Re: 1992 Philadelphia Eagles discussion
They didn't call the 49ers and Cowboys matchups during that era the real Super Bowl for nothing. THere was a lot of truth to it. THe 49ers still had a lot of talent fron the late '80's Super Bowl teams and Dallas was building a extremely dominant dynasty that very well may have won three or four ti...

Re: 1995 Patriots- What went wrong?
Good take, but I believe unless Favre started in NY--and Wolf might have let him--he would have been out drinking anyway. Brett wasnt ready for big cities like Atlanta and NY, even for college, Big Irv wanted Brett close bye at Southern Miss to keep him focused. It worked. Had Brett been drafted an...

Re: NYG under Ray Perkins, 1979-thru-'82
Don't have a feel as to where it would be though...perhaps he's replacing Hugh Campbell in Houston after the 1984 season Oh, man. Parcells in Houston could have been huge. They would have had more discipline than they had with Glanville and Pardee, and they wouldn't have been running 4 and 5 wides ...

Re: 1995 Patriots- What went wrong?
A young immature gunslinger Favre in NY with the Jets could've been a spectacular success or an abysmal failure where he'd have to go elsewhere to realize his potential. He ended up in Green Bay with Holmgren, Sherm Lewis, Mariucci, Gruden...absolutely perfect. He would be here with Bruce Coslet wh...

Re: 1992 Philadelphia Eagles discussion
That 1992 Eagles team went about as far as it could. They ran into a Dallas team that was on the precipice of greatness. And if not them then the 49ers would've beaten Philly soundly. I saw them as unquestionably the 3rd best team in the conference in 1992...and yes New Orleans was 12-4 with a resp...

Re: Another 'NFL Throwback' from YouTube - EVERY SUPER BOWL RANKED
Good explanation Bryan. The 2000 season was definitely a fluke with the defense getting better every week and the running game eating up clock. Billick was arrogant, thinking he could turn Kyle Boller into a winning QB. The 2006 Ravens had their best chance to succeed for him again with Steve McNai...

Re: John Hadl to Packers in 1973?
It indicates that Hadl was being shopped around, considering that it was just a couple weeks later that he was sent to L.A. I don't doubt that the Packers were at least contacted. Yes ... Hadl wanted out, wanted to go to a winner, said he though he had six or so years left. Bears asked about him. P...

Re: 1995 Patriots- What went wrong?
The defense wasn't great in 1994, but they finished 12th in points allowed and 18th in total yards. The next year, they dropped to 25th in points and 28th in yards allowed. One reason for this may have been turnover on the DL. In 1994, they had 12-year vet Mike Pitts and former Cardinal Mike Jones a...

John Hadl to Packers in 1973?
According to this link, there were rumors put out by the Milwaukee Sentinel (in their Jan. 2, 1973 edition) that John Hadl would be traded from the Chargers to the Packers (which Devine denied): https://www.newspapers.com/article/portage-daily-register-packers-hadl-rumo/115643273/ Never heard of thi...

Re: 1990's Chiefs
Marty went 101-58-1 in KC but he wasn’t the right guy for the job? Ridiculous! He was the right guy for any coaching job that opened up anywhere in the league as he proved in Cleveland and San Diego and would have proven in Washington. Marty didn’t miss the field goals and commit the fumbles that p...
