1967 Falcons, coming off an expansion year, had NO ONE from their draft make the team. Shortly before the draft the Falcons traded their #1 pick (number 3 overall) to the 49ers for three players. The best of these players was WR Bernie Casey. I am guessing that Casey made it clear he wouldn't report...

After losing tough championship games, the players wouldn't have cared about another game. I think that's what killed the Playoff Bowl, in fact. For the first several years, the teams involved were just the ones that finished second, and the postseason appearance served as a lower-class award for a...

Remember in the early history of the league teams still played non-league games. At the time the point was to just make money for that day on the live gate. Who knew if your players would stick around, the team would stick around, the league would stick around. By the 1960s the Playoff Bowl, Pro Bow...

It was mostly little things. They had a big edge in yardage gained. #1 offense in yardage. But. They changed out both their kicking and punting specialists during the year. Not great. Staubach got sacked a lot, too many INT and not enough TD passes. Despite Pearson having a great year, as others poi...

1973 Rams were not that good IMO for being 12-2. Only played 2 playoff teams. Lost to Vikings and beat Cowboys. Split with the 9-5 Falcons. Avoided all of the good AFC teams. Except for McCutcheon, every starter started all 14 games. So no adversity there. Didn't pass all that much. Apparently Hadl ...

The only year in the 70s DAL missed the playoffs and the only time from 1966-1983 Their two most well known games in 74: one they won (Clint Longley on Thanksgiving), one they lost (First time ever they played Oakland, only time we saw Landry vs Madden) Made SB 10 a year later But in 1974…… what we...

I would pick him over Antwine, who is on the ballot.

Brooks had great sack totals. But are people burned out on Rams defensive line?

Antwine was inducted to the HOVG last year in 2023.

No, he came seven votes short.

Quarterbacks are the most important players and there aren't 32 good ones, obviously. You'd want to protect them, too. It's just good business. This insistence on bloodlust from longtime fans just baffles me. What, not enough people get decapitated anymore for your liking? Not enough guys unable to...
