remember though... In team's feeble attempts to create retro helmets, they just peeled current logos off and slapped on old...

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL
Whatever the interpretation of the rule was...bottom line is I'd seen similar plays and every single time that was ruled a fumble. Every time

Re: Weakest above-500 team to NOT make the playoffs?
1992 Colts I could've so easily ended up 4-12...but to get over .500 and finish 9-7 with an offense that seven times scored 10 or fewer points (shut out 3 times) I have no idea how 16-13 in OT over 9-2 Buffalo happened that year. And this was a game Buffalo lead 13-3 in the 4th. Buffalo clearly thou...

Re: Most impressive/interesting achievement
Joe Namath was the king of the bizarre statline 1972 at Baltimore he completes 15/28...for 496 yards and 6 touchdowns (1 int) In a 1967 win vs Buffalo at Shea he completes just 13/37...but for 338 yards 52-13 drubbing of Houston at Shea in 1966, Namath completes 12/31 for 283 yards, 5 of those go fo...

Re: Worst draft classes for a team
6. IK Enemkpali - DT That's the guy who punched QB Geno Smith in the face in August 2015 over 600 dollars that Smith allegedly owed him. Naturally, the Bills and Sexy Rexy signed him after that, and put him on their practice squad after cutting him (he was activated that year and played in 11 games...

Re: Stram and Ditka's stints as Saints' HC
The Ditka era in N.O....seems like every year they were shuffling through 5-6 atrocious quarterbacks just trying to find someone who could throw a football. Shuler, Danny Wuerffel, Billy Joe Hobert, Billy Joe Tolliver...
