We have a game to dissect for historical purposes, as the Bucs win a shutout game without completing a pass? The running game was dominant, while the defense had four interceptions while allowing only 8 completions. Atlanta was so bad they couldnt even score on a 76 yrd pass play I figured this wou...

Dallas, in '92 and the following years, had such the team- speed! And, of course, the coaching led by Jimmy. With no running game, Dan wouldn't have had much less problems against that Dallas D than he did vs San Fran eight years prior. Big D may have not beaten Mia/Pit/Hou/SD by a score of 59-17 (...

Problem with ranking conference runner-ups is that your mind gets distorted by what they may have done before or after. I maintain that the 1990 49ers were wildly fortunate to be 14-2. They were 8-1 in games decided by a possession or less. While that is a tribute to their refusal to lose that kind ...

I love ties ... because it drives people who can't abide a third result for a contest insane.

Our culture is so weird about ties. Cracks me up.

So what’s it like to try to get a request from NFL Films?

1. 1998 Vikings Exactly. Also, I would have the 1994 Steelers rated ahead of some of the teams ahead of them, like the 1996 Panthers and 1997 49ers. If either of these bottom two miraculously won their CCG they would easily be the worst SB participant ever. 19. 1995 Colts 20. 1996 Jaguars Worse tha...

I see a lot of old man moaning on here. That’s OK, I am often guilty myself. There’s been plenty of good SNF games. Especially given the advantage flex scheduling gives that time slot. We don’t think SNF is as big of a deal because there’s at least three prime-time games per week now. When MNF was a...

2010 or now, it’s a dumb list and the usual tortured logic applies. Cowboys-Redskins ruled out because of relevance in 2010. OK, but Browns-Bengals was somehow relevant at the time? Please. I think if you asked most Browns fans who their biggest rival is they would say the Steelers, not the Bengals....

In the late 60s/early 70s, some teams put the opponent colors/name in the end zone in the regular season.

I was watching This Week In Pro Football covering the final week of the 1972 regular season. The Rams hosted the Lions in the finale. Until it was brought back when the Rams returned to L.A. from St. Louis, it was the last time the Rams played in their blue-and-white scheme, including the blue-and-w...
