Re: Best, and worst, team this decade so far?

What do you all think about the 1-15 Saints of Covid-2020? Perhaps a nice debate on whose worse between they and the bag-heads of 1980! Yes, Bryan, the 2021 Bucs I really thought would win it again - but as a best-record-in-league team this time! I actually do remember prior to the season me predict...

Re: 1991-92 World League

Get an Ireland franchise in there! I believe the Rooneys are trying to drum-up even-more NFL-interest there! The Dublin Brewers! Guinness Stadium, perhaps! Their colours could be whatever the exact shade-of-black the Guinness Beer is and whatever the exact colour of its...Head! A capital 'D' on the...

RIP Larry Allen

I keep forgetting that he wasn’t on the ’92/’93 teams. Never played for Jimmy.

Maybe I knew at the time, maybe I didn’t, but if I ever knew I forgot since then that he ended his career with San Fran; and made the Pro Bowl with them as well!

Best, and worst, team this decade so far?

Just four seasons gone in this, here, 2020s decade. Whether its a Super Bowl-winner, a strong runner-up, or a team that didn't even make it to that very game but were eliminated in an upset, what one-year team do you think is best thus far? And what one-year team do you think is the weakest whether ...

Re: Weakest above-500 team to NOT make the playoffs?

I'm surprised the '78 Packers haven't been mentioned yet. #24 offense, #19 defense, minus-20 PD and giving up more than 850 total yards than they gained (however, with much more plays on the defense side of the ball, both offense and defense averaged the same amount of Y/P, each at 4.4). Seattle, w...

Re: 1991-92 World League

I didn't follow this at all when it was around. I guess ESPN aired the games. A pretty strange divisional alignment set-up those two seasons were. A three-team division, yet alone two of them, is always way too small. Being that teams didn't exactly play everyone in their divisions twice anyway, th...

Re: Weakest above-500 team to NOT make the playoffs?

After going 13-33-1 the previous three years and before going 10-22 the next two years, the Packers somehow went 10-6 in 1989. They were fortunate on a few fronts: - They had a last-place schedule, which meant the woeful Cowboys twice and not having to deal with the rough AFC Central; - They got a ...

Re: "Equal"s

I wouldn't say necessarily "equal" but I would say Brown, Lombardi, and Noll are above everybody else - a higher tier of coach than anyone else. They are each their own, so I wouldn't call them equals but they are equals in terms of who they are historically, IMO. And I guess maybe that's...

"Equal"s

Teams, players, coaches, games, seasons, events...when it comes to ranking two of them against each other, which is a case of you seeing them as "even-Steven" (this can also be a case of being more than just two being equal, if you like)? For instance, I opine that Landry/Shula, Brees/Rodg...
