Agreed on the 6 team AFC Central from 1999 to 2001. That was something special. Wasnt there like a Jaguars vs Browns feud that developed those years organically? You had the bottlegate game and then the rematch the next season both teams went after each other like it was a playoff game(and they both...

Would have been interesting to see a healthy Young/49ers or Cunningham/Eagles against the 91 Redskins in those playoffs, I think they take both of those teams even healthy that season but would have been better games than Falcons/Lions we got. A 3rd Eagles/Redskins game in 91 that defense against th...

Wow this thread is a blast. I actually went crazy with an idea like this I got from the AFL Full Color Football docu. In that doc there are some talking heads that hint around that maybe the AFL would have been fine without the merger, perhaps even better off(Al Davis in that doc seemed to be hintin...

How was the running game next to Carr? They had a rookie running back the first year 2002, so rookies at all skill positions on the offense is wild to start an expansion team. Then they had no veteran QB to mentor Carr either to go along with that, any type of veteran presence on that offense would...

Also thought it was cruel irony for him that the Cardinals had the best offer on the table to trade for Montana prior to the 93 season(Bugel's...

The NFL owners meet in Minnesota today, and I heard a report they are considering changing how teams are seeded for the playoffs. My understanding is the seeding would be based on record, which would have changed the seeding for the NFC North situation last season. I’m for it, but I hope they don’t...

Willie Roaf in 2001 had a huge impact on the Houston Texans franchise. He was put up on the expansion draft by the Saints, then some kind of funny business with the NFL or the Saints or both but they had to pull him due to that injury in 2001. Maybe he failed a physical or something but Houston wen...
