It’s the simple Fouts throwing plenty of INTs and the Dallas D only picking the ball off just 13 times that regular which seems more intriguing the more I think of it. Of course I, personally, am glad the matchup never happened. I don’t think the game would have turned out as good as what we really ...

Let's just say that the close loss to the Rams in the divisional round flips in their favor. I'd say that even without Staubach the following week, the 'Boys get it done over Tampa Bay and its off to their third-straight Super Bowl. And let's also say that San Diego turns that close loss to a deplet...

Sorry for bringing back up a very old topic. But just thought I do so in case there'd be some updated takes on this. Or, perhaps, from those who didn't post here yet at the time. Both one-year squads got the commonality! And I specify "one-year" because at least the '88 Eagles made the pla...

Not accusing Collier of being an all-time great DC. I wouldn't pick him in an all-time roster/full-coaching staff. But he was at least good enough to lead Denver to those playoff berths through the '80s. Maybe I was wrong to place him over Reeves as the "reason". Yeah, probably. And I did ...

How did Bob Lily and Joe Greene Historically get it done without lifting weights??? And then you hear about Lambert sitting on a bench, smoking a cigarette, and then leaving the gym. Speed-position players, back then, not lifting weights? Ok. But defensive players that weren't secondary?? To be a fo...

Not judging by FG or XP %-age, or how many long FGs made, etc, but simply who was the best at pinning the opposing offense deep in their own territory or maybe kicked-off well enough to prevent big returns? super tough question. There could be some numbers available for people to research but it ma...

Imagine if after the draft, trades can be made! This way, you can be like Ozzie Newsome and pick strictly on who you think the best available player is regardless of position (have everyone ranked ahead of time before picking). And then, after the trade deadline, determine who the best teams are. Th...

;) I kind of feel re the 1980's Denver Broncos that Dan Reeves went 85-50-1 during the 1980's in his first head coaching job and should be in the Hall of Fame, but as Bill Parcells said in his book with Jerry Izenberg "The Broncos (of that era) just cannot handle power". But as you say 13...

Elway's second season. 13-3 finish. The first division-winner in the Dan Reeves era. Had Dallas, who had to win to get in at all, beat Miami at the Orange Bowl in the finale on MNF, the Broncos instead would have been top-seed in the AFC; but still would have had to play Pittsburgh in the divisional...
