My immediate thought was the 1978 Packers … if you don’t count Lynn Dickey, who wasn’t active that season. But I forgot that Bobby Douglass was on that team. Douglass wasn't acquired until the season had already started, so the Packers' quarterbacks going into the first game were Whitehurst (two ca...

Apropos of very little, I swear there was NFL Films footage of Bum getting his cowboy hat stolen off of his head at Atlanta when he was Saints coach. It was late in his time in New Orleans.

I saw it in on Inside The NFL at the time, but have never been able to find footage of it.

Probably just as well for the Packers. With their injuries, they’re would have had to sign Phil Epps and Aundra Thompson for another playoff game.

How was Houston the final wild card team over Seattle in 1990 when they each had 9-7 records and Seattle beat Houston head-to-head? Houston was 8-4 in AFC games and Seattle was 7-5, but wouldn't the head-to-head tiebreaker come first? Pittsburgh was also 9-7 so it came down to conference record. Ho...

In fact, the Lions have had very few impactful games against any of the NFC North teams thanks to their ineptitude/mediocrity. Packers played...

Surprised there’s not a single Saints team from 1967-86 on the worst list.

The NFC gets the Steelers instead of the AFC. Do they still make four Super Bowls coming out of the NFC? Probably. I could see them dominating the Cowboys and Rams in the NFC playoffs. Although that may not be the same Super Bowls. I think we definitely would have seen a Raiders vs. Steelers SBXI i...
