Re: Notable games between two unbeatens

1981 Week 3: TNF, Eagles at Bills at Rich Stadium. At the time both teams were among the preseason favorites to go to the Super Bowl. The Eagles won 20-14 after trailing in the half 14-10.

Re: 1983 Chargers

I remember that in the Cowboys game, Rafael Septien missed an extra point, which turned to be the difference (they lost 24-23). Also the Chargers' Derrie Nelson returned a blocked punt for a TD. Nelson had been drafted by Dallas two years earlier.

Re: Best all-time roster: Centers

Ed Flanagan isn't one of the all-time greats, but he was the center for the first 10 years I really started following the Lions. He was there when I was in grade school, when I graduated from high school, when I worked in the auto plant, and when I was in the Marines. Like so many guys in all the s...

Re: Packers Saints rivalry

I believe that the Saints are also the only NFC team that the Cowboys have not faced in the playoffs.

Re: Was Roy Green a two-way player in 1981?

All of the names we've mentioned were just moonlighting, though, besides arguably Bailey. How long has it been since someone was recruited on both sides and jumped straight into playing both ways, eventually leading to starting games on both sides and playing nearly every snap, like Hunter has? htt...

Re: Two dumb USFL tidbits

1) The Chicago Blitz in 1984 had Dennis Shaw as their backup QB. Shaw last played football in 1975. 2) Luther Bradley of the Blitz played two games against the Tampa Bay Bandits in 1983. In those two games, Bradley intercepted Bandit QBs 8 times. IIRC Dennis Shaw was the 3rd QB for the Chiefs in 19...

Do any of you know the name of the NFL official who wore #26 in 1969? Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Joe Zagorski

It was Ed Marion, a Head Linesman from 1960-1987. He worked three Super Bowls (V, IX and XI) and nine conference championships.
