Re: Obscure trivia
I dpn't remember Walter Payton having any sort of Pro Bowl blockers until late in his career.

Re: Another 'NFL Throwback' from YouTube - EVERY SUPER BOWL RANKED
I'm not knocking them down as to what players/coaches did before or after. I just focus on the season a team made the SB and won or lost it. If a team catches lightening in a bottle, and rides that to a dominant season for just that year, it's weird to me to penalize. I guess if I am judging Super ...

Re: Another 'NFL Throwback' from YouTube - EVERY SUPER BOWL RANKED
First Super Bowl I watched was SB 11. SB 13 is still one of the best IMO. SB 14 was also great. I agree that the Patriots/Panthers Super Bowl was another very exciting game and underrated with the other two I mentioned. My Top 10 of games I watched live as they happened would be (including the last ...

Re: Obscure trivia
And then my next thought was Elroy Hirsch - that's it. 24 games.

EDIT: Okay, now I see I clicked the receiving yards column. PFR has those listed first on his profile. But I still got Sayers right.

Re: Obscure trivia
Well, my first guess after Brown and Perry was that Steve Van Buren might have done it - so close with 18. Of course, he had a few 10-game regular seasons.
My next guess - Gale Sayers. 20 exactly.

Re: 1990's Chiefs
Before Schottenheimer, KC went to the playoffs only one time since the Dolphins playoff game in 1971. He won three division titles. Hank Stram won 4 in his tenure, which was much longer. Before KC, Marty made winners out of the Cleveland Browns. I understand that he didn't go to the Super Bowl with ...

Re: A question about evaluating quarterbacks
Two tihngs: 1. I have not heard of Strat-O-Matic, what is that? and 2. In my experience these days, coaches are criticized more for clock management than quarterbacks are. Strat-o-Matic is a board game. There are individual cards for each player and if you play out a season, their statistics will c...

Re: A question about evaluating quarterbacks
Reading this thread has me thinking fondly back to my old APBA playing days. Nobody rated higher than a 5 on those cards, and beery arguments with my buddy Gary over some QB (Brodie? Morrall? Hadl?) being rated a 3 one season. Played a few games while eating Cheetos. Orange thumb prints all over th...

Re: Obscure trivia
Here I thought it might be the Broncos team that went 11-5 and missed the playoffs in 1985, but I see that they lost to the Dolphins at home.
