Re: Seniors
Many don't remember that Scott started his pro career with the CFL' BC Lions in 1969 as a wide receiver. And in his final NFL season in 1978 he had 7 interceptions while playing for Washington. I think Scott and Dick Anderson are HOF worthy, but it seems that they have been cancelling each other in...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
When the NFC won 13 SB’s in a row, the conference was NOT truly deep and stacked Outside of the 85 Bears and 96 Packers- the 49ers and NFC East did most of the damage. You cannot tell me with a straight face that Minnesota/New Orleans of that era would have been a touchdown favorite in the SB. Ther...

Re: Seniors
To move onto a different player One player who looks like he could belong in the Hall of Fame based solely off of his resume (and is already in the Hall of Very Good here) is the Dolphins free safety Jake Scott. When I look at his resume, I see five pro bowls, four all pro teams (1972 and 1975 being...

Re: Hypothetical post merger Playoff Bowls
Had the 2019 conference runner-ups GB and TN met for the SB, I think the Titans might have upset the Packers. Derrick Henry was on a roll that postseason and had the Titans outscored the Chiefs in the championship game, Henry would have been rolling against the Packers as well. Yes, Rodgers was MVP...

Re: Records of one conference vs the other by year
This is great - where did you find it? I don't have the time but it would be interesting to compare what years each conference won the Super Bowl to these records. Colts won in 1970, I'd be curious what the Colts, Browns, and Steelers records were against NFC teams that year. Kind of surprised that...

Records of one conference vs the other by year
There are some seasons where one of the the conferences (AFC and NFC) is better by record. Here is the record of the NFC vs the AFC by year since 1970: 1970: 27-12-1 (.688) 1971: 23-15-2 (.600) 1972: 19-20-1 (.488) 1973: 19-19-2 (.500) 1974: 17-23 (.425) 1975: 17-23 (.425) 1976: 12-16 (.429) 1977: 9...

Re: Hypothetical post merger Playoff Bowls
Nice list! And time put into it! The problem with the 'Playoff Bowl' was you could never be sure if the winner won it because they were actually better or because the losing team simply wasn't motivated enough. We all know how Vince felt about the event. Playing for a bronze medal in the Olympics o...

Re: Were 10-6 49ers of '91 as good as record indicated?
I don't think the 49ers were as good as their record in 91, but that was true in several other 90's seasons as well, like 1990, 92, 93, 94, 96, 97, and 98. Those teams have more flaws than people give them credit for because people were brainwashed by the 9er-loving media that their players were th...
