Redskins @ Eagles 1982 was a great game.

Re: What's the least interesting divisional pairing?

As a Washington fan I was against the Cardinals as much as anyone else in the division, at least in the 70s and early 80s when they were sometimes in competition for a playoff berth.

Can someone identify a magazine?

I had a magazine that apparently I have misplaced. It was from 1995 and I think it was to celebrate the 30th Super Bowl but it may have been a preview of the 1995 season. All I can recall is it had a section with box scores and write ups of simulations of three potential SB XXXs. In one replay Dalla...

Re: 1987 NFC playoffs hypothetical

The Vikings were 0-3 in replacement games. At 8-4 in other games they were better than an 8-7 team though their playoff success was still u...

Re: 1972: Steelers VS Redskins

While this may be of little value the two teams tied in preseason 10-10. Bradshaw played the whole game while Jurgenson and Kilmer split time.

Re: '84 Broncos discussion

I saw them at the time as a paper tiger. Not a 13-win team. They benefited from at least one fluky win (in the snow against Green Bay), and not one but three come-from-behind 16-13 wins over division rivals. Still, I had to give them credit for prevailing in what was an insanely competitive AFC Wes...

Re: '84 Broncos discussion

Maybe someone mentioned it and I didn't see it but didn't Elway get injured in the playoff game? I seem to recall him limping a lot in the 4th quarter.
