My mistake OP. First off, Phoenix was Wk#10, not #11, thus SF would have been 7-3 had they won; and 8-3 after beating the Raiders. Then I skipped Atlanta after both Wash & SD. Beating the Falcons as they did in realtime would have had them at 11-3 going into the final two games.

The first one…what-if Steve Young keeps his starting job for the rest of the ’88 season following week #11? The least that would have to happen was for they to prevent the Cards from coming back which they failed to do - giving up 24 unanswered after being up 23-0. That would place them at 7-4 inste...

I probably have the Raiders ranked too low while, maybe, having the '79 Steelers too high. Maybe I should have Oakland at #3. The blemish(es) of that '76 Raider team that can anchor them from being even higher up on an 'all-time' list is their one loss being a blowout at New England; and then in the...

I'm going to go with 2003. A real promising opener over the Ravens, Maddox looking to pick up where he left off the year before. But that's as good as it got. But the defense wasn't bad, better than '99, and FWIW they ended 4-4 bringing the Ravens into OT at Baltimore whilst preventing Jamal Lewis f...

Here are my, honestly unbiased (but JMHO just the same), Top 20 of a decade we can ALL get into discussing... 1) '75 Steelers 2) '78 Steelers 3) '72 Dolphins 4) '73 Dolphins 5) '76 Raiders 6) '79 Steelers 7) '77 Cowboys 8) '78 Cowboys 9) '71 Cowboys 10) '74 Steelers 11) '75 Cowboys 12) '73 Vikings 1...

A '70s playoff game between the Bengals & Colts?? As the case with Phi@NO in '92, "someone" would have to win and, to me, it would be Baltimore! If anything, the Bengals play even worse at Oakland on MNF had Steelers already been eliminated. Going into that game, Cincy had to win-out t...

The 2005 team was very good as well with Plummer at QB but didnt play well against the Steelers in the AFC championship game. Plummer would get replaced by Cutler soon afterward which I feel in hindsight, was a mistake. Why Plummer didnt try to start for another team and resume his career is a myst...

Nice responses! I do, indeed, respect that '81 team. It could have easily been they at Miami in that divisional. Whether that game would be as...'Epic' as to the match-up we actually did get (I, and I'm sure most others, would agree not), sure-enough with me it would have still been competitive. Bro...

52 special-teams tackles in a season - a RECORD!! What was the old record? Great question! I half-assed tried finding it strictly online but no results. He's one of those featured in the 'America's Game' episode on the '81 Chargers. Nice article here...(yes, WHY NOT in the Chargers Hall of Fame, at...

The 'grit' of those 'Air Coryell' teams though not their only tough guy.

52 special-teams tackles in a season - a RECORD!!

A nasty short-yardage and blocking RB.

What are your takes on him and his impact?

Thanks in-advance for your opinions!
