they are now. Back then? Usually, no. When I score things from scratch from the 1960s and 1970s I add the PDs and INTs together to be consistent with now UNLESS I think they are already combined So, I also don't count the "coverage" PDs, has to be a defelction but sometimes you cannot kno...

Hello all, hope everyone is staying safe and healthy out there. Can anyone tell me whether or not interceptions are also scored as a pass defensed? I’m going through all 14 gamebooks for the 1975 Packers, working to tally defensive statistics, which I’m seeing are inconsistent from game to game. Som...

1970's Best AFC Rivalry: Has to be Raiders vs. Steelers. Those teams and those games are iconic. Best NFC Rivalry: Maybe Cowboys vs. Vikings? One of those two were almost always the NFC representative in the Super Bowl, and they met 4 times in the playoffs. Best NFC/AFC Rivalry: Cowboys vs. Steelers...

I asked for the eight games in 1968 that we are missing. They sent me the scoresheets - not the gamebooks - for those games. Maybe that's all they have pre-1969? May I ask Tod what department responded to you from the Steelers? When I contacted the Packers it was through their public affairs depart...

. Steelers - Apparently they have no game books before 1969 (somebody went to their archives and all they have was from 1969 and later). I tried to contact them a couple times but never heard back Well, they must have them from 1968, because they are - sort of - on their website. Except when you cl...

Thanks Oszuscik, I found that site a couple of years ago and have been steadily working through them. I'm trying to convert them in Modern Game Book versions and I'm currently working on 1981. Unfortunately though there are still a number of their website that are either difficult to read or imposs...

Thanks for starting this thread - it was something I've been meaning to do. It seems like a few of us on here including myself had been in contact with Rupert concerning the gamebooks and had attempted to assist him to one degree or another. I was in touch with him concerning the Packers gamebooks a...

I liked Roy Blount's "Three Bricks Shy of a Load" book about the 1973 Steelers, but it might not be for everyone. Larry Fox wrote a book about the Steelers defensive line after 1974 that I found interesting. I really enjoyed Michael Macambridge's bio on Chuck Noll. Gary Pomerantz's retros...

Does anyone have any suggestions for good books on the Steelers dynasty from the 70's? I'm reading Bob Griese's book "Pefection" right now, and have "Badasses" about Madden's Raiders lined up for after, but would like to find something covering the 70's Steelers and the Chuck Nol...

I grew up on football in the 90's. Brett Favre, Steve Young, Troy Aikman, Barry Sanders... that decade will always be nostalgic and special for me, and therefore always my favorite. I ask this question though because I'm reading and watching more about the NFL of the past, and the 70's just seem so ...
