Re: 1979 Rams

The 1979 Rams were better than their 1973-78 predecessors. They had a more quality offensive line, they were deeper at WR, and Ferragamo provided some stable QB play for them in 1979 and 1980 before leaving for the CFL in 1981. This team gets crapped on because of their 9-7 record, but they did hav...

Re: Flacco makes his first Pro Bowl!

I have always wondered if Plunkett and Williams had made the Pro Bowl if the Conference rosters in 1980s carried three quarterbacks. While I am (maybe in the minority) who think that Pro Bowl selection mattered when comparing HOF/HOVG candidates, I think for quarterbacks doesn't really apply, becaus...

Re: The Death of NFL Dynasties

The '70s Cowboys dynasty faded in the 1983 game at home against the Redskins, in that famous 4th down play when Danny White called a play instead of waiting for the Washington defense to jump offside. To Tom Landry's credit, the Cowboys were still a winning % team until Danny White's injury in the m...

Re: Question for everyone

In the late 1970s and early 1980s. Football Digest was one of the few NFL magazines avaliabale in Mexico City. I remember vividly the 1979 magazine when it was announced that Dick Butkus, Johnny Unitas, Yale Lary and Ron Mix were inducted into the PFHOF. They also printed the list (and fortunately, ...

Re: 2026 Hall of Very Good Nominations

I just submitted my nominations. Hopefully someone can nominate Billy Sims and William Andrews (I have done it in the past), as they were great players whose careers were cut biy injuries and before that they had a case for Canton.
