Re: 1974 Dallas Cowboys
But in 1974…… what went wrong? Maybe getting old on defense at a few positions, and replacements maybe a year away. Mostly, a rash of turnovers early in games they could have won if they'd taken care of the ball. Had they won a couple of them, rather than losing (could have gone either way) they'd ...

Fouts should have gotten it over Mosely
and he did in the PFWA and NEA polls, so I give him credit for being consensus MVP anyway.

Lot's of good quotes, research
in that series. Lots of details I was not aware of ... salaries ... I bet Cliff and John M and Eric G. would like it. Would love to hear their thoughts, but then again, a lot of stuff that was new to me wouldn't be to them. I was aware of Nitschke getting benched ... and they cover that. Nitschke wa...

Re: Dumb and Amazing factoids
Came across this 'factoid' and found it unbelievable... When Gary Danielson was in college at Purdue, he set a school rushing record with 213 yards in 16 attempts against U of Washington in 1972. My memories of Danielson in the NFL was of a guy who could injure himself dropping back to pass, but I ...

Re: Dumb and Amazing factoids
Curtis McGriff started 71 NFL games and never recorded a sack, even unofficially --- yes he got lifted on passing downs but you'd think at some point someone passed on first down and LT chased the QN into his defender's arms.

Re: Seniors
, Jackson as said up top had the most receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns in the 1970's can expand that from 1969-81 -- #1 in rec, yds, TDs, 5th in YPC a 13-year span and he has a case and you make it strong. having seen him a lot ... something was lacking, dropped more than you'd...

Re: Goal Posts
Might not have been a league wide rule because stadiums were multi-use, the NFL might not have had the resources to put it in league wide. Just a guess. The extension of the goal posts in 1966 was because of the 1965 Western Division Playoff between Green Bay and Baltimore. Jim Tunney was the offic...

Re: Goal Posts
I was curious as to why the offset wasn't used league wide. 1964 NFL Championship Colts v Browns they are not offset. (hardly any padding on them too!) [/quote] I don't know---I do know the 1967 rule came about with the invention of the single-leg Y-shaped post. They were new ... 1966 -- I think us...

Re: Goal Posts
"Not much changed for the next 33 years until 1966 when a resolution was adopted by the NFL owners that required the goal posts to be offset from the goal line and should extend 20 feet in the air." 1939 Championship game. The goal posts are offset. I wonder why it didn't kick in to keep ...
