In the 1981 NFC Championship game, the game known as The Catch, if not for one then-legal horse-collar tackle, how different would Cowboys quarterback Danny White's legacy be? Having brought them back in the last minute to reach the Super Bowl to face the Cincinnati Bengals, instead of being known a...

Which franchise, in your opinion, for a period of time, for the lack of a better term, underachieved? Not to under estimate what it takes to win at the highest level, in addition to having the necessary talent and skill, timing and good fortune also play a part as well such as remaining injury-free,...

Were the 11-1-2 1967 Baltimore Colts the best team to not make the playoffs? Four points from being tied in leading the league in scoring and the Colts surrendered only two more points than the NFL's stingest defense, the Los Angeles Rams, who by the way also led the league in scoring. Other teams a...

I saw Nitschke at the very end of his career. Could he cover as well and play as deep as Lambert in passing situations?

Getting the idea from the Worst one-and-done playoff teams post, which teams were the best one-and-done playoff teams? The '87 49ers come to mind. They had a 13-2 record and led the NFL in scoring, and they lost to the 8-7 Minnesota Vikings at home in Candlestick Park with Anthony Carter having a ga...

Cowboys-Raiders in Super Bowl XII instead of Cowboys-Broncos. I agree ... I actually believe the Raiders would have beaten the Cowboys in New Orleans, had they gotten out of Denver even though the Cowboys were my team. The Cowboys had firepower but the Raiders secondary still had Willie Brown, Jack...

I have the utmost respect for fans that brave those kind of elements for hours. My dad told me at least the players get to run around and generate some heat, the fans don't. When I was young and you've all seen guys with their shirts off at football games in cold weather, I would yell to my dad, &qu...

Eli Manning had something to do with that. Thank goodness or we'd never hear the end of the Patriots glory years. I think once you lower the bar to playoff and non-Super Bowl years you then can start to add other teams into the mix (opening a Pandora's box?) and water down the greatness of a dynasty...

Do you think the Ice Bowl would be played today? In those conditions? Or would public safety be a concern and player safety in our litigious world? Delayed? Moved to another city and/or possibly moved indoors?

As a Steelers fan, I find it downright criminal that Tomlin, a former defensive coach, had Roethlisberger, Bell, Brown, Bryant, in their prime and also had a good offensive line and that offense should have averaged 30 points per game but they lost to Blake Bortles and the Jacksonville Jacquars at ...
