Re: The most 'boring' Super Bowl ever, IYO?
Broncos-Seahawks for me. Literally from the first snap, it was clear that one team came to play and one absolutely did not. Dumb mistakes throughout, not a single minute of drama or suspense...an unfortunate throwback to when lopsided Super Bowls were the rule, rather than the exception they've been...

Re: NFL Defenses of 1977
Eller looked super light that year. Also some defensive tackles playing a bit skinner, too (Page, Brooks, Sherk maybe Chambers). I never thought about it, but you're right. Compared to the behemoths who would come along, linemen from that era look downright emaciated. In fact, I believe Alan Page a...

Re: 2024 Obituaries
Not a player, but I thought I'd mention comedian/actor Martin Mull, who died June 27 at 80. A Cleveland native and avid Browns fan, Mull's hobby was placekicking. Twice a week he would take a bag of balls to a nearby field to practice. After getting some pointers from Matt Bahr, Mull -- kicking stra...

Re: '84 Broncos discussion
I saw them at the time as a paper tiger. Not a 13-win team. They benefited from at least one fluky win (in the snow against Green Bay), and not one but three come-from-behind 16-13 wins over division rivals. Still, I had to give them credit for prevailing in what was an insanely competitive AFC West.

Re: What does an 18-game schedule look like?
That's close to how I envision it working out best, which is: · Six games within their own division (home-and-home); · Four games each against one NFC division and one AFC division; · One game each against teams in its conference’s other two divisions; and · One game each against teams in two divisi...

Re: Your starting team of Super Bowl-era players who never played in one
Ah, I figured I'd let at least one ringer slip through. OK, sub Kevin Mawae for Dawson.

For sure, Sanders could easily have a spot at either RB position. Your mileage may vary!
