Don't forget that Landry started with an expansion team. As a result, he began his career with five losing seasons and went 18-46-4 over that span. Reid and Shula didn't have that handicap.

Despite Purdy's decidedly mediocre play today the 49ers had that game in hand until the refs made a particularly egregious call on a third and long for "unsportsmanlike conduct" on a impossible-to-avoid hit on a receiver running a crossing pattern (who ran at the defender). I don't want t...

Do you think the NFL should list separate records for 10-, 11-, 12-, 13-, 14- 15-, 16-, and 17-game seasons? Should there also be records for those who played in only 5 or 6 games because of injury? I would go with 12, 14, 16 (& now 17) since they had been in existence for a significant amount ...

I assume you're talking about defensive linemen, since Night Train Lane had 14 INTs in his first 12 games.

How about the 1932 team, which went 10-3-1 but finished THIRD, behind the 6-1-6 Bears and the 6-1-4 Spartans? Under today's method of counting ties, they would have won the championship. They had 5 Hall-of-Famers--Herber, Blood, Hinkle, Michalske, and Hubbard, plus two players, Lewellen and Dilweg, ...
