Re: 2019 NFL Season Discussion Thread

As for Brady, he'll let us know when he's had enough. This could be it. He strikes me as the kind of guy who will walk away and still have one good year left in him like Otto Graham and Joe Montana and John Elway probably did if he calls it a career after this season, as opposed to Brett Favre and ...

Re: Carolina Panthers media guides

I have the Panthers media guides on pdf from 2011 forward. If you can find pdfs online, please let me know as I am compiling a library of media guides, otherwise, you might want to go to the Ebay or the Amazon. I have the same. For years I have been collecting the Panthers guides off eBay, but unfo...

Re: 2019 NFL Season Discussion Thread

I wasn't so sure Gostkowski had much left early in the season, as there was rampant speculation that the Patriots were abusing IR, as they are notorious for doing, to give him a graceful exit. But after seeing how poorly this team has done in the kicking game without him, I'm certain they're going ...

Re: Game books update

I am new here, but just wanted to echo others and say thank you for all the great work. Being a Panthers fan I have it better than most in that because the team is so young most of the history is readily available. That having been said however, I did start perusing the Gamebooks in the Members are...

Re: 2019 NFL Season Discussion Thread

That Vinatieri miss makes me wonder if the end of the road is very near for him. He has been slowly declining since 2015. Still 46 is remarkable even as a kicker Morten Andersen had a very solid season at 47. 25/28 and made all his extra points. Surprised he wasn't kicking next year at 48. He certa...

Re: 2019 NFL Season Discussion Thread

Looks like "Spygate" is back. Patriots video crew caught videotaping the Bengals' sideline last week in Cleveland. :lol: I would have expected this against the Ravens or Chiefs or even Buffalo perhaps, but the 1-12 Bengals?!? I guess the film will reveal the truth. If they were filming th...

Re: Troy Polamalu VS Ed Reed

As a Steelers fan, I loved Polamalu, but Reed was a much better player, and one of the all-time greats. Reed had twice the career interceptions of Polamalu (64 to 32), and seven career pick sixes to Troy's three. Reed also returned two fumbles for TD's, as did Polamalu, but also returned a punt for...

Re: Red Grange college stats

I would have expected sportreference.com/cfb (the college football counterpart to pro-football-reference.com) to have had all the stats for Grange, but they had nothing on him:

Re: Best Left-Handed QBs in NFL History?

Boomer Esiason was pretty good too. Young may have had the best stats, but a lot of that may have been due to the fact he succeeded Joe Montana in SF and walked into a system that was designed for a QB like him with a great staff and roster, and if was really so great, why couldn't he do anything in...
