Re: Giants/Rams history
Our local sports radio kingpin Mike Francesa has always called that 1989 Divisional Playoff "Da Flippah Andissin Game". Francesa had a very cozy relationship with Parcells and has always claimed that that was the single worst game he's seen him coach. That's kind of a strange sentiment. T...

Re: Looking At the Teams That Attempted to Threepeat
1980 Steelers I think of all the teams on this list, this one is the "oldest". The Steelers were past their prime, especially on defense. They had 18 sacks all year. Yeah, mention of the 1980 "Stillers" surprised me. I remember reading, once, that even Terry Bradshaw has admitte...

Re: PFHOF myth
When I hear something like that from a fan ("Will Woodson go in as a Raider or Packer) I immediately dismiss them as not a true football nerd. What really makes me cringe is when I meet people who look at me like I'm an idiot when I say the Ravens were the real Browns. Or when some guy who thin...

Re: Giants/Rams history
I came away a huge fan of Henry Ellard as he was absolutely brilliant all game. He's a guy who still doesn't get the credit he deserves for a magnificent career. I agree about Ellard and just to remind, he is eligible for the HOVG for the first time this year (and he is pretty deserving). He led th...

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...
