As somebody that didn't live through that 1990 season for being too young it has always been mind blowing to me to hear about them winning Super Bowl XXV being this huge upset. That doesn't make any sense to me considering who all was on that team, the fact that they had just won a Super Bowl 4 year...

The talk up and bringing in Buddy worked the Cardinals had their best seasons in the box office in 94-95 drawing their biggest non-Cowboy game crowds. Eventually they dwindled down the stretch in 95 but the hype was there in 94 and early 95. A semi-related side note to my last post, the Madden devel...

The Bears preview has be dying with laughter. Important offseason departures gives "QB Peter Tom Willis (released)" a mention. LOL Ditka's analysis hilarious. On Conway: "He's got to be a big play guy. He's got to be a tough guy. He's got to be a guy who doesn't bitch and just goes o...

I feel like Seifert deserves more credit for the 1999 Panther squad, even though they barely missed the playoffs. Look at what a mess that exact same roster was a year before in 1998. For the turn around to 8-8 and barely missing the playoffs with the names on that roster was coach of the year level...

For strongest in modern era/my lifetime I always liked the playoff field in 2001, AFC Pittsburgh, Oakland, New England, defending champ Baltimore with still great defense, then Jets/Dolphins rounding out the WC. NFC with Philly, Chicago, St. Louis trifecta, the Favre Packers, a really good San Fran ...

I think a case could be made for 1991 being one of the weakest for both conferences, Washington then everybody else, Detroit, Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, New Orleans a down year for the NFC side for the 90's. AFC side Buffalo not being the powerhouse they were the year before, a Denver team that wante...

A fun read man, I don't have anything to contribute to the discussion just chiming in to say I love posts like that.

It was before my time but it seems to me like the 1985 playoff loss at home to New England in front of packed Coliseum was really the end of something for that Raider team, certainly looking at attendance numbers after it seems to be the point where they lost LA.

Ironically I think Pardee should have won COY in 1993. All that Houston turmoil and he kept them afloat as long as humanly possible Pardee didn't really seem like he was in charge to me. It seemed like Buddy Ryan was more in control there. I think that Pardee may have been a lazy hire by Bud Adams ...

The big one that always stuck out on paper to me was Jack Pardee winning over the Buccaneers coach that took them to NFCCG in 1979 just 2 years after they were the worst team in NFL history. And I don't think that Pardee Redskins team even went to the playoffs that year. It was before my time and I'...
