Re: The Death of NFL Dynasties

The 90's Cowboys dynasty probably never should have happened. They needed to pull off the most lopsided trade ever to get the talent. Then, they ran into a worn out Bills team two years in a row, and then O'Donnell threw them two gift-wrapped INT's to give them a third ring a few years later. I don...

Re: Rodgers-Elway debate

Rodgers was way, way more consistent than Elway.

Re: Are the 1990 Giants underrated?

I think the 1990 Giants were better than the 1986 Giants by dint of having better depth at more positions. I also don’t think it was an upset at all. That might be NFL Films hagiography/inaccurate perception coming into play. I will say I was glad the Giants beat the 49ers because I felt San Fran wa...

Re: Historical Collection of Media Guides

I have an entire set of 2005 media guides. Housed in custom AFC and NFC packaging.

They belonged to the Indianapolis Colts. I had a role at their training camp at the time. They were going to toss them. I asked if I could have them and they said I could.

Re: 1965 NFL season discussion

It wouldn’t have been named the Don Shula Trophy back then … unless he died. The Lombardi Trophy was named
posthumously.

Re: Super Bowl LX, 2/8/26 Levi's Stadium

Congrats to Seattle, a worthy champ, but it was a forgettable game that appropriately capped a pretty mediocre season.

Re: NFL Team Yearbooks: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

They’re all propaganda, and yet, I enjoy them. You get a time capsule of obscurantia/nostalgia.

I’ve not seen them all by any means, but the Packers films of my youth are probably funny. I’m sure there’s fawning montages to the coming stardom of Alphonso Carreker and Jessie Clark.

Re: 1978 Philadelphia Eagles - Mike Michel

How much grief did Vermeil take for this at the time? Seems like a textbook case of neglect of a key position. Not to mention expecting Michel to do a job that wasn't the reason he was on the team to begin with. I know we weren't very far from kickers playing other positions (or the other way around...

Re: Forty Niners/Colts history

That 1995 win over the 49ers began a stretch of three straight seasons in which the Colts beat the defending Super Bowl champion.

I was at the 2013 game, but I remember absolutely nothing about it. Colts won 27-7.
