IMO, the 1974 defense was the best. The 1978 offense the best. 1975 team the best. I think statistically the best team is the 1979 team, because they put up some big offensive numbers. They averaged almost two yards more per play than their opponents (5.8 to 4.1). But they had a ton of turnovers an...

Thank you for stabbing, but Williams/Stewart is incorrect.

Reviving this old thread. This one's really inane.... What do these seemingly unrelated players have in common? Walt Garrison Lawrence McCutcheon Jeff Otah Ron Rivera One hint will be provided if this goes a few days with everybody stumped. :D HINT: Each of these players has a unique link between t...

No need to apologize. Out of curiosity though: How was Strahan at run defense? I always thought of Strahan as being the best run/pass combo DE of his generation. You had guys like Justin Smith and Grant Wistrom who didn't put up big sack totals but were very effective....you had guys like Freeney &...

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...

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 back on track. Who knows how that game develops if it's 7-0 or 3-0 Bengals. I thought that was the key sequence of the game. T...

I've thought the same thing. The Lions brought in Garo Yepremian, who had a good rookie season, then fell off his second year and the Lions probably gave up on Yepremian too quickly. At this same time, the Lions also had Lem Barney performing the punting duties, and Barney was about as good as a pun...
