Re: 1990's Chiefs
For some reason I've always been a Chiefs fan (or at least I've never had anything against them) and I never liked Marty Schottenheimer. Carl Peterson - I seem to recall hearing about what a good job he did in the USFL - I think for the Baltimore/Philadelphia Stars - and I feel like he did a good jo...

Re: 2023/24 Super Bowl
I long ago came to the conclusion that, more often than not, the best team doesn't win the championship. Too many variables--weather, bad calls, lucky bounce, playoff seeding, injuries, etc.---that are out of a team's control and cancel out the opponent's superior talent. I don't think some of the ...

Re: A question about evaluating quarterbacks
I'd chalk that up to late 80s video game developers just not knowing much about Sid Luckman and Otto Graham and thinking their stats looked low . Pretty impressive for something that old to include basically a Madden Ultimate Team prototype, though. The real answer, of course, to why we use certain...

Re: A question about evaluating quarterbacks
Getting back to the original question: yeah, there certainly are several factors to take into account, no question about it. And probably every person who does so weighs different factors differently. Example: I have this football simulation (from the '80s into the early '90s) that at one point prov...

Re: A question about evaluating quarterbacks
Eli Manning will stir much debate come October I don't think there's much to debate. He got on a couple of runs and won a couple of S.B.s (albeit against one of the all-time best) but outside of that there was absolutely nothing special about him, in my opinion. One person I know (who is VERY MUCH ...

Re: 2023/24 Super Bowl
And the announcers are talking about a Chiefs three-peat . Geez ... Watch out Brady, according to the media, Mahomes and the Chiefs will catch your seven team championships in no time ... haha I missed all the post-game stuff (I was upset that the 49ers lost and I DEFINITELY wasn't interested in an...

Re: Mahomes, going into SBLVIII today, what HOF QBs has he already 'passed'??
Patrick Mahomes, now that he's engineered a couple of road playoff victories, has done just about everything that can be asked of of an N.F.L. QB. And pardon me if this has already been brought up (I'm a little upset that SFO lost tonight and as a result I didn't read this entire thread) but anothe...

Re: 2023/24 Super Bowl
To me, the missed extra point and Jones hitting Purdy before he could throw to a wide open Deebo Samuel in the endzone were the keys to the game. Purdy didnt have any turnovers but couldnt build bigger leads.* That still doesnt mean a frustrated Shanahan wouldnt consider going with Cousins in the o...

Re: 2023/24 Super Bowl
I dunno, racepug ... I could understand the Chiefs winning it last year with an opportunistic defense and much better offense but the defense really did the job this year while the offense worked through their problems. Pacheco is a tough young runner and deserved his second ring. I'm not saying K ...
