Re: 1997 Raiders Defense

I remember being at a Raiders/Jets game where Cole Ford went 1/5 and absolutely cost them a win. It was one of those rare games where the Jets opponent followed the script usually reserved for the Jets At 3-4 they had a season to play for but then the bottom just seemed to fall out and looks like th...

Re: 2021 QB draft class

Just how badly Wilson can look out there is really jarring. Poor accuracy. Terrible ball placement on the easiest of throws. Perfectly set up screens which he throws at the feet of the receiver and 3 yards in front of him. No ability to read a defense. Will outright not see an open receiver and opt ...

Re: NYG under Ray Perkins, 1979-thru-'82

I think they are still good though not quite the level that master motivator Parcells would get them. You still have George Young and Ernie Adams there. The talent there would have them either in or competing for a playoff spot every year. I do not think Parcells stays there as DC & LB coach if ...

Re: Aaron Donald Retires

Absolute first ballot HOF'er and a dominant force. His ability to shed a tackle and just appear out of a mass of bodies at the line and rocket towards a QB was something else.

He could go from being engaged in a block to engulfing a QB 7 yards away in seemingly less than half a second.

Re: 1995 Patriots- What went wrong?

The defense wasn't great in 1994, but they finished 12th in points allowed and 18th in total yards. The next year, they dropped to 25th in points and 28th in yards allowed. One reason for this may have been turnover on the DL. In 1994, they had 12-year vet Mike Pitts and former Cardinal Mike Jones ...

Re: Kirk Cousins (R.I.P. Vikings career?) - How did he do?

With Cousins now going to the Falcons, the Vikings have their chance to develop someone from the draft but who will they go after? Well, we got our answer yesterday with the signing of Sam Darnold to the Vikings. They signed him to a one-year, $10 million contract, which I'm told is the cap-percent...

Re: 1992 Philadelphia Eagles discussion

Kotite in 1992 wasn't quite yet the total burnout he would be when he joined the Jets in 1995 (leaving his own teams practice early to beat traffic) Walker in 1992 was about 30 which was a scary number for running backs in the NFL historically, so it was quite an achievement for him to hit 1,000 eve...

Re: 1990's Chiefs

Marino -- 1985, 90, 94 Elway -- 1986, 87, 97 Moon -- 1988 Kelly -- 1991, 93 Brady -- 2006 All in the HOF but he also lost to QBs, Humphries, Harbaugh and Pennington who had g...

Re: 1990's Chiefs

Had Mahomes never came along, people would have said the same things about Reid, that Marty went through, though Reid at least won an NFC Championship with McNabb. Other than Montana, Marty's best QB was probably Rivers but thanks to Troy Brown stripping McCree of an interception that should have e...

Re: 2023/24 Super Bowl

Chiefs really are like the new Patriots...though for me a lot more tolerable. The Taylor Swift stuff, I really couldn't be more indifferent about her. Of course the NFL welcomes her army of followers and the $ they bring with them (most of it being dads money of course :mrgreen: the league already m...
