Re: Race for the final NFC wild card spot, 1981
I won't predict what may have happened but one interesting thing about Washington vs. Philadelphia that year; in week 4 Washington out gained them 337 yards to 221 but lost 36-13. In week 14 Philadelphia out gained Washington 416 yards to 176 but lost 15-13.

Re: More shocking dominant teams: 1981-98 49ers or 2001-19 Patriots
One thing that seems to be missing in this conversation is that the Packers of the 60s, The Steelers of the 70s, The 49ers of the 1980s and the Cowboys of the 1990s all hit bottom before they started their dynasties. The Patriots were an exception unless you go all the way back to 1990. In that sen...

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL
Agree with the sentiment but their skin color wasn't red. Red referred to their war paint Not to be argumentative but how do you know that? Is there evidence contemporary to the naming that would show that to be the case? In regards to the origin of the term itself I don't think there is a definiti...

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL
I am a fan of the team but there were Native American groups that complained about the name years ago so this narrative about it only being a recent "woke" thing is false.

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL
The color rush stuff the league was doing was the worst. The one game where both teams wore dark home unis, one red and one green was a low point for NFL uniforms. Both teams wearing dark jerseys was the norm until the 1950s and the rise of TV when in black and white people could differentiate the ...

Re: Most pts a team scored in a game w/out scoring a pass-TD; most w/out scoring a run-TD??
Off the top of my head the 49ers scored 44 in the playoffs vs. the Giants in 1993 with all run TDs. The Giants scored 49 on all passes vs. Washington in 1962 as did the Eagles in 1954.
Since they just came to me I am sure there are plenty of others.

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL
Hearing the words Tennessee Oilers together was big reason I stopped watching football for almost 3 years. The Baltimore Browns sounds horrible too. It's a weird deal all the way around. To each his own. The Baltimore Orioles were previously the St. Louis Browns so potentially we could have had the...
