Re: Wondering if this will work

I also disagree with this proposal for a set queue. I believe the discussion should be reopened every year. As Gary Myers wrote on Twitter, sometimes there are new voters on the Senior committee. Sometimes voters do additional research over the course of a year, and change their minds. It is true th...

Re: Latest lead taken and blown

Moore's catch came with 14 seconds to play. That beats the Music City game, in which Buffalo had taken the lead with 20 seconds left. It was actually 16 seconds. There were 20 seconds remaining when the ball was snapped on Steve Christie's go-ahead field goal. I remember wondering if Buffalo should...

Re: '42 NFL Championship Game discussion

Like T&S said, a great redemption game, especially for Baugh who intercepted Luckman to help win the game. Didnt Baugh get knocked out of the 43 Champ game by Luckman ? Yes, according to a Luckman interview with NFL Films, the coaches came to him before the fame and said "Sid, this is the ...

Re: 40th anniversary article about the Elway trade

Based on what I've read and watched, I don't think that's an accurate assessment of the Elway-near trade. What happened was: the Raiders needed another 1st round draft pick to send to Baltimore to meet Accorsi's price. Chicago had two first round draft picks in 1983, and the Raiders went after one o...

Re: Bud Grant-making a not-so-funny-joke

I have little doubt he was being serious. Grant loved his $$$, and made no qualms about coaching being a job first and a passion second. He would bring home leftovers from team breakfasts. Later in life he would unload memorabilia via garage sales, even though he had more money than Croesus. You wa...

Re: 5 straight missed PAT

I've been watching football for 60 years---pros, college, HS. I've never seen or heard of a guy missing 5 straight extra points. Brett Maher missed in Dallas's regular season finale vs Washington, then whiffed on the first 4 last nite before--finally---converting. Has anybody ever seen or heard of ...

Re: Mercury's Longest Run

I looked on Pro Football Reference, but I couldn't find the answers. Joe Zagorski Not sure how you couldn't find the answers. I went to his main page, and it shows the longest run for each season. It's apparent that the longest run of his career was 70 yards, in 1973. Additional links are available...

Re: Super Bowl 0 - What if?

The Packers beat the Browns by 11 (23-12, wasn't it?), and that team had JIM BROWN, plus Frank Ryan, Paul Warfield and Gary Collins. I can't see the Bills scoring more than 10, and that would be a stretch. On the other hand, I think the Packers would have scored AT LEAST 23 against Buffalo, so I th...
