Doing some research on the mid-50s Lions, who won back to back then made the championship game. This is pre-Super Bowl, of course. They had a great chance to three-peat in that era. I think the Packers had been the only threepeat before them - in the late 20s/early 30s before the playoff era. One t...

I've said it previously...I think the 1975 Pittsburgh Steelers are the #1 Team of All-Time! And considering that, seemingly, most don't see it this way - giving '78 and also '76 more Historic kudos as already mentioned - perhaps they are, indeed..."underrated". It's either me seeing them a...

1944, the peak of the War's depleting effect on the NFL, would be Curly Lambeau's sixth, and final, World Championship as the Packers' HC. From there, it would be mediocre-or-worse finishes. The next three seasons he'd finish in 3rd at just-above-500. And then the bottom fell out at 3-9 and 2-10 to ...

The full, exact calendar-decade book-ended by the franchise's 2nd and 3rd NFL Championship seasons. A total of six different head coaches within that time-span. Of course the first thing I think about - and, I'm sure, most of us do - when hearing of the 1950 team is the notorious season opener. But ...

Both teams finished 10-6 but failed to make the playoffs. Which of these two double-digit-win Joe Gibbs squads was better, and why?

Yes, I could add that other 10-6 non-playoff squad from '79 in there, but I'm clearly certain that just about everyone in here would place them as best. I know I would.

Starting back in 1938, when the Rams were in Cleveland, both franchises have met 47 times with the Rams thus far leading, 30-17. And two of those are playoff games. Both such games are within an era that I'll focus on to start this thread. That 'era' being when Bill Parcells and John Robinson were t...

1984 In an era when the Monday Night Football schedule was basically cross your fingers and flex scheduling did not exist, that Dallas/Miami game (MIA playing for 1 seed, DAL fighting for their playoff lives) was as significant a Monday Night finale as the NFL had ever seen to that point Even if Do...

Of course... Super Bowl VI is the most notable. Plenty to be said about it on this thread and, perhaps, should be said considering that it doesn't get quite the historic attention. As we all know, it's not just Cowboys/Dolphins games to look at, but Cowboys/ Colts games as well. And I'll start there...

Okay it’s official…Brown, Lombardi, and Noll are the ‘Holy Trinity’ with me! Neither of the three above or below the other two.

It's a toss-up between the 2020 Packers and the 2022 Chiefs. The Packers I felt, were just as good as the Bucs but were out-coached in the NFC championship game. How do you not win after intercepting Brady three times in the second half? Kevin King was constantly burned, yet the Packers had their c...
