All good ones. I feel like 92 was the best answer, they had that Bills team right where they wanted them, at home in Miami in the AFCCG, the Bills were dealing with injuries and weren't even supposed to be there. I could not imagine being a Dolphins fan in the stadium that day and watching that beat...

I liked the thread about the Cowboys so copying that here with Marino. As we all know the Dolphins failed to ever get back to a Super Bowl after XIX in 84-85. What do you feel was really the season that he was the closest?

The Falcons would have been wise to go with either of those options over Glanville. Though maybe the 91 season isn't as fun without him. I didn't know that about Wade going to the Oilers being a thing. I know when the Texans were launching they were considering Wade Phillips and Gary Gubiak that ear...

I've posted this somewhere else but I feel like 1990 was a pretty spectacular season and can't be topped by any seasons in the 90's that came after it. Look at the AFC with that peak Bills team 13-3, what a run, then Miami was strong that year at 12-4 with a great defense. AFC Central the Bengals we...

What if in 1993 instead of the Super Bowl being in the Georgia Dome the NFL went back to the old way where the team with the best record hosted the title game in their home stadium? Could the Cowboys have beat Buffalo in Buffalo in this scenario? Were the 90 Giants, 91 Redskins, (92 the Bills beat t...

For me I'm reminded of the 2001 season. I was super hyped for those playoffs all year long because I was sure we would get 2 matchups that I really wanted to see, Oakland vs Pittsburgh in the AFCCG, and Chicago vs St. Louis in NFCCG. Of course the tuck rule and the Eagles messed that up for me. Per...

Lovely thread and deep dive into a series I never really thought about before. This forum needs a like button, I would definitely be over using it. For me I'm reminded of the 2001 season. I was super hyped for those playoffs all year long because I was sure we would get 2 matchups that I really want...

That's nuts he got passed by his little brother. I figured that would have taken a few more years. But puts into perspective how short JJ's prime really was, and this is why I could never put him over Andre Johnson as the all time greatest Texan. I watched every snap of JJ's career, even his Arizona...

Good lord what a beautiful thread. Posting here so I can come back and finish reading later. I would say for me the 60's I would split into AFL and NFL, no need to lump both together if the merger didn't happen yet. For AFL I would agree with a lot of others on the first page or two about the 1969 s...

If 1971 was..."weak", which I'm not sure I feel that way about, then the year before was well weaker thus should be the season this thread is based on instead. The only team in 1970 that was championship-caliber-enough going into those playoffs was Minnesota. But they had their flaws as w...
