Re: Super Bowl XXX: COLTS vs Cowboys?

I remember that game, but I don't think you can use that as an indication of how a Super Bowl would play off. On offense, Jay Novacek had retired, and Michael Irvin was suspended. On defense, Russell Maryland, Larry Brown, Dixon Edwards, and Robert Jones had all left as free agents, and Charles Hal...

Re: Super Bowl XXX: COLTS vs Cowboys?

The next year, we got a taste of what could have happened when the Colts beat Dallas in Texas Stadium. I think the Colts had a better chance of winning than some think. They wouldn't have come out as uptight as the Steelers did. I don't see Harbaugh throwing the INT's to Larry Brown that O'Donnell ...

Re: Dolphins/Seahawks, 1999

I had fun going deep into the 1999 NFL season back in 2021. I remember taking notes and realizing there were a lot of collapses that season, and a lot of teams that started out bad and got hot. The league turned over from 1998 then turned over again around weeks 8-10 like an east texas lake in the ...

Re: Games with deceptive final scores

1999 is such an oddball season and I've always been obsessed with it. With the talk of that 99 Titans team being overrated and pointing out their weaknesses despite 13-3, I've always been super critical of that 99 Rams team that beat them and how they played one of the easiest schedules of any Supe...

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...
