Re: NFL equivalents of “Celtics Shaq”
Oh, my mistake. I forgot about that.

Re: NFL equivalents of “Celtics Shaq”
Wait, has no one mentioned Joe Willie Namath with the Rams? Or Johnny U with the Chargers? Those are the other two big ones I think of. Franco Harris with the Seahawks is another.

Re: NFL equivalents of “Celtics Shaq”
The obvious example is Brett Favre with the Vikings. That final season was hard to watch, particularly his final game. Unless the requirements are that he spent only one year with the rival team, but Shaq bounced around the league to four different franchises in all.

Re: Coaches and GM’s who will be fired - 2026 season
Matt LaFleur is definitely in danger. Should the Packers get off to an atrocious start because of their inability to win without Micah Parsons, I can see Ed Policy changing the way things are done in Green Bay and giving him a quick hook. Likewise, if the Packers collapse at the end of the season, t...

Re: Which franchise for a period of time, in your opinion, underachieved?
2000s Philadelphia Eagles for sure. Four NFC Championship Game losses, one Super Bowl loss. Donovan McNabb was so underrated. I always hated when the Packers played the Eagles because McNabb always figured out a way to win. Stars all over the roster. Andy Reid as coach. Yeah, the Eagles should have ...

Re: Best Games (or interesting matchups) that Never Happened
Patriots-Packers in the Brady-Rodgers era. Lots of years to pick from, nearly all of which are the Packers' fault for not reaching the big game. 2010 Pats lose to Jets in divisional round, 2011 Packers lose to the other New York team in the same round, 2014 Packers choke in NFC Championship Game, 20...

Re: Were the '87 49ers the BEST ONE-AND-DONE playoff team ever?
The 2011 Packers went 15-1 and lost that one game by only five points. Then they got blown out at home by the New York Giants in the divisional round after a bye. One of the greatest offenses ever (and while the defense's numbers were bad, there was a lot of garbage time this season). They certainl...

Re: Best team to not make the playoffs? 1967 Baltimore?
I hate to keep on bringing up the Packers in all these discussions, but the 1963 Packers have a case. They lost two games - both to the Bears - in an 11-2-1 season. I guess you could say they made the "playoffs" because they played in the "Playoff Bowl," but that doesn't really c...

Re: NFL games that would be flexed out today if it was an option
The difficult thing about flex scheduling is that CBS and Fox are allowed to protect games from being flexed, and us fans aren't privy to how that works. So, I'm sure I could go to 1999's schedule and flex about 12 or 13 games, but as the season progressed, CBS and Fox might have protected Titans an...
