Future of the Commanders franchise

What do you think will inevitably come of the Commanders franchise? I'm raising this question because it really doesn't seem like Washington D.C. is embracing the new rendition of the NFL team from their city. I'm watching some highlights of the games played yesterday and the stadium looked like it ...

Re: Dynasties of Heartbreak (Football Outsiders)

Sorry Jeffrey ... Lets get your take. Do you believe Dan Reeves deserves to be in the HOF, despite the SB blowouts ? Unlike Levy, he took multiple teams to the SB ... I'll take a stab at this. During his time at Denver it's hard to say if it was him who was most responsible for the teams success or...

Re: Dynasties of Heartbreak (Football Outsiders)

I still maintain though, that if Levy could make the HOF as coach, so should Dan Reeves, who lost three SBs in four seasons, even with Elway at the helm. Those Bills teams though in my opinion were far better than those '80's Bronco teams. Those Bills teams were some legit Super Bowl teams but just...

Re: The 25 best teams to miss the playoffs 1978 to 2019

The 1979 Washington Redskins were minutes away from clinching a playoff berth in their final game of the season against the Dallas Cowboys, but Roger Staubach engineered one of his great comebacks and the Redskins lost 35-34 to finish 10-6. They were tied with the Bears for the final playoff spot, ...

Re: The Death of NFL Dynasties

Though it's pretty clear what caused the '90's Dallas Dynasty to unravel I do think they would have had an excellent shot at winning four in a row if they had simply retained Ken Norton Jr. If Ken Norton Jr is with the Cowboys in '94 I don't think San Francisco beats them regardless if they had Deio...

Re: NEW USFL

So how is this league faring up to this point. What are the chances of this actually getting a second season? Honestly I havn't paid much attention to it. Minor league talent playing in front of empty stadiums just isn't very interesting at all.

Super Bowl thoughts

It was a decent game and I like the fact that a little bit of defense was played. I do find it a little suspicious though that during a game where barely a penalty was called the entire game as soon as the big market team starts driving for the go-ahead last-minute score the penalties start coming o...

Re: BRADY Retires

He goes out tied with Otto Graham for QB'ing his teams to 7 championships. Of course, Otto did it in 10 years. If he'd put in the years Brady did, he might've retired with 10, maybe more. Who knows? As always, different era, different rules. But props to Brady. Winning a title with a new team his f...

So how bad were the bad teams during the pre- salary cap era

I think we can all safely agree that the good teams now aren't nearly as good as they were pre- salary cap era. However that also would mean that the bad teams now aren't nearly as bad as the teams pre salary cap. So how god awful would you say many of those very poor pre salary cap era teams were. ...

Re: 2022 Divisional round

Why not more bump and run? It's tough to execute. KC is a top team and what works against other teams might not work against them. Mahomes is big, he can get out of the pocket and run. Kelce is big and they have as much speed as any team I've ever seen. They can do some sick stuff. Like that play i...
