Re: "Name the Team" trivia part II
For what it's worth, the team I had in mind was the 1969 Broncos. Weird that is was the same year and the same league. Here's another team: *had two WRs that led the NFL in receiving yards earlier in their careers *had another WR that would go on to win SB titles with two different teams *had two p...

Re: "Name the Team" trivia part II
I was thinking of a different team but the 1969 Bengals would also qualify! Now I wonder how many other teams would qualify other than the one I was thinking of. There is actually sort of an interesting link between the 1969 Bengals and the team I was thinking of. :) I guess the thread should be re...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
Chris Mortensen said in The Sporting News after the first Dallas loss that the Bills should have traded either Jim Kelly or Thurman Thomas. I would have traded Thermal, and he wouldn't have been the only guy I got rid of. Ah yes, the start of 'hot take' reporting with guys dropping in to ESPN to de...

This team had exactly one future HOFer on its roster.
It's head coach won a league championship with a previous team.
A rookie cornerback went on to an over decade long career with 35+ interceptions.

Re: Looking At the Teams That Attempted to Threepeat
1974 Dolphins The Dolphins had beaten the Steelers every year from 1971-1973. Could they have defeated Pittsburgh in the AFC Championship? It would have been a great game. 1976 Steelers Even at full strength, the Raiders had defeated the Steelers in 76 and early in the 77 regular season. I'm not sur...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
Where does Elway rank for you CS ? I'm guessing above Steve Fuller? As for Denver always beating Cleveland/Houston, I have three thoughts: 1) You had two of the worst postseason coaches in Schottenheimer & Glanville, three if you include Pardee. But... 2) In a few of the games, two against Clev...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
I think that's kind of ridiculous, but I think you did mention a really overrated team: the 1985 Bears. They went 15-1 (winning a weak division in a walk) and routed an 11-5 AFC team quarterbacked by Tony Eason and coached by Raymond Berry; the 49ers went 15-1 and trounced a 14-2 team with Dan Mari...
