Re: 2025 Convention Update

Awesome news. Glad to hear Darrell Thompson could make it, amd Randy Snow is one of the very best presenters I've ever heard speak at a PFRA/WNY PFRA meeting.

Re: Least experienced QB corps ... ones with fewest wins going into season

The 1970 Buffalo Bills only had 1 previous win amongst their QB corps. The starting QB was rookie Dennis Shaw. The backup was 2nd year player James "Shack" Harris, who went 0-1 in his rookie year. No wonder the Bills sent a ball boy to pick him up at the airport. (The ball boy was Joe Horr...

Re: Games with deceptive final scores

Too bad the 1999 Jag-offs had nothing for the Titans! ... haha One of the worst SB teams ever. TEN was a smoke and mirrors 13-3 team with a weak schedule and nonexistent passing game. They were basically the Eddie George/Jevon Kearse show Pretty harsh assessment, and also pretty unfair (except for ...

Re: Joe Gibbs' 3 Super Bowls- a great achievment or an asterisk?

I'll always remember that shot of him on the sidelines after Darrin Nelson dropped that pass from Wade Wilson to send the Skins to the Super Bowl, breathing the biggest sigh of relief I have ever seen. It was like all the blood drained from his body. He was playing an 8-7 team at home. What did he ...

Re: Games with deceptive final scores

While not in these categories, I also find interesting when a team having a big lead insert their backups late in the game, and they keep scoring. One game that I remember was the 1981 Cowboys-Colts game at Baltimore. In that game both Glenn Carano and David Humm made the only start of their career...

Final Bills 24 Oilers 10. 1977 Vikings at Packers. Walter Peyton gain 275 yards for an NFL game record. Minnesota's only score was on a blocked punt...

Re: Cumulative NFL Draft Trivia - 20 Questions

I'm going to guess that the answer to #5 is 1996: Terrell Owens, Marvin Harrison, Eric Moulds, Keyshawn Johnson, Terry Glenn, Eddie Kennison, Amani Toomer, Bobby Engram.

And #14's answer is 2011: J.J. Watt, Von Miller, Cam Heryward, Cam Jordan, Justin Houston, Ryan Kerrigan, Robert Quinn.

Re: Elam Ending in the NFL

Much like basketball, the end of a football game is very often the worst football played in the game. It's arguably even worse . No one goes to a game to watch teams run out the clock and, worst of all, kneel. So let's make every game end in a score; say, set the winning score at 10 points above wh...

Re: Sabbatical concept in NFL

Red Grange retired in 1928, after suffering a severe knee injury with the New York Yankees in 1927. The knee injury affected his ability to cut, and he lost considerable speed. George Halas offered him a contract for 1929, and Grange accepted. He proved to be a superb defensive back, and an above av...
