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 Those Titans had to steal playbooks from people to be succes...

Re: 1998
I don't know having a head coach that had been to and won as many conference title games as Dan Reeves, for some of the calls that Dennis Green was making late in that game are just unforgivable to me. If you can't coach it doesn't matter how much talent you have on the field that is a big reason w...

Re: Most boring NFL season?
IMO 97 felt like a Rubicon for football in a good way with the AFC finally winning it all. I never bought into the idea that the NFL had a golden era because the NFC never lost on Super Sunday. Quite frankly, the NFL needed a break from NFC monotony. It did. And, to tell you the truth, the NFC team...

Re: Don Shula's Best Teams
Haven't a number of players who were on both teams said that the '73 squad was better than the 17-0 group? Maybe that's anecdotal, but the '73 team had a notably tougher schedule and dominated its post-season opponents in a way the '72 team didn't. Did they? I feel like their 1973 schedule's toughn...

Re: 1998
Not only do I think those Falcons are overrated, the hate they get is deserved. 5 losing seasons in 6 years and sandwiched in between they just randomly made a Super Bowl with....... Chris Chandler Jamal Anderson was an average RB whose numbers looked good because he got a million carries against a...

Re: 1998
Can't put 98 over 1990, sorry, but love that whole Giants vs 49ers build and their clash in the NFCCG, plus the AFC seemed much stronger with Raiders/Oilers/Dolphins/Bills all getting their stuff together finally that year, plus a prime Bo Jackson and the whole Tecmo era rosters, prime NFL season i...

Re: NFL "what-if" scenarios thread
Also, since Allen stays in Washington past 1977, Bill Walsh would have been hired as Rams coach. They were ready to hire him when Allen became available in OTL (our timeline).

Re: 1980 Denver Broncos- What went wrong?
Getting back to Reeves, I feel the Cowboys were never the same after Reeves and Ditka left. Landry may have even felt that Dan would replace him. Reeves got Chris Chandler to play and stay healthy in 1998. He had been with the Oilers, but couldnt stay on the field. I was frustrated but happy for hi...

Re: 1980 Denver Broncos- What went wrong?
Outside of 1980, Miller's drafts generally weren't great That's on the kind side. They hit on just a few guys, and the misses were pretty big. That said, not sure it was Miller's fault. I don't know how their organization worked --- but you'd think he got final say ... but I don't know that for sur...

Re: 1980 Denver Broncos- What went wrong?
I like Reeves, and felt he was a good coach, but I feel the Broncos would have done just as well with Miller. They both had Collier but the Broncos never brought in enough talent to execute the Dallas finesse system. Both coaches were snake-bitten by their offensive lines. I felt Miller deserved mo...
