Re: 1988 NFL Draft: The Year A Kicker was picked before the first quarterback
There was one other year, 1974, when no QBs were picked in the first two rounds. Danny White was the first, to the Cowboys in Round 3. Results wise 1988 wasn't the worst performing year, with Chandler and Stan Humphries having careers. 1976 was bad (1st rounder Richard Todd and table scraps). I thin...

Re: Strongest/weakest group of playoff teams in a given season
1970 AFC was a weak group. Bengals start off 1-6 and somehow make it in. Dolphins also have big winning streak to get in, 10-4, but not a complete team yet and I don't think Shula could overcome weaknesses in the playoffs. The Colts were 11-2-1 but with a weak schedule and some obvious holes. Raider...

Re: 1965 NFL season discussion
As far as the rotation of interdivisional games went, it was complicated by a rule that Baltimore and Washington played every year. So in 1960 and 1966, when Dallas and Atlanta had the round robin schedules, Baltimore's only interdivisional game was with Washington. So from 1961-65, there were only ...

Re: 1965 NFL season discussion
The Western Conference was better year over year than the Eastern Conference. This year, the West won 13 of the 14 interconference games by a combined score of 437 to 205.

Re: Your Unpopular Football Opinions
1. 1996 49ers had a legit running game? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: . 2. When they played the Broncos, Denver wasn't trying to win. I don't think that TD played the second half (Elway didn't play at all). 3. When they played @Kansas City (with an older Marcus Allen and no other feature back), they gave...

Re: Your Unpopular Football Opinions
The Packers played the AFC West so they did play three of the top 5 rushing attacks, which were all from that division. They also played the 49ers and Eagles which were top 10. Packers themselves were #11 and Lions were #12 and they played them twice. So that's 7 games against above average running...

Re: Your Unpopular Football Opinions
The 96 Pack were fourth against the run because they played a lot of lower-rated ground attacks. And, who cares what ESPN says? They probably have the 91 Redskins (another vastly overrated team) in the top two. The Packers played the AFC West so they did play three of the top 5 rushing attacks, whi...

Re: Your Unpopular Football Opinions
But had, say, the Pats all got the flu and Jax actually went off to NO, I couldn't help but think the buck would definitely have stopped there! Green Bay minus the points for sure (and it likely would be 17.5 at the very, very least). Mostly based on too-much-too-soon for Jax with the pendulum havi...

Re: Super Bowl LX, 2/8/26 Levi's Stadium
Its really amazing how many players constantly move around these days. It really is, a results driven league rather than patient player development. A player either has it down with a team or system within 2-3 years, or he is gone and replaced... Which means to me, among other things, that there is...

Re: Flacco makes his first Pro Bowl!

There was one report of Archie Manning plaing who was healthy ...
