1991 the pass rush picked up. They went from 33 sacks to 52. Mike Croel, the AP Rookie of the Year had 10 sacks. Probably the reason the defense intercepted 23 passes vs 10 the year before. Atwater, with 2 seasons under his belt, made All Pro 1991 8-3 in one score games 1990 2-7 in one score games A...

Maybe the all decades team should take into account the 2 years before and after that decade? So '78-91 covers the 1980s Decade Team and ''88-'01 would be the 1990s Decade Team.

Owners usually have the final say on films and George Halas was known to complain about some of the shady fans captured at games by NFL films. In an NFL films video they touched on Halas not wanting Bears players highlighted in close ups as that would increase that players popularity and make him a...

True, and you gave great examples, though none of those teams became champions. Contenders yes, and like I said early in the thread, that guy was jealous about the Dolphins turning it around so quickly. Even at that time, hardly any teams did it. The Rams you mentioned, had a winning season in Alle...

I looked fairly fast but the only season of Cowhers 15 seasons where that division had 3 teams above .500 was 2000 while Tomlin had 7 of 19 seasons with the division having 3 teams higher than .500

Cowher was less likely to loose by a large margin in the playoffs compared to Tomlin.

2000 Titans better than 1999. They gave up 133 less points. 155 point differential compared to 68 That said the 1961 Oilers may be better than them. Outgained their opponents by over 2000 yards. 271 point differential. I think that is the 2nd best point differential behind 07' Patriots. And yes this...

Chargers 1963

Although he's obviously no slouch in the regular season, Riggins, in the playoffs, is a nice weapon.
It's a shame that Fugett didn't stay healthy. Although Donny Warren did an ok job good job filling in with 26 catches but 0 TDs. Fugett had 3 TDs on 10 catches.

1964 Redskins +22 and 6-8

They were out gained by 100 yards and penalized for 200 yards more

Any others?

I haven't heard any mentions about the comparison to Draft Day (2014) with Ryan Leaf and the 1998 draft? QB Leaf with some problems. Just like the movie QB going through the draft. The Cardinals traded their first round #2 for the Chargers first round #3, the Chargers 2nd round pick in 1998, the 199...
