Re: Have we considered digitizing the data in game books?

I thought they had wanted to do it years ago but didn't have enough volunteers to do it. Maybe I am thinking of something else though...I just know it had to do with play by play or gamebooks.

Re: 1987 NFC playoffs hypothetical

What if Minnesota doesn't even MAKE the playoffs and we get Cardinals/Saints instead of that mediocre 8-7 Vikings team having two randomly insanely good games? 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.

Re: Notable Landry-vs-Shula games

Landry wasn't the Cowboys' coach in 1993 though.

Re: Notable Landry-vs-Shula games

The games that stand out to me are 1981 and 1984. In 1984 the Cowboys had a great comeback to win 28-27. 1984 the Dolphins knocked the Cowboys out of the playoffs for the first time in 10 years. That game was great also.

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL

Would not a pump fake qualify as "any intentional forward movement of his arm" and even if not how would the official determine whether something was a pump fake or a change of mind? I never like rules that involve mind reading. I think what annoys me about the conversation here though is ...

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL

According to Wikipedia the Tuck Rule was only started in 1999 and was used against the Patriots earlier in the year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuck_Rule_Game
