The Bills run defense with Fletcher was very good when he had two big, talented DT's in front of him: Sam Adams and Pat Williams. When Buffalo only had one or the other, the run defense was extremely bad. Fletcher still made a lot of tackles, but they were mostly 5-6 yards downfield Possible HOVG ca...

Brown didnt properly forcast alot of players, who were motivated to prove him wrong with other teams. Not just Jordan, Quinlan or Davis but Parilli for GB, Howton, Clarke for Dallas, Mitchell for Washington, Plum for Detroit, Dawson for KC, Marshall for Minn, Donovan, Rechichar and Shula for Baltim...

Wait that's illegal How so? Has to be some kind of collusion/competitive balance violation. There's zero chance a GM wouldn't get banned indefinitely from the league today for this. You might want to look up the definition of collusion: "secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy, especially ...

How so?

Steve Slaton was a cinderella RB for the Texans in 2008. He turned into a pumpkin after that ... Mike Anderson was a tough RB for the Broncos but couldnt follow up his great year in 2000 succeeding Terrell Davis. To his credit he had another 1000 yard year in 2005. Tatum Bell had a decent year for ...

I know, what a steal that was for the Bills. They received two Hall of Famers in that trade!
(I'm assuming Powell will be elected to the HOF this February, as all other recent Senior candidates have been.)

I swear I thought Clay Matthews Jr. had been inducted long ago.

Matthews only became eligible for the HOVG in the last year or two.

In 1999, Jamal Anderson's injury really hurt, and Chandler missed four games. Also, they didn't have WR Tony Martin, and promising third-year TE O.J. Santiago seemed to regress. The Falcons cut Martin a month after the Super Bowl. He was charged with money laundering for a convicted drug dealer. At...

Chandler had been very good, when healthy, with Atlanta. The Falcons had started 1-7 in 1997; Chandler had not played in two of the losses, and he was knocked out of four other games (Atlanta lost all 4.) In the 2nd half of the 1997 season, Chandler finished every game, had a 101 passer rating in th...

Agreed. Every time I hear a 90s (or later) Cowboy fan bitch about how Jerry Jones fired Tom Landry, I ask them how Jerry should've done it differently? In thirty-four years, not a single one has come back with a decent answer. "Well, I would've done it differently" is usually the best the...
