I bet that some people may have gotten that vibe from the 2001 Steelers after they beat the Ravens in December and in the Divisional round, but destiny crumbled in the AFC Title Game against the Patriots.

Correct me if I'm wrong but would Spygate have anything to do with Belichick's abilities as a GM? That's a good question. Honestly, I believe it may not because most of the players aren't in on it. The only people that were involved (more than likely) were Bill, Ernie Adams, Brady, and possibly the...

What does Marvin Harrison have to do with Eddie George’s long TD run or Terrence Wilkins going out of bounds in a critical spot?

He had a key drop.

Looked up Ernie Adams, apparently he had a long career as an assistant and used a camera that monitored opponent sidelines as part of the footage they collected. It's possible that he was doing things like that in the early-90's when he was with Belichick in Cleveland. Art Modell said that he would...

As for the Pats, is it unfair to say that they would've been one of the better teams in the league for a long time, and maybe won a title or two if the league didn't favor them as consistently as they have? If the league didn't favor them, and would have wanted to find justice, they would have take...

In 2017, the Eagles came close to starting their own dynasty. They won that year (would have been changing of the guard), and if Jeffery doesn't drop that pass in NO in the 18 Div. Round, they may have won that game (they would have played the Rams, and they would have been one game away from having...

The Chargers spanked the 49ers 31-9 in 1979 (Week 5). The loss dropped SF to 0-5 (they would start 1-13 before beating the playoff-bound Bucs 23-7 in Week 14). At that point, if I had to guess, it looked like the Chargers had way better odds to be the team of the 80's.

Which of those team's success was more shocking?

Teams that were basically 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Power without speed, physicality without separation, quarterbacks that outside of Montana were basically glorified handoff machines. The Chargers did have speed at WR with Anthony Miller. Also, Montana was the expert of the long handoff (short ...

A One dimensional style of offense just like those outdated NFC East teams who were basically one trick ponies: big, slow, plodding, boring, literally an offensive line and nothing else.

Teams that the Bills had trouble with in the Super Bowl.
