Re: 2017 NFL Season Discussion

Wow, no love for Dallas on this thread! They are better than last season, especially on defense, and will take the East with 11-12 wins as long as they have Zeke in the backfield. I would have expected the Giants to be #2 in the East but they look terrible on offense (even if OBJ comes back they sti...

1945 Bill Paschal

Hello all,

In 1945, Bill Paschal played in 4 games, starting 1, for the New York Giants. I know he played against the Rams in week 7 and the Packers in Week 10. Can anyone ID the other two games in which he played? It's rather odd because he led the team in rushing attempts that season....

Re: '80 Eagles lose by "less than 25" to win East in finale

I remember watching that game and being incredibly excited watching the Cowboys build that huge lead and covering the 25 point difference needed to take the division. But the Eagles came back and, as I recall, Dallas really couldn't stop them at the end. After that, it was "oh well, on to the W...

Re: Mid '80's Cowboys

What do you make of the mid '80's Cowboys? It is a bit of an interesting period where they really weren't Super Bowl contenders anylonger but still an above average team that tended to start off seasons strong but then struggle to the finish line. Was it a matter of a still talented team that was j...

Re: New PFRA Book: AAFC Encyclopedia

Ken, did you include defensive lineups for each team in each season? I'm wondering at the amount of detail included (there have been a couple of very general encyclopedias covering the AAFC; I have most, if not all, of them!). Game recaps in detail or just box scores? Long Gains for RBs and WRs?

I do think he should make HoVG. He had a very solid career overall IMHO.

Re: Romo Retires

Romo has a good tv personality so it is not surprising that the networks would be vying for him. As far as how Romo compares to past Cowboy qb's like White and Meredith that is a very interesting question. Obviously White and Meredith had a lot more success but at the same time they had about twice...

Sacks as part of rushing average

I need to verify: the NFL counted sacks against a QB's rushing yardage/stats in 1945 and both the NFL and AAFC counted them against the QB's rushing yardage/stats in 1946. In 1947, they went back to being a separate category (tackles for loss), correct?
