Re: 1976 Oilers

From 1975-1980, Houston had 5 winning seasons in 6 years under Bum Phillips The outlier was a 5-9 hiccup in 76 What went wrong?

Re: 2026 Hall of Fame Seniors - Last 52 Ranked by Position Group

I dont feel Seifert or the team believed that Craig's knee could recover properly. After eight years, bitter reality had set in, the Niners were gonna give up on him a year early than a year late. Like Foreman, Holmes, Davis, Sims and Andrews, it seemed to end too soon. The word around here was tha...

Re: 2026 Hall of Fame Seniors - Last 52 Ranked by Position Group

if there has to be one -- likely but not 100% guaranteed Anderson had a donut hole in career. Sure, injuries, lots of things out of his control, but if comparing side by side and have to eliminate two of three, I think that is biggest think, lack of sustained greatness. His best comparison though is...

Re: the 2-point try while down 9 debate

per Scott Kacsmar @ScottKacsmar Here's all 31 NFL teams that successfully manufactured multiple scoring drives in final 5:00 to win since 2001. 11 of them needed an onside kick recovery (OSKR) Only 7 teams have done this since 2015 (2 had OSKR). But note that 25/31 got started with at least 3:37 lef...

Re: the 2-point try while down 9 debate

The pro-2-point try at 15-24 people say that it gives you more information That "more information" is you're up sh!+ creek. If you want to know it now, rather than later, that's fine. But if you kick it, you are not in sh!+ creek until you miss the 2 pt after final TD. My issue is the att...

Re: 2026 Hall of Fame Seniors - Last 52 Ranked by Position Group

would anyone agree that otis taylor is at best a questionable pick of the three on semis, Taylor averages most TDs per 17 games, 2nd most yards per game, 2nd most receptions per game and that is without any era adjustment. Ellard has 4 'big' years -- 1294 yards or more, not many guys have 5 or more...
