Re: Pre-World War One nominees for 2025 class
Shiring is mentioned in one sentence in Pigskin for a being a Massillon ringer. Kerkhoff is not mentioned in that book at all. Parratt was written about on a few pages. He was described as the best quarterback of his era. My copy of Cope's The Game That Was is sitting in my mom's home in Florida and...

Re: What NFL season had the least clear favorite in the preseason?
1999 Elway’s retirement made 3peat talk for DEN impossible The Falcons seemed to have “yeah but” one hit wonder vibes Safe to say the Rams were the longest of longshots This was ESPN's predictions for 1999 in form of power rankings; https://a.espncdn.com/nfl/preview99/rankings.html They had Jackson...

Re: What NFL season had the least clear favorite in the preseason?
2002 is as good a choice as any year. I don't recall a clear cut favorite. That summer I was in Las Vegas and did three $20 futures bets for the Eagles, Titans, and Jets to win the Super Bowl. Obviously, two of these were sure to be wrong. I was hoping one would be good. Considering the Jets played...

Re: Super Bowl LIX Thread
Thats funny ... I never said a damn thing about hating everything about the NFL. If I did, I wouldnt be watching or gambling on it. I didnt say it was completely rigged either, though I feel the officials, coaches and teams can affect outcomes. Hell, a team doesnt even get in trouble for not report...

Re: Super Bowl LIX Thread
Bills fans I have talked to, felt Mahomes dogged this game. They felt he deliberately allowed the Eagles rush to get to him by scrambling around or having nervous feet from the pocket. They remembered what the Bucs had done to him as well in 2021, while killing the Bills defense in both years. It w...

Re: Do the Chiefs deserve to be considered a dynasty
Imagine if a non-traded Haason Riddick for the Eagles had played in this current SB? I am not sure how much, if at all, Reddick would have helped. He was not effective with the Jets and if he played for the Eagles this season that would have meant less playing time for players who played well for t...

Re: 2024 NFL Playoff Predictions
Commanders kept it going, JWL ... huge win and my prediction of Lions-Steelers SB before the season, bit the dust. If Detroit loses their coordinators, will they meet expectations next year? Not saying he won't get a job, but Glenn is going to have a bit of a tougher interview process with some tea...

Re: 2024 NFL Playoff Predictions
At least to a certain extent, Darnold lived up to his draft status for one season and the pressure of these last two games had to overwhelm him. Losing hurts, but he has to feel keyed up for what might have been, and I feel he will try to come back to the team. If the Vikes bring him back and he ca...
