Re: 2025 Hall of Very Good Election Results

I picked 7 of the 10. The three I chose who were not elected are Donaldson, Kopcha and Parratt. Congratulations to all inducted, as always a strong class.

Re: 1,000-yard streaks

I remember that Tony Dorsett was the first to gain 1,000 yardas in his first five seasons, but in the very next season the 1982 strike came and cancelled 7 games, erasing the posiibility for Dorsett to continue the streak and others (like Earl Campbell) to achieving it. I remember the first time so...

Re: Most "bipolar" team ever?

1985 Lions - Beat four playoff teams (Dallas, San Francisco, Miami, N.Y. Jets), but only had a 7-9 record. 1985 Cowboys - Had that famous 44-0 loss against Chicago, at Cincinnati scored on them 50 points, but they were able to beat the Redskins and the Giants all 4 times, and won the NFC East, only ...

Re: Antonio Brown

If you base induction on talent alone, Brown is a slam dunk. However, with all his off-the-field, and personality issues, I can see him not being inducted. There are definitely guys who aren't in based on what they did off-the-field who were really good. As I understand it that would be Jim Tyrer, ...

Re: Class Of 2026 Modern Preliminary List

Which candidate whose at the end of the line are you thinking about Darren Woodson or Richmond Webb. But you never know. Eric Allen was not on my HOF radar last year. My pick would be also Richmond Webb It's interesting that a few years ago Webb didn't even make the preliminary list of more than 10...

Re: I liked last night's game -Phi-GB

It's interesting how the two Prime Time games that were played on Thursday (Raiders-Broncos) and yesterday that finished with the same 10-7 score have different opinions.

Re: "Teams of Destiny" you believed in and were disappointed by

The 1990 Vikings - I thought that with Herschel Walker playing the full season and acquiring Cris Carter, the Vikings could get to the NFC Championship game. They had an 6-10 record, even that Walker and Cris Carter played all 16 games, and Anthony Carter gained morev than 1,000 yards receiving.

Bo Jackson and Herschel Walker questions

Recently I had a reunion with school friends and we talked about these two great running backs. And some questions came up (I'm sure they had been discussed in the forum before): 1) Why Herschel Walker wasn't selected in the 1984 NFL Supplemental Draft (like Steve Young and Reggie White, among other...

Re: Vikings/Raiders Super Bowl X (1975)

In 1975 also the Raiders still didn't have John Matuszak, and Dave Rowe wasn't a starter (he came from the Chargers during the season). By 1976, the Raiders moved to the 3-4 defense and Otis Sistrunk replaced Horace Jones at RDE.
