Re: Interesting decision by Belichick in 1994

To me punting here is a very conservative coaching call. BB could have been thinking most about field position, which is why he opted for the punt. He could have felt a lot of faith in his defense too, that it would have been too much of a reach for the Colts to drive down the field to tie the game....

Re: What does an 18-game schedule look like?

That's close to how I envision it working out best, which is: · Six games within their own division (home-and-home); · Four games each against one NFC division and one AFC division; · One game each against teams in its conference’s other two divisions; and · One game each against teams in two divis...

Re: Mike Evans will probably never be first-team All-Pro

^John, thank you for sharing this info. It's helpful to at least have an idea of quantification beyond eras. It is also difficult to calculate in the change in rules on defense across eras, which I am guessing are not included above? Looks like Evans falls into the Top 25 when adjusting his numbers....

Re: Future Hall of Very Good players

^For the QBs I think part of their chances rests on how the committee views the inflated passing numbers in today's era. If they disregard them, it hurts all three. I don't know where to put Matt Ryan. IMO he certainly does not belong in the PFHOF. He was on the losing end of the two biggest blown l...

Interesting. Don't see that happening. But people do like "their guys".
He will do everything he can to make it happen for "his guy."

Re: 2024 Hall of Very Good Nominations

"Regarding those already in a Hall of Fame: We'll also have to discuss whether Flutie or anyone else who is in the Canadian HOF is eligible (in Flutie's case, when his 25 years is up). I would think such a person is not eligible for the HOVG. As the (a) Hall of Fame is greater than the Hall of...
