Re: 1994 Steelers vs. 1997 Steelers
The 94 Steelers were better. The 1997 team shouldn't have even made the playoffs. They had a few games they should have lost, like Washington, @Baltimore, @Arizona, and @NE. Den and KC were the two best teams in the AFC that year, and that was the defacto AFC Title Game. Oh please. 97 KC was a frau...

Re: What's the biggest football moment you witnessed in person?
I saw Matt Hasselbeck throw a TD off a fake FG during a Packers/Vikings MNF game in 1999

The 6 Losses of the 1991 SF 49ers
The 91 49ers have been rhapsodized as the best team to ever miss the playoffs, how they turned a 3-6 start into 7 straight wins. But rather than dig into the hot finish, I want to look at their 6 losses (by a combined 26 points). Week 1 at NY- NFC CG rematch, Young vs Hostetler. Got beat yet again b...

Re: Best Teams To Miss The Playoffs
The 67' Colts were the top team, but the 77' Bengals just missed as well. After whipping the Steelers, they had the division if they could beat the Oilers the final weekend but Houston got to Anderson with their pass rush that day and won, giving Phillips another winning season. Not as good as the ...

Best Teams To Miss The Playoffs
NFL Throwback's video on the best teams to miss the playoffs got me wondering about any that should be added: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcxE_gDZmr8 2008 Patriots 2012 Bears 1986 Vikings 1986 Seahawks 2004 Bills 1991 Eagles 1978 Chargers 2010 Chargers 1984 Cardinals 2005 Chiefs 1975 Dolphins 19...

Re: Eagles at Falcons NFCCG, 1980
Atlanta had their number back then. Not just the 1978 playoff game and December 1980, but don't forget week 2 of 1979 when ATL won at the Vet on a MNF. As for a hypothetical SB..... I don't think Leeman Bennett would have had ATL as uptight ala Vermeil. Bartkowski couldn't have fared any worse than ...

Re: 2022/1989 Pittsburgh Steelers
Had the 'Burgh simply just gotten by Denver on that first Sunday of the 1990s (or, perhaps, had they abandoned the shotgun to assist them through the Mile High crowd-noise end of game), we would have had ourselves a rubberband Steelers/Browns matchup for the conference title! Another high-stakes No...

Sandwich year teams
My recent topic on the 1985 Seahawks reminded me of other teams that were in their position: this about teams that had a letdown season in the middle surrounded by good years before/after. In other words, the sandwich year team, an in-between season. Examples: 1993 Chargers. In between division titl...
