Richard may not agree, but Greg Landry had alot of athletic talent in the 70s but couldnt really succeed. He wasnt arrogant or selfish like George but just couldnt meet expectations. Had some good seasons but couldnt reach his potential. That may have been more a team or management problem. I thoug...

Virgil Carter?

There was a transition over a number of years. With the Giants in the late 1950s they started calling Bob Schnelker a tight end, but I don't really think he ever was. In the old T formations, Schnelker was a right end. He would line up tight sometimes, but also with a small split or a normal wide sp...

When the Colts beat the eventual SB VIII champions in 1973, they had a second half drive that gave them a 16-0 lead. It was a 16 play, 47 yard drive, converted four 4th downs.

Not really fair to compare post free agency squads to pre free agency. FA made it impossible to accumulate some of the depth of the teams before. The 1987 Redskins? Sure. I think they could have played with a bunch of teams. But the 1990 Giants weren't as good as the 1986 team. The Bills basically d...

Yep, Eagles blew it, after a great defensive game. I wonder if the Jags return came off a squib kick? No, the Eagles kicked it to about the 8. The defense on the return was horrible. Moreover, the Jags have no timeouts left. So any scrimmage play in the field is going to end the game. Eagles should...

0-7 at the division level. I think all of those games are on the road too.

They have just never had that big season where it came together for them or they went on a run on the road in the playoffs. They get up to 10-6 or 10-7 and that's the ceiling.

The 49-0 Packers beat down of the Eagles in 1962 doesn't qualify on every front but is probably close. 37 first downs to 3. Max McGee rushed farther on a fake punt than the Eagles did for the whole game. The Packers attempted six halfback option passes with three different players. Hornung threw two...

It's also why Dave Hampton didn't get much of a chance to get back to 1,000, since the Falcons had to try to win the game. Hampton made exactly 1,000 on the second play of the 4th quarter. The Falcons then punted. The Chiefs ran a nine play drive and also punted. There were still over 9 minutes to g...

Snead only started 2 games for the 1971 Vikings. I wouldn't count him. Otherwise, John Hadl for Lynn Dickey would also count.
