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...

Although that may not be the same Super Bowls. I think we definitely would have seen a Raiders vs. Steelers SBXI i...

Perhaps some variation of this has been discussed, but what if the teams they moved from the NFL to the AFC as part of the merger were the most recently created NFL teams instead of the Browns, Steelers and Colts? The Saints, Falcons and Vikings go to the AFC instead. New teams vs. old teams. Viking...

Jonathan Taylor joins the Pat Tilley/Sterling Sharpe goal line drop hall of fame. They got away with it. He didn't.

They peaked in 1979 when they had a defense to go with the offense, but few think of them that way.
