I agree the game is different and I am one of the first guys to say things like, "What about Otto Graham/Bart Starr/Johnny Unitas" when people start raving about current quarterbacks. I've been watching since the late 70s. I saw the back half of the Steelers dynasty. I watched Montana's e...

Reid is being underrated here fairly significantly. I said before the game the Chiefs would win and they would outcoach the 49ers. They outcoached the 49ers the last time, outcoached the Eagles, outcoached the 49ers again. I am very impressed by that. Above Landry, no question about it. Shula in th...

Speaking of Chris Jones, he made a huge hit on Purdy that could have been a wide open TD pass to Samuel. I feel the Chiefs will re-sign him. Great games for Bolton, Karlaftis and McDuffie. The 49ers pass rush could not get to Mahomes when it counted. If they do resign him it will cost them as they ...

I dunno. I just don't think that A.R. is really all that special. Personally, I rate the likes of George Halas, Paul Brown, Vince Lombardi, and even Tom Landry WAAAAAAAAY ahead of the likes of Andy Reid and Don Shula. Heck, I'm not even sure I'd rate Andy Reid (or Don Shula) ahead of Chuck Noll, Jo...

P.M. has more S.B. championships than Elway ever got (which makes ME happy - even if I'm disappointed for SFO tonight). Yep. And Mahomes didn't have to square off against teams like the '86 Giants and '89 49ers either. With how different the game is these days they almost should just start an entir...

Patrick Mahomes, now that he's engineered a couple of road playoff victories, has done just about everything that can be asked of of an N.F.L. QB. And pardon me if this has already been brought up (I'm a little upset that SFO lost tonight and as a result I didn't read this entire thread) but anothe...

Yeah I don't think quarterbacks of today should be compared to quarterbacks of the past century. The game is too different and far more stacked in the qb's favor now than it used to be. If Mahomes played like he does now back when defenses were really able to go off on offenses than Mahomes would pr...

Congraduations, Andy! This ought to move you past this debate IMO. Next mountain to try to summit? Joe Gibbs! Congrats to Andy. But I would still put Landry and Shula ahead of him. Andy is great play caller but he is essentially running a style of offense Bill Walsh created. Landry was an inventor ...

Of that list they gathered together '68 Jets-Not sure how their victory makes them an influential team as upsets happen all the time. I understand why they were put on the list but I guess the question is would the Super Bowl have taken off like it did if the Jets had lost that game? I think we can ...

I feel a little bad for BUF but they're so injured. . .I think the Chiefs have the better chance of knocking the Ravens off next Sunday which I CERTAINLY hope they do. THe Chiefs are going to have a tough time next week as the Ravens simply have a much better all around team. Chiefs fans need to en...
