1977 AFC Title: Dolphins at Broncos

This is how it should have been if the refs didn't screw New England out of that fumble in Week 14 in Baltimore. I believe that the Fins would have defeated the Raiders the next week at the OB.

1977 NFC Title: Redskins at Cowboys

This also could have happened if a Week 14 (Bears at Giants) game would have went differently because I believe that the Redskins would have upset the Rams. It would have given us one more Allen-Landry NFC Title matchup before George left the Redskins.

Would Allen have been pushed out if he got the team to the SB?

Any/all of these would've been fantastic to see.

Jim Brown was in the NFL Championship game three times out of nine seasons. With a couple of missed field goals, he would have been in five out of nine. And this doesn't count the Browns' 1963 second place finish.

I mentioned 1960 because the Browns' near miss that year is forgotten.

That could have been the changing of the guard.

I am looking at his Wikipedia page, and it said that the owner (Edward Bennett Williams) was trying to negotiate a new deal with him at the end of the 1977 season, even though there were rumors that he was starting to question Allen's philosophy.

Allen apparently turned down a new 4-year, 1 million dollar deal, and then was dismissed. Would a SB trip change that? Maybe, if Williams would have offered him more money.
