Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL

The whole Redskins name change deal. Yeah it was a pretty bad word at one time under a certain context. Things change over time. The word gay does not mean the same thing that it did back then either, you don't see people running around talking about man I feel so gay right now like they did in the...

Re: Are there individual stats for blocked kicks?

But, no, that's not kept. You'd have to go through game books, and even then you'll miss some. The St. Louis playoff game, for instance, saw Lewis originally credited with one of each until the Packers looked at the film and saw he deflected two other FG attempts. Deflected kicks do NOT count as bl...

Re: Teams since 1941 ranked by "Luck" rating

Luck is just a function of how you performed against your score differential, right? Or is there more to it? I’m sure as heck not going to do it, but it would be interesting to see how coaches rate in “luck”. I see the early 90s Colts high on the list, so Ted Marchibroda would score high for that era.

Are there individual stats for blocked kicks?

Was wondering who are some of the all-time leaders in blocked kicks? Is that kept as an individual statistic?

Was curious because a Packer of my youth - Gary Lewis - seemed to block a few per season in the early 80s.

Re: Scorigami part 1 of 4

I saw that video; thought it was pretty good. The thing that is most fascinating is that Jon was able to find a discrepancy in the accounts of the final score of one of the games in 1920. It does make you wonder if there are other games from those years with inconsistent accounts of what the final ...

Re: Only Mostly Dead: The Zombie Quarterbackalypse of the 2020s

I have a dire update for you all... your Comeback Player of the Year race is currently between Daniel Jones and Mac Jones. Even Carson Wentz has returned, as written in the prophecy. We are officially in The Last Of Us territory, the infection can no longer be contained. Defenses of the NFL, shelte...

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL

Fox's commitment to infantilizing the game is a tradition like no other.

From the stupid robot to the recent player animations shown after TDs. Just stop.

Re: 1981 Detroit Lions discussion

One cool thing about the Lions of that era? The silver numbers on the Honolulu blue jerseys.

Re: Teams that couldn’t win in certain places

Colts haven't won in Jacksonville (or in London) since 2014.

Re: 1981 Detroit Lions discussion

I lived in Dallas at the time. The Lions beat them on a game-winning field goal with 12 men on the field. Cowboys fans raised holy hell. Wouldn’t have changed NFC home field advantage as the Cowboys would have been 13-3, but still would have lost the tiebreaker to the 13-3 49ers. With that said.......
