Re: Best performances by players on a losing team?
Aaron Rodgers with 423 yards passing in the playoff against the Cardinals. He had a few games where he threw over 400 and lost in the regular season. Fouts did also. Of course, Chuck Howley is the most famous example. There are probably some 60-minute guys who had exceptional games on offense and de...

Re: Two Way Players in the 1960's
Night Train Lane! Holds the Cardinals all-time longest TD reception record.
Also, Bill Butler (Packers, Cowboys, Steelers, Vikings) played both DB and HB in the 60s.

Re: Two seasons that stood out to me
Was 2003 the year Favre had a broken thumb on his throwing hand for most of the year? Interesting you said that the Packers were the best in your rating because I remember thinking that the Packers had a great chance to win the Super Bowl after crushing teams late in the season. Didn't look as good ...

Re: Chuck Foreman
That's right - it was Gale Sayers' record - Sayers broke Brown's record. Yeah, those are all great points. How far can Tarkenton take Minnesota without Foreman? Tough to get into hypotheticals like that but how would Minnesota replace that production? I agree the bar for the HOF is lower now than in...

Re: Chuck Foreman
Chuck Foreman to me, is HOF. No question HOVG and I was stunned when I learned he wasn't in there. His grouping himself in Simpson's category is likely because he and Simpson broke Jim Brown's single-season TD record the same season. Simpson ended with 23 TDs, Foreman 22. This is also where differen...

Re: 2024 NFL Predictions
Chiefs have a great chance but not much depth at the RB position. Can the rookie at left tackle hold up? Can a new QB finally emerge and help a team dethrone the Chiefs? What impact will the rookie QBs have? Is this Prescott's last season in Dallas? Though I don't believe the York family or Shanaha...

Re: 2024 NFL Predictions
I also wouldn't be surprised if the Bears and Packers split games. And really, I wouldn't be surprised if both the Bills and Packers miss the playoffs. Maybe they'd be the last ones in with the expanded playoffs that we have now. I don't think either team is as good as last year. I also wouldn't be ...

Re: 2024 NFL Predictions
Jags vs Texans - that could be a very, very good race and those teams are the most compelling to me in the AFC. At least one could end up winning a playoff game or two. My pick to surprise in the NFC is Atlanta. Drake London, Bijan Robinson - those could be some real breakout players. Morris could b...

Re: A question about something I thought of posting here
I would recommend posting the information in the best way that you think it could be conveyed and understood. This is your work and if you think it's best communicated or best understood by every five years or in one post with the entire span of data, use that method. The fact that you've done that ...

Re: Willie Lanier helmet vs. CTE
Coincidently (or not?) today is Willie's 79th birthday... Anyone know how his brain is holding up? https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/L/LaniWi00.htm He interviewed for a project I'm working on about a year ago and he was doing great at least at that time. Really smart guy. Great to chat...
