Haha ... In what world was the Johnson-Aikman led Cowboys a "finesse" team? Yes, the defense was small and flew to the ball but that offensive line would pound a front-seven defense into the turf ... then, Moose and Emmitt would clean-up, into the end zone. Smith was powering through defen...

Good thread with SB teams that could, or should have three-peated. What about SB Champions that could, or should have went back-to-back as champions? A look back ... 1969 Chiefs -- In hindsight, I felt this team should have repeated as champions for 1970, following GB before the Dolphins. They destr...

RIP Jim Otto

A dominant player. For that time period, I felt only Jim Ringo was better ...

Even with Emmitt Smith hurt, I never believed the Cowboy's offense and defense would struggle so much to open the game against SF. Switzer simply didn't prepare them like Johnson would have, and giving up 38 points made me livid at that time. The 49ers and Young deserve credit for finally getting by...

Paul Warfield believed had the Dolphins gotten by the Raiders, they would have beaten the Steelers in the Orange Bowl before beating Minn. I am doubtful, without Jake Scott. Injuries to running backs hurt these teams chances, especially SF, Pitts and Dallas, though E Smith played well before leaving...

Where does Elway rank for you CS ?

The Steelers could have had a winning season had they beaten the Bears and Dolphins, blowing good leads. One of the best losing seasons for any young team, with the experience they gained. Chuck Noll was disappointed they didn't do better. The Cowboys 1990 season reminded me of this one ...

The Oilers couldn't win away from the dome. Cleveland's defense never had a pass rush to get to Elway. You can only cover receivers for so long. Warren Moon probably has the worst road winning pct as starter of any HOF QB ...

Parcells played not to lose? Other than Simms-to-Bavaro in NY, his teams had no major weapons. They ran the ball with tough runners to give their defense enough rest to bury opponents. Won everywhere he went, putting out fires from terrible teams, including his own Giants from 1983. The Redskins coa...

Haha ... we are all having some bragging rights fun and discussion on this forum and good debate is welcome for me. As for the Broncos, if they are considered an average, multiple AFC Champion, then Dan Reeves should be in the HOF. Elway should be considered the greatest QB of all time. I think he i...
