Re: 1983 Chargers
The defense was atrocious. They played a 3-4 The Chargers usually played a base zone, Classic Tom Bass. I think there were the things you mentioned plus the philosophical differences between players and Bass, and also fit. Bass wanted to run a Tampa-like defense and in 2nd year got to do it full ti...

The article starts on page 23. https://www.worldrad...

Re: Joe Thomas with 49ers
He was gone so fast --- and he not make a lot of picks --- and how much he actually scouted Bunz and McAfee But the other actioned doomed him ... all sorts of blunders and fighting with people, firing coaches unloading a few guys ... that seemed like good players So, not sure of the question, all I ...

Re: Best Teams To Miss The Playoffs
1975 Oilers- Same 10-4 record as Miami and actually beat them H2H (that famous NFL Films clip of Bum Phillips/Ronnie Coleman after the winning TD). If the 2nd WC of the late 70s had been around, they would have gotten in at the Dolphins expense Playing the the Steelers' and Bengals' division, too

Re: Seniors
As for Meador and Cromwell, I see what you mean when you imply that Meador would look like a better career on paper as he has two more pro bowls.

Re: 1974 Dallas Cowboys
But in 1974…… what went wrong? Maybe getting old on defense at a few positions, and replacements maybe a year away. Mostly, a rash of turnovers early in games they could have won if they'd taken care of the ball. Had they won a couple of them, rather than losing (could have gone either way) they'd ...
